I’m going to pin this tweet for all the serious UN folks following me. I love it. Trust me, I love it. It feeds well into my need for validation. Problem is, I don’t always tweet UN. I mostly rant about Nigeria and how it is showing me shege. Ask me what shege means 😀

The wait is over. The cover of our next issue is a commanding illustration of Ladi Kwali: a cultural icon and one of the most consequential artists in Nigeria's history.

@RealBanjo Actually you do. Kenyans are definitely free to demand their govt retaliate against the US and Nigeria. That's their prerogative.

Kenya is visa-free for US citizens and it isn’t reciprocal. The US charges some of the highest visa fees in the world, and sets its own exchange rate regardless of the official rate in your country. You don’t go around demanding your government impose reciprocal fee. Rest, abeg!

The Schengen visa situation in Nigeria is even worse. You couldn’t pay in Naira (hopefully this has changed) In your own country, you cannot pay for a service in your currency. Everyone comes to Nigeria and does as they please. Nigerians go abroad and get treated like pcs of crap

If I’m treated like a criminal in Kenya, what’s a little $80 visa fee that you’re yapping about. I’d rather you make me pay a fee and treat me like a decent human being. Please, rest!

I’ve come to accept that treatment from everywhere else— even in North Africa— but to experience similar treatment anywhere else in Africa makes my skin boil. So yes, don’t demand what your country can’t give.

It was so jarring and humiliating to experience that on the continent. I’ve been to Kenya twice and every time, I see Westerners get better treatment. I was pulled aside, my passport was taken and scrutinized like I was some criminal while everyone else was waved past.

What happened to Daniel on Head-to-Head is what Nigeria does to its intellectuals. He put his morality on hold when he, in his words, “changed his mind” to support a corrupt politician. Daniel, with all his eloquence, made a mockery of his education on a global stage.

"I made a choice to leave the President after the Muslim Muslim ticket, but I came back seeing that he meant well for the Christian minorities in the North. I am a human being and can change my opinion on things the same way Mehdi Hassan has worked with the BBC, left for the SkyNews, went to MSNBC, and then now in Aljazeera." – Presidential Spokesperson, @BwalaDaniel on Head2Head with @mehdirhasan

Went to Paterson today and cash is the only way you get on the bus. Feels good to be reminded what public transportation looks like in Lagos. Maybe there’s a place where I get to see “conductors” and “agberos” collecting “owo omo onile.”

Dear news media, Starting a war claiming a fake “imminent” threat is not normal. Bombing elementary schools is not normal. Carpet bombing a city of 10 million people is not normal. The words you’re looking for are illegal, war crimes, massacre, belligerent, international law…stop normalizing it. Your job is to tell the truth, otherwise you’re propagandists, not journalists.
