The kidnappings and brutal murder of school children and teachers in Oyo and other states of the federation have absolutely nothing to do with Islam or the teachings of Prophet Mohammed.
The reason our women and school children in Oyo are forced to sleep in the forests for weeks and are ruthlessly tortured by rag-tag militias is not because of Jihad or Islam or whatever nonsense propaganda the media wants you to believe. The real reason is simply because Oyo state is heavily blessed with massive, unmined deposits of Uranium, highly sought-after lithium, pure gold, and rare earth gemstones.
Now, the good people in Oyo State who are the primary victims of this manufactured insecurity, who are forced to sleep in total darkness and depend on highly expensive diesel just to sustain their petty businesses, may not be aware that they have enough uranium buried right under their feet to build nuclear reactors that could comfortably power the entire country for the next three hundred years.
But this local ignorance is completely insignificant in the ruthless geopolitical arena. Nigerians may very well be kept ignorant, but the Western nations who desperately need this uranium to power their massive industrial grids and nuclear submarines are absolutely not ignorant. The struggling youth in Oyo may not care about the raw gold beneath their soil, but the ruthless financial cartels in Dubai and Switzerland who melt, refine, and launder these blood minerals for American dollars are very much interested in them. The educated middle class in Nigeria, who would rather abandon their country and reduce themselves to overworked cleaners, taxi drivers, and caregivers in Canada and the UK instead of violently challenging the oppressors who have captured their state institutions, may very well be ignorant of the existence of huge deposits of lithium scattered all over the country. But the Silicon Valley conglomerates who desperately need these precious stones and rare earth elements for the new Apple M-series neural chips, Tesla electric vehicle batteries, and advanced military microprocessors are very much interested in these minerals. They will do absolutely anything to violently lift it out of the ground in Africa and ship it directly to their high-tech research labs overseas.
This is exactly why whenever there are sudden insecurity challenges such as mass kidnappings, brutal terror attacks on schools, and massacres at worship centers, there are always massive illegal mining activities running quietly in the background shadows. Indeed, in this year alone, almost forty people including heavily funded foreign nationals have been arrested by our local security agencies on strict charges related to illegal mining. Even a massive convoy of seven heavy-duty trucks loaded with raw uranium and lithium ore was intercepted and seized by state security forces just this year alone in Oyo state.
The terror activities are definitely not a holy jihad. They execute these bloody campaigns to install absolute, paralyzing fear in the local population and violently chase them away from their ancestral lands. Once the villages are emptied, these foreign companies and their local political enforcers can then seamlessly move in with their heavy drilling equipment, excavators, and chemical processors to extract these precious stones to power their trillion-dollar corporate empires.
The brainwashed recruits who physically carry out these terror attacks on their behalf may very well tell their traumatized victims that it is a Fulani agenda to Islamize Nigeria. They may very well release highly edited, pre-recorded videos claiming how these terror attacks are done to honor the teachings of Mohammed. But you must understand that these are all carefully constructed psychological operations and cheap propaganda.
What foot soldiers believe they are fighting for is completely irrelevant. Those ideologies are merely fairy-tale stories created to condition them psychologically to sustain the brutal war efforts for their hidden masters. For example, if George Bush had told the American troops the honest truth, that they all needed to go to the desert and die simply so that American defense contractors and oil majors could make an extra hundred billion dollars in corporate profits, they would have all dropped their rifles and badges and immediately renounced their duties. In the worst-case scenario, they would have stormed the White House, dragged the president out of the Oval Office, poured kerosene on him, and lit him on fire. So obviously, this truthful tactic will never work for any empire.
So instead, these gullible American troops were fed the lie that they were fighting a global "terror regime" that was secretly building weapons of mass destruction to wipe out humanity. This total change of narrative is crucial because the soldiers need to see themselves not as disposable, brainwashed tools fighting for corporate profit margins, but as heroic freedom fighters working for global peace and democratic stability. But at the end of the day, when you ignore the political speeches and simply follow the money trail, you get to understand what is truly happening. When Iraq violently fell, their sovereign gold reserves were immediately loaded onto armored trucks and shipped to the US to be deposited securely into the vaults of Citi Bank and the Federal Reserve, the uranium and critical aerospace assets were seized and transported to hidden military black sites, and the massive Iraqi oil fields were forcefully cleared of their local owners and drilling monopolies were permanently awarded to Halliburton, ExxonMobil, and Chevron.
The exact same imperial logic applies to the bandits and terrorists currently ravaging our rural communities. They may very well look you in the eye and tell you that they want to establish a pure Islamic state. But when the indigenous people are successfully uprooted from their resource-rich communities after relentless kidnappings, systemic torture, and public executions, the very same foreign conglomerates that secretly supply these terrorists with their thermal surveillance drones, high-grade military gear, encrypted satellite phones, and untraceable black-market cash quickly move in and start extracting these resources to be shipped overseas.
Wars are never genuinely fought on the superficial grounds of religion or ethnicity. They are, and have always been, ruthlessly fought over land, resources, and money.
In the case of Nigeria, Salafi Wahhabi Islamic ideology is what they use to brainwash and recruit most of the foot soldiers for this neo-colonial imperial plunder of Africa.
@NigeriaStories Dreams have died. Memories erased. This is not insufferable enough; tell me why we can't hit the streets and boot out this useless and inept government (imposed on us by the West) that watches with a smirk while kidnappers run rampant in our neighborhood.
I've just come out of a conversation with a contact who is engaged in the Sahel, and the one piece of advise I have for the multiple Burkinabés from media, academia and civil society who are currently being contacted by the usual suspects to lend their vocal and intellectual support to the artificial anti-Traoré bandwagon that Paris and DC are putting together is this:
Remember that there is nothing special about you.
The same way they're reaching out to you and acting as if they respect you and your work, is the same way they've reached out to many of us across the sub-region. I promise you are not special to them at all. You're just useful. For now. The respect and reverence they are treating you with is the same affected "respect" they have bamboozled us with for 500 years, because they know that nothing gets a black man's pussy wet like receiving "respect" and "honour" from his European overlords.
They did the same thing in Nigeria between 2011 and 2015. Every squirrel, antelope, Aisha, Dipo, and Japheth who offered even the mildest criticism of Goodluck Jonathan was immediately carried aloft and paraded around as a champion of this and that by the oyibos. It didn't take them long to figure out that "Jonathan Must Go" was their ticket to what seemed like everlasting favours, treats, and funding from oyibo, and they all started unanimously pushing to oust the president that took Nigeria to #1 economy in Africa and 3rd fastest growing on the planet.
Many of these people didn't even dislike Goodluck Jonathan - they just saw that pretending as if Nigeria was being ruled by Pol Pot was their ticket out of poverty and obscurity. Some of them built this career grift in 24 months all the way from Twitter into Chevening scholarships, IVLPs, Mandela Washington Fellowships, speaking appearances in Taiwan, Canadian passports, etc etc. But those were only the lucky few. The vast majority of this demographic got discarded like a used pure water bag immediately the oyibos got their desired regime change.
Since they got their regime change, Nigeria has fallen off a cliff from #1 to #4 in Africa, losing over 60% of GDP in just 10 years. I will repeat that for emphasis. While other countries in Africa grew at 2-5% annually over the past 10 years, Nigeria SHRANK by over 60%, and you can now find Nigerians desperately searching for a better life in Burkina Faso, Algeria, Mali, Libya, Tunisia, Liberia, and even Niger which used to hold the title of "poorest country in the world." Most of the loudmouths who helped make this a reality have fallen back into obscurity and poverty.
Many of them are in their 40s and 50s now, and they're still busy chasing gigs and hunting for $1000 here, $2,500 there. A few of them did become puppet unicorns, but the vast majority are back to being absolutely nobody 10 years after they allowed foreign attention and dollars to override their natural caution and stampede them into the 2nd worst ever national mistake in Nigeria's history after the completely unnecessary civil war.
Many of them walk around in a constant state of confusion now, unable to understand why their lives are much worse nowadays, and the oyibos who seemingly cared so much about whatever they had to say between 2011 and 2015 are no longer answering the phone or replying messages. If you allow these same oyibos to inflate your egos and use it to push your mouths into parroting their narrative for their own geopolitical goals, the exact same thing will happen to you.
Before you allow the thirst for white people's validation and money to shape your responses to the questions they are currently deluding you with, just ask yourself this one question:
All those years when Burkina Faso was the deadest country on the planet and Blaise Campaore's regime was shooting Burkinabés dead in the street, where were all these bleeding heart white people? Why didn't they care then?
Why do they care about Ibrahim Traoré now? What is this REALLY about?

North vs South
Yoruba vs Igbo
Now it's Igbo Musicians Vs Yoruba Musicians.
Tribal war every 2 market days. Isn't this mentally exhausting for you people.
You Nigerians are pathetic idiots who deserve everything the government is doing to you.
“We can collapse the strong pound and dollar if we become the United States of Africa” – Julius Malema
“I have no time for borders; I have no time for colonialism. There are no borders in Europe, but when it comes to us, they say, ‘No, you must have borders.’ Why? The division of Africa is what makes them thrive, they benefit from a divided African continent.
Imagine the minerals of the Democratic Republic of Congo combined with those of South Africa, and a new currency backed by these minerals. Think of what we could do to the dollar if we became a United States of Africa, powered by our resources alone. We could collapse the dollar. We could collapse the strong British pound, which is backed by gold, even though they don’t have a single gold mine. So, why do we continue to allow this?” – Julius Malema
Europe erased its borders, but insists Africa must stay divided. Why? Because our disunity makes them rich. Imagine a United States of Africa, powered by our minerals, with one currency—we’d shake the global economy to its core. The time to unite is now!
A Thread🧵
Burkina Faso’s Pan-Africanist President Ibrahim Traoré expressed gratitude to his supporters for their show of solidarity worldwide on 30 April.
From Burkina Faso to Ghana, from the United Kingdom to Italy, from Jamaica to New York, rallies erupted across the globe in support of Burkina Faso’s Pan-Africanist President Ibrahim Traoré. As one of the most visible leaders from the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Traoré—alongside Mali’s Assimi Goïta and Niger’s Abdourahamane Tiani—has emerged as the spearhead of a revolution to free Africa from the shackles of neocolonialism and imperialism.
@Morris_Monye This government have committed the most insidious and heinous crimes, I'm surprised we're all acting like crybabies instead of hitting the streets and demanding for these rascals to step down from power
Thank you to Everyone who made time to attend the #HandsOffTraore Spaces hosted by my brother @DavidHundeyin and all the phenomenal speakers! Unfortunately I was having technical issues on my side and kept getting dropped! Also it seems the time wasn’t enough even with the 1h30 extension! As promised, this wasn’t just a “Shebeen Talk” Next steps will be announced soon after engagements and consultations with the relevant parties to unleash a Truly Pan African Movement to Fight and RESIST any attempts to undermine our sovereignty. It’s no longer just about Burkina Faso but Africa as a Whole! Aluta Continua
Things like this have literally not happened on our continent since the 1960s. We've been siloed off from each other for decades.
Imagine Anglophones and Francophones embracing each other without a hint of suspicion.
Something very big and very important is happening in Africa.
@DavidHundeyin You couldn't have said it any better. Nigerians are spineless & gutless creatures. If only we could use a fraction of the sheer power used to defend pastors & favorite celebrities, we could really go a long way of riding ourselves of oppressive govt, but NAY, silence is GOLDEN 😞
@USinNigeria Lol. They're not hiding it anymore. Some scoundrels will still think that the West are not complicit in the incursion of terrorism the Sahel
When we told you about the United States being the enabler of terrorism in West And Central Africa, you called us Conspiracy theories.
Don't worry, when the parasitic western world is done with you people, you will all learn geopolitics by force.
@Morris_Monye Akpabio is clearly mocking Nigerians, and this should signal everyone that the incumbent pool of politicians don't care about Nigerians. He has no fear of public dissidents against his comments because Nigerians are known to swallow every insult. We need to kick these folks out.
@ali_naka Not surprised, Algeria is French pu$$y. Ibrahim Traore must LIVE, he holds the torch of African's liberation from the imperialist.
We need an independent media space where we preach & foster Pan-Africanism. So, far, our media space has been Westernized
@General_Somto Africans shouldn't just watch, we need to speak, we need to mobilize, we need to resist and fight these imperialists. Our people need to be enlightened about the demonic and cruel nature of Western hegemony
