The U.S. is building its largest consulate in the world in Nigeria, at Eko Atlantic, Lagos, on 12.2 acres of land at a cost of $537 million.

At the same time the U.S is imposing stricter visa restrictions and enforcement measures on Nigerians.

So what exactly is the strategic logic in building the worlds largest consulate in Nigeria while simultaneously trying to reduce the volume of visa and consular services it provides to Nigerians to the barest minimum?

What do you think?

This magnificent creation stands tall at an impressive height of 24 feet. Behold, the Godzilla sculpture

We’ve come a long way.

Whatever happened to this accent? I know accents evolve, but personally I think only the northerners kept it. Down south, no one sounds like this anymore. Does anybody know why?

Long before Artificial Intelligence became a global phenomenon, a 20-year-old Yoruba student named Mudashiru Ayeni had already built a battery-powered robot office assistant. His invention? A machine that could tell callers whether the boss was busy, available, or away from the office at the press of a button.

But instead of being celebrated as a genius, Ayeni was treated like a madman.

According to a 1971 feature story by TRUST magazine, Ayeni requested a personal demonstration before Nigeria's then-Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon. His reward? He was sent to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.

· Ayeni made eight visits to the psychiatric hospital before a doctor finally certified him to be of sound mind.
· He wrote to his school principal about the role young Africans should play in the continent's development, and was banned from classes and forced to quit school entirely.

Ayeni later reached out to Nigeria's Federal Commissioner of Communications, Aminu Kano, who encouraged him and gave him renewed purpose. At the time the story was published, several businessmen had already expressed interest in his invention.

While the world celebrates AI pioneers, Mudashiru Ayeni's story remains a painful reminder of how Nigeria treated genius, with suspicion, humiliation, and psychiatric wards instead of laboratories and funding.

Igbo men really love marrying foreign women.

I’m in love with the recent high rise buildings springing up around the island.

Visit Nigeria for yourself and see things yourself. Don’t listen to the negatives online. Nigeria is a beautiful country filled with beautiful people.

While we have famous people like P Square celebrating the fact that his kids speak fluent French and don’t understand a single thing in his native Igbo language, these British kids are here singing joyfully in Yoruba language.

We need to preserve our culture. Yes, your kids can learn French and Mandarin, but please teach them Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo also, or whatever Nigerian language you speak.

I really love the way Nigerian content creators make contents these days and infuse their native languages. It’s very important.

Every time a foreigner comes to Nigeria, they’re always confused with all the chaos that goes on at the same time. 😂🤣. Such a fun chaotic place to live in.

Everyone should experience it at some point in their lives.

Visit Nigeria in your lifetime, you won’t regret it.

More and more foreigners are coming to Nigeria on tours and for investment opportunities. Our ministry of tourism and art need to need to develop more places to visit in Nigeria. This is a huge industry if managed well.

many of their videos are reaching global audiences while challenging long-held misconceptions about the country.

We need more of this. Positive, authentic storytelling helps counter negative stereotypes, and the persistent bad PR especially when amplified by some Nigerians should be overshadowed by balanced, firsthand experiences.

I hope she won whatever they’re winning. Cos this is a 10/10 in my book.

Kudos to FAAN for the improvement. 👏, being seeing a lot of testimonies from foreigners about the airport.

God bless Nigeria. P
