@AhmadouSardauna E shock me my brother, not a word from the commentators when Konsa made that dangerous tackle against Ghana. infact, the commentator called it an amazing tackle
If you couldn't defeat him in the 2023 election, what makes you think you can defeat him now that he's president? No one should claim the election was rigged. INEC shouldn't waste resources on an election with a predetermined outcome
@taadelodun The comments under this tweet are not funny, I was lucky enough to get 2 Visas at the same time in Abuja (J1 & B1), applied for the two and got them together
@Mas20twenty Oga Mas, this manager has to go, believe me, he doesn't know what he is doing and I can guarantee you I can coach this team better than him
I remember after i qulaified as Solicitor in the UK, i reached out to someone to facilitate adding me to the WhatsApp group of Nigerian Solicitors in the UK. My people I was rejected ooo, reason been that they don't accept +234 only +44, very typical of Nigerian mentality
I have spent years trying to debunk this. The entrepreneurial spirit Nigerians have quickly falters when we immigrate (ofcourse entrepreneurship in Nigeria is a little different than we are used to, but I digress), except around things that service other fellow Nigerians/Africans (restaurants, lounges, African stores, immigration consultation, buying scrap cars and exporting etc - these businesses usually cannot serve the broader community at scale and usually get into the "bad belle" politics of the Nigerian community. We also usually don't formalize and structure them adequately for many reasons - story for another day). Indians, Arab, Chinese etc. move and almost immediately, with community and immigration support, look to start businesses that support the local community (Ukrainian refugees who fled the war in 2022 are already another example) but also with almost unified support from a well integrated immigrant community - who have established themselves in the banking and financial system, local politics, business leadership etc.
Nigerians, on the other hand remain individualistic and compete with each other with the only semblance of unity being via religious institutions (and not broadly, like Nigerian Christians, more like "Redeem members") or maybe professional associations. The few who break this cycle don't see themselves as members of the broader Nigerian immigrant community with a responsibility to said community.
This discussion needs to be had, I am very open to it.
