I was not going to tweet this especially because of everything happening right now! But this European first time vistor whose flight is landing at night reachout to me because some fraudster is who offered to show her around for free is scaring her with stupid stories to gain
Her trust as a protector in „dangerous“ Lagos; offering to pick her from the airport and show her around for two days for €300! So i told her Lagos is as safe as most cities in the world and the guy was grooming to scam her, so she tells him what I said and this idiot had
The audacity to send me threats. But when you look at how Nigeria is from @nigimmigration visa processes and which claims to run visa on arrival but frustrates travellers; forcing them to approach NIS officers who add $65 and above to official fees of $100 first time travelers
Are often left without a choice! One immigration officer without the fear of God asked me to give him 80,000 to process a visa that cost 36,000! What is wrong with us in this country? I tried applying for this visa for days, at point of payment the process is aborted Just look at this
The add the criminal ATM charges Nigerians banks are charging on foreign card withdrawals, then you know that all government agencies in Nigeria are CRIMINALS and fraudsters @StateDept is persecuting is a reflection of the majority of us! We must acknowledge our issues
This week, @Zenithbank charged us 1,400 per 15,000 withdrawal while @gtbank and @StanbicIBTC charged us 1,000 per 15,000 and none allowed us withdraw more than 15,000 at a go! First of all why polarized rates? Chief CRIMINAL Emefiele of @cenbank robbing Nigerians for Zenith
Then Zenithbank will come out and declare that profit they make through CRIMINAL banking!

Its been two days and I am still being roasted for my tweet on African America culture. I am not insensitive of their plight nor am I ignorant. Yes there is racism in America grevious things done against them but can I be allowed to use my brain alternatively in a free world?
Sometimes, I feel that maybe not all painful history should be taught so much; it can be crippling and aid the already systemic racism to keep crippling the Black American. There is a reason the average African American feels their govt specially owes them something
There is a reason why they mostly said Obama did nothing for black people; Obama was the President of America, not President of Black people. Bringing it home to my own reality as a minority Nigerian; if we were taught in details our dark history

For long, foreign aid and development projects have treated Nigeria like only the north matters; this is why northern governors are heavily irresponsible! In the last five years, Buhari has heavily influenced the World Bank, UNICEF and even WaterAid to keep projects in the North
Such interventions has NOT made any difference in the disaster that Northern Nigeria is! Rather, this region is creating problems for the rest of Nigeria! The new class of vulnerable people in Nigeria are the insecurity and humanitarian crisis displaced persons from the north
It is this group that are now the most susceptible to illegal #immigration cartel. In the last two weeks, I have heard numerous stories of young people pushed by hopelessness to look for money to go to Europe or Libya for work!

Against better judgement, I donated 25,000 of money to Buhari campaign in 2015! I was STUPID to vote for this nonesense in 2015, I have been done with the Buhari since 2016,Nigeria has no President! I even wrote about his victory, why is he against now? rebeccaidd.wordpress.com/2015/04/02/why…
In 2014/2015, @MBuhari and @elrufai commended us for stand up against Goodluck Jonathan, used us to make noise and push for a #RevolutionProtest Buhari even led protest in Abuja, today, Buhari is locking us up for saying we dont want again! Is Buhari not a TYRANT?
Democracy doesnt work against when it does not favor @MBuhari ? Tinubu, @elrufai and other propagandist called for revolution in 2012/12/14/15 suddenly it is no longer a good cause! Nigeria will DEFEAT you! Nigeria REJECTS TYRANNY #RevolutionIsNow #FreeSoworeNow #FreeDadiyataNow

If Buhari is trying his best for Nigeria why should his children live in penthouses in Knightsbridge?
If El-Rufai has no option for his kids than Nigeria, he won’t be making crazy comments to incite violence because his children can run to Washington DC!
We must all live here
The killings of the prominment south west leaders daughter by herdsmen is the first notice that soon the violence and ruthlessness of Nigerian government will affect all of us equally!
No their kids cannot run away to America, their lives are not more important than #LeahSharibu
The live of @MBuhari kids&kids of Akpabio, Ameachi, El-Rufai is not more important than thousands of Nigerians killed daily by Fulani herdsmen whom government are protecting and Boko Haram! Their kids must live here too @realDonaldTrump @USEmbassyAbuja @UKinNigeria @DKambNigeria

Thank you @USEmbassyAbuja for honoring our petitions!
Nigerian politicans cannot destroy our country for our generation while their own children have the option to live better lives in your countries! THANK YOU! I wish @UKinNigeria @GermanyDiplo @DKambNigeria follow suit
Nigerian politician cannot destroy our Nigeria, we suffer consequences while their kids are exempt! Thank you President @realDonaldTrump my research on #BrainMigration for @GDNint conference links growing sense of hopelessness as a critcal causal factor fueling illegal migration
If ruthless govt are desyroying Nigeria, their own children must stay and enjoy the dividends of ruthlessness, this is important because, maybe shared frustration will force revolution that Nigeria needs! @realDonaldTrump @USEmbassyAbuja @UKinNigeria @DKambNigeria @GermanyDiplo
