@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
English

@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
English

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
English

@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.
English

Extreme views like this is why I fear an Oshiomole Senate presidency and I don’t think it will materialize.

@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?

@Faridatu001 Lol. He's made millions of dollars out of this already

@haneefa_kagara I'm proud of you for this. Please keep it up

@Eyeofnigeria @jayteeofnaija @HighChiefOkoro @salawueedris1 @SAsekome @sarki_sadiiq @Talk2Dennison @woye1 @Bayo_Bilisi Chai. All this long story, all the way from Ekiti to Onitsa? Lol

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.

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.

@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

@elonmusk Lol, Elon. You sound like a Nigerian. For a supposed genius, this is third-world mentality

Literally zero Republicans in 30 Yale departments when half the country is Republican is truly outrageous bigotry!

@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

MUSLIMS DOMINATE PILGRIMAGE SPENDING IN NIGERIA
Amount Spent on Hajj (10 years) — ₦1.46 trillion
Total Pilgrimage Spending (10 years) — ₦2 trillion
Population:
🇳🇬Christians — 106.61 million
🇳🇬Muslims — 105.32 million
Christians and Muslims are almost equal in number. Yet, over the past decade, 7× more Muslims went on pilgrimage, With Hajj alone accounting for 73% of all pilgrimage spending.
#Statisense
(Open Doors 2024, The Africa Report 2025)
English

@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.

@Teeniiola We should all be thinking of how to raise the 1M back to this family. This is the pain of motherhood and it's universal
