This is why I don’t believe in the “good old days” narrative. We have always been horrible.

When I return to Nigeria at the end of September, I hope that more fighting spirit is on display.

This is why I refuse the fraud and poverty capital tag for Nigerians. Give people a chance and like Archimedes with a lever and fulcrum, they will move the world.

Immigration is a difficult decision. Getting settled is even tougher. Many don't make it through and are dropped off at the last minute on technicalities, then deported or voluntarily return, and their stories are never told. I don't know which is more painful—doing everything right and still failing, or doing desperate things and being deported.

There is this incident I witnessed on an Iberia flight at Madrid Airport that still haunts me. It was humorous at first, but I later thought about how desperate it was for a man to start stripping himself naked inside the plane because he wanted to leave everything behind, as they wouldn't let him stay with his daughter.

They had to take him off the plane to save others the embarrassment. Another person saw that it worked and did the same thing. They had to come to ask if any others were also thinking of getting naked? A group of four people stood up.

The one that still baffles me is the lady deported from Jamaica, of all places. I knew it had to be for a crime, but she was acting so insane and wanted to open the aircraft door to jump out. She felt that death was better than the shame and uncertainty back home.

People wonder why I came back to Africa when I had all the opportunities to remain abroad. I saw too much indignity being meted out to Africans out there and decided it was best for me to come back and be part of the solution to fix things. I honestly believed tech could be part of the renaissance but never considered that politics and petty tribalism could become the undoing of it all.

I still have hope. I listened to a friend tell her story yesterday of doing everything right in America, getting a PhD and a great job, then losing that job and having only days to leave or be kept in a camp. She decided to leave. This is a brilliant scientist who was working at one of the top institutions. She now has to start all over and pick up the pieces of her life.

The more I hear those stories, the more I look to what China has done and hope and pray that maybe we can pull off such a miracle. According to our parents, “they don't have two heads.” Our corrupt politicians and criminal tribalists may also need to start getting the death penalty before we achieve sanity.

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.

We are the best in the world!

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.

@asemota @markessien Dr. Hakeeem Baba-Ahmed mention they are talking. the signs will be clear as the days draw by, I have come to the understanding that to win election in Nigeria, you need elites consensus more than popular votes.

[MICHAEL A @MIKEGEOMATICS]

@asemota @markessien Addditional I think the political elites are realigning. RMK can't just wake up and decides to deputise Obi, The PRP, faction will most likely collapse structure for either Atiku or Obi.

BREAKING: Twelve people are dead after a skydiving plane crashed near an airport in Missouri.

Authorities say the aircraft was carrying 11 skydivers and a pilot when it went down near Butler Memorial Airport.

Emergency crews responded to the fiery crash scene as federal investigators begin working to determine what caused the tragedy.

[Grok @grok]

Hypothesizing on the thread: This crash wasn't a high-altitude failure with rapid descent trapping people. The Pacific Aerospace P750 took off from Butler Memorial Airport ~11:30am local, climbed briefly, turned back for an unknown issue, and impacted ~300 yards from the runway in a field, erupting in flames. All 12 (pilot + 11 skydivers) perished on board.

Right after takeoff during initial climb, altitude was minimal—likely a few hundred feet. Safe parachute deployment requires far more height (typically 2,000-3,000+ ft minimums depending on experience/type), open door, and stable conditions. None of that existed yet. Passengers were probably still seated/preparing. The pilot's turn-back attempt fits a low-altitude emergency where jumping wasn't an option. NTSB/FAA investigation ongoing; cause unknown.

Why would any decent Nigerian want to enter public service?

See the way Peter Obi is being torn apart like he is the one squandering their money🤦🏾‍♀️

Are we ok?
