There are fewer better proofs of the brain drain that Nigeria is facing than this chart by @StartArchiving. Almost 50% of the best brains from a particular year are not in the country. There is 24% unaccounted for o.

Is Uber subtly telling us they are no longer interested in doing business in Nigeria? Because the quality of these cars is simply unacceptable

Your brain is divided into two parts: the right and the left. On the right side, there is nothing left. On the left side, there is nothing right.

Doing pap smear is a breakup offense. Being okay with being penetrated by that thing is also a breakup offense.

I've been saying this for ages now. When the economy of Nigeria was booming in the 70s, Nigerians could travel visa free to the US and the UK. Fix your economy and the rest of the world will feel free to accommodate you.

African passports are weak because African economies are weak. Banning foreigners won't fix that. Building a country people actually want to visit will. “Reciprocity” sounds noble until you realize you’re punishing your own country to make a point nobody cares about. In

By federal law: 1. It is NOT ILLEGAL to be gay in Nigeria. 2. It is NOT ILLEGAL for gay people to gather in Nigeria. 3. Gay sex is not illegal in Nigeria. 4. What’s illegal in Nigeria is same sex marriage. BEING, LIVING, LOVING AS A GAY PERSON IS NOT A CRIME IN NIGERIA.

I’ve had a renewed resentment towards Naija’s past and present leaders since going on this trip. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, seeing another African nation excel and build such a functional system with far fewer natural resources than we have.
