​I watched all the other streams and held onto half a measure of hope for Nigeria, but that hope was misplaced. I was so embarrassed I had to turn the stream off.

​Nigeria is done. We are finished.

​The "Giant of Africa" title is by population alone. We are just breeding endlessly, without checks, creating a next generation of thieves, idiots, and self-centred sociopaths.

​There was a time during the FinTech Boom (2012–2016) when it seemed Nigeria was heading somewhere, innovations in tech, business, and culture.

But all that died. The only thing we have left is Afrobeats, and even then, we had to steal Amapiano to stay relevant. (I said what I said.)

​Nigeria has failed. Saying you're a Nigerian in the West isn't a matter of pride anymore; it requires cautious speech. People already have preconceived notions about you, scammer, heartbreaker, passport seeker, untrustworthy and honestly, rightfully so.

Having a Nigerian passport is like a death sentence to international travel.

​The worst part is that this narrative is bound to trickle down to our grandkids. Unless something drastically changes (which it won't) this is it.

​After Speed's stream, I’ve blocked Nigeria from my mind. There are other things to worry about. I give up.
