Again he just said
“Luckily for me, we didn’t know what we were building, because if I’d known, we’d have chickened out.”
If you know all the details, you won’t do it. Just start, buddy. Just start
Idk man… life ain’t perfect but I’m enjoying the heck out of it.
I encourage y’all to not waste the limited time you have wishing for a life that doesn’t exist and start maximizing the life you were given.

In the 1980s, Nigeria was pushed into Structural Adjustment Programs by the IMF/World Bank. SAPs forced government to slash spending on public infrastructure such as power, water, health, education.
Who designed those conditions? Washington consensus institutions with US Treasury fingerprints all over them.
NEPA didn’t fail by accident. It was defunded by policy.
Now zoom out to Nepal.
Nepal sits on some of the most powerful river systems on earth. Hydroelectric potential that could power the entire subcontinent.
Yet they remain one of the poorest countries in Asia,dependent on foreign aid, foreign expertise, foreign approval.
Why? Because energy independence is geopolitical power. And powerful neighbors (with US backing) don’t want a self-sufficient Nepal.
Two countries. Two continents. Zero electricity sovereignty.
The CIA doesn’t need to cut your light. They just need to make sure you never build the switch.
But because you can’t read not think objectively, you make careless tweets without realizing how hopeless you are.
Tribalism can end in 2 years with the right leadership, you guys really underrate federal might.
Pass a decree, anyone caught engaging in tribalism will do community service and pack shit/waste for at least 3 months, everyone’s senses will return back to normal.
For the second time, guys.
If you live in Nigeria and have no financial strength to relocate anytime soon, treat the 2027 election as a priority. See it like your life depends on it, because in actual sense, it does.
Listen to me: Tinubu will be ruthless with policies if he wins again. The economic frustrations will push many to the edge of suicide. Nobody will come to your rescue.
After 2027, Tinubu, Akpabio, and most governors will be done. No more elections. They will definitely have nothing to lose.
They’ll retire comfortably in their mansions scattered across the US, Canada, UK, and Europe… while regret becomes your daily meal.
Be smart with your vote in 2027.
