East Africa Nigerians – .

A beautiful lady from Kenya, East Africa, has taken to her TikTok handle to give five reasons why she does not like Nigerians. Below are the reasons:

1.Their food is delicious

They have the most delicious food anyone could ever eat. They take their time to cook. We hardly know how to spice food. If you come from East Africa and you have had the great opportunity of tasting Nigerian food, to be honest, it gets to a point that you do not want to eat our own food because their food is delicious. They take their time to cook.

To be honest in East Africa, especially Nairobi, we hardly know how to spice food.

These people will use anything and everything and the food to be honest does not have the nicest of smell but when you taste it, trust me, you would not want to leave it.

I do like them because they have pretty delicious food.

Well probably our Pilau is better than Jonav. No online fighting but yes, these guys have very good food.

2. Nigerians know how to party and have fun

Lagos-Calabar Highway: Six Things To Know About Ongoing Demolition Of Landmark Beach

According to him, the demolition was necessary because the landmark centre was on the federal government’s right-of-way.

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Korede Keisha, also stated that the demolition team would commence the removal of the marked property, and anything within the right of way of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway would be dropped down.

She had also asked all those whose houses were marked for demolition to come to the ministry’s secretariat in Lagos to sort out whatever process was required by the ministry.

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and one of the governorship aspirants during 2023 elections in Ogun State, Segun Showunmi, on Monday, cautioned President Bola Tinubu from toeing path of an ingrate.

Otunba Showunmi said that President Tinubu can not afford to be a betrayal of the trust the north has in the south as far as managing the political landscape of nigeria is concerned.

Showunmi condemned Tinubu’s total neglect of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and Yahaya Bello, the former governors of Kaduna and Kogi States, respectively, despite working tirelessly to ensure that the former governor of Lagos emerged last February as the new President of nigeria.

The PDP chieftain disclosed this in a statement titled “This Madness Must Stop” and made available to journalists on Monday.

Showunmi accused Tinubu of allowing the former Kogi governor to suffer unnecessary humiliation at the hands of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission despite his invaluable contribution to actualising Tinubu’s presidency, while other former governors of the Peoples Democratic Party are allowed to stroll all over the town.
