Like a joke, there are many members here based abroad. One quickly realizes when their submissions are analyzed. There are more present today than one will admit.

Lol, his latest comments are still him not breaking character. The innocuous assumption is that they view happenings in Nigeria through the unassuming lens of the working clime they reside in. Or, that they've never lived here. But it can be tough fully absolving them cuz more observant compatriots in the diaspora are present on this forum. At least, I know one, who thankfully sticks to more social /domestic deliberations

The other plausible explanation is twofold. There's a conspiracy theory that those who liquidated all their assets to emigrate beyond our shores will go any length to ensure the country never improves, as that would make their efforts, exile and sacrifice worthless

The second dark guess is that they're diehard beegots who virtually support any political party their tribesman represents, as long as they don't experience first hand the ineptitude of his actions and inactions. I recommend those who don't know where the shoe pinches focus their craft on entertaining their audience. Example, your prose describing a trip to the nude beach was magnificent

To give you benefit of doubt @jakumo, the Nigerian government NEVER does anything in our interests, ever. If you think cbd trade benefits the common man in the slightest way, I've got an airport to sell to you. I understand news outlets are your main avenue of keeping tabs with your motherland but I'd take whatever comes out of it with a pinch of salt if I were you. Our only saving grace is subverting/overhauling the joke of a system we're currently practising. Until then, all these shit reforms, bills and policies are just liturgical

I just dey look you. ROFLMAO.

The guy sabi write and is witty but Idk whether he's naive as a result of not living in Nigeria and knowing how things work here, or whether he's that kind of pharisee stupid described in the adage, "rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of men". He follows it blindly, either cause he doesn't live here to experience it first hand, or cuz he's incapable of adjusting in light of reality to reach more pragmatic conclusions

Funny enough, he's widely exposed so he's already set in his blanket perspectives ie fatphobic, islamophobia (justified tbf), deepseated hatred for secession proponents, despises the poor and unemployed black bloke, etc. All concealed behind admirable literature. He can't see a nuanced view of anything. And if you're not discerning enough to distill both, you'd get carried away by the misconception that he's vastly knowledgeable regarding discourse at hand

Personally, Always sad to see sheer waste of writing prowess, not just from him but even across diverse media. I wish he'd stick to sections that don't require critical /analytical thinking. That way, his commentary can be savored devoid of annoying, blatantly ignorant takes
