At first, I thought you were just naive & excited for her. Maybe, you didn't realize how this could hurt her chances.
Then I checked to see if you attached your face to being a queer too (that can explain the naivety), & I saw this your post!
I realized you're fully aware of what you did, the cruelty of it & the consequences it could have. You linked her face, life, & career to being queer in a country where people have been attacked & even killed simply for being queer.
I hope she stays far away from you bcos you're not her friend, you're her enemy.
Focusing a major part of my education intervention in the South East is not tribalism.
I am not a political office holder. I’m just an ordinary citizen like you.
If you feel upset about it, why not focus on your region?
Our collective efforts will make Nigeria better.
Last jamb was a disaster for my village youngsters. Over 70% of them failed jamb and the rest sparely passed. Rather than waiting for the government, we decided to take a different approach. We took the challenge upon ourselves for it not to repeat itself again. Every youngster in my village right now is on an intensive morning and evening drilling for next years Jamb and they undertake CBT once monthly with large pool of 16 years past questions across different subjects. In the CBT we track their performances on different topics and lays more emphasis on their weaknesses across different subject topics. One common thing we noticed is that many of the youngsters are alien to computers and can't even use a mouse nor keyboards. How were they planning to succeed in jamb when they could had probably be using a computer for the first time on Jamb day?
It's an eye opener and our mission is for all of them to score above 250. We will be paying for all their jamb exam fees and are also offering full scholarship to everyone that scores 300 and above.

Tunde Onakoya teaches chess only to the kids from the Southwest, and has taken them abroad. We were happy and celebrated him for doing a great job.
Alex Onyia is pushing for Science and Math Olympiad in the Southeast, and has taken those kids abroad. Alex is now the tribal bigot.
Hypocritical idiots.
"The only thing a man is looking for in a relationship or marriage is respect. Trust me, it's not intimacy, food, or several other things. Especially African women—that's why Indian and Pakistani women do better than us. You'll see them earning $200,000 while their husbands have no jobs, and they will still buy cars for their husbands with the utmost respect. But with African women, once they make money, the first person they disrespect is their husband."

This entire state of affairs is overwhelmingly the fault of Nigerian men, who have unfairly stigmatised Nigerian women with their fraudulent and criminal behaviour
Think of all the honest hardworking Nigerian women who would’ve had international remote work if not for Yahoo Boys
"My wife didn't look anything like the spec I created in my head. It was what she was saying, her thoughts, and most importantly, her heart for people. She was peace for me."

Ewoooooo ooo! They marry peace of mind but step out of their marriage to have fun & enjoy life with their spec 💀 (not referring to him specifically, just speaking generally)!
