Brilliant as expected! It is even arguable that Nigeria is the only economic giant on the continent that is wholly built and run by BLACKS. Lagos is the defacto Economic capital of the whole subregion.

Let Tinubu clamp down on insecurity in all forms; Banditry, Ritual killings etc and watch the investment flow even more. Oga Emma is also spot on. Because not matter how much of a shithole Nigeria is, you're statistically likely to thrive economically here than in other parts of sub-saharan Africa bar South Africa and to a lesser extent, Kenya.

Last week has been slow still stuck in chapter 10, my learning hour - I wrote a script that tracks my screen time in my LM PC has been less than 5 hrs for the PDF reader and the IntelliJ. I am not going to beat myself up. there were days I was progressively fast and grasping thing and most importantly, I am literally learning a new language fgs.

I am happy for my "former" friend she texted me she got a job on Upwork although she bought connect to land them. I did not ask further for details so that it does not seem like I am establishing a severed connection.

On the positive side, I am in day 4 of AOC using JavaScript. I dun abandoned Java, I will hopefully use Java in 2026. I struggled on day 2 for almost 2 days. It has made me realise that I have skills issues and my DSA is shiiiiiiittttttttttttt.

Well, new week is upon us and I am hopeful it is productive.

Bros,

No mind young Nigerians. To us, every other country in Africa is bad, even though some haven't actually lived in those countries. Yes, Nigeria has its issues - big big ones - but when analysed and compared amongst other Black countries, we are much better off. Those countries are Tarabas, Kebbis and Yobes. The major issue we have is our incompetent elites in tackling insecurity and toxic/religious politics.

Also, as I have written in my diary, when one spends too much time on TwitterNG and follows certain handles, one begins to pick up anti-Nigerian vibes. Untarred roads is a West African issue, just as open gutters. The other day, Moe, a popular Twitter personality, showed the picture of an elite area in Cotonou only to tag it "a random place". How can the Maitama of Cotonou be a random place? How many ordinary Beninese can live there? Not long ago, my friend in Canada, who is chatting with a babe in Freetown, Sierra Leone, told me their currency is stronger than the naira; thus, Sierra Leoneans are living better than Nigerians! I wan craze! I had to do a long VN explaining basic economics to this dude and why having a strong currency isn't a good thing.

Also, there is nowhere Sierra Leone is better off than Nigeria till thy kingdom come, and certainly not because the currency is strong. Dem fit find work for there? What is the purchasing power of the average Sierra Leonean? This extends to everywhere in the sub-region. For one, I don't consider Mauritania to be a country, just as Somalia. Tensa20 said women in those countries should remove their wombs as nothing good fit comot from there.

Nigeria has its issues, and I will continue talking about them, but we are better off than every country in West Africa, and this is till thy kingdom come. Only Kenya and South Africa should be mentioned alongside Nigeria. The rest of the continent are just mini Oguns, Akwa Iboms, Kogis, Enugus, Bauchis etc.

Seems like you did not research Iceland before you choose it as a point of interest. Everything I wrote can be verified online, its not an esoteric secret or planetary science.

And yes, Iceland is exceptionally cold, as in Canada's cold is child's play. You will live with blocks as huge as a mountain for most of your life, and wear thick jackets like an eskimo. Lol.

Better look for a different destination to go, and remove Iceland from your list.
