I was in Zamfara for the first time in 2017, and it genuinely made me question reality. I saw poverty at a level I hadn’t known existed. It was unsettling to see hopelessness in the eyes of children. Keep in mind, this was before the terrorism and banditry plaguing the state.
My friend Victor Daniel on his Facebook dropped some very very insightful comments responding to this very tweet I’m quoting on seyi tinubu and most Nigerian rich elites that I just have to share.
Bottom line is, this people see but literally do not understand in any way,the plights of the average Nigerian…

The interview is not funny at all. There’s no cruise to be caught. Let’s not turn this into crass jokes or memes, look at the representation of Nigeria to the world!
Till today, I've never lived in a neighborhood that celebrated anything the way Abacha's demise was celebrated. I was a kid, but I still remember the shouts and celebrations.
RIP legend! Man made every minute of those 91 years count.

I have been laughing at the clowns trying to humiliate someone for buying a house on mortgage because they are ignorant AF!!
A small story, when my best man got to the UK, he needed a car and he decided to buy a Mercedes for £8k cash and was proud of himself. He later regretted

Mortgage or no Mortgage, this home is owned by Kenny and Wife
On his balance sheet, he will put "Home" on asset side and "mortgage" on liability side. (i assume its a mortgage)
If the home value appreciates, that appreciation or "equity" is owned by Kenny 100%. In fact, Kenny can borrow against this appreciation in the value of this home and buy a home in Nigeria. (Home Equity LOC)
Kenny must live somewhere abi?, so either he pays rent or he pays mortgage, in this regard, i assume he is paying a mortgage, has potential equity, has an asset, and the liability is "no recourse" meaning if he decides not to pay, he walks away, keeps all his other assets
Home ownership is not for everyone, but if God has blessed you with the earning ability to finance a home mortgage, and own a home you can live in and earn "equity", take it.
Remember, mortgage gives an option to lock in rates for up to 30 years, but rent can rise tomorrow, still do a proper rent v mortgage calculation.
Great job Kenny, regards to family
2024, God gave me and my wife a house in the UK.
Not rented, a house we can call our home right in the city of Manchester.
For a boy like me from a small village in Ekiti, this is massive, and I'm just in tears.
All these were just dreams 4 years ago when I got into this country.
For everyone seeing this,may God grant your heart desires and answer your silent prayers in Jesus name 🙏

Actually no one. The saying goes thus;

Beauty with brains they say 😏
