Bad news everywhere, all the time. It’s exhausting. My only suggestion: please try and DO something to make your part of the world a little better. Be part of SOMETHING GOOD that is bigger than yourself. Volunteer, donate, serve. Do something. Anything. Please. #DontJustTweet

This world is exhausting. In America, it’s racism – white cops killing unarmed black people. In Nigeria, where we share the same skin colour, it’s tribalism & genocide. Every other week there’s another story of mass murder; Kaduna today, Jos tomorrow. So much hatred. I am tired

#DontJustTweet Be a part of something that is bigger than yourself.. something that means more than your personal chase for success. Volunteer/Donate/Serve… somewhere/someone/anywhere/anyone in need. Play your part in putting some good back in this world. Tweets are not enough.
