"It somehow feels impossible to give up on Nigeria. Even all the people who insist they’ve left for good seem to spend most of their time thinking and talking about the country they left behind. It’s like there’s no treatment that can permanently “cure” you of this our country."

"Abi o. Foolish ones. When they are to be married, they will wear Nigerian clothes and fashion. When they go to church in their 'abroad" they will tie gele, wear agbada. They will eat better eba and egusi, but Nigeria has done them evil. Nigeria is in your hearts silly, bless her."
@OluwakayodeKomo reacted:
"Most Nigerians want a good country but don't want to be good citizens."
@Enimez commented:
"Good citizens with 2 hours of power a day, fuel scarcity and exorbitant air fare without purchasing power. The ruling elite keep expecting 'model citizens' after running this country to the ground."
