A 26 year old Nigerian?
Who TF said Nigerians are empty and without future?
Nigerians are creative, intelligent, focused and ... It's just that there's no light without darkness. Even Americans have bad eggs but they cover up with other things and the world don't view their bad side.
But African's ehnn! They use our bad side to generalise. In fact God punish every racist! Amen

Meanwhile I'm the FTC ouchere!

Dammmm !!!!!, whaooohhh!!!, this is a great feat at that age , boy!!!
Keep representing in Diaspora, your talent would have been DEAD if you were in Naija.

one thing I know is if he was a Nigerian in Nigeria, he can't achieve this feat. by now, the first thing that should be in everybody's head is how to leave the country and comeback to contest for a senatorial seat.

If he comes to Nigeria now, Sars would hold him. They'd call him a yahoo boy. See his hair.....



Why was I born in this country?

If he was in Nigeria and asked what the secret to his achievements were he would have said it's God

Africans with there fake ass religiousness
