After earning 300k( about 180$ monthly) working in a hospital that I can’t afford to be a patient, but worked diligently cos doctors are meant to have an ingrained desire to help people, i decided to go to a restaurant after my 10/11 hr shift.
To be cont…
Remembered when I got the MTN 5g wifi because I needed it for online interviews. Used it once and hardly used it again cos I was always at work. In a week,100gb had finished😭😭😭😭.
Checked the usage and noticed that the days I was at work, I used like 20gb per day. How?

Sad stuff mehn!!!! The guy seems to me like a simple, laidback, happy-go-lucky guy who is satisfied with a simple life. I guess this made him incompatible with someone willing to do ANYTHING to move up in life.
Anyway, I hope he heals.

Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!
@_NancySimire_@estherannuduma Your classmate’s dream is very valid. Nigerian medical schools have produced many doctors who have gone on to be neurosurgeons both home and abroad.
A lot of Indians working in the West are the first in their bloodline to have made it out of generational poverty. They grew up in remote distant villages far away from the influences of globalization.
Now that they are somewhat affluent they bring over their parents to show them around Europe. This is often a matter of immense pride for the family: a sign that they have arrived on the world stage and can afford to do things their forefathers couldn’t have imagined in their wildest dreams.
These parents often come from rural areas as poor as sub Saharan Africa. They do not at all understand Western sensibilities, have a completely different sense of what is polite and what is not and are usually extremely terrified and overwhelmed by a world that feels alien.
I understand that you find them inconvenient and perhaps even grating.
I get it. Their aesthetics stand out. They lack polish and seem out of place in glitzy European airports. Although the glitzy part is increasingly becoming contentious.
I sense the condescension in your tweet but remember at the end of the day these people are spending money in Europe, on hotels, food, and souvenirs.
They are giving more than they take
and it is important to see them as equals and not lesser beings.
You people should stop asking state of origin at first meeting na😭😭😭. I have seen excitement rapidly wane when i say my state of origin to people from certain areas.
It’s like asking your state of origin is extra screening. Question’s no longer innocent small talk.
If you see Nigerians at your workplace or anywhere you can get in trouble, don’t befriend them.
If you’re new to a place and see a Nigerian just ignore them, let them speak to you first especially if they’ve been there longer than you have. Maybe that’s the mentality they have that makes some treat people so badly.
Nigerians hate Nigerians that does not live in Nigeria. Or maybe the majority, both male and female I’ve met are just badly behaved. 🤷🏽♀️
This is Ian Umeh
A Nigerian Performance and Conceptual Artist.
I pray everyday he gets the recognition he needs internationally.
He creates different types of costume just like this chicken he is wearing now.
Some costumes take months to finish.
He is too good.
If you see this repost, who knows who might see him on here.
As the starting age of gen Z, this tweet is spot on, I am even lucky compared to younger folks.
Is it not obvious considering the fact that everyone is japaing?
50 yr old folks are leaving on student visa cos they know their children will have a hard time in Nigeria.
To all the persons refuting the facts in this writeup by saying BS like “you were lucky in your era” “ there will always be poor people”.
Respectfully, you are all mad🙏🏾
I i was telling my wife the other day that I feel so bad for Gen zs and the generation after them.
I was at an event that had a lot of them, and it was just sad.
Bad Govt and bad economy have robbed them of having a vibrant social life.
They hardly buy drinks at the club, can't afford cars, and can't afford decent apartments, so they create their own little way of having fun in raves and the likes.
No money to afford drinks. That's why you see prevalent recreational drug use in that demographic
From Uni, I was able to properly plan and go clubbing and will have such an amazing time, i would fly from Benin to Lagos with 10k then and not pay it any thought.
When I started working, my first car was 700k, a 2006 EOD in 2012 then, and when I moved to my first apartment. Rent was 1m for a 2bed on the island, and 1hp ac was 60k.
I remember buying a ticket to Venice for 180k and changing 2000usd for 360k at southern sun that year.
I feel so bad for them, their youth taken away from them because bad govt after bad govt, devaluation after devaluation.
That’s why I hope real lovers, people actually capable of agape love meet each other.
PS: The tweet quoted inspired this tweet, however this is not a direct reply. As I don’t have all the information of the given situation.
A lot of people are incapable of loving a person beyond the positives the person brings to them.
When the scale of comfort tilts unfavorably at any time, they put themselves first easily.
For a lot it’s not personal, it’s just who they are.
tried to reach guys that know the Tunde PM guy that died in Canada
I dont know what this world is going

Nigerians keep saying we need a guy like Lee Kuan Yew. He’s sitting in Aso Rock right now. Lee Kwan Yew was prime minister of Singapore from 1959 to 1990. By the 1968 elections, Lee Kwan Yew had destroyed the opposition. His party won all 58 seats to parliament, 51 uncontested.
