@SirJarus While we do it the most obvious way in Nigeria, this is same when doing business almost anywhere in the world. Replace buying a cow with making donations during campaign to a political party or a charity run by a topshoots wife.

Believe me: Life gets a lot better when you stop treating every inconvenience like it's the end of the world. Flat tire. Delayed flight. Someone cancels on you. Most things aren't ruining your day unless you decide they are.

@IgboHistoFacts Nna eh. For real?

[Peter @peterifii]

@ugouduh @SirJarus He will. But without checking, I believe their impact records for last season will almost be same. They cause so much issues but barely assist. They're similar styled players

Immigration is a difficult decision. Getting settled is even tougher. Many don't make it through and are dropped off at the last minute on technicalities, then deported or voluntarily return, and their stories are never told. I don't know which is more painful—doing everything right and still failing, or doing desperate things and being deported.

There is this incident I witnessed on an Iberia flight at Madrid Airport that still haunts me. It was humorous at first, but I later thought about how desperate it was for a man to start stripping himself naked inside the plane because he wanted to leave everything behind, as they wouldn't let him stay with his daughter.

They had to take him off the plane to save others the embarrassment. Another person saw that it worked and did the same thing. They had to come to ask if any others were also thinking of getting naked? A group of four people stood up.

The one that still baffles me is the lady deported from Jamaica, of all places. I knew it had to be for a crime, but she was acting so insane and wanted to open the aircraft door to jump out. She felt that death was better than the shame and uncertainty back home.

People wonder why I came back to Africa when I had all the opportunities to remain abroad. I saw too much indignity being meted out to Africans out there and decided it was best for me to come back and be part of the solution to fix things. I honestly believed tech could be part of the renaissance but never considered that politics and petty tribalism could become the undoing of it all.

I still have hope. I listened to a friend tell her story yesterday of doing everything right in America, getting a PhD and a great job, then losing that job and having only days to leave or be kept in a camp. She decided to leave. This is a brilliant scientist who was working at one of the top institutions. She now has to start all over and pick up the pieces of her life.

The more I hear those stories, the more I look to what China has done and hope and pray that maybe we can pull off such a miracle. According to our parents, “they don't have two heads.” Our corrupt politicians and criminal tribalists may also need to start getting the death penalty before we achieve sanity.

@Jollz @Providusunity Since they added that unity to their name, the disunity on their app has been alarming. I sincerely hope this merger is a good one

@nicholasibekwe Arsenal, Athletico Madrid. Bigger examples of great attacking teams that will always play defensive against a strong team. You play attacking and Argentina finds far too much chances.

@SirJarus I now call her Dr Congo 😂. I really believe their ignorance comes from a place of comfort. No need to study when the basics of life are easily available and they can go to Spain every other summer

[Peter @peterifii]

@SirJarus A colleague at work ask who is England playing when she saw DRC vs Eng, I replied Congo and she said oh we playing Doctor Congo 😂. Some people ain't just interested in geography

[Tyler DeLuca @TylerDeLuca]

“He has an American dad but doesn’t have any contact with him” is INSANE World Cup commentary hello?? 😭😭😭

[Elnathan John @elnathan_john]

I remember my red Audi 80. I would go to the mechanic on Saturday morning, then a car wash close by and then drive from Abuja to some random town in Niger State or Nassarawa, just because. No plan. No maps. Just driving. Sometimes I would find a random beer garden with fresh fish in the middle of nowhere. I never thought about kidnappers. I never thought about robberies. No one can do this in Nigeria today.

[Peter @peterifii]

@almajeed07 @elnathan_john I think this even ramps up the fear. If the terrorist and bandits are still dependent on the educated fanatics, what happens when they get down to he lower level of homeless uneducated ones?

[Peter @peterifii]

@SirJarus Since this stat discusses foreigners against the locals in Spain and Portugal, that means foreigners make up over 60% of the total Spanish population. Thats mind-boggling
