Read up Malabu-OPL 245
largest oil block in Nig
Abacha refused to give Shell control of it
April 1998, he instead set up a company to drill the Oil locally. June 1998, he was killed
2001, Obj seized the local license n gave it to Shell
We can't drill our Oil till date
This is why when they say Nigeria or Venezuela's economy collapsed due to "Oil crisis" I laugh
Knowing it's yet another brainwashed retarded NEGROPEAN reciting useless imperialist plausible deniability.
Oil crisis but Oil suddenly become 10x profitable when U.S privatize n control the nation's Crude Oil.
A clear example is 🇬🇭Ghana, the Gold business was profitable when during Colonial era when Britain controlled Ashanti Gold Corporation, despite the cost of running a colony, lesser machines at the time.
It's 1960s post colonial era n Ghana has taken back their Ashanti Gold Corporation from British control. Something Britain doesn't like.
Coup n overthrow of Nkrumah to install their favorite
1994, IMF forced J.J Rawlings to privatize Ashanti Gold Corporation n take it public, not on Ghana's stock market but on New York stock market where they can control it.
And suddenly Gold became unprofitable for Ghana. They dollar printers manipulated the price of Gold to an extent AGC was on the brink of bankruptcy.
2004, the imperialists finally got what they want. They bought AGC for dirt cheap n suddenly Gold is now profitable.
Same playbook in 🇳🇬Nigeria's Oil sector🔽
"Bola Tinubu and Shetima know everything insecurity going on in Nigeria, I have served in the battlefield, won awards in this military 🪖 service worldwide, we are telling you if you allow Tinubu and Shetima to continue in office your lives are doomed"
A Yoruba highly decorated retired military officer warned Nigerians
In 1976, Nigerian journalist Sam Ogun confessed to DRUM that he had spent nearly 10 years spying on Nigeria for the CIA. He also warned that many other Nigerians were being recruited to infiltrate different sectors of the country.
He told the magazine, "The CIA has so many arms or branches — trade union organisations, educational institutions, cultural organisations. The CIA is the father and through these organisations which are sent to Africa to help developing countries. The agents or officers of these organisations use their organisations as covers to spy for the CIA."
Ogun said Nigerians could be recruited without knowing it, benefiting directly or indirectly from development programmes run by organisations he claimed were linked to foreign intelligence networks.
"You don't apply to be an agent or spy. You are spotted, trailed, and an assessment is made of you without your knowing," he said.
His own career as a spy began in the early 1960s, when he worked as an "information officer" for the American Motion Picture Export Company. An American film distributor known as Jack paid him to write reviews of foreign films for local newspapers, which were then forwarded to New York. Ogun said that was how he was first placed on a payroll.
He later confessed to spying on foreign diplomats, trade unionists, civil servants, students and fellow journalists. He said he was trained to use a camera and a pocket-sized tape recorder designed for espionage.
Ogun eventually retired from spying and explained his decision to confess: "I found out by myself the evil the CIA had been doing to Africa."
Your post is a buffet of logical fallacies — from straw man to false equivalence, and everything in between.
1. False Equivalence
You equate village witchcraft — which you qualify as non-existent — to documented foreign intelligence operations.
The CIA, MI6, and Western foreign policy subversion in Africa are matters of declassified historical record — from the assassination of Patrice Lumumba to the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah. Attempting to equate real global power dynamics to 'non-existent' witchcraft is premium gaslighting.
2. Straw Man
You have invented a caricatured version of David's work (and the work of others who highlight these issues), presenting them as lazy people who do nothing with their lives but blame the CIA.
The truth, ironically, is that these geopolitical realities are analyzed by some of the brightest minds on the continent and beyond — scholars, professionals, and creators who are actively contributing value to society.
3. False Dilemma
You impose a terrible shackle on the necks of your readers by pushing the narrative that Africans can either take personal responsibility or critique global geopolitics, but never both.
On the contrary, we can work and watch like Nehemiah’s men. We can educate ourselves on geopolitical, economic, and historical realities while simultaneously taking a stand to better our localities.
4. Ad Hominem
You provide no data or documents to disprove any specific information or claims made by David Hundeyin and others.
Instead, you resort to character assassination and making disparaging remarks about people's mental health. Your piece reads like a panicked diversion from the actual matters raised.
Next time, bring facts, names, and documents instead of emotional manipulation and gaslighting.
@DnAenterthevoid@CryptoMuse01 They give o. If they didn't, they might be blind sided by a new wave of neocolonial independence, so they do so that they must nip it in the bud.
@CryptoMuse01 The most annoying thing is we know it happens to everyone else, we see it happening, Venezuela isn't laughing, Cuba isn't laughing, Iran isn't laughing, china isn't laughing, china also kills CIA agents & traitors 24/7 but Africans? Africans apparently live in a pocket dimension
The chicken that escaped the slaughter, ran back to warn the others.
It narrated to the others what happens outside their warm, provisioned cages:
The horror, the slaughter, the death... And how their death and pain created food for others.
He revealed their enemy to the ones that fed and watered them — the ones that seemed to care for them.
They laughed their heads off, deriding the survivor. Although they had indeed noticed that the best amongst them had been getting missing — taken never to return. But to protect their own peace of mind, they clung to the comfort of the status quo.
To them, the predator was an invisible myth; and the familiar could be managed.
So they laughed hollow, broken laughs to drown the warnings, and danced harder to hide their doubts.
And no, this story is not about chicken.
With the way Nigerians constantly repeat this "hold your leaders accountable" phrase, I'm starting to suspect that this might be the work of some western funded NGO or think tank.
They don't want words like "revolution" to proliferate in our mainstream political consciousness.
This tweet is evidence that people just say anything and hope that it sticks.
The Vatican legally launched the transatlantic slave trade via 15th-century Papal Bulls (Dum Diversas) ordering the "perpetual slavery" of non-Christians.
Institutions like the Jesuits and Church of England directly owned plantations and sold enslaved people for profit.
Protestant sects were equally complicit; the Anglican Church owned branded slaves, and the Southern Baptists fractured from the North specifically to defend slavery.
On May 25, 2026, Pope Leo XIV issued the historic papal encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, explicitly apologizing for the Holy See’s institutional role in legitimizing and justifying the transatlantic slave trade.
There are too many people in Africa who are convinced there's something wrong with the black man intrinsically.
"Na this skin, na im be the problem. White man no dey reason like this".
This is a horrible way to reason.
If you deem the only thing you can't change about yourself to be the source of your problem, then obviously, it will never be solved.
"Hold your leaders accountable" is a intellectual sedative.
It sounds righteous, but means nothing practically.
Well, it does mean something.
The true aim of those who words is to keep the African participating in cycles of ineffectual charades and never really punch up.
@nr_xix@Jochainzz Take into cognizance the fact that before 2015, western media kept repeating the warning that Nigeria would disintegrate or become a failed state.
I think they succeeded on the later count.
@joaosphinx@Saint_Iykay@GodstimeAtas Oh. I'm fine with the Chinese. I thought you were talking about the europeans.
I dont think the Chinese even do colonization. At least not beyond their own immediate borders.
