If someone came to me and said they were looking to start traveling for the love of it, these countries would be my top recommendations.

1. Kenya
2. Georgia
3. Albania
4. Lebanon (💔)

I feel sorry for students who want to learn for real, who want to write real papers & figure out problems & develop their own theories from actual reading. Bc they're competing with kids using AI to cheat who can get more done in a short amount of time & maybe get better grades.

People attending Redeem Christian Church of God are utter jokers.

This church has been extracting money out of Nigerians in the name of offerings and tithes since I was born and yet Nigerians are still so gullible.

Look at their stupid flippant response.

Why are you attending?

Hot take:

A downside to our attempt at normalizing childfree adults, is that some of us have begun to actually HATE children who are already here. Honestly that is between you and your therapist to unpack, but here’s my thing;

Children are the responsibility of society. No matter who they belong to, it is our responsibility as members of society to keep them safe at all times and never pose a threat to them.

Side eyeing hair stylists & makeup artists in Canada. Smh.

I’m less concerned about their uniform in the movie… just that it eerily felt & looked like OITNB.

But even with creative license, you need to convince me that inmates in Nigeria can dress like this, behave like this, etc. so will wait to watch the movie!

The saddest thing about the industry is that films from 30 years ago, have shown themselves to be more progressive in plot and theme than films from today.

Films from 25 years ago aimed to educate, and sensitise on societal issues. Death has stolen great minds from the industry

I remember when I put Endsars on the church projector and they told me to take it down

I laughed man, church una, spineless institution

When people said that their advisor messed up their schedules and that they have to take extra classes because of it like baby they have the curriculum for your major on the website and you could just make your own schedule from there 😭😭

After the premiere of The Trade, I got chatting with producers. I asked them why they didn’t just let Eric get away? He was the perfect villain. You’re rooting for him.

Guess what they replied? Nigeria and Nigerian board restrictions.

Another time, I was cast for a movie that ended being cancelled because the NPF refused to approve how the script portrayed them. It was either they shot it without NPF which was the soul of the plot (ie use any other uniform that doesn’t suggest the NPF, what’ll be the point?), or not shoot at all. They canceled.

The Nigerian creative industry is not just restricted by “obvious” factors… there’re things that go on behind the scenes that greatly stifle ideation.

In the movie Top Gun, the US Navy provided them access to the Ranger aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and ACTIVE-DUTY military pilots to perform the aerial stunts.

In Transformers, the production received massive logistical support. They provided them with helicopters, Raptors, and actual military bases to use as filming locations.

In Ironman, Marvel Studios was granted access an air force base and actual military aircraft to film the scenes where Tony Stark's experimental suit clashes with the US Air Force.

To mention but a few.

But in Nigeria, if you wear Camo as a civilian, you’ll witness wonders.

The state of this nation affects EVERYTHING. It ruins things in ways you can’t begin to imagine until you have skin in it.

You go outside to shoot, you have to deal with street louts. You have a script that touches major sectors, and you’ll have to seek approvals upon approvals, or risk your movie been banned after release.

If this series even remotely refers to a particular national body, and the plot becomes too real, it’ll only take one person who feels attacked to can it.

These people are not stupid. They’re also navigating Nigeria like everyone else.

Let’s be kinder with our criticism.

Nigerians Celebrities are actually losers . Adekunle gold, davido , wizkid , burna boy and co

[Lilyallly❤️🇬🇧 @lilyally98]

Oh please.

I have lived in Uk, Us and Canada.

I want to bloody go home.

Being abroad is not a flex.

I want my home country to work.

Encourage your people in Nigeria to get their PVC, we need to vote that VAMPIRE out.

I want to thrive at HOME.

[Toyosi Stephen Adedara @TSAdedara]

As an international student from Africa, when people are talking down on Black people in America, speak with care.

Our presence and opportunities here especially in higher education is because of their efforts. I don’t think you are in the place to berate them.

Be grateful.

One of the issues in hiring in Nigeria is that people don't understand first principles.

Computer Science isn't about coding. It's about mathematical concepts and logic that facilitate the creation of computing tools and platforms.

A bulk of Computer Science is actually Mathematics, but as they apply to computing. For example, you learn Automata Theory, Context Free Grammars (CFGs), etc etc. It's largely theoretical.

Now, a Computer Scientist should use knowledge got from Automata Theory to build Compilers or Programming Languages. That's how it works.

Many of these self-taught developers just take a stack and run with it without understanding the underlying workings. You still can't be at the level of Computer Scientists who deeply understand these concepts and create tools that you use and feel good about yourselves. Your bootcamp and Udemy subscription isn't a Computer Science degree.

In the yoruba culture, the bride's family funds the wedding ceremony, the groom can only support.

The bride's family is the host.
They decide the venue and location of the wedding ceremony.

Many of you don't even know anything about your culture or identity.
That's why it's easy for one loud mouth to make a video saying "Your grandma might not even know she's Yoruba..." very ignorant and loud.

Rooting for @github. They’ve given me years of free infra. happy to give them some time to figure this out. You got this.

There’s nobody in this world that can gaslight you more than a braider who wants to use gel on your hair.

[🥀 @bookofesther_]
