    Can't get it out of my head that Europe cried about a 'migrant crisis' in 2015 against 1.4m refugees fleeing war in Syria and yet quickly absorbed some 2m Ukrainians within days, complete with flags and piano music. Europe never had a migrant crisis. It has a racism crisis.

    Ever since I was a child in a Pentecostal church, the Holy Ghost has always - always - skipped the official videographer.

    This is the end of the road for Tinubu dynasty. Anyone in Lagos who ever votes again for a Tinubu candidate will never know peace or prosperity in their lives.

    Davido is not leading. He is participating. #EndSARS has no leader and you cannot shape the narrative to create one.

    White people under apartheid didnโ€™t think they were racist either.
    I repeat, South Africans ARE NOT Xenophobic. And I stand by that.

    Obi ran on a Christian-Muslim ticket. Tinubu ran on a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Obi ran a campaign for Nigerian youths. Tinubu ran a campaign for Yoruba people. Obi said go and verify his merit. Tinubu said it was his own turn. Obi never baited any ethnicity. Tinubu baited Igbos.
    Obiโ€™s candidacy came with so much division & hateโ€ฆtribal division, religious division even family and friends have been divided all for this cause. Isnโ€™t this enough for these so-called โ€œProphets of Baalโ€ to understand that God was never having it with this dude?

    What she said. I have spent a decade plus studying anti-gay laws in Africa and I can tell you the Ghana version is even CRAZIER than all the others. I mean, over-the-top, paranoia induced, way out of line, extremely batshit crazy. Let me do a list of the top hits.
    Anti-LGBTQ Bill: Samia Nkrumah - daughter of Kwame Nkrumah, first President of Ghana - is urging President Akufo-Addo @NAkufoAddo not to assent to the "brutal, harsh, unjust law." In an interview with @Graphicgh, she said "we don't need it" as we need to protect eachother.

    My people in Pretoria have headed out to the Nigerian Embassy to amplify the protests. International synergy. #EndSARSProtest

    I don't begrudge Ukrainians their welcome and I am quite happy for those who have found relief. But Europeans have to learn how to extend a humane response to everyone and not just people who look like them.

    I think Nigerians, regardless of their political leanings, should sit down for a second and just appreciate the fact that Peter Obi is drawing huge crowds who all know he doesnโ€™t have bags of cash waiting to distribute to them later. Think of what that means and let it sink in.

    Tinubuโ€™s thugs in another location at Fadeyi, Lagos interfering with the election process. For those who want this king of thugs to be president of Nigeria, your entire generation will never amount to anything beyond thuggery.

    Nobody celebrates Nigeria like people who live outside Nigeria. This isnโ€™t a shade. Itโ€™s just easier to reflect on the joys of being Nigerian - the art, the cultures, the life skills, the can-do drive, the good food - when you donโ€™t have to deal with its daily dysfunctions.

    This is the first time since 1999 that a candidate who lost a presidential election continued to work and publicly engage (over a year later), and not just disappear totally or just to show up four years later. His continuing engagement has forced the PDP to be a more

    The only thing Tinubu is looking for in Aso Rock is immunity. Heโ€™s not going there to help anyoneโ€™s life get better.
