I wasn’t going to let Nigeria take the back seat so I left my fears at home.
P.S I have never done this before.

I dont think this man has a shot at ever becoming president. No leadership charisma.

Evidence that your voice, or your pen can be a powerful anti oppression tool 👇🏽

My passport is currently with @FranceInNigeria . It has been there for nearly eight weeks. That wait will inspire an article about the France-Africa Summit set to happen in Nairobi. The piece will be written by my Nigerian passport. It will carry the views of the average African on yet another summit between a former colonial power and the continent it once owned. Our political leaders, and even we regular citizens, have a habit of letting certain elephants stay in the room unchallenged. My passport has been sending signals for days. I intend to be its voice. The elephant will get its due recognition. I have been grounded from traveling for so long, I can now hear the voices of inanimate objects, especially my Nigerian passport. PS: 8 weeks is 15 percent of the year.

“No, let us understand our differences. You are a Christian and an Easterner. I am a Muslim and a Northerner. By understanding our differences, we can build unity in our country. “ — Sir Ahmadu Bello, The Sardauna of Sokoto.
Denial helps no one. You are who you are. Others are who they are. A Hausa man will always be a Hausa man. No law can change that. A single law can change his nationality. Denying our diversity isn’t the same as advancing peaceful living. We must seek peace and justice amidst our diversity, not look to deny it.
An Estonian was Estonian when their country was called the USSR. They are still Estonian now their country is called Estonia.

You’re not Yoruba. You’re not Igbo. You’re not Hausa. YOU ARE NIGERIAN!!!!

I totally understand you but
Nigeria has a Space Program... and most people don’t even know how deep it goes.
From launching satellites to planning human spaceflight this thread will surprise you.
Nigeria runs its space missions through
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA). Established in 1999 and the goal was to put Nigeria on the global space map.
Nigeria built her first satellite NigeriaSat-1 (2003). Although built in the UK and launched from Russia.
But here’s the interesting part…NigeriaSat-1 wasn’t just for Nigeria. It joined the
Disaster Monitoring Constellation and helping monitor floods, wildfires, and disasters worldwide.
Nigeria is also a contributor to global space efforts.
Even despite challenges, Nigeria didn’t stop there.
More satellites followed:
NigeriaSat-2 (high-resolution imaging)
NigeriaSat-X (partly built by Nigerians )
NigComSat-1R (communications & internet)
Not everything went smoothly by the way
NigComSat-1 (2007) failed in orbit after about a year.
But instead of stopping we came back stronger.
In 2011, Nigeria launched NigComSat-1R, a replacement, better, improved system. That’s resilience most people don’t talk about.
Here’s something you may find wild though
Nigeria once planned to send an astronaut to space. Yes… a Nigerian in space.
(It didn’t happen but the ambition was REAL.)
So Nigeria is quietly using space tech daily:
Communication (TV, internet), Agriculture monitoring, Mapping & GPS, Urban planning, Security
You’re probably benefiting without realizing it.
Nigeria has satellites in space but doesn’t launch rockets (yet). Launches are done via Russia, China, etc.
Nigeria’s space story is just getting started.
And one day…
We might see 🇳🇬 launching rockets from its own soil. Maybe in our lifetime or not.

watching this reentry flight just further confirmed to me that we might never make it as a nation. no be curse.

Also, if you’re in Abuja, consider visiting NASRDA, located around Airport Road in Lugbe.
Visitations are allowed into the national museum and costs just ₦4,000. That gets you access to the national museum, a guided tour covering Nigeria’s space program history, models of our orbiting satellites, immersive VR experiences, interactive games, and a collection of fascinating artifacts.
Last time I was there, the lady at the receptionist was telling me about a sort of astronomy based python programming course that they offer, but I never followed up on it. So yeah, they’ve got so much to offer.
Please pay them a visit, I beg you in the name of Artemis II. Space exploration is a wonderful and humbling experience and there’s so much to learn and know.

📢 Open Letter to the X Team
Dear X Team,
I am writing this as a user who deeply values this platform and the freedom it gives people to express themselves across different languages and cultures.
Recently, many Hausa-speaking users have noticed a serious issue with the auto-translation system on X. Instead of accurately translating Hausa content, the system often distorts meanings, changes contexts, or produces translations that are far from what was originally written.
Hausa is a rich and widely spoken language across West Africa, but right now it is being misrepresented. This affects communication, culture, and how our voices are understood globally.
We respectfully ask the X team to:
Improve Hausa language training data
-Review translation accuracy
-Involve native Hausa speakers in testing
-Reduce misleading auto-translations
We are not against technology—we are for improvement. We only want fairness in how our language is represented.
Hausa users deserve to be understood correctly, not misinterpreted.
RT until this reaches the X team. Hausa deserves better translation accuracy.
#FixHausaTranslation

It’s a shame some people are mocking dead soldiers who died fighting ISWAP in Borno. That's so low. Those men died so you can tweet in peace. Show respect or stay silent. God bless our gallant troops.
