@DavidHundeyin No, I have not. However, I have read that Israel does have a universal health care coverage and other social safety nets. In general, many countries are more expensive to live in for migrants than for citizens. So if you're nt an Israeli, your experience will be different

@DavidHundeyin Absolutely. I have been thinking of writing about Nigeria as possibly the most expensive country to live in right now in the whole world

If I wanted to maintain my current standard of living, but in Nigeria, it would cost too much to be realistic. Nigerian prices are way too expensive in USD terms despite having such a devalued currency, and I don't understand how everyone is quiet. That country is stupidly expensive for no reason at all🤷🏾

@afrisagacity Nigerian leaders can't stand tough questions from journalists, and most journalists lack the ability and courage to ask tough questions anyway. And as this interview shows, Trump doesn't like tough questions either. Let's be careful how we romanticise other countries

This was the heated interview between President Donald Trump and NBC News’ Kristen Welker. Now, as a Nigerian, imagine for a second, that this interview was held in Nigeria, and it was Tinubu sitting as the guest. What do you think would have been the fate of the interviewer?✍️

@afrisagacity Nothing will happen to the journalist. I get your point, but the problem is not so much about press freedom. It is whether the journalist has the knowledge and the courage to ask tough questions or whether Tinubu will do a sit-down with a journalist who can ask tough questions

@OpeBee Actually, there are only about five senators in Nigeria today. Oshimhole is one of them. What he said does not have to be done, but saying it is an important signal. And yes, you can keep your holder than thou posture since maiming of Nigerians in SA is not extreme to you.

@ChidiOdinkalu What's wrong with it? This is evidence that you can't divorce law from culture and history. Even Lugard knew that. This is actually what a 'court' looks like in our cultural and historical context. And it's still useful for certain kinds of cases. What's not to like here?

For all those years that IPOB VIOLENTLY locked down the entire AlaIgbo including Onitsha main market, those traders never protested even for a day but the moment governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo locked down the market in an attempt to get the traders to stop being a WILLING TOOL in the continued economic sabotage of AlaIgbo and Ndigbo, they suddenly remembered they can protest to the govt house today. Who really is fooling who? A Monday sit-at-home that was initiated by IPOB and has been enforced and sustained with the blood of innocent Igbos too numerous to mention, is the same sit-at-home some of you are arguing that govt should allow you to now use as a day of rest??? You people are psychologically damaged! This is like arguing to be allowed to marry your rapist because you have now gotten used to them. A sick argument borne out of something far more devious and worse than Stockholm Syndrome. The truth is, the IPOB-induced homegrown terrorism in AlaIgbo, be it the sit-at-home or the terrorists rendering some communities desolate for 5 years, would never have been possible without the ACTIVE COMPLICITY of some of our people. My joy is that the Soludo I know is a very decisive and resolute man who doesn’t listen to side talk when he wants to do something he knows is the right thing to do. When he moved against ‘Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki’ the young native doctor who almost completely destroyed the very ethos of our race and in my view, contributed significantly to the rise in crime in the state with his practice of encouraging young men to come to him for instant juju-induced wealth without any enterprise, the governor vehemently resisted every attempt to blackmail him into releasing the so called native doctor. Even when he went to Oba, the hometown of the young man, for election campaign and was ambushed by youths kneeling and begging for his release, Soludo stood his ground and insisted the law must run its full course. Most leaders would have caved in in exchange for vote. Today, we are seeing how the crackdown on Akwa and his gang has drastically reduced crime in the state Now that IPOB - a group that ought to hide its face in shame for creating the fertile ground for the worst level of crime in AlaIgbo - has supposedly countered the governor’s instructions by asking the traders to open shop, we await whose instructions the traders would heed. I have also read a statement issued by Dr Law Mefor, the state information commissioner. In the end, despite the initial garagara and resistance from those who want to keep Alaigbo at the mercy of terrorists, Mondays in Anambra and indeed all parts of Alaigbo must be reclaimed and I, Charles Ogbu, will ALWAYS support any govt willing to do this. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah faced this type of resistance. At some point, the terrorists even went personal by setting a filling station linked to him ablaze but he never gave up and today, Enugwu is better for it as every public place from schools to banks, filling stations to markets etc all open on Monday. Soludo, please go harder. But while at it, ensure you provide more security for those willing to help end this mvdness. Ist picture is Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer. 2nd screenshot is Chinasa Nworu, an IPOB military commander. 3rd one is a statement from IPOB. I attached them just so you know which side you are supporting with your argument of allowing Monday to continue to be held captive by terrorists and their sympathizers. Charles Ogbu

@afrisagacity Unintentional mistake from the Nigerian woman. But the Olu was not wrong either. The King of England rarely shakes hands with British subjects, including even Prime Ministers. But he would shake hands with foreign leaders. It's the same here

Frame 1: A female Nigerian was barred from shaking hands with Olu of Warri (or whatever they call him). Frame 2: the same Olu of Warri is pictured happily and warmly shaking hands with a white woman, and sheepishly smiling. Something is fundamentally wrong with Africans.

@Mbille_eth @StatiSense @grok You can be so unintelligent sometimes, @grok. You're shamefully cherry-picking sources for Nigeria's population figures. Check multiple and more reliable sources and tell us what you find, rather than follow the post to quote unknown sources like Open Doors

@StatiSense Your population figures are wrong. Plus, Muslim pilgrimage is mandatory for those able, which is not the case for Christians. But if the argument is for the federal and state governments to hands off all pilgrimages, then I'm in complete support. Govts spend too much on it.

#DidYouKnow that Nigeria was the leading African exporter of crude oil to the United States between January and August 2025, shipping 33.23 million barrels worth $2.57 billion? That’s more than half of all African crude oil exports to the United States during that period. Our strong trade ties create jobs and drive prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic. #TradeTuesday

Buhari Power minister is being prosecuted for corruption 😲 Buhari Aviation minister is being prosecuted for corruption🙆 Buhari minister of Justice is being prosecuted for corruption.... Buhari minister of labor is being prosecuted for corruption🤦 Buhari minister of humanitarian affair is being prosecuted for corruption.😎 Buhari central bank gov is being prosecuted for corruption... They are alleged to have stolen hundreds of billions of Naira... Tens of billions of Naira have been recovered from them... Hundreds of duplex have been seized from them.. Before 2031 the likes of Amaechi will be singing how they spent the billions of dollars they used in taking Railway to Niger republic.... Buhari was a man of integrity.... But integrity alone is not enough to stop corruption in Nigeria... ICPC confessed this week that over 80% of Nigerians in public and private life in Nigeria are corrupt.... It's a conservative figure.... I always peg it at 99% .. Everyone can't be in a jail.... Reforms are the only way..... Ending fuel Subsidy.... End FX Subsidies.... Reform and centralize tax collection... End electricity subsidy at least for the rich, industries and middle class.... Digitalization of the public service... Have transparency website where citizens can trace every Kobo spent by all govt agencies in decentralized websites... It won't end corruption but slow it..... Most Nigerians condemning corruption are in pains because they are not the looters... Tinubu has implemented 60% of the solutions I just highlighted.... I hope he complete the other 40% before 2031.... Nigeria is rising..... It is better to born a thief than to born a mumu - Urhobo Proverb... Proverbs are not for kids.... ©Onovughe Igwe
