Those road will eventually have positive economic value. The best time to build the roads was 40 to 50 years ago. The next best time is now. Imagine how much we would have built those road in the 1970s during the oil boom and the effect on Nigeria's GDP
@DeeOneAyekooto That would be understandable but these roads have no immediate positive impact in the economy, not with the growing banditry activities, one can't even travel from Lagos to Abuja by road how much more Sokoto Badagry.
@hsprafrique Why do you think the NITDA open data project hasn't seen the light of day for more than a decade? Now imagine if datasets could be combined & analyzed? I have experienced govt rejection of tech driven transparency & integrity & they were unpretentious about it.
I didn't mean can't happen we have had military head of states in Nigeria I meant in the long run it will not work. The authoritarian government will be busy repressing people from the other majority ethnic group or fighting coups and civil wars.
Well my two cents is that a one man authoritarian can not even work in Nigeria. We have a heterogeneous country with three groups fighting to dominate national politics. Look at how there is no peace even in a democracy.
Nigerian twitter and the need to always look for Saviors so far its not of Nigerian origin
It was Millei at some point.. Argentina is in coma, everybody don rest
today its LKY.. Laughable
IFLee Kuan Yew was Nigerian, this same Twitter would have buried him.
70% of Singaporeans lived in slums when he took over. Double-digit unemployment. Ethnic riots in the streets.
Okay.. Read slowly what he did
He jailed opponents.
Sued critics into bankruptcy.
Crushed press freedom.
Ran a one party state for decades.
Used fear as a governance tool, deliberately, unapologetically.
The very things Nigerian Twitter screams about..
1) authoritarian
2) heavy handed rule
3) suppression of dissent
Singapore didn’t become Singapore despite the hardship of those reforms. It became Singapore because LKY refused to let comfort, noise, or popular opinion slow him down.
Drag a seat, Sit down.. Stop Talking cos nobody is fooled. Def not on this side
@Sweeegu This is a big loss. I don't think the premiers are going to reverse their blacklisting of products and companies. And now a lot of Canadians strongly hate America.
@the_beardedsina This is the best way to ruin bad habit for Nigerians. With graphic photos😭😭.
Some are touching their heels now and massaging it while swearing to cancel cipro forever 😭😭
Huge congratulations to @jovheather on a successful defense of her MSc work looking at ecosystem-level effects of Venlafaxine on aquatic systems! The twiterless Mark Hanson and I are very proud advisors today! Awesome work!
WE. DID. IT.
(Well, THEY did it...)
A massive congrats to every high school student who participated in our MeDLEY program—discovering the potential of eDNA to better understand our environment.

I showed up to support Chef Hilda Baci, in her quest to break the Guinness World Record @GWR for the longest time spent cooking by an individual.
Her dedication, passion for cooking as well as her desire to put our rich culture on the map by not only exhibiting our food but also the resilience, determination, energy and team spirit that has come to be known as the spirit of Lagos and indeed Nigeria is truly remarkable.
We are proud to have Hilda embarking on this journey in our state. I will continue to follow the updates and look forward to the final declaration.

My Computer Science degree that I normally relegate in Nigeria, Omo I reach abroad and discovered it is everything and more. It opens doors like maaaad. My MSc in Geoinformatics finished work. I paid about 110k in Unilag. These degrees put me two steps ahead. God bless naija
Using tracking software, endpoints like speed, activity & displacement were chosen to assess how polycyclic aromatic compounds alter behav. & subsequently survival. Results show no effect of oil on behav, yet comparison w/ + and - controls will help characterize oil exposure 3/3
The scientific community doesn't know the fate of freshwater oil spills. Our project: A study of oil spill remediation to examine the efficacy of engineered wetlands for degrading hydrocarbons. Using 9 mesocosms, tadpoles were recorded weekly (Total=930mins) (LOTR=686mins) 2/3
Guess who recorded more hours of tadpole footage than the entirety of the LOTR Extended Trilogy for one chapter of his MSc…THIS GUY!
Why? To characterize the effects of conventional heavy crude water accommodated fraction exposure on tadpole behaviour #CEWtweetyourthesis 1/3
