When I survey the wondrous cross
On which my the prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
More than 90% of the immigration out of Nigeria is because Nigeria is in a bad state. The driving factor for most political positions the immigrants take is still immigration.
It's expected. Why does it trigger some people?
LOL. But you can have political preferences and comment on it Abi?

Yes, I did and I am unapologetic about it. Ask him why he feels like he is the authority on peoples political preferences. This goes beyond what you see here. Why does he feel like people who wants to migrate outside nigeria should not have political preferences?
The irony is that you're proving his tweet. Lol
You didn't even look in the mirror or check your own immigration history before you made this tweet? 😅😅
If the people before you had shared the political beliefs you're championing now, you would be somewhere in Awka, dancing at a political rally, cheering for someone younger than you to earn your daily bread.
What kind of lack of self-awareness is this?
Look at... You lot are funny

Look at people doing immigration 'classism'. LOL

First of all, please stay out of matters you don’t have a clear picture of. You don’t know the circumstances of my marriage, my immigration history, or the nature of my relationship with this fellow, so perhaps you should stop making assumptions.
For the record, I have never lived illegally in any country, nor did I marry my wife for immigration papers. We knew each other for years before getting married, and we are both accomplished in our respective fields. I married my best friend, and we continue to enjoy our lives together.
Now, regarding this fellow you’re defending, my problem with him is his constant habit of talking down to others, particularly fellow Nigerians, and reducing their political preferences to a desperate quest for American visas. The irony is that he himself came to America seeking opportunities. His own immigration journey should inspire some humility, not this newfound sense of superiority.
He is entitled to his political opinions, but he is not entitled to ridicule others for pursuing opportunities similar to those he benefited from. You cannot spend your life seeking a place in American society and suddenly start carrying yourself as though you’re the grandson of George Washington.
And since you seem particularly concerned about our relationship, let me clarify something. He is not my friend. We met here on Twitter, I invited him to my wedding, he attended, and I genuinely appreciated his presence. That’s it. An invitation to my wedding was not an invitation to dictate my political opinions or purchase my lifelong loyalty.
If he chooses to play the victim because I challenge his political grandstanding, that’s entirely his business. I will not turn a blind eye to statements I consider extreme or to his dismissive attitude toward Black Americans and fellow Nigerians simply because we once shared a social occasion.
You can defend his political positions all you want, but don’t attempt to manufacture a personal obligation where none exists.
He attended my wedding, not my political inauguration. I owe him courtesy, not allegiance. 😂

As an Iranian woman who watched my country get ruined by Islamists, was bitten by the morality police, and saw my sisters and brothers die in the streets for protesting for freedom, I warn you Americans: don’t assume it can’t happen here.
Before 1979, many Iranians thought their relatively modern society was safe from a full Islamist takeover. They were wrong. After the revolution, Sharia became law. Women lost fundamental rights overnight. The legal marriage age for girls dropped to 9–13 (with guardian and court approval). Compulsory hijab was enforced and everyday freedoms vanished. Even something ordinary like Owning a pet dog became haram(forbidden), under the regime’s rules, dogs are ritually impure, and dog-walking is banned in many cities.
Many Iranians spent the rest of their lives under a system they never thought possible.
I tell you because I lived this, I watched this, I felt this.
Don’t make the same mistake of thinking “it can’t happen here.” The warning signs are visible, yet too many still refuse to see them.
Keeping destroying the hedges that give you the protection you enjoy today. One day, it'll be gone...
LoL. What is this? Are they doing it in the name of their religion?
I used to have debates on here with my guy. People just isolate the many Christian majority nations that are fucked up or have the same struggles. America and Europe are the only comp they use.
Latin America is very Christian. El Salvador before Bukele got there was not dealing with Muslim gangs lol
Those drug dealers in Colombia and Mexico go to church so are they any destructive? You people are unreal
How na.... All these comparisons...
I don't really know much about Akwa Ibom or Calabar , but let me speak on behalf of my Igbo people.
We Igbos don't really believe in buying cooked food. We prefer to prepare our own meals.
One reason I think the Yorubas have thrived more in the food business is that they are more accustomed to buying prepared food rather than always cooking at home.
Growing up, our Yoruba neighbours would give their children ₦20 every morning to buy food before going to school. Our parents, on the other hand, rarely did that. They made sure we had food prepared at home before leaving for school.
Years ago, if you opened a commercial food business in the East, you might struggle to make sales because people weren't accustomed to buying cooked food. Almost everyone prepared their own meals at home.
So, I think this difference in food culture is one of the reasons the Yorubas gained an advantage in the food business.
