I believe this infantilization and the belief that certain groups of people do not have any form of agency (and do not bear any responsibility) is also in itself a form of racism.

Nigerian politics is incredibly fascinating (for lack of a better word).
No matter how intellectual, cerebral or effective you may be as a policy maker, technocrat or politician, you stand no chance of winning an election if you do not indulge in certain political manoeuvres…

A TikTok video or a tweet on X/Twitter isn't sufficient enough to "diagnose" you for any condition you suspect.
See a specialist.

1979 was 45 years ago and so much has changed since then.
Nigerian tertiary institutions now pump out >600,000 graduates every year into a market where the unemployment + underemployment rate is ~34%.
The only way to have a chance of surviving the market is to hedge your…
I disagree. I graduated with a Second Class Lower degree. BSc Honours, Biochemistry, class of 1979, Great UniBen. I did just fine in life. And coming from peasant stock, I had zero connections. I turned out okay. It is just a degree. It is what you put into it that matters.

, I really do hope you do a bit of soul-searching and apologize for spearheading a wild and inane conspiracy theory against a woman who has now been revealed to be battling cancer.

Astrology is not a "science".
Science has non-opaque and open definitions and methods, criteria which astrology does not meet.
While astrology is valid for people who practice it and believe in it, it's simply inaccurate and untruthful to characterize it as "science".
Astrology is an ancient science and not a religious belief system.
There’s proof that the moon makes the ocean’s tides move. Our bodies are 70% water. Do the math.
The Sun (and other elements)control the weather. People get depressed when they don’t get enough sun

Just to reiterate, while Tinubu may probably end up being a terrible president, our most immediate challenges are due to the god-awful policies from 8 years of the Buhari administration.
There is simply no "reset button" that can make it all go away.
Interviewer: Your cabinet members were corrupt
Buhari: Nigerians should’ve fought corruption, it’s not my business, it’s their business

As a community, we Nigerians need to stop calling it "Yahoo" and start calling it internet fraud.

Thank you!
I write to tell you that
in Ondo,
a boy embraced the softness of another boy
and men, carrying the name of god on
their lips rushed to kiss him
with kisses of fire.
They said his body looked like sin,
they said
fire purifies everything.

For the next election, I hope Nigerians can build a system where electorates can upload polling booth results from their phones in real time.
We now know that we cannot trust INEC to deliver a credible election for us, we have to do this ourselves.

Mohbad was pretty unfortunate (familywise).
I saw the interview with his dad yesterday and it made me sad how intensely poverty can break people's spirits.
For the past few days now,have being deliberating on what to do while for the authorities of the Nigerian police of atleast get one or people involved in maltreatment nd malicious act towards Mohbad
Since he died his spirit have not left me saying a lot of things in my head…

This treatment was started in the 3rd week of disease progression.
Once again, previous papers (and anecdotals) have shown us that HCQ is very effective before px's immune system gets overwhelmed with the virus.
Why are studies still focused on its use in severely ill px?
