There is not a single elite in Nigeria whose bad behavior is punished by Nigerians. Not in music, not in politics, not anywhere.

Maybe you shoukd check the meaning if the word tyrant again. Also, maybe I shouldn't waste my time arguing with someone who says "if misinformation will free his people ńlá bla bla". How is his people free when he has lost almost half of his country to Islamists?

The more you interact with people the clearer it becomes that most people are not inherently wicked. They are just irredeemably stupid. And Idiocy is a more dangerous trait than malice.

Olaoluwa Kitchen. If you live or work around Agidingbi/Fela Shrine, there perhaps isn’t a better, more insightful Inflation Monitor. In 2015/16, Nicholas 'The Brave' Ibekwe and I were there when a wrap of Amala sold for N100. Meat was N100 per piece, or so, and Ogunfe was N700/N1k.

The class of customers at the time also told a story: Vulcanizers, roadside mecho/artisans & of course 9/5ers and civil servants from Alausa/CBD. The place was a melting pot of sorts: not too pricey like the Mega eateries, and not too “cheap”/”unrefined” like the street Buka.

Then came COVID. And inflation. Today, a wrap of Amala now sells for N500. Meat, too. Ogunfe sells for N2,500. Interestingly, the size of 2016 Amala wrap isn’t significantly different from 2025's, and prices didn’t shoot up suddenly. It was gradual. Well, er, inflation.

These days, there are more cars/'posh' customers than there are "OverAll”-wearing artisans, & a random observer would see Growth. But the 2015 back-story suggests Reduced Purchasing Power: artisans have been priced out of the equation & now make do with lower-quality food hawkers

Now that Trump has left no one in doubt what he is all about, I don't see those pathetic Nigerian Trump groupies tweeting inanities anymore.
