The way I hate seeing people insinuate that because someone is not in the country they can’t contribute speak on happenings in the country because “you’re in Canada/USA/China egging people on” 🤦🏽‍♂️
The thing dey scatter my bodi.
So we can’t have a position, but na you carry Trump..

For head. You wey nor get passport sabi all the names of the American senators and even get favorites to win in American elections?
Do y’all know how many of us are passionate about the country because we want to be able to have a locus standi & proud of our own home nations?

When Trump was creating harsh immigration policies, I met people that had sleepless nights because they didn’t want to have to get deported. Some considered slipping into Canada, illegal marriages etc JUST so they can live subserviently here instead of living as Kings in Nigeria.

Many of us have friends, family, and loved ones back home.. we can’t whisk everyone over here in a fell swoop and no matter how much we send home it won’t do much good in a broken environment where sanctity of life is a myth.
You say “you’re abroad so you should come back & lead.

..the charge if you’re serious”. And you think the only way to support a movement is physically? Much of the financial contributions to the #EndSARS protests were abroad remittances in cash & bitcoins.
They came after that source by banning cash & bitcoins, & we’re suffering it

Even more than y’all home because to conveniently send money back home to our loved ones na serious war.. so it’s not only y’all that bear the consequences. I, for one, know how much I contributed in support of the protests which saved lives and provided food on ground.

So don’t give me that nonsense.. don’t act like those in diaspora don’t have a crucial role to play in every movement.
We saw Nigerians all over the world demonstrate & create international awareness on SARS oppression; that’s not trivial.
Don’t be stupid abeg.

A lot of people subtly hint it to me & I ignore or retort with light sarcasm, but not anymore.
If you come at me with that I will honestly insult you and your family, go as low as possible and block you since you want to be deliberately idiotic.
