Americans manh "rely on us for protection"😂 No special relationship, of course but nobody can point to a time when the US "protected" Britain from anything. The 2 world wars? Suez? Falklands?

If anything, it's the US that has been the shameless leech - from Iraq to Hormuz

I used to watch the World Cup and the Euros and support whichever team had black people in it, but now every team has black people in it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Obsessing over the fortune of the wealthy is a low intellect activity, and no one can convince me otherwise.

Every middle class Nigerian. Some upper class and lots of lower class ones too.

People who mainly speak (Nigerian) English, though not at a native level but are even less fluent in their so-called "native" language. Semi-linguals

[Ante D. Luvian @uncle_deluge]

There are millions of people in the world speaking what I like to call ESLFL: "English as a second language, as a first language"

@NuesDaily Lol at least Buhari actually had aura and didn't invest state fund in his private business.

@AfroVII Lol this is not only not a problem, that's precisely how "dual-nationality" works. And it's unsolvable if eligibility stays tied to residency/citizenship.

These people don't just show up in Lagos to run, many were born/raised/lived most of their lives there - from Jakande to KOH

[Olú @olugbemi__]

@DoubleEph Lol that person is not serious. "economic failures" like it's some act of God, and not decades of crippling sanctions.

Instructive that poster child is about half of Iran's per capita GDP without any shackles.

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza.

“It’s saddening that To Kill a Monkey is nowhere near the excellence we hoped for. Sure, it’s exciting TV, but it’s also a lesson in bad storytelling.”

This captures my thought about TKAM very precisely.

The mediocrity is baffling but predictable. A 2-hour movie's story that is turned into an 8-part series written, produced and directed by just one person was only going to be a slop.

@DoubleEph A truly fascinating read.

Although his economic failures are bare, the underlying policy instincts are quintessentially Nigerian.

As this article 👇 eloquently captures it, people hate the outcomes of ideas they strongly believe in https://t.co/74jhV93VUb

@NuesDaily Lol even worse cos he was gov for eight unremarkable years 😂

[Olú @olugbemi__]

Agree with the central theme here - didn't go far enough sef. But Singapore is a poor example.

Politics and policies exist in a social context, and Nigeria's couldn't be more different from SG - a tiny, racially stratified trading port. Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand perhaps.
