Aww, hey! Hmm. Right now, there's a whole issue on trying to help farmers and herdsmen coexist, especially in the northern states, and it's a big deal because the farmers' farms get ruined by the livestock sometimes, and other times prominent or random people and/or their children get killed or kidnapped by someone who's upset about the conflict, one way or another. I'm from the south but it's very quickly becoming a national issue, if it isn't already, in the eyes of some. There's also still random bandits and Boko Haram in the north, which the powers that be are barely addressing. Then there's the fact that the government still refuses to take responsibility for SARS/SWAT and what happened on 10/10/2020, the Lekki Massacre. In the meantime, the issue hasn't stopped. And now they're pushing for people to get national ID numbers in the middle of a pandemic (or a pakurumo/panoramic/panshaga/pamurekeji #NigeriansWilding🤭) when there's no online registration option and people have to queue in the hot sun with no social distancing or general COVID protocols in place. Safe to say we have a bunch of issues. But homies are agonising over every detail of [insert whatever the latest event is - in this case, the inauguration ceremony]. Which you're entitled to as USians - it's an important thing for y'all and I'm happy for y'all, but I have almost no business with things like that, except that some of my friends are citizens there. Otherwise, I have my own issues and nobody even asks about them, but they talk about the latest little USian detail like it's taken for granted that everyone in the online space just knows and cares to know all this stuff. Like it concerns me. It happens on Tumblr and I try to largely block it out; it happens on Discord and like, I care about these people so if it's important or life-changing for them I definitely wanna hear it, in case y'all are reading this XDDD; it only doesn't happen to me on Twitter because the people I follow are like 90% Nigerians and then the other 10% are like, radfems and other interesting people I wanna follow. But it's kinda exhausting. More than a little. I would never tell my Discord homies not to talk about their stuff though, cause they have a right to do that. It's their space, too. If I'm not in the mood to deal, I'll just come back later. It just mostly feels like the US and its issues take up more space than any one country's stuff should take, on every social media platform.
