[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

I hate to admit this, but I completely agree with the IMF on this one.

I know that this may sound heavily counterintuitive. In all my political analysis on this platform, I have consistently pointed out that the IMF and the World Bank do not give out loans to genuinely help developing countries. They lend strictly to control the economies of developing nations, force privatization, and forcefully open local markets for the massive global multinationals financing these exact institutions.

However, I have done my deep research on this highly secretive Abu Dhabi loan scheme that the Nigerian government is presently considering, and what I found is deeply troubling and borderline treasonous.
First, it is crucially important to emphasize that this is the first time Nigeria, in all its long, painful history of borrowing to build infrastructure, is ever seriously considering a Total Return Swap (TRS) loan.
Historically, Nigeria has always restricted its sovereign borrowing to Eurobonds, bilateral government-to-government loans(with China), Paris Club concessional debt, standard World Bank infrastructure facilities, or traditional commercial syndicated loans.
Not only has Nigeria never tried a Total Return Swap loan in the past, but other African nations have actively, aggressively avoided this financial death trap entirely. In fact, the only two African nations to have even foolishly attempted to engage in a Total Return Swap loan are Senegal and Angola, and in both tragic cases, the macroeconomic aftershocks have been devastatingly brutal.

First, I see Nigerians making the erroneous and highly emotional argument that the IMF is strictly against this loan simply because they do not want us borrowing from China or the Middle East. This is a massive because the toxic TRS loan that Angola eventually took was actually structured through an American bank, JPMorgan, and the IMF still criticized it heavily, publicly, and relentlessly. Secondly, even though the bank Nigeria currently intends to borrow this money from may proudly bear an Arabic name, the underlying operational and structural plumbing of global finance rigidly dictates that it is absolutely impossible for the UAE to directly lend billions of dollars to Nigeria without the direct involvement, backend infrastructure, dollar liquidity, and clearing systems of major American banks. So Wall Street still gets to comfortably eat from this toxic loan, even though it is geographically originating from the Middle East.

Secondly, it is incredibly easy to understand why the Tinubu Administration is pushing so aggressively to lock in this loan. Recall that a strong rumor was circulating last month that the World Bank had permanently terminated an $800 million loan to the Nigerian government. Well, the truth is that it was actually the Tinubu Administration that urgently requested the World Bank terminate the loan because the harsh conditions were simply too much to swallow politically. The World Bank arrogantly demanded that Tinubu impose even more taxes on electricity and hike tariffs which would effectively raise the suffocating cost of survival for Nigerian businesses, which Tinubu respectfully declined because the tax burden was already provoking mass anger.
So right now, it is highly probable that Tinubu is quietly running to Abu Dhabi to collect a massive, strings-free loan that will definitely not come with painful Structural Adjustment Programmes that would force him to devalue the Naira further, remove more subsidies, or hit Nigerians with heavier, crippling taxes.
This is highly understandable from a purely selfish political calculus. General elections are exactly seven short months away, and the frustrated, hungry, and exhausted Nigerian population could violently rebel against him at the ballot box. So obviously, another punishing World Bank loan is completely off the table for now if the President intends to comfortably return to Aso Rock come 2027.

This is exactly why they have desperately chosen this Total Return Swap loan. This is because Abu Dhabi does not care a single bit about the junk credit ratings of Nigeria, they do not care about structural adjustment programmes, they will not demand Nigeria cuts funding for healthcare, slashes education budgets, eliminates remaining agricultural subsidies, privatizes critical national assets, or forces mass layoffs in the civil service just to qualify for this cash. However, this loan comes with a very strict, highly predatory condition that every single Nigerian should be deeply concerned about, violently reject, and aggressively demand the government immediately withdraw their application for.

First, to even qualify for this $5 billion loan, the Nigerian government must physically hand over sovereign government bonds worth over 133% of this loan, which translates to a staggering ₦6.6 Trillion, directly to the UAE. These Treasury Bills are binding debts that the Nigerian government has legally promised to pay out to creditors, and Abu Dhabi will instantly sell off these bills to the international market to secure their ₦6.6 trillion. These new global buyers will effectively be holding Nigeria's sovereign debt hostage. These private, faceless investors will eventually turn to the Central Bank of Nigeria and violently demand to be paid the interest (coupons) and the massive face value of those bonds. The Nigerian government is now legally, permanently obligated to pay out ₦6.6 trillion of our bleeding taxpayers' money to these aggressive private bondholders.

This is not even the scariest part of this suicidal deal. Another strict, unforgiving obligation of this toxic loan is the terrifying "Margin Call." You see, since these Treasury Bills are heavily priced in Naira, their global value will violently fluctuate depending on how our fragile exchange rate changes. If the Strait of Hormuz is permanently reopened, for example, the global price of oil per barrel will drastically plummet below the $100 mark. This will definitely, immediately impact our Naira value since it will rapidly dry up the vital US dollars flowing into Nigeria, given that 90% of our foreign reserves are entirely dependent on crude oil exports. This means significantly fewer dollars will now be coming into the country, which will trigger massive dollar scarcity. Basic, elementary economics dictates that we should automatically expect the Naira to violently crash to ₦1,600, ₦1,800, or even ₦2,000 per dollar. If this nightmare happens, let us assume the Naira falls by 40%. Then the underlying value of the Nigerian treasury bills issued to the UAE would effectively crash in value by 40 percent. In response, they will instantly issue an aggressive margin call to Nigeria, legally forcing the CBN to immediately, unconditionally transfer $2.6 billion in raw cash directly to the UAE just to keep the loan position open.
Now, pay attention: this massive amount does not even settle the outstanding principal loan, it does not settle the mounting interest on the loan, it is simply a punitive penalty fee that Nigeria must bleed out just to keep the contract active. Nigeria would either have to raid our already depleted foreign reserves (which are supposed to be strictly used to defend the Naira, pay for imports, and secure national stability) just to keep a useless loan position open. If Nigeria does not want to send scarce dollars to the UAE, Nigeria would be contractually forced to issue and blindly pledge an additional ₦2.64 trillion in brand new Treasury bills. Instead of having ₦6.6 trillion in national debt held hostage by a foreign bank, Nigeria would suddenly have ₦9.24 trillion totally locked up. If Nigeria eventually defaults, the amount of national debt the UAE bank can maliciously dump onto the fragile local market violently increases from ₦6.6 trillion to over ₦9.2 trillion, and this would absolutely, mathematically guarantee a total domestic financial collapse.

Look at the tragic case of Angola, for example. Just four very short months after collecting this exact type of toxic loan from JPMorgan, their local currency violently crashed, legally forcing Angola to urgently scrape together and send $200 million in raw cash directly to the American bank, and despite this massive financial bleeding, they eventually defaulted on the entire loan anyway.

This is exactly what every Nigerian desperately needs to understand. Tinubu is not actively avoiding the IMF and the World Bank because his administration has suddenly decided to act sovereign, stand tall, and look for a genuinely better, more respectful lender. This administration is directly, purely avoiding the World Bank because their specific loan will come with heavier taxes, painful structural reforms, and massive public backlash since a highly contested election is dangerously close. But now, this desperate administration is blindly grabbing onto a far more dangerous, explosive, and financially lethal loan that has the direct capacity to cripple our entire economy, destroy our currency, and bankrupt our future faster than the World Bank or IMF could ever possibly dream of.

The society of Nigerian accountants needs to urgently study the complex terms of this toxic loan, hold emergency press conferences, and issue a strongly worded statement to condemn it in its strongest possible terms. The lawyers need to immediately download these predatory loan agreements, study the fine print, dissect the hidden clauses, expose the draconian arbitration terms, file urgent injunctions in federal courts, drag the Finance Minister to the National Assembly, and forcefully petition international financial watchdogs. We, as an exhausted people, need to finally wake up, get angry, and do something concrete, as this is a catastrophic decision that will violently affect our daily lives, our businesses, and our children. Yes, an election is coming, but the election is not tomorrow, the election is not next month, the election is in exactly 7 months, and by then, this financial death warrant would be permanently signed, sealed, and firmly delivered. The House of Assembly will obviously, spinelessly approve these loans without reading a single page because their privileged children, their wealthy families, and their unborn grandchildren will obviously never be affected by the brutal terms of this financial slavery. But we, the ordinary, hardworking, and highly taxed Nigerians, will be the ones totally crushed to the absolute ground when this house of cards inevitably crashes.

Everything I predicted in this 2020 interview with the @BBCAfrica (which they have deleted from their servers), has come to pass in terrifying detail.

It will get SIGNIFICANTLY worse from 2027, if Nigerians, and especially Yorùbás, do not wake up and do what is necessary, before, during and after the elections.

Nigeria will become a WASTELAND, worse than Somalia at its worst, if @officialABAT is allowed to rig himself into office AGAIN in 2027.

You have seen cannibalism among the Fulani Muslim Jihadist Terrorists already.

When cannibalism, driven by extreme hunger, due to food scarcity induced by the Fulani Muslim Jihadist Terrorists massacres if farmers and destruction of farmlands, starts, then those Nigerians that survived until then will wish they had kpaied.

Many see me as a prophet of doom, but their problem is BLINDNESS.

The signs have been there since 2011, and I have been warning you all since then.

I will never claim to have been sent by God, although, the response of Yorubas, especially, makes me begin to wonder why I seem to be one of the handful that seems to see these things clearly before they happen.

the world doesn’t run on a lack of solutions, it runs on which solutions are allowed to exist.

pay attention;

nikola tesla wanted to give the world free wireless energy but when investors realized electricity would be free, they cut off his funding & after he died, us agents took all of his research papers and burnt them cos his discoveries could've changed the world.

stanley meyer built a car that ran on water by extracting hydrogen from it, he even showed it working in public but not long after, he suddenly collapsed during the dinner night. it was reported as poisoning and his invention disappeared soon after.

then eugene mallov, a scientist and former MIT researcher discovered cold fusion could create almost unlimited clean energy so after years of promoting it, he was found murdered under mysterious circumstances. they say his work was too dangerous and will not protect powerful interests, now with his death the breakthrough faded away.

raymond wright, an american inventor who created a microscope powerful enough to see live viruses something unheard of at the time but what shocked people even more was his claim that he built a machine that could destroy cancer cells without damaging or harming healthy ones, he was discredited, murdered, his case was dismissed outrightly and they buried the machine months later.

now, it stops sounding like coincidence right? and you start to notice a dreadful pattern.

the truth is, it’s not that the world lacks solutions, it’s that most solutions are too disruptive to survive, they explicitly threaten power and the govt will do anything humanly possible to protect itself and the system even if it means erasing your existence or taking a life. learn, buena suerte 👍

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

It is deeply terrifying, and frankly a sickening display of comprador treason, that a former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, is now openly calling for foreign military interventions in his own country. It is absolutely shameful and disgusting that a former Head of State, a man who naturally had access to unredacted, highly classified intelligence reports detailing the ruthless mechanisms of Western imperialism, is advocating for the very forces that destroy nations. He has watched firsthand as foreign interventions systematically created burning, failed states across Africa, as seen in the catastrophic destruction of Libya, the endless balkanization of Sudan, the engineered chaos in Somalia, and the corporate looting of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

And this imperial devastation is not limited to Africa alone. If we look at Latin America, we can easily point to the CIA-backed bloodbaths in Nicaragua, the violent overthrow of democracy in Chile, the funded death squads in El Salvador, and the corporate extraction in Guatemala. Yet, this exact same man is confidently sitting on national television, calling for those exact same foreign predators to intervene in his own sovereign country.

Listen very carefully to the treacherous statement he made during his recent AIT interview. He declared, "If our government cannot do it, if they cannot protect us, we have a right to call on the international community."

Now, on the superficial surface, the naive public might interpret this as a bold, direct attack on the current political establishment. But on a much deeper, geopolitical level, this is a calculated psychological operation. This is especially true when you recognize that under this current Tinubu administration, Nigeria has practically surrendered its territorial sovereignty by allowing the US government and AFRICOM to negotiate military drone bases in the North, and by quietly permitting foreign intelligence to dictate our security parameters under the fraudulent guise of fighting "insecurity."

So, this highly publicized statement from Obasanjo is not in any way a genuine attack on Tinubu. He is actually acting as a mouthpiece for the empire, deliberately conditioning the Nigerian people to accept that their domestic situation is entirely "hopeless." He is executing a psychological warfare campaign to prepare the minds of the masses to eventually see heavily armed foreign troops on their soil, not as a hostile military occupation or a nation under imperial siege, but as a miraculous form of "liberation."

But again, none of this is remotely surprising when you consider the source. This is coming directly from Olusegun Obasanjo, the exact same comprador elite who singlehandedly destroyed the foundational education system of his own country by working hand-in-glove with predatory Western and multilateral organizations, such as the World Bank, UNESCO, UNICEF, USAID, and the UK Department for International Development.

It was precisely under the Obasanjo administration in 1999 that these foreign agents engineered the Universal Basic Education scheme in Nigeria, and Obasanjo happily implemented it on their behalf to satisfy his Western handlers. Of course, this satanic program was beautifully dressed in colorful humanitarian costumes and aggressively marketed as a revolutionary scheme that would transform primary education in Nigeria, promising free, compulsory, and continuous nine-year basic education for every single Nigerian child.

But on a structural level, what this neo-colonial policy actually did was permanently sever federal funding pipelines and deliberately starve local teachers of their rightful salaries. Understand that before this World Bank intervention, the federal government had a functional system. Before sharing revenue from the Federation Account among the three tiers of government, the state deducted the total exact amount needed for primary school teachers' salaries and basic operational costs directly from the source.

This deducted money was paid directly into the National Primary Education Fund managed by NPEC. NPEC then disbursed the funds seamlessly to State Primary Education Boards and Local Government Education Authorities. Because the money was safely deducted at the federal level before it could ever reach the greedy hands of state governors or local politicians, primary school teachers' salaries were absolutely guaranteed. This effectively ended the dark era of unpaid teachers and ensured that public primary schools across the nation had a steady, reliable baseline of operational funding.

This protective payment scheme was originally introduced by the Babangida administration because he was being violently forced to cut funding for primary education and healthcare under the ruthless Structural Adjustment Programmes attached to the IMF loans he so happily collected. So, under that specific NPEC scheme, the baseline funding for primary education was temporarily shielded from the austerity measures demanded by his Western creditors.

But the main reason the IMF and the World Bank give you loans is never to actually grow your domestic economy, nor is it to properly fund your educational institutions. Their goal is much more sinister. They seek total economic subjugation. So they absolutely had to kill this financial backdoor that Babangida created, which allowed the state to bypass their financial imperialism. And Olusegun Obasanjo, the exact same man who is shamelessly calling for foreign interventions today, happily welcomed this destruction.

His new UBE system strictly stipulated that federal UBE funds could never be used to pay teachers' salaries or cover daily school running costs. These critical operational burdens were violently pushed entirely back onto the states and the local governments, which are heavily underfunded. Consequently, corrupt governors happily diverted whatever local funds they had to bogus security votes or to paving random roads just to open their states up for foreign corporate investments, leaving the teachers to starve.

Furthermore, the federal government simultaneously stopped direct capital interventions. They stopped building infrastructural projects, they stopped supplying subsidized textbooks, they stopped funding essential teacher training, they stopped providing modern laboratory equipment, they stopped providing mechanized agricultural tools for rural schools, and they completely halted digital literacy programs.

If a Local Government wants to access the trapped UBE funding for these basic necessities today, they are legally forced to meet a ridiculous fifty percent matching fund requirement. The vast majority of these local governments, especially those in impoverished rural communities, cannot even come close to meeting this threshold because they simply do not have any functional way to generate enough internal revenue to meet those strict corporate criteria.

This has created a devastating national nightmare where hundreds of billions of naira are currently sitting idle and trapped in Universal Basic Education accounts in Abuja, while thousands of schools across Nigeria are completely dilapidated and look like abandoned war zones. Students are forced to sit on bare floors, learn under leaking roofs, rely on underpaid and demoralized contract teachers, and buy highly expensive textbooks that the state claims it cannot afford to provide.

This intentionally creates a hyper-polarized, deeply unequal situation in the country where people in the commercial cities have slightly better access to education because their local governments can generate enough money through extortionate market levies, heavy corporate taxes, and federal allocation advantages to unlock these matching funds, while our rural communities are systematically doomed to disintegrate into absolute oblivion.

Also, it was under this same administration that the Christian Association of Nigeria and massive Islamic Associations such as NSCIA, JNI, and JIBWIS actively lobbied the government. These are organizations that receive tens of millions of dollars annually from foreign nations like Saudi Arabia, the US, and the UK under the deceptive guise of "humanitarian aids" and "religious grants". They lobbied the Obasanjo administration to aggressively integrate Christian Religious Studies and Islamic Religious Studies into the core school curriculum, making them strictly compulsory under the Universal Basic Education scheme.

This fatal political concession practically turned our secular school systems into neocolonial theological institutes. It opened the floodgates to seamlessly integrate radical Salafi-Wahhabi doctrines and Western evangelical subservience directly into the Nigerian educational system, effectively weaponizing religion to divide the youth and program them for absolute docility.

It is also incredibly important to note that it was precisely Obasanjo who violently ripped Nigerian markets open for foreign corporations to feast on the blood of the country. He ran a brutal, uncompromising privatization and commercialization program that involved him auctioning off hundreds of state-owned enterprises. He sold off our commercial banks, our national cement plants, our state oil marketing groups, our federal hotels, and our sovereign vehicle assembly plants to the absolute highest bidder, effectively transferring national wealth into the hands of a few comprador oligarchs and foreign cartels.

Because of his policies, most state-owned enterprises today are either fully bought by foreign corporations or they are controlled by ruthless private monopolies. And since they are owned by private individuals, maximizing shareholder profit becomes the absolute, primary goal of the institution, completely disregarding the welfare and survival of the Nigerian people. For example, in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria today, only 49 percent of the joint ventures are state-owned, while the controlling 51 percent belongs entirely to international oil majors. This means that if anything goes wrong in the global oil sector, the prices of fuel are instantly skyrocketed locally, and the crushing economic burden is seamlessly pushed onto the necks of impoverished Nigerians just to keep Western shareholders happy and to balance corporate books on the tears of the masses.

So this is exactly why I am not surprised for a single second that the same man whose neoliberal policies singlehandedly crippled the educational system of the country, who opened our borders for NGO vultures to feast on our sovereignty, who introduced compulsory religious education to aggressively brainwash the masses, and who shamelessly sold off our sovereign state-owned institutions to the highest foreign bidder, is once again sitting on television calling on foreign military interventions to come and occupy the country.

What truly surprises and sickens me is that a large population of Nigerians still hold this man in high regard. They actually believe he is an elder statesman fighting for the good of Nigeria, completely ignoring the glaring historical fact that he was a primary architect in the coalition that maliciously imposed the Western-backed puppet, Muhammadu Buhari, into power, accelerating the total economic and security collapse we are suffering today.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

There was a king of Spain whose jaw stuck out so far his teeth couldn't meet. His tongue was so big he could barely talk. He had seizures. He looked like an old man at 30 and died childless at 39. His entire family had been marrying their cousins for nearly 200 years.

His name was Charles II, the last of the Habsburgs. And he is the textbook case scientists still point to when explaining why countries ban cousin marriages.

The Habsburgs ran most of Europe in that period, and they refused to marry outside the family. Uncles married nieces. First cousins married each other. Royals kept marrying back into the same bloodline, generation after generation, to keep the crown in the family.

Spanish scientists eventually pieced together the family tree to see what this did to their DNA. They tracked 3,000 people across 16 generations. They calculated something called an inbreeding score. It measures how much of your DNA ends up in two identical copies because both your parents inherited it from the same ancestor.

A normal person scores almost zero. Philip I, the dynasty's founder, scored 0.025. Charles II, born about five generations later, scored 0.254. That is the same score a child would get if their parents were brother and sister.

Every person quietly carries a few broken genes. They usually don't cause problems, because the matching copy from your other parent works fine. But when both your parents come from the same closed family tree, you start inheriting the same broken copies from both sides. Nothing cancels them out. They start showing up.

About a quarter of Charles's DNA was identical pairs of these broken genes, which is why his body fell apart. He couldn't have children. When he died in 1700 with no heir, every kingdom in Europe started fighting over who would inherit Spain. The war that followed killed an estimated 700,000 people.

A UK study followed 11,000 babies and found the same pattern. Children born to first cousins were twice as likely to have a birth defect, 6% versus 3%.

Norway banned cousin marriage in 2024. Sweden's ban takes effect July 1, 2026. The Habsburgs ran this experiment over three centuries ago, and the science has been clear ever since.

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

This Chinese Hukou household registration system is exactly what Nigeria urgently needs, and it will serve as the ultimate economic catalyst to drive this country from being a third-world heap of dust into a highly disciplined, industrial superpower hub in Africa.

We need to stop the romanticized lies of unregulated internal migration and face the brutal reality of our collapsing infrastructure. Everybody needs to urgently return home, put their hands in the mud, and develop their individual states of origin. Cities like Lagos, Onitsha, Kano, Port Harcourt, Aba, Asaba, and Abuja are already dangerously overwhelmed, severely overpopulated, and stretched far beyond their elastic limits, while our rich rural communities are left to rot like abandoned ghost towns.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, over 80% of the population living in Bauchi State, Nigeria, are trapped in absolute, multidimensional poverty. Yet, Alhaji Yakubu A. Maishanu, the billionaire founder and CEO of A.Y.M. Shafa Holdings, is from this exact same Bauchi State. He successfully built one of the largest, most profitable, and highly influential indigenous downstream oil and gas companies in Nigeria, with over 150 filling stations, LPG plants, and massive petroleum depots spread across 26 states. But the number of Shafa filling stations in his own home state of Bauchi is not even up to five. This means that over 90% of his massive wealth, fixed assets, and physical investments are spread entirely outside his state, with the vast majority of them operating in the South.

Imagine the structural transformation if, instead of building filing stations in Edo and Lagos, which forces him to pay corporate taxes, land permits, municipal development levies, and expensive licensing fees that only benefit southern states, he took all of this capital back to Bauchi. Imagine if he ordered heavy-duty tractors, automated harvesters, mechanized irrigation systems, and modern processing silos directly from China. This massive investment would not only cultivate the vast, untapped, and highly fertile arable land in Bauchi State to provide food security, sustainable job opportunities, industrial raw materials, and massive local revenue for his own impoverished people, but he would also use his corporate influence and logistics network to secure trade corridors, allowing Bauchi to export premium agricultural products to neighboring African states and even overseas markets.

But this economic betrayal is a national trend. Aliko Dangote, despite being worth over 36 billion dollars and sitting as the richest man in Africa, has almost 100% of his productive industrial wealth concentrated outside his hometown of Kano, choosing instead to build massive refineries, fertilizer plants, and petrochemical complexes in the South. Mike Adenuga, despite being worth over 6.7 billion dollars, has over 95% of his wealth concentrated in the Niger Delta oil fields and the high-rise corporate offices of Lagos, while his own ancestral home of Ijebu-Ode receives virtually none of his commercial capital. Arthur Eze is from Ukpo in Anambra State, and despite possessing a net worth estimated between 2 billion and 5 billion dollars, practically 100% of his liquid and fixed wealth is concentrated completely outside Anambra State.

If you think this demographic and capital flight data is not significant, permit me to remind you that Lagos State alone generates more Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) than all of the 19 Northern States combined. Yet, multi-billion-dollar conglomerates like the Dangote Group and the BUA Group are some of the biggest taxpayers in Lagos, and they are owned by Northerners. Even the vast majority of the Southern billionaires from Igbo and Yoruba ethnicities operating in Lagos are not indigenous to the state.

This is a massive, systemic problem in Nigeria, and this is why I propose a strict Hukou-style system that legally forces people to remain in their various states of origin to contribute the human and financial capital needed to develop those regions.

If an Igbo businessman from Anambra intends to set up a massive commercial enterprise in Lagos, the Lagos State government must treat him as just another foreign investor moving in from Tokyo or London. Let him pay the double corporate taxation, the foreign commercial licensing fees, and the hefty expatriate employment levies required of any foreigner operating a business in the state. If he is not comfortable with these strict financial barriers, let him pack up his capital and take his business back to his own community in Anambra where none of these punitive requirements exist.

This strict protocol must apply to human migration as well. If you intend to relocate from Kano to Edo, you should be legally required to formally apply for an internal visa from the Edo State government. You must state your exact reason for entry, register with local biometric databases, provide proof of financial self-sufficiency, and obtain temporary work permits.

Furthermore, this strict internal immigration protocol will make it much more difficult for terrorists, bandits, and criminal syndicates to seamlessly infiltrate southern forests, smuggle heavy weaponry across state lines, and establish covert operational cells in municipal slums.

When I traveled to Jalingo, Taraba State, in early January, I went around the local towns for sightseeing, and what I witnessed really broke my heart. I visited Tella and Mutum Biyu, and the people living in these communities looked like they had been completely abandoned by their own government. In Tella, for example, there are vast, highly fertile, uncultivated lands spreading across thousands of square kilometers. Yet, right next to these goldmines of soil, you see citizens living in squalid mud houses. Their schools are few and far between, mostly owned by foreign Western churches or Islamic missions, while the few schools owned by the government are a sad sight, looking more like a mockery of human dignity than actual development projects.

The towns are so sparsely populated you would think the youth had been kidnapped en masse from their communities. The small youth population that remains is mostly uneducated, keeping the literacy rate in the entire North below 40%. The tiny fraction of educated youths eventually flee to the South to look for white-collar jobs in banks, corporate offices, technology hubs, and manufacturing plants that are disproportionately concentrated in the South.

Limiting internal migration will also help Nigeria fight its structural war against terrorism. These vast, abandoned, uncultivated farmlands are currently the active training grounds for bandits and insurgent groups. The absolute lack of basic educational and state infrastructure in these communities creates a vacuum that allows hostile foreign agents to easily radicalize our own people, reducing our youth to disposable terrorists and bandits whose sole purpose is to clear the field for the illegal extraction of our rich solid minerals, such as gold in Zamfara, lithium in Nasarawa, and bitumen in Ondo.

The bitter truth we must face is that Nigeria's current free-for-all internal migration is a parasitic system that actively rewards political failure. It allows corrupt state governors in the North and East to systematically loot their federal allocations, secure in the lazy knowledge that their angry, unemployed youth will simply migrate to Lagos or Port Harcourt to drive motorcycles and sleep in urban slums. By forcing citizens and capital to remain tied to their states of origin, we will finally force these local governments to perform, we will force billionaires to build where they were born, and we will finally transform Nigeria into a collection of highly competitive, self-sufficient industrial states rather than a single, collapsing heap of dust.

Anti-Imperialist Commentator: Capitalism Will Be Broken In The Global South

“To understand the paralysis of the working class in the imperial core,” one has to “abandon the illusion of a unified global proletariat,” says anti-imperialist commentator Socialista Champagne.

In this nearly two-minute clip that was publicised on 24 March 2026, Socialista Champagne argued that workers in the imperial core have been integrated into a system of labor aristocracy, where higher wages and welfare benefits are sustained through superprofits extracted from the Global South. By western capitalists in the Global North, of course.

According to her, the comforts associated with the American Dream and European social democracy are not victories over capitalism, but concessions made possible by the exploitation of workers in India and, perhaps, other countries of the Global South.

More so, Western imperialism, which, without a doubt, is foundational to global capitalism, will ultimately be broken in the Global South.
