A lot of our so called activist are nothing but vultures who feed on the same decay and maladministration they came to fight. A dysfunctional system gives them relevance. – at Ikeja, Nigeria

The audacity to hate on someone for trying to make life more comfortable and encouraging others to prioritise their productivity and comfort. All while choosing to study abroad. At least be consistent. The Nigerian education system was here when you made that choice. How many people hated you for doing something that just made sense..Or does that mean you sold out on bad state of education in Nigeria? I live and work in Nigeria. I contribute to the economy, from STEM education to financial technology, I pay my taxes, and have actively advocated and protested for a better Nigeria. I am here, doing my part to make this country better. This is particularly disappointing coming from you, Rinu. I genuinely thought you were above the performative outrage merchants who ride waves of public discontent to build personal relevance. Nigeria doesn't even rank among the world's top 50 solar energy users. Yet, many of the countries dominating that list have some of the most stable electricity grids in the world. People there still choose energy independence for convenience, resilience and productivity. Do you hate them too? Perhaps the problem isn't really about concern for Nigerians. Perhaps outrage has simply become another tool for performing concern and harvesting public anger for personal relevance. I have been consistent about this since 2016. I know how many people I have helped transition to solar, how many businesses I have advised at absolutely no cost, the number of free installations I have facilitated, and the countless hours of free consultations I have given. Hate me all you want. I will continue to advocate for renewable energy as a practical alternative to an unreliable grid, while equally pushing for and supporting efforts towards a better national electricity grid. – at Ikeja, Nigeria
