“I Took a Loan of £75,000 From the UK to Come and Invest in Nigeria Because the Government Said We Should Come Back and Invest. But the Same Government Is Destroying Our Investment. As I’m Talking Right Now, I’m Actually Thinking of Counting My Losses, Packing My Things, Tearing My Nigerian Passport, and Going Back. I Have Friends Who Have Destroyed Their Nigerian Passports Because of Things Like This.” ~ Man Cries Out After His Investment and Business Were Destroyed and Demolished in Abuja Without Any Notice or Warning.💔🤦🏾♂️
Let me give you two instances, and as someone in the maritime industry, I’ve seen this firsthand:
Do you know why international-going ships don’t take bunkers (buying HFO—heavy fuel oil or MGO—marine gas oil) from Nigeria when they visit our ports? Instead, they sail to places like Gabon, Ivory Coast, Senegal, or Europe to buy. It’s because when they buy from Nigerian vendors, the fuel is often mixed with water and other liquids just to pad the volume. And this isn’t good for the ship engines.
Now let’s talk about ship chandlers who supply provisions, particularly food. If you order 200kg of garri or goat meat for instance, they’ll bring 150kg and invoice you for 200kg, hoping you won’t bother weighing it because it’s a vessel and time is tight.
This isn’t about de-marketing Nigeria; this is simply the reality of what they do.

Negotiating with the same people who have shown unending hate to you is an indication you have the survival instincts of a rabbit.
Tyla chose to drop Lagos from her tour amid the backlash; She cancelled her Lagos concert rather than taking her platform to address the xenophobic crisis. Let that sink in.

See your papa 1990s furniture, that table cloth senior me.
We really don't broke shame women enough
Looking like someone that was edited into the frame🤣🤣🤣🤦
Same girl will open her mouth to say "do you know my worth"?
Because of oversized bum bum!!!
Funny enough simps will always lick their shoes
My countryman's greatest undoing, has been his inability to stand on business
Steal from him, maim his family, rape his farmlands - The harder you oppress him, the stronger he'd love you.
That is to say:
Fuck you @Tyllaaaaaaa, your music & every moron bringing you to Lagos.
I find it strange that every few years, some Africans argue about whether their own native language is “useful.”
A language is not valuable because it gets you a job.
A language is valuable because it carries the memory of a people.
English connects you to the world but your mother tongue connects you to your identity, your history, your grandparents, your culture, and a way of thinking that cannot be fully translated.
The future belongs to people who can preserve who they are while engaging the world.
The real advantage is raising a child who can think, dream, and express themselves fluently in their local language, while also communicating confidently in English and other global languages.
