First-world countries will invite immigrants to fill jobs, but won’t educate citizens on why they need immigrants to fill those jobs.
When the citizens start complaining, they will pretend to be tough on immigration, fully understanding they caused the problems.
Repeat cycle
First they came for the Nigerians, and I did not speak out, because I was not Nigerian.
Then they came for the Zimbabweans, and I did not speak out, because I was not Zimbabwean.
Then they came for the Ghanaians, and I did not speak out, because I was not Ghanaian.
Then they came for me, a true South African and there was no one left to speak for me.
I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women.
I changed a single variable: My name.
Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff."
As someone who moved back to Nigeria to remain permanently after attempting to live in the UK, I can attest with complete confidence that this is not being talked about enough.
More than half of Nigerian immigrants in Canada screen positive for clinical depression.
Not homesickness. Not stress. Clinical depression. Measured. Peer reviewed. Published.
The risk does not go down the longer you stay. It goes up.
The japa conversation is about getting there.
What happens after you arrive and the adrenaline wears off is a conversation we are not having.
Are we talking about this enough or are we still calling it a spiritual problem?
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!
This is disturbing, I can’t even sleep.
Tinubu is implementing — SAP 2.0, a program of the IMF. It will lead to premium tears.
Babangida tried it & it failed woefully.
In fact, it led to Anti-SAP Riots in 1989.
SAP caused the rapid depreciation of the Naira, inflation, widespread hunger, & cost of living crises. The protests forced IBB to call for the 1993 Presidential Election that produced MKO
BAT is implementing the same failed policies in 2026. SAP or (Structural Adjustment Program) is exploitative. It was carefully designed by the IMF & World Bank to ensnare developing nations into debt traps & neo-colonial reliance.
Chief MKO Abiola was fiercely against it.
He was vehemently against these Bretton Woods Institutions. Nigerians should know their History. “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Bola Tinubu is out to destroy Nigeria completely. You can read more here:

Especially women. We can wake up one day & all our rights will be taken away on a whim but never for men. The Afghan women went to bed one night & woke up the next day as slaves in their own homes & it haunts me everyday.
It's amazing the kinds of things you can get away with when your skin is white.
Nigerian, Indian and Bangladeshi students who actually pay their fees despite it being x5 higher than what is required for British and EU students are the problem. They are the ones holding Britain back.
My stance is now more military. You must be deadly in condemnation of rape as a Soviet if you want to progress. It has to be one of the worst things a person can do. The legal and social punishments must carry the highest weight. It’s the only way
FATHERS ARE RAPING THEIR DAUGHTERS!!!!
BROTHERS ARE RAPING THEIR SISTERS!!!!
COMMUNITY BOYS ARE RAPING FEMALE STUDENT!!!!!
GUYYYSSS IT'S SCARY HERE
THEY'RE EVEN ENTERING PEOPLE'S COMPOUND!!!
Sometimes I sit with the reality of how unkind this world is to women, and it breaks my heart.
It is one thing for the world to fail women.
It is another thing entirely for people to organise cruelty against women and give it a cultural name.
That is barbarity!
That is evil!
