Nigeria

Point being, my uncle's friend is seriously stressed out, and the actual pilot had taken to drinking most nights just to keep his nerves together.

But the straw that broke the camel's back was this one night flight into Nigeria.

The turbulence had been very rough on this occasion, and apparently the pilots are just about ready to throw in the towel.

But the flight is almost over, and they are both about to breathe a sigh of relief as they begin their descent into whatever airport they're flying into.

Um, Santa Ana.

From Nigeria, so, uh, amazing.

Hi from India.

Um, and hi from Sydney and South Florida, NYC.

Yeah, Aesha is driving across a bridge with Max Wale on the phone.

He's still in Nigeria.

Um, she's hoping she doesn't have to put the blood on anybody The blood of Jesus Christ- Uh ... on anybody.

I gotta say, she was really funny.

Yeah.

Um, so Josh believes Katie is faithful, and everyone stares around like, "This fucker." Turns out she made out with four people on New Year's Eve.

And [exhales] again, Aesha says like, "Hey," it's interesting how A- Aesha has such empathy when she's not on that, but yet she invites all of her fucking friends and family to Nigeria, and then when they get there says, "Hey, be happy for my wedding." Shocker.

Like, see-

They can clap for you today and say, "We, we have been praying for this CEO.

As soon as you came into this company, we knew that our lives have changed." Two weeks later on, they say, "How can we either kill this man or take him out of this place?"

That authentic Jesus, oh, not bad Jesus, real Jesus.

They'll say, "So this is how you are? You are like this.

Yes

... do you understand? And I don't know if this is the g- this is the, because this is also, I'll lay this on the government because the government is also, and this is not just in Nigeria, like just generally, right?

You're also meant to create spaces for people to fulfill their lives beyond work.

You have one of the greatest pop stars of all time.

Okay.

Davido is the greatest DJ in Nigeria, whatever everybody wants to say.

Bro-

What's going on? All right, so whether you're schooled in Oyo State or in Shokoto State, it's expected that you hear the same thing.

Am I right? And it's the same examination, the West African examinations here in Nigeria for the secondary school that everybody has to write.

And the reason is this.

It's assumed that you've learned the same thing And we can test you on the same thing.

It's a futile attempt.

Is somebody got what I'm saying here? Look at Acts chapter...

Particularly in Nigeria, you cannot wear the thing because they would...

All right, Acts chapter 17 verse.

But it also looks like it's all over just a different color.

It could be a piece... i'm not really like versed in pieces though like in male pieces even when maxwell gets the like man weave in nigeria and i'm like oh that's amazing like i don't know how they did that i don't know how he's like picking it out seemingly the next day like that seems crazy like i don't know so i'm willing to be open to the theories for sure

Parliament's directive will remain in place until further notice.

To the Middle East, where Iran is set to formally present Gulf nations with an agreement reached with Oman on a temporary shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz following a rare meeting between senior Iranian and Emirati officials.

Buried in the back pages of the business section is news about Aliko Dangote's first IPO ever on the African continent in Nigeria.
