Pour mieux comprendre l’affaire en amont de la détention de @africatechie, (re)lisez ce thread. Ce qui se passe depuis trois jours s’inscrit peut-être dans la droite ligne de ce combat autour de l’héritage familial, où les magistrats semblent souvent corrompus... #FreeRebecca

@grok please, identify every people on this picture

[Sir J (J9) @SirJarus]

Three of the four Nigeria-based (Forbes-recognised) dollar billionaires in one location.

Then there is Bukola Saraki that appears to be friend with or grew up with every tier 1 rich person (of his generation) in Nigeria.

FO has been friends with Bukola Saraki since their 20s. Proper Nepo baby.

AMORI BRUNET comme patronyme est-il un nom patronymique beninois?

[Jean-Yves A. 🇧🇯 @monsieurdekpe]

Corinne AMORI BRUNET
​(Ministre des affaires étrangères)
Nommée ambassadrice du Bénin en France en août 2023, elle est entrée dans l'histoire comme la première femme et la plus jeune personnalité à occuper ce poste stratégique à Paris. Diplômée de grandes écoles européennes, elle a également officié en tant que Déléguée permanente du Bénin auprès de l'UNESCO. Sa nomination à la tête de la diplomatie béninoise marque une volonté claire d'impulser une politique étrangère moderne, axée sur le développement et le rayonnement culturel.

Yes. The author is Airy Routier. I love his writing style. May his soul rest in peace!

Have you ever read a book by an author that was so good it made you want to read everything else they've written?

@akintollgate Did you heard about the recent farouk ahmed case in nigeria? You need to question the source of all these money.

@JoshuaKushner This is what drives us everyday @RadicalAI. The huge number of materials scientists that tell us it is impossible, and this fuels our fire to change the world.

[Senator Shehu Sani @ShehuSani]

You chase for greener pastures in Europe,Canada and America but The Chinese,Indians and Lebanese are chasing for greener pastures in your country.What are they seeing that you are not seeing? What are you seeing that they are not seeing?..How do they become richer and realise their dreams in your very country that you think is inhospitable and poor?

[Olúwaṣẹ́gun @DGNaija]

Dear Senator, you are either ignorant of the facts or deliberately ignoring reality, as is typical of many Nigerian politicians.

Foreigners coming to Nigeria aren’t here because Nigeria is suddenly a paradise. They’re here because Nigeria is a high-risk, high-return environment with weak regulation, cheap labour, and a massive population.

Most Chinese, Indians, and Lebanese who come here don’t start from scratch like the average Nigerian. They come with capital, family business networks, access to foreign credit, and supply chains already in place. That alone changes the game.

They also operate in spaces where rules are loose. Weak enforcement, tax loopholes, and flexible standards make it easier to do business. Meanwhile, a Nigerian running the same business deals with multiple taxes, endless harassment from agencies, and zero access to affordable loans.

There’s also the currency angle. When your capital is in dollars, yuan, or rupees and you’re earning in naira, you already have a head start. Nigerians earn and spend in naira, not the same race.

And let’s be honest: many of these businesses don’t “build Nigeria.” Profits are sent back home, goods are imported, and locals get low-paying jobs. That’s not faith in Nigeria; that’s opportunity in dysfunction.

Nigerians aren’t leaving because they can’t see opportunity. They’re leaving because of insecurity, unstable policies, poor infrastructure, and a system that punishes hard work and rewards connections.

So no, foreigners aren’t seeing something Nigerians are blind to. They’re seeing profit where systems are weak. Nigerians leaving are just choosing systems that actually work.

If Nigeria worked for its citizens the way it works for foreign capital and connected elites, “japa” wouldn’t even be a topic.

Parfois je pense que certains avocats sont des mercenaires. Ils cherchent à défendre l'indéfendable en empêchant une pactole au passage.

Chers tous, achetez des terrains au bord des routes nationales et autres axes très propices aux activités économiques.
Vous n'imaginez pas combien il est difficile de trouver un bureau/local disponible à la location au bord des nationales.
