When it comes to criticizing a government in power ANYWHERE in the Third World, I would classify myself as a certified chicken who would never DARE confront the Goliath, even in the hypothetical instance where security forces are openly slaughtering babies in the streets.

I don't know if they are excluded as we don't hear much about Nig and H1B...I think most companies are hiring engineers and scientists from India/Asia.

Anyway too much scam news may have spoilt Nigerians chance of such visas (H1b).
Or Nigerians in America ain't showing how well enough.

USA does need property buyers after all.

In the city of San Francisco, prices of mid-tier single-family houses in November have dropped by 15.4% from the peak in May 2022, to $1.39 million, seasonally adjusted, and are back where they’d first been in 2019. October and November were down a tad from the prior three months.

“Mid-tier” to reduce the effects of shifts in the mix; “seasonally adjusted” to reduce the effects of seasonality; and “smoothed” (three-month average) to reduce monthly zigzags, as per data from the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI).

In the city of San Francisco, prices of mid-tier condos, seasonally adjusted and as three-month average, have dropped by 14.7% from the peak in May 2022, to $986,000, and are back where they’d first been in 2015.

Jakumo:
Fela's open confrontation with the Nigerian government paved his path to destruction. He failed to realize that popularity does NOT equate with power, so he became open in his disapproval of what powerful men were doing in government positions.

It was only a matter of time before the fate of all dissidents against despotism in the Third World would befall Fela, when his house was burned down and his mother murdered right before his eyes by federal troops sent on a mission of comprehensive destruction that was intended to serve as a cautionary tale for all potential agitators.
As a cautionary tale for all potential agitators?

He was a teacher for me. Showed me to be bold and brave and strong. For they can only burn his house and not his spirit.

Fela Kuti lived at 12 Stanlake Road London W12 7HP when he came to study music at Trinity College in 1958.

https://maps.app./HrgxSkiQApvVFiA69

He married his first wife, Remilekun (Remi) Taylor in 1960, and had three children. In 1963, he moved back to the newly independent Federation of Nigeria and attempted to run for its first presidency.

In 1971 he returned to London to record his album Fela's London Scene at Abbey Road Studios, kicking off what many call the best period of his music.

In 1984, he was jailed for 20 months in Nigeria for his political views.

Facts show otherwise, Tinubu didn't win based on tribe or tribalism. He won 4 out of 6 geopolitical zones. He lost 2 states in his own geopolitical zone. This is clearly not a result based on tribalism except numbers lie.
Haba, Image. Of course Yoruba alone did not elect president. Some voted for him for religionism, its obvious, and some because they thought he would do good, though I can't but wonder why, and some didn't vote at all, across tribe, religion, region, village, local government state etc etc etc. Even in my own close family there's agbado and there's buda and even PDP.

Check my numbers. Let me know if lies.

And to think I read the opener and wanted to jump from where I am and down your throat and kick your ass all over Nairaland for loving my neighbours!

essentialone1:
That statement is inaccurate and perpetuates a harmful stereotype. The assumption that all terrorists are Muslims is a misconception that has been debunked by numerous studies and experts.

Terrorism is a complex phenomenon that cannot be attributed to a single religion, ethnicity, or ideology. People from various backgrounds and faiths have been responsible for terrorist acts throughout history.

According to a study by the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database, between 2002 and 2018, only about 28% of terrorist attacks worldwide were carried out by groups affiliated with or inspired by Islamic extremism.

It's essential to recognize that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful, law-abiding citizens who condemn terrorism and violence. Stereotyping and stigmatizing entire communities based on the actions of a few individuals can lead to harmful consequences, including increased Islamophobia, social exclusion, and radicalization.

It's crucial to promote nuanced understanding, respect, and inclusion, rather than perpetuating inaccurate and divisive stereotypes.
You cruel 🙃

When you say "Nigerians vote ọmọ wa ni Tinubu," that's tribalism. It doesn't matter your tribe. You clearly imply that Tinubu was voted based on tribe. The OP might be a fellow supporter of Obi, they clearly are not immune.
Are you accusing me a view consistent with my cultural heritage and upbringing?

Before deciding on ọmọ wa ni, ọmọluabi came to mind, but it didn't fit, and I was in a hurry - family Christmas, little time to put the effort into being more perfect - or I might have considered Agbado Emilokan Jagaban, at least and on reflection, and from my tribal perspective, considering how often my Obidient self was told ọmọ ẹní kí ṣe idi bẹbẹrẹ ka fi ilẹkẹ sí idi ọmọ elomiran.

Indeed, tribal, guilty as charged, forgive my tardiness please, though I'd have thought my "along with the entire 250 or so million Nigerians" regardless of tribe or whom one voted for or not including my obvious self who failed to convince enough people to at least consider not continuing with APC, we all dutifully do deserve to suffer if that's what we're doing. Or does the rain decide to not fall on everyone when it pains where you are, and especially on those who lack umbrellas?

Point is, nobody, not any single one of us Nigerians is at all immune from the suffa suffa of being badly ruled. And even if you are immune, you got family who might not be, or neighbour.

My New Year read.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/2024fedSTEMplan.pdf

I must confess my ignorance of never been to either country, but from what I'm seeing I'm going to become a China shill.

Right there in the introduction written in 2024 is, "critical both to ready the nation to pursue new opportunities and to enable all individuals to achieve their own aspirations in STEM fields and careers", implying they will start to get ready "to enable all individuals" that they haven't begun to enable already to now begin to get ready to "pursue and achieve their own aspirations and careers" in the future, I infer.

Meanwhile, Communist work together China has been enabling, forcing even, its 1.5 billion people to pursue the aspirations of China since Mao at least with like 3000 years of history fueling them.

If Nigeria were at this point to realise that, "Government, educational and academic institutions, industry, nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, individuals, families, and communities must all work together to advance STEM education and cultivate the nation’s STEM talent", I'd get it, but individualistic America beginning to get ready to go communist and work together for nation only now in 2024 is a bit slow off the mark in my most humbles considering.
