Nigeria is facing a real crisis and regardless of the fact that there are many youths in the country, the boomers have all the power. Yes my friends, we're facing a chronic delusional boomer infestation I'm our government and it is evident in our country.

In Nigeria the trending news is about cattle, silly violence, religious wars and generally things that make you cringe. Our politics is pretty much in he dark ages and this is a byproduct of the boomerness in top Government positions.

It's not that I don't like old people because that will he unfair of me because their age isn't a fault. Life gets to everyone and as long as we live long enough, we'll also inevitably be old people.

My real problemis with the "traditional" old person that genuinely believes that they're infallible. I don't know if it is the same in other countries but around here, an unhealthy population of old people live under the notion that their age automatically translates to some sort of advanced wisdom.

This is the case with our delusional president who posted a tweet that practically instigated genocide and then got mad because it was taken down. He doesn't realise that "Twitter" as an entity didn't target him and it was actually because many people reported the tweet.

It was pretty much the same situation with Donald Trump and how he was oblivious of how the platform works. If you tweet something that people don't like, they'll report you and your shit gets taken off. It's not rocket science.

Someone needs to explain to our tantrum throwing president that has even made steps to ban Twitter in Nigeria that he's not the center of the universe. Unlike Nigeria where you don't have any accountability for what you say, people on Twitter can kick your dumb ass out of there.

It is a rather unfortunate situation that we have such an individual that is completely oblivious of reality in office. His views in everything modern, including politics and crypto are archaic.

The president of Nigeria is a relic that shouldn't be in a retirement home being fed soup by caregivers. He has no place in governance and everyone who voted for him should be ashamed of themselves.

At the end of the day, what we're suffering from is a boomer infestation in government and the only way to fix it is by tussling with them. Young and independent minded people like me that have not tasted the corrupt came are required to fix the situation.

The quest is, do I really want to? Do I really want to die for it? And of course is it really worth the stress when I could just use the funds to relocate. How much can one do with one life I wonder? Time will tell.

Marketng opportunity for hive?

Just the other day, I was talking about how the change in Google's ad services policy could be leveraged by hive. I was thinking we could take opportunity of the change and try attract more people.

The situation in Nigeria also presents an opportunity that can be turned into something useful. The Twitter ban in Nigeria means that people will be looking for an avenue to share their opinions.

Many people have resorted to using VPN and stuff like that but I'm sure there are others who didn't. I feel like this is a big opportunity for hive to try to reach out to the country that has the most active social media activities in Africa.

Despite suffering from the boomer situation, Nigeria is actually a young population of very socially active people. There is a big opportunity for us to present hive as an alternative, and bring in more people to the mix.

In the process, we will improve the network effect as @taskmaster4450 often talks about and could bring in some investors. It's a bad situation but something good could really come out of it, so it's worth the shot.
