2 important dots to connect:
1986: IMF Structural Adjustment Program in Nigeria mandates Babangida to liberalise Nigeria's news media and information space. Foreign ownership and funding of mass media is permitted in Nigeria for the first time.
2026: 40 years later, after 2 generations of post-SAP Nigerians have been marinated in American-funded news, "education" and entertainment media for their entire lives, most Nigerians now believe they are Deputy Americans, and hold their primary allegiance to a country they have never been to on another continent. They now support openly imperialist actions by the US and would happily grind their own mothers into paste if the US president tells them to.
Bonus point: The US government owns 17% of the IMF, which requires an 85% voting majority to take decisions. This means the US holds veto power in the IMF, and the IMF is functionally an extension of US foreign policy.
Nigeria is the only place where a politician can fail spectacularly and still have supporters explaining why the failure is actually a success.
Such idiocy must end in 2027.

The problem is that the South Africans already know this, but the country appears to be trapped in the same kind of end-stage national psychosis afflicting the US, where ⅓ of the population is legitimately insane, and the remaining ⅔ act like hostages of the ⅓.
I myself have am tired of saying that it's only a minority and that most South Africans are not represented by this, because even if that is true, it no longer matters. The lunatic minority is clearly in power and there's nothing the South African majority can or will do about it.
Just 32 years after the end of Apartheid, you wouldn't think that the newly freed population would be on the brink of shooting itself back into captivity, but humans have an endless capacity to surprise you🤷🏿♂️
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🤷🏾

Everyone should see this, so that you're reminded why you should STAY ANGRY.

BATUK: BRITAIN'S COLONIAL GRIP IN KENYA
BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism.
For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media.
At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite.
But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions:
How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence?
Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer?
And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this?
Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States.

There are some very powerful people pulling the strings behind the scenes on this legal issue over airtime lending in Nigeria, trying to stick their straw into a market worth an estimated N400b annually. These people are close to the president, and are wielding tremendous power and distorting the entire economy in ways that would have embarrassed a post-Soviet Russian oligarch in 1994.
I’ve been actively aware of this matter for over two years now and the time may have come to tell the full story of how Idris Saliu Alubankudi, and his brother Shamsudeen Saliu 'Shamz' Alubankudi - both very close to Bola Tinubu and his family - have built one of the biggest and most powerful state corruption enterprises
in the entire history of Nigeria.
These men are attempting to capture the systemically important foundations of the entire Nigerian economy - specifically telecoms and ICT - and turn their 3 year-old corruption enterprise into a sort of Nigerian chaebol. You have never seen anything like it before.
You will be hearing the names 'Idris' and 'Shamz' a lot in the coming few days. Also don’t forget their family name 'Saliu Alubankudi.' It's an important part of the story.
"We have platformed."
And that right there is where your problem starts. You still believe that YOU platformed Peller and his fellow creatures of the Nigerian brainrot swamp. Let me break the news to you:
THE. ALGORITHMS. ARE. BLACK. BOXES.
You do NOT know what goes into them and how they work. That story you heard that "the algorithm only shows you more of what you engage with" is a completely false statement, right up there with "crypto is decentralised and outside the state's control."
People have actually tried to take the platforms to court to open up their algorithms to public scrutiny, and the US court ruling which you can Google and read by yourself said that THE ALGORITHMS ARE PROPRIETARY. In other words, they are protected by IP law and you legally are not allowed to know how they actually work!
You did not platform any of these people! White guys in Silicon Valley did! You are not the one "making stupid people famous". Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin and Mark Zuckerberg are the ones deciding who becomes famous in your society.
That is exactly why western social media platforms are banned in China and Russia - they want to retain the power to determine their own internal conversation. And by the way, China was accused of using TikTok to engineer US society the same way, which is why TikTok USA was forced to sell a controlling stake to Larry Ellison.
Stop misdiagnosing your problem, which is lack of sovereignty. "Nigerians are stupid and like stupid things" is not an intelligent explanation of how the world works! Only a simple minded person takes everything at face value even when superior information is so readily available.
Nigerians need to wake up and treat this as a generational survival issue. The US government (not the American people) has a long pattern of meddling in sovereign nations under the banner of "democracy," "religious freedom," or "counter-terrorism," while the real game is access to resources — oil yesterday, critical minerals and rare earths today.
Try and watch @realJudebela's Power and Plunder YouTube series, especially the Murtala and Babangida episodes.
If you're completely illiterate about your country's historical context and place in the geopolitical world, you won't be afterwards.
I won't elaborate.
Every Nigerian toddler, preteen, teenager must be taught repeatedly that the US government is their number one enemy in the world.
Nigerian children must grow up framed to protect their society from this Yankee demon.
If this doesn't happen, there will not be a Nigeria or Nigerians to speak of in another 20 years.
Just an empty patch of West African rare earth with a whole lot of mining and extraction going on.
