Looking forward to when our own home bred journalists would be wowed and fawned over by international audience. Then again, do we need their validation?!
WIll be back for the gay related comments…

Because you want to compete in the NBA rather than the Serbian basketball league, the EPL rather than the Chinese super league or whatever it’s called. Validation matters in stuff like that. However, African journalists have done a fine job in unmasking corruption — if only the masses cared.

Segun Demuren is a fine man. Who cares if he is gay? Why is Bisi jealous and trying to incite something against this man? This man came into Nigeria quietly for work, yet Bisi the House husband is just shouting and howling all over the internet. Biko, Bisi let us hear word. Go and cook for your husband.

Hahahahaha. Thanks to him, I now know of Quest’s sexuality. He’s acting as if he been paid to broadcast the “gospel ” according to Quest

I love gay people as long as they are law-abiding and friendly and don’t make effort to convince me about being a part of their enigmatic practise.

A trillion dollar economy and the slums haven’t been torn down or the city beautified. Nigeria needs to get it together. Lagos is an ugly city.
Abuja is decent though.
MeE!

If only you will stop throwing sachet water on the road and advised others not to, trust me, this city would be more beautiful as for the slums, my dear read news more often they’ve started evacuating. You can help instead of just ranting here.. Pls if you live in Lagos, i guess you should Pack and Go and if you not in Lagos, pls don’t come back.

I don’t like this idea of putting most high-profile visitors to Nigeria in traditional garb and giving them a local name.
At least, not amymore. Something about it is just off
