I'd like to break something in your consciousness.

The humans mind is a powerful thing, it would be a shame and a major disaster to have it controlled by other people.

@PoojaMedia The rich of Lagos might soon be very concerned about driving around in their expensive cars.

So all that money spent on flashy cars that they now can't even flaunt in public anymore.

This deep inequality won't work for anyone in the end.

Once again, everybody has plans for Africa.

(Except Africans themselves, who are busy posting laugh emojis on social media, as if something is funny)

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

This is what Nigeria sorely lacks. A true statesman.

@Pragmatismo_ Xi tem postura de estadista. Não demonstra qualquer emoção e foca apenas no que importa para seu país. O trabalho de esculpir um líder na China leva décadas, não basta soltar meia duzia de frases de efeito no Twitter.

My next video is going to be on Ye

I realised that, despite how talented he is & how big his ego is, he never shied away from recognising when he couldn’t get something right creatively & reaching out to people he felt were better than him at it

When making Stronger he had finished the song but felt it wasn’t hitting hard enough. He wanted drums that would make people move in the club, so he called Timbaland to help, & the rest was history and a diamond plaque

The beauty of creativity is collaboration. Don’t always feel like you have all the answers. Be open to getting help to maximize your art.

Calling a forest “undeveloped land” is such a strange way to describe it.

Nothing is undeveloped about it. It is an ecosystem doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

@sezuaIY That poor horse.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

and those whose brains didn't tell them to slam the brakes then have been dumbed down so much, that this is what catches their attention and counts as entertainment to them today.

The enshittification of the Nigerian mind.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

This kind of content took off in the mid to late 2010s. I remember Twyse, then Mr Macaroni, Falz (intentionally bad English though he's a UK graduate) among others.

What many didn't know then, was that it was a slippery slope... 1/2

Omo see nyash wey Trinity carry give Kolu 🙆🏻‍♂️😳😂😂😂

@AngryAFMario Why I abandoned reddit.

r/askreddit still promoting sex related questions to their front page while the world burns.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

Niger Republic with a population of 29 million still managing to produce global guitar legends (Bombino is another), while Nigeria with 200 million is producing skit makers.

That Giant of Africa title will be used to mock us very soon if we don't wake up.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

Mahamadou Solueymane of Mdou Moctar used bicycle strings to build his first guitar as his parents wouldn't buy him one.

His first album was recorded in Sokoto state, Nigeria in 2008.

He was ranked 90/250 Greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2023.

Make Dey leave this streaming thing for Carter efe 😂😂 him too sabi 🔥🔥 cause watin be this

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

Folks with blue checks, the freedom to write longer posts isn't always the blessing you think it is.

Long pieces on a platform that still glorifies short form content will often be scrolled past.

Please open a substack instead and direct us there, or use the /n option.

The devil has taken off its mask.

[Iran Embassy SA @IraninSA]

They used to claim they respect international law. Now the truth is coming to light. Neither human lives matter to them, nor international law.

The United States has formally withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council, one day after a UN fact-finding mission said there are “reasonable grounds” to believe US forces committed war crimes in two strikes on civilian sites in Iran. https://t.co/pIq48kc54L

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

@Spearhead_Af Don't forget the skit makers too. They're probably having a worse influence even.

Ensuring the people have something to laugh about and share, while the country decays beneath their feet.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

@MmisterNobody When Kanye made that controversial slavery being a choice comment, this is where my mind went.

In 200 years or more, someone will wonder how all 8 billion of us sat there and took it as we were constantly oppressed by people so few, and they will rightly call it our choice.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

@Spearhead_Af I am once again reminding Nigerians to please go and listen to Mdou Moctar of Niger Republic. Listen to Afrique Victime and Funeral For Justice albums. You can find the translations of the lyrics online.

Nigeria isn't making music at all right now.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

@nnamanichi93717 Materialism and decadence for the top 10%.
Consumerism and decadence for the poor.

Western civilisation in a nutshell.

[Koome Mwafrika. @KoometheChris]

I believe Africa needs a revolution of consciousness more than another cycle of elections. We have changed leaders, parties and slogans for decades while the colonial structures remain. If the system survives every election, then changing politicians alone will never liberate us.

[GrizzlyBeluga @Checkorzi]

@KoometheChris https://t.co/RmyofKPF6y

Please have a read. Nothing short of a cultural revolution can save African countries.

The rot from western ideologies has moved from infrastructures and leaders into the minds of the people.

This needs to change first before anything else.

[chi... @nnamanichi93717]

We're not saying our ancestors didn't make some mistakes, which is natural, we're saying that this generation is becoming worse of what we blamed our ancestors of doing.
