Dear Nigerian youth, please see Nigeria beyond your nose. Travel. Read. Make friends outside your ethnic group. This is 2019 and with all the tools and opportunities available, you can't get stuck with assumptions built on myopic views of other regions of your country.
Some of the tweets I'm reading about tweeps' assumptions about other regions of Nigeria show worrying ignorance. Yes, parents told you certain things about "them" but now that you're old enough, why don't you educate yourself? Tuck in your ignorance, grab a book or book a trip.
If books and travel are too expensive, use some of the data you're spending on posting ignorant content wisely. Google is your friend. Stop tweeting for a bit and spend some minutes to read. Follow folks whose names don't sound like yours. Seeing beyond your nose is an asset!
Except you plan to remain a local champion all your life, you should be humble enough to learn more about other cultures. Today's biggest opportunities are not for bigots but for open-minded people who are rooted locally and also add value globally. Read. Travel. Connect.
