My last word on the "olodo uprising":
You can keep on repeating to yourself, "The algorithms only show you more of what you like, so the problem is with us not with the social media platforms" as much as you like.
It won't make it true.
The algorithms are NOT neutral. You're just too delusional to accept the reality that rich, powerful people who pay billions for publicity and advertisement will never look at a technology like social media and leave it alone to be "neutral".
If you believe these platforms are neutral, then you are not different from Peller and his internet tribe. You're just an olodo with better articulation.
"AI is the future of work, creativity and learning"...parrots a bamboozled African adult who due to having no media literacy, cannot tell the difference between a statement of objective technical fact and an expensive ad campaign that has been rammed into his head by rich people.
Watch and cure your ignorance, ye bamboozled African who believes "AI" is coming to save you from hard work and thinking, or grow your economy for you.
AI is rat poison, and the people selling it to you don't let their own kids go anywhere near it. That's all you need to know about it.

Southwest, Nigeria had a TV station before some European countries.
Everyone around the world gather to Lagos to celebrate something they could not imagine an African country having before them.

How come it is cheaper to catch fish in China, freeze it in China, transport it frozen down to Lagos, Nigeria, clear it frozen, truck it frozen to Onitsha, truck it frozen to Ikot Ekpene ---
than to catch it it Oron and sell it in Ikot Ekpene?

What led Chelsea to post, "Come visit London's home of trophies. You can book your stadium tour at Stamford Bridge now"?
A good number of Arsenal fans went to watch the UCL final at Frankie's Sports Bar at Stamford Bridge. They clearly expected to win and celebrate there afterward.
Football order was restored yesterday by PSG. Arsenal fans were on the verge of becoming even more insufferable, and Chelsea's post feels like a reminder that celebrating before you've won anything rarely ends well.
Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeriaโs ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlingsโฆ.what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeriaโs global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
