Africa’s ruling class isn’t a fully independent bourgeoisie, they’re intermediaries.
They manage extraction on behalf of foreign capital in exchange for personal accumulation
In a 1988 interview, Pablo Escobar said co*caine wasn’t the real problem...hypocrisy was.
He argued that drugs spread because of demand, just like alcohol, and that the US only saw co*caine as dangerous because Colombians controlled the trade.

Nigeria must be OK...
Nigerian history deserves more than scattered Wikipedia pages. For @1000reasons9ja, I created 1800+ dated moments of Nigerian history. You can now trace Nigeria from the 1300s to 2026.
I also added 200 more reasons against T-Pain’s administration.

Welcome to the era of Iran acting as a global player.
For the first time in over 300 years, Iran has proactively taken action to protect its allies, its national interests and stop ongoing crimes against humanity.
I personally want Obi as Nigeria’s president so people can see that you can be upright, be respectful, be a Nigerian, be law-abiding, have no criminal case and still win in Nigeria. Obi’s presidency is good for Nigeria’s moral compass.
Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.
As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.
I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.
Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.
We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.
Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.
A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.
A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO
