5,000MW in 57 years of independence. Please how do you define that country?

Love that you’re quite vocal on the issue of trains. I hope to see the same level of energy dissipated in tackling the killings by herdsmen in Southern Kaduna and the recurrent harassment of the Shiites. Actual people, you know. twitter.com/elrufai/status…

It's a good year when I succeed in living my teenage dream of making a decent livelihood through writing prose (without selling my critic's soul). So 2017 has been great. Here's a thread of some of my pieces that might reward a first reading or a re-reading:

Beyond the tragedy of appointing dead people into Boards, a bigger problem is that Nigeria has & keeps funding too many Government Agencies/Parastatals most of which are irrelevant & whose duties aren't clearly defined. Can we prune, merge and save our Nation some Resources?

Nigerians don't have concerts. Nobody can really sing live. So we have parties. #WizkidTheConcert

When GEJ was President and Fuel was available at N87, Rice at N7,500, Dollar @ N198 etc...he went round to Markets & BRT Buses to campaign against GEJ. Today he is VP, we are buying Fuel at over N200/L, while he is at home wearing Christmas cap and shinning teeth with his wife.

This #fuelscarcity video really shouldn’t be funny, but 😂😂😂

Your MCM is trying to defend the fact that #OccupyNigeria was not politically motivated but has gone deaf and dumb at the plight of Nigerians caused by #fuelscarcity There was a country

What are your memories of #OccupyNigeria? Happened around 5 years ago, under somewhat similar circumstances. How can people who were unwilling to pay N120/l be so willing to meekly endure long queues for N250/l? They say it is "trust in Buhari", but "trust" in what exactly?

If #OccupyNigeria wasn't politically motivated, how come its most vocal proponents and organizers have kept remarkably silent in the face of pump price increases and a recession (in addition to almost 3 years of steady economic hardship)?

I find the arrest of Innocent Chukwuma truly troubling and demoralizing for Nigeria’s business environment. @innosonmotors is the only Nigerian car manufacturer. The job of government should be to do everything in its power, within the law, to promote them and build their morale.

If your talent could talk it will tell you to work harder. #TalentIsNotEnough

Malia Obama’s private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait. Be better.
