Nigeria really wakes up every week and asks, "How can we outdo yesterday?"

Tell me why a local sovereign publicly honors and presents an award to a convicted pedophile? What precedent does that set? What message does it send to victims?

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.

#TeachYouALesson - Just binged “Teach you a Lesson” on Netflix. The best 10 hours I’ve wasted this year.

Watching From feels like accidentally joining a cult where everyone just whispers “it gets crazier” and refuses to answer questions.

Love Island UK often feels like a humiliation ritual for Black women. Season after season we watch the same patterns play out.

@SassyUzy I think Faye might be unhinged. Freaking gaslighting teddy. If teddy gets back with Faye, he is officially a masochist.

Me: Does something using x method.
Supervisor: This is good. However, y method might be better.
Me: Repeats said thing with y method.
Supervisor: I think x is actually better. Can we do x?
Me: 👇🏽

@MaxxAsari Same. Real whirlwind of a year.

At this point they should start teaching improv in PoliSci 101 “How not to answer for stolen funds”. Collapse or faint.

🚨New accepted paper🚨
Q: People are less likely to provide 🆘 when they are in a group than when they are alone. Why?
A: Because they hope that others will help instead. It is a Social Dilemma! However, people in need still prefer larger groups of potential helpers.

The proliferation of smartphones and the internet is very critical to communities. One of the reasons we are so disconnected by news of attacks on communities in Zamfara, Katsina & even Jigawa, is the crass lack of real time information about incidents.

[Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala @NOIweala]

Happy for the success & continued progress of our @wto DG bid. Very humbled to be declared the candidate with the largest, broadest support among members & most likely to attract consensus. We move on to the next step on Nov 9, despite hiccups. We're keeping the positivity going!

Fear people that can act. Desmond Elliot came here like 2 days ago to drop AMVCA monologue but was guilty of what he was accused of. Talking about children and culture. A complete disgrace #EndSARS

The obviously misleading press Conferences held by Nigerian government officials lay the assumption that Nigerians are gullible enough to believe their Fake News. The facts are in the data. The ineffectiveness of this administration is downright unbelievable.

[Steve Hanke @steve_hanke]

.@MBuhari has failed. #Nigeria is in the grip of chaos. Bandits control major highways. The government can’t protect its own citizens from #BokoHaram or the #Corrupt police. #Unemployment stands at 27.1%, and #Inflation - which I accurately measure every day - soars at 30.37%/yr.

I understand looking out for ones father but the daughter of an ineffective president should see past her bias and realise how her father’s ineffectiveness is a significant problem in Nigeria.
