The kind of ethnic supremacy, ethnic bigotry and ethnic essentialism and xenophobia I have heard from Nigerians is honestly as virulent and extreme as any racism I have ever heard or experienced. The things I have heard and read during this election cycle alone have shocked me to my core.
We can talk about afrophobia or xenophobia in South Africa but Nigeria matches or surpasses every violently insular instinct that they have. They just do it to fellow Nigerians who they do not consider as people who deserve to be in the same country as they are.
Multiple times, I have stumbled upon hundreds of Nigerians in Spaces online openly expressing the kind of violent xenophobia against Nigerians of other ethnicities that would make even white christian nationalists shudder.
Sometimes people ask me, aren't you afraid of racism in Europe? I remind them that the sort of violent ethnic bigotry and tribalism I have experienced in Nigeria and from and among Nigerians, is child's play compared to any racism I might have experienced in Europe. Racism might kill you. Nigerian bigotry will kill you or die trying.
All xenophobia is bad, but Nigerians as a group cannot claim moral superiority over South Africans who hunt African migrants in the streets when call each other aliens and foreigners and when they hunt each other.
One might argue, that if Nigerian ethnicities were different races, it would be one of the most racist places on earth.
Some people often wonder why some Nigerians abroad join right wing parties/movements in the US or Europe. They are shocked to find MAGA supporters or AFD members that have Nigerian heritage. I tell those people only to look inside Nigeria and they will find exactly the same kind of rhetoric or worse, only directed at people who look like them. There are people today in Nigeria who call themselves Yoruba or Igbo (insert other ethnicity) conservatives (by which they mean supremacist) who boldly organise themselves online along the same racist principles. I have heard some of them cite books and texts by core white supremacists, only replacing white with their ethnicity.
Whoever will change Nigeria has a lot of work on their hands.
Good morning.
I just want you to remember this:
Before now, kidnapping used to be something we saw on TV news.
Then it moved to us seeing it frequently on social media.
Then we started seeing people we don’t know directly come on social media to say they were once victims of kidnapping.
Then we started hearing from friends that a friend of theirs got kidnapped.
Yesterday, I watched someone I went to school with on the news after they had just been rescued from the terrorists who kidnapped them.
And oh:
We still have those kidnapped school children.
There’s been no major update or conclusion on that rape incident at the festival in that state.
Suddenly, pseudo intellectuals are pushing the dubious narrative that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are sustainable means of livelihood.
How about groundnut and sachet water business? They should include them too.
The defenders of this wicked regime are telling us that Remi Tinubu has donated billions of Naira to NGOs.
First, they should tell us where she got such money from.
Second, they should provide the names and locations of the benefiting NGOs, and verifiable evidence that the donations have been properly utilized.
The advocates of akara economy should set up this business for their siblings and family members to demonstrate the efficacy of their postulations.
Since your mother sold akara to train you, why haven’t you opened akara factory for your wife, daughters, sons and political associates to promote and sustain your mother’s entrepreneurial legacy?
With the collapse of public education, how many akara sellers in this country currently can afford to pay their children’s tuition in private schools?
How many akara sellers can pay the rising costs of tertiary education and healthcare?
How many akara sellers can afford to pay the rising rents in Nigeria today?
How many akara will one sell to be able to buy fuel?
If akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are viable and sustainable microeconomic investments in Tinubu’s Nigeria, let the defenders of Tinubu show us members of their families that are engaged in this enterprise.
The point is not that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli aren’t necessary foods, the point is that we are all witnesses to how the Tinubu family has amassed wealth and captured state power to entrench and further their selfish and greedy ambitions.
We have seen the insane convoy of Remi Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu and their benefactor in Aso Rock.
It is deceitful and disrespectful for the same family that is living in opulence, amidst the ravaging and dangerous hunger in the country, to be pushing akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli economy.
Bola Tinubu’s regime has been a wasteful and disastrous experiment.
We have seen how he is destroying our economy. But his annoying and power monger wife feels she can lecture the victims of their misrule and incompetence about the viability of the akara economy.
Enough of the silly expositions.

And there it is. The same govt that criticises China and Iran for silencing dissidents.
We've come a full circle, and at least we know this is the beginning of the end.
Take "Isreal" out of the Middle East and watch peace reign over the region.
Put "Isreal" [back] in Europe and watch the continent fall into disarray.
The math is simple.
White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.
In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.
Monsters.
I, together with ICC judges and Palestinian HR defenders, need your help to counter US admin's abuses.
Please sign and share the petition.
The EU must not ignore its responsibilities toward us!
Is everyone now accepting that a genocide indeed happened in Gaza? Because saying Isreal is turning Lebanon to a "2nd Gaza" is quietly admitting what you've denied for two years.
On this day 1,437 years ago, this profound passage was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) during the Farewell Hajj:
"...This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion..." [5:3]
