"Facebook. We are still not sure who brought it to Nigeria. But God bless that person's glorious hustle. We now have a place where we can be activists, insult the government, post nice flattering pictures of ourselves and generally blab about how magnificent or miserable our hustle is. Nothing is more therapeutic than a good hearty rant. If you can write your name, please get a Facebook account. It is free. Your blood pressure will never be the same again. But if you have lost elections, the place for you to let off steam is Twitter. Twitter is opposition-and-failed-politician-heaven. As an ex-something, you can go there and talk about a Marxist revolution even though you have 10 luxury cars with customised number plates, while you wait and prepare for the next elections.
Perhaps the strongest painkiller for our problems is God. I have explained this very carefully in the article 'How to Worship the Nigerian god'. If you haven't read it, don't be lazy, Google it."
