In her award-winning novel "I Do Not Come to You by Chance", Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani exposed the inner workings of Nigerian 419 email scams.

But there is a bigger, more dangerous scam running across Africa today. And it’s not being run by internet fraudsters.

It's the scam we're running on ourselves. Here is the breakdown:(1/3)

@noksy_k @noksy_k meet @WithBukky - She's looking to create a research community for researchers to connect, learn, share ideas, and support one another.

@WithBukky - see your tribe.

[BUKOLA @WithBukky]

I want to create a research community on X where researchers, students, academics, and anyone interested in research can connect, learn, share ideas, and support one another.

A space where we can introduce ourselves, share our research interests, discuss opportunities, ask questions, and connect with people in our fields.

If you’d be interested in joining, reply “I’m interested” and let me know your field/research area.

Everyone must join the fight! It has gotten diabolical & started feeling like a deliberate attempt to cripple minds. We're fighting for basic education while Ibrahim Traore is advocating for his people:

- Education as a revolution of the mind: Africa’s future must be built at home - beginning with a "revolution in the minds" of the next generation, where patriotism, self-reliance, and service are treated as being just as vital as any standard classroom lesson.

- Cultivating the Common Good from an Early Age: Our curriculum must explicitly teach that it is the duty of every citizen to seek the good of their country.

- Aligning education with national needs: Education obtained abroad must be directed toward national development not serving external interests.

- Redefining Development through the Classroom: We must define development in our own words - respect for our land, our people, and the soul of our nations.

@awuoshee @guyotieno Na English je? That one irks me the most.

Certificates say you showed up.
Portfolio says you can deliver.
Build both. But don't confuse them.

[Elizabeth Amisi @EAmisi]

@xysist @140ngera @shadrac_matata I see it differently. They may determine how you start. But only you can determine how you finish. To allow your mind to accept different is to cripple yourself -literally nip yourself in the bud.

[Elizabeth Amisi @EAmisi]

I love this. If you haven't inherited it, you can choose to create it or you can choose to feel tormented & play the victim.

Also we need to qualify 'success in life in later days'. Who decides what good looks like here?

A uni student taking a critical thinking unit said the lecturer spends his time telling students to think critically, without actually telling them how to do it or what that would look like.

I like the question you raise. Perhaps we need to breakdown what the characteristics of 'upright' thinking are.

[Elizabeth Amisi @EAmisi]

@SimonMwachi 👏Watching. Keep going - and more grease to your elbow.

While we wait for perfect governments, our fortune remains trapped in untapped competence, counterproductive mindsets, and unexpressed wisdom.

The work to reclaim our future cannot wait for the next election. It starts with taking matters into our own hands.

I love this story – Tutalia if we don’t direct these young people properly. Your first job is about making yourself valuable, learning what you’re good at, what you enjoy and even what’s not for you.

At that tender age you might be working for the money - yes. But primarily you need to be working to build yourself - Treat that low-paying first job as a paid apprenticeship and focus on building high-value skills, expanding your network, and mastering the industry. What you gain is yours to keep forever.

[Elizabeth Amisi @EAmisi]

Yes – And there’s a second thief of progress running alongside it - The crippling fear of social judgment.

Moving forward requires reaching a point of strategic defiance and absolute indifference to external validation - where the opinion of onlookers is secondary to mission.

Because unfortunately when you can't afford to lose, you can't afford to learn.

One thing poverty stole from a lot of people is the ability to make mistakes.

Every decision has to work.

My Beloved African,

I greet you in the name of our ancestors and the future of our children.

I do not come to you by chance.

If you’re seeing this message, you have been specially selected through divine favour and after careful search. Out of millions, you have been chosen for an important mission.

There is a massive fortune - estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars - currently trapped in a very powerful, very stubborn, and very wicked account. This capital has been restricted for decades within a formidable yet inefficient and corrupt system, hindered by bureaucratic red tape, foreign intervention, short-term strategies, political finger-pointing, and competing ideologies.

Every year, more wealth is added to this trapped fortune which never reaches the rightful owners; we the people and our children. I bring good news; This fortune is ready to be released.

However, I cannot release it without your help. I have been authorized to contact a very limited number of serious and capable Africans who can help unlock it.

All I need from you is very minor assistance. I will need you to pay a small advance fee. Believe me - what I am asking for is very small compared to the gains to you.

Here’s what I am asking you to do. (1/3)
