Nigerian intellectual?

This notion demands first that one has
a) a natural gift of intellect
b) stays in the loop continuously (well informed via textual study)
c) integrity and honor

We have a surfeit of reactionary opportunists, brown-nosers, lickspittles.. Not intellectuals

Apparently, the BMC and Abiku are openly waging war on the Nigerian diaspora to the extent that they’re posting vile and contemptuous comments capable of tarnishing their image.

What is really going on? Is there a plan to completely destroy everything that makes the country run?

My community, Anambra West, a riparian zone (transitional semiterrestrial/semiaquatic area) surrounded by three mighty rivers - Niger, Omambala, and Ezichi - is the epicenter of the flood.

Pray, tell genius how do we go about mitigating the flood?

Osasu Obayiuwana Dr Joe Abah Kadaria Ahmed 🇳🇬 afalli.eth Thanks! I will also report that my people -Anam, Nzam, Ibaji (Anambra/Kogi) are still under water (5 weeks now) with ZERO govt help.
Gesare Chife is doing her best through the Foundation but her efforts have barely scratched the surface.
We need a state of flood emergency declaration

About 2m people, 25% of the population of Ireland, emigrated to the US in the wake of the Great Famine (1845-1852).

It took Ireland about a century to recover and thrive again as a nation.

In Ireland the driver was famine.
In Nigeria, bad governance

Those who Japa are victims

Wow! Swallow has gone to Harvard!
Can’t have that Afrobeat without shaki and ponmo

Sing with me:
🎶 “Well we're movin' on up
To the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin' on up…”

Like a malignant tumor, yes?

In-depth reporting of #NigeriaFloods . Literally. Tomorrow on CNN

The Null Hypothesis (H0).
You cannot measure without a reference point for comparison.

Show us the annual average rainfall data from 2013- 2021 (non-flood years) and the 2022 deviation from that variable’s mean that warrants this claim.

My people - Anam, Nzam, Ibaji (Anambra/Kogi) - have been sitting in deep water for weeks now without any help from the government you work for.

We’re desperate for help and anything we get- even a grain of rice - is good enough.

Now shut your trap and delete this idiotic tweet!

Ladies and gentlemen,
The Crusaders “Standing Tall”

Jazz at its finest

🎶
Arabic sounds a bit like spoken anger or a harsh throaty dry cough.

But it sounds melodious and poetic in songs by Lebanese artists - Fairuz, Magida El Roumi etc.
All you hear is a breathless “Haaabiibi!”

Here’s “Khaleek Hina”by the Algerian Warda Al-Jazairia
