If you are still keen on leaving Nigeria, please don’t give up. Keep trying. I left at 30, and I could never have imagined that this is what truly living could feel like. My perspective to life has become so elevated. So, keep trying. Apply for as many scholarships as possible while continuing to build your life and career in Nigeria. Stay competent because that will follow you everywhere you go. It is never too late to experience a meaningful life in a society where things work, where you can breathe, thrive, and enjoy a little more peace of mind: all in this one lifetime of yours. And even if life eventually takes you back to Nigeria, at least you would have given yourself the opportunity to experience something different. Also, if you observe well, you will see that majority of those who build lasting establishments in the country are well exposed. My point is you don’t have anything to lose in the end. Keep going. Your dreams are still valid, irrespective of your age or the circumstances of your birth. And you deserve to experience the possibilities of this one life, too.

if you’ve been humbled by process or even effort, you tend to have fewer opinions, and you voice them even less
a lot of people speak with the kind of confidence you can only get by never having done or having to do the work

Watched “Blood Diamond” again and wow! How did Hollywood go from this to “wakandizing” every movie set in Africa?

Obama campaigned for the midterms like he was running for presidency all over again! That man is a generational treasure.

All of these “firsts” are a reminder that we still have a long way to go as far as diversity and inclusion is concerned. A win💙

In the last 3 months, I have bought at least 4 fake products of everyday household necessities, not from roadside stalls, but from supermarkets. That should worry all of us. This isn't only a supermarket problem, it happens in pharmacies, open markets, and online too, they all have an obligation to sell genuine products and goods. It is a criminal offence to sell fake products in Nigeria. So wherever you bought it, if you've recently bought a fake or substandard product, please don't let it slide. Do not leave it to God. You can directly report to NAFDAC and FCCPC, or other relevant agencies. If you cannot report it yourself, Lawyers for Civil Liberties (LACIVLER Development FOUNDATION) will submit such petition on your behalf. Fill the below: docs.google.com/forms/d/1ocw…

Nigeria ranks near the bottom on download speed (111th out of 119 countries) with a median real-world download speed of just 5.3 Mbps. Globally, the median internet speed sits around 34 Mbps to 40+ Mbps, while standard 4G/5G mobile connections in developed tech markets easily average 100 Mbps to 200+ Mbps. A worker in the UK or France spends less than 1% of their monthly income for unlimited usage. In contrast, an average worker in Nigeria who spends ₦10,000–₦15,000 a month on data is giving up 10% to 20%+ of their monthly earnings.
