@ShehuSani This is an indictment on the poor state of historical documentation and archiving in Nigeria.
Are we then doomed to only rely on those old enough to have direct memory of events? And also, it’s dismissive of those younger people who are intentional about understanding our past.

The Noor and Kendhart solar plants in Morocco and South Africa respectively generate 510 MW and 540 MW.

Meanwhile Nigeria’s entire epileptic national grid can only generate about 4,000 MW. These plants can basically cover on their own a quarter of Nigeria’s generation capacity.

@jexsz The state of the opposition in Nigeria is apparently jumping on online trends, nothing more

[Alhassan 🗿 @peribral]

Nigeria isn't a very happy place right now, you feel it in the fabric on day-to-day life.

If there's one thing Tinubu can be credited with, is bringing blanket misery to the country. T-pain indeed.. truly the worst of what Nigeria has to offer

[Alhassan 🗿 @peribral]

How the turn tables..
All those accusations by the US against China were basically projections of their guilt, as is usually the case

🧵 Bangladesh’s Prothom Alo newspaper has a front-page story on the final moments of Hasina’s tenure. She insisted on using brute force until only 45 minutes before her departure; no amount of pleading from her aides and officials could persuade her to relent. 1/n

[Alhassan 🗿 @peribral]

Apparently the Security Chiefs have vowed to arrest the “enemies” of Nigeria.. basically protesters..

Nigerian ruling class want Nigerians to starve in silence. And nothing said about the govt sponsored anti protesters. Complete joke all of them

Nigeria needs to take a serious and hard look at itself in the mirror. The level of chaos and disorganization is truly unprecedented. Something is seriously and terribly broken somewhere. And a sizeable segment of the political and intellectual elite is in deep denial - when you raise an issue, even smart people become extremely defensive

[Ferdy @Burmese_Tyga_]

Nigeria is the first country in the world where the government has organized a counter protest to protest a protest that has not been protested. 🤦‍♂️

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

For many liberals, the destruction wrought by global capitalism--its inequality, its starvation, its ecological degradation, its war, its authoritarian corruption, etc.--is taken as a given. It's never part of urgent policy discussions on immigration.

In this day and age, the obvious display of racism re Saka in the British press is surely done for engagement farming.
And the response has been evidence of that; anger always gets more engagement. Not sure if that’s more or less insidious, racism for clicks

When Arise TV journalist, Laila Johnson-Salami questioned David Umahi, if the coastal project is Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approved. The wicked & clueless @DaveUmah tried making her sound like she doesn't know what she was talking about, but here we are today with news that the Federal Government has disembarked on the Lagos-Calabar Highway Realignment due to submarine cables. The FBI accused drug man assembled a collection of buffoons to run an election he stole by the way. Was anyone expecting anything different? Not at all. They never wanted to build anything, it was all a farce!
