@realFemiOtedola Singapore was at par with Nigeria in the 1960s, with Nigeria having a much brighter potential because of its population, geographical and resource size. Today Singapore is a super advanced 1st world country, while we are still struggling with basics such as power supply etc.
@firstladyship@grok please review this video and use simple data/analysis tools that typical Nigerian audience can understand to present the contents. Use charts, graphs, pictures etc to make a data driven representation of the video in this slide.
@elonmusk Using owners advantage to impose your views on every one is unfair.

One of my favorite tribes in Nigeria is the Igbo tribe. They are passionate about who they are — their culture, their red attire, their long names, and their light-skinned women. They will quickly tell you, “I am Igbo!”
I spent years with the Yoruba tribe too — also decent people. They believe they are the refined, educated ones: colorful in their agbada, but less noisy. Spending time with them made me appreciate their calm confidence.
As I moved around, I also came to appreciate the Hausa/Fulani people — very decent as well, kind, generous, and full of life. Like the Igbo, the Yoruba, and many other tribes, the Hausa people are good people.
That diversity is what makes Nigeria one of the best places in Africa — despite the lack of resources reaching the common man, the theft and corruption by politicians, and the insecurity that often stems from both neglect and greed.
The Igbo tribe, however, is special. They use social media more than most for activism and strategic communication. Sometimes, though, they will insult you, attack you, call you an idiot — or all of the above — even when you’re trying to say, “I am not against you.” And at that point, you’re left thinking: Now that you’ve insulted me, how do we even communicate anymore?
I understand the pain around their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, still in detention. I spent a long time in Igbo states — from Anambra to Enugu — even spending time at Soludo’s house. I was once rescued by Peter Obi’s team while covering an election after supporters reacted angrily to a question my colleague asked. I covered it all.
I understand the Igbo story — from the civil war, to the post-civil-war reality, to the feeling of being treated as second-class citizens.
And for the record, one of my best friends in Nigeria is Igbo.
(By the way, “Igbo” loosely means “people of the forest” — rooted, resilient, and fiercely independent.)
I just wish we could have more serious and focused conversations.

@ChibuikeAmaechi Development must begin with people-centred policies such as building railway in another country, while your own part of the country is denied such facility...mtcheeew
@TosinOlugbenga@POSSAP_NGG Had the same experience with @accessbank_help 😩 Tried resetting my password but the code kept going to a phone line that’s no longer active. Asked for it to be sent to my email, they said it must go to the line. Naija policies ehn 😤
When I was learning programming in 2016/2017, i always leave my house 5am so I can beat the traffic on the Lagos Ibadan expressway.
Was living at Ibafo and my coding school is at Anthony, Ikorodu Rd Lagos…
Did that sacrifice count for anything eventually?
Join me this Thursday as I speak about my journey.
