Once again for those at the back:

Your African name and language are cultural artefacts that are thousands of years old. They are not yours to deliberately bend or distort to suit your laziness and lack of self-esteem.

If the "Ghanaian" in "Dutch-Ghanaian" (whatever the fuck that even means) is so difficult that even to learn how to pronounce a single word is too much work for you, then drop it and just be Dutch in peace! Nobody will quarrel with you!

If being African is too much hard work, then please embrace your other identity with your full chest and stop using your African identity as some sort of rare Pokemon brand. Embrace your Dutchness. If possible change your name to Ryan de Boer. Since that's apparently much easier to pronounce than "Twi".

Fuck off and quit using Africa as some sort of exotic costume!

There is a direct link between the US government and the increasing disappearance of meat from Nigerian diets.

As usual, I have never been wrong. Just early.

IMF and World Bank-Backed Reforms Have Spiked Nigeria's Meat Prices

The latest spike in Nigerian meat and egg prices can be traced to the United States using financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to sabotage the Giant of Africa. With Nigerian children now facing growth stunts and developmental delays, how can Nigeria’s economy ever power through to lead Africa’s growth in the 21st century?

The Dangote Group owes the entire Black race a massive, unconditional, and publicly televised apology for promoting this highly offensive, CNN-style, neocolonial imagery.

This sickening visual graphic of shirtless, sweating, and exhausted local Black laborers literally carrying fully clothed, sunglasses-wearing white engineers or corporate "developers" on their backs is a catastrophic PR disaster for the entire African continent. This is a highly calculated psychological warfare designed strictly to mentally subjugate and humiliate Black people across Africa. It should absolutely never be allowed to pass without fierce public outrage, and it is every single bit as terrible, humiliating, and regressive as the historical photos of white colonial administrators and plantation slave masters being arrogantly carried around in hammocks by destitute and physically subjugated Black locals.

Furthermore, it is a massive, embarrassing mistake to even begin to foolishly think that this subhuman treatment is fully justified on the grounds that Dangote is bringing some form of theatrical development, industrial jobs, or corporate investments to these communities. To justify this humiliation is to ultimately admit that a Western YouTuber like MrBeast has a free pass to paint a deeply patronizing, primitive, and highly offensive image of African children simply because he is digging water wells or handing out cheap computers. To silently approve of this corporate visual abuse is to indirectly admit that European NGOs, Western charity cartels, and United Nations relief workers are fully justified in projecting a miserable, starving, and helpless image of Africa simply because they are offering peanut aid, expired drugs, and highly conditional grants to the local population.

The Black race boasts an incredibly rich, sophisticated, and legendary history. Africa was the proud home of some of the richest, most advanced, and militarily formidable empires of the past, and a massive Black-owned multinational conglomerate like Dangote should be aggressively projecting Black power, corporate sovereignty, technological dominance, and African pride, instead of reinforcing these lazy, deeply insulting, and neocolonial stereotypes. Whatever good development, economic expansion, or industrial employment is coming to these local communities can comfortably, easily, and cleanly come to them without them first being entirely stripped of their basic human dignity, self-respect, and cultural honor.

We love to comfortably pretend that Elon Musk is a simple racist or even desperately try to link him up with historical monsters like Adolf Hitler, but at the end of the day, his entire geopolitical, corporate, and technological calculus is strictly designed to fight for the absolute supremacy, dominance, and advancement of his own white race. If we are going to constantly complain about structural racism, then what we as Black people must unilaterally and collectively agree on is the massive, unapologetic projection of Black power, sovereign independence, and industrial success across the entire continent. This is exactly what white people historically did with Hollywood, and they are still actively, aggressively engaged in this exact same psychological warfare to permanently paint their own faces as naturally superior, scientifically advanced, and divinely civilized. This is exactly what we as a proud, conscious people should be aggressively doing as well.

History labeled Abacha a dictator for enforcing this, yet the visible decay in public spaces across Lagos today stems from weak enforcement under democracy. Africa's rise requires disciplined governance not some FREEDOM preaching buffoon in suit and tie.

[West Africa Weekly @WestAfricaWeek]

By pushing petrol from N140 to N1500, crashing the naira from N460 to over N2000, and leaving millions hungry, this administration led by Tinubu has stolen Nigeria's integrity and reduced desperate citizens to begging for blood money on TikTok.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

This is what partying and clubbing were supposed to facilitate and accelerate. Not people sitting in one corner, ignoring others, or trying to prove that they have more money than others by ordering overpriced drinks.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

The same FIFA that could not stop a world cup host from not issuing visas to players and official delegations has banned Haiti from wearing its jersey because the design (paying homage to its anti-slavery struggle) is "too political."

"Black people should just kick the footballs. The wider political context of the football is not for them."

[Danton Bissono Chidera 🎖️ @DantonChidera]

Nigerians have little idea how much intelligence they help the West, especially the US, gather. They are a loud-mouthed people who constantly speak on the internet, often unaware of the potential consequences.

Many Nigerians believe that Western intelligence agencies (such as the CIA, DGSE, etc.) operate exactly like they do in movies- images fed to them by streaming platforms. In reality, it's often simpler: their ignorance of sovereignty and security makes it easier for these agencies to operate whenever they talk loudly online or in gatherings sponsored by Western institutions.

In Nigeria, an activist claiming to stand with the people and flooding the internet with essays on sovereignty and economic independence might still be a guest of ambassadors from the US, France, Germany, the EU, or the UK. Similarly, a journalist, ostensibly a key asset of the country (though they often don't realise it, As the system is designed to keep them misinformed), proudly display bias and partisanship in news reports. It is also common for artists in Nigeria to lend their voices and talents to propaganda, directly or indirectly, in exchange for contracts and promises of prominence on Western platforms.

The core issue in Nigeria is a lack of self-awareness, which influences perceptions across politics, the economy, geopolitics, foreign affairs, culture, security, religion, and education. This lack of understanding makes the people vulnerable to manipulation and orchestrated campaigns like SOS activism.

A self-aware Nigerian poses the greatest threat to Western corporations intent on exploiting Nigeria's resources.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Looking forward to when Nigeria will sanction Britain for trafficking up to 184,000 men from Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia and Sierra Leone to die on the front lines as cannon fodder covering the white soldiers in a British war in Burma.

Fucking pricks.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

This country is everything Nigeria was in 2014, minus the security issues.

Once you zoom out and see where it is heading and what that means for Africa, you can immediately see why it is under such vicious attack.

We've literally lived through this exact movie before.

@prophetswitch Hmmm.. Nigerians need to make it a condition for campaign that any presidential candidate needs to detach from the evil IMF

[Headless YouTuber @HeadlessYouTube]

Any serious country would've arrested this fool by now for inciting violence.

South Africa's Government is clearly in support of whatever is going on

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

If I wanted to maintain my current standard of living, but in Nigeria, it would cost too much to be realistic.

Nigerian prices are way too expensive in USD terms despite having such a devalued currency, and I don't understand how everyone is quiet.

That country is stupidly expensive for no reason at all🤷🏾

The day you will know that there is a connection between the push by Uganda to have commercial oil production commence this year and the current Ebola narrative [and the harebrained advisories] is the day you will have completed your Elementary Geopolitics class.

[GHANA CHRONICLES @_GhChronicles]

The world didn’t experience this in Russia 2018, Qatar 2022; these are countries the West paints negatively... but look at how the self-proclaimed advanced country is behaving?

Look at the demeaning act they’re subjecting countries like Iraq, Iran, and African countries to… THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST TIME THE USA HOSTS THE WORLD CUP

[Sir Mapy @sirmapy]

My attention has been brought to fraudulent investment schemes operating under the name “WKC” and falsely claiming affiliation with WikiCat and the SMC ecosystem.

I want to be absolutely clear:

WikiCat (WKC) is a cryptocurrency project.

We do NOT operate any investment fund, offer investment returns, promise trips abroad, apartments in dubai or solicit payments for capital gains.

Anyone claiming to represent WKC and offering:

• Guaranteed returns on investment
• Sponsored trips to China, USA, or elsewhere
• Multi-level recruitment schemes
• Payment plans tied to returns

…is a fraudster operating a Ponzi scheme.

This is not affiliated with us in any way.

If you or someone you know has been approached with such an offer:

1. Do not invest

2. Report immediately to the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and relevant local authorities

3. Provide details: fraudster’s name, contact info, groups/chats used, amounts demanded

4. Verify from only Official communications channels ONLY

Thank you to everyone reporting this.

God bless SMC, long live the DAO
