You are not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor should you feel the world must live up to yours

I told my daughter to go to bed. She did not therefore, she missed out on her sleep over. She cried. But what she did not know is I cried harder. I hate when she cries. 💔 Discipline sucks. But sometimes it’s important.

@MobilePunch OAU denying Peter Obi a venue says everything. This man is not a threat to a university — he's a threat to a political arrangement. Of course it's happening in the Southwest. You don't block someone you're not afraid of. 2027 is closer than they think. 🇳🇬 #PeterObi

@DavidHundeyin Nigeria funded the liberation of this continent and somehow we're not leading it. Make that make sense. The investment was real. The ingratitude is real. But so is the comeback.
English
This is emotional talk.
We didn't fund African liberation movements out of an emotional sense of African solidarity - it was necessity. We needed to help decolonise the continent in order to be able to become a stronger country with more diplomatic leverage.
No matter how bad our situation is now, can you imagine if we were part of an AU or AfDB with fellow member states called "Rhodesia" and "South Central Africa" which are ruled by white people?
The worst we can get from modern African states is casual disrespect, which doesn't kill. If we were still a 3 hour flight away from countries with access to modern technology where black people are not allowed to run for president, Boko Haram would be child's play compared to what we would be facing.
Funding African independence movements was a pragmatic move that was in our own self interest, the same way that the premise for the wider Pan-African project is not that people from Mozambique or Kenya are supposed to love or respect Nigerians - it's that the cold, hard mathematics of our situation demand that if we want to survive in a world ruled by ruthless people whose ground freezes solid for 6 months every year, we have to work together and aggregate our competitive advantages into a continental civilisation that cannot be destroyed.
That's literally all that Pan-Africanism is - it's just basic math and common sense.
Emotions have nothing to do with it.

Nigeria actually lived out that Pan-African ethos, and what do we get for it today? Contempt and disrespect from many African countries, whose ordinary citizens and even some leaders won’t stop making fun of Nigeria in their speeches. This is why I think diplomatic unity in Africa suffers; it is often not reciprocated, and sometimes the country you helped today may insult you tomorrow or even tolerate xenophobic attacks against your people. I haven’t heard much disrespect from Angola, but look at South Africa. How much did we send there when they were most vulnerable? Millions of dollars. Even Namibia, do they know how much we supported SWAPO in its struggle against apartheid-era South African occupation? We literally helped save Sierra Leone and Liberia with the blood of our soldiers, even if those interventions had some rough edges. Ghana too, how many cash endowments did we send over there? Now it feels like every African country wants to open its mouth and slander Nigeria, as if we didn’t support many of them against all odds, even at the expense of our own domestic needs, which is where I think we went wrong. You take care of home first before giving away resources.

@Xivalavuli @pallnandi Tell me you are from south Africa without telling me you are south African. 😂
English
@pallnandi As long as other African countries have tribal and religious wars , I would never agree to this .. as long as they are okay with a president who ruled their country for 50 years , I would never agree with this statement

@Dzungie007 So if Black Africans leave your country SA will be 100% drug free? And your Lazy youths will be employed? And your women will stop prostitution ?

Apartheid didn't fall because a handful of South Africans ran to Nigeria. It fell because millions stayed and fought backed by global pressure, sanctions, and decades of internal resistance.

@yabaleftonline I will spend 3 days on the queue to buy fuel at 200 naira
English
"Nigeria has been a producer of oil for all the years that we know. Yet when you go to Nigeria, there were queues of people looking for fuel at petrol stations for a long time until one African stepped forward and built a refinery, Aliko Dangote. The solution wasn't in Europe, it wasn’t in Asia. The solution was in Nigeria."

Do you know anyone who’s currently in China and will be returning to Nigeria within the next three days ? 🚨
