The thing about imperialism is that it is ubiquitous and impossible to avoid.

Nigerians who think they can have intelligent discussions around politics, economics and business without acknowledging imperialism are just like a castrated man who wants to marry a wife and have kids, but doesn't want to acknowledge his condition.

I'm sorry, but just because you're in denial, or the subject makes you uncomfortable, or you don't want to upset your white friends and investors by talking about it does not mean that this 800-foot elephant in the room is going to disappear.

The imperial system you live under is why you eat imported rice and your bread is made with imported wheat, while your own agricultural land is used for industrial monoculture plantations growing export crops you can't eat like cocoa and cashew.

Imperialism is why your kid goes to school wearing a neck tie, a wool sweater, a thick blazer and cotton socks while the temperature outside is 33⁰C.

Imperialism is why you put on your TV news and the presenter is chewing her tongue desperately trying and failing to mimic the accent of a public school headteacher from Abingdon-on-Thames, whereas literally nobody in the history of her watching audience has ever sounded like that.

Imperialism is why your central bank interest rate is always double digit, which means that consumer credit is literally nonexistent. No amount of roundtable sessions, seminars, and breakfast meetings with the bankers committee and PhD economists can change that basic eternal reality of your economy.

Imperialism is why despite having double digit central bank lending rates, your currency somehow manages to always face inflationary pressure and regularly posts double digit percentage losses in a single day. You can do all the clever economic chart drawings and financial engineering you want, but they are completely useless in the face of imperialist decisions like Structural Adjustment Programs, which you experienced by other names from 1986 to 1988 and from 2023 to 2025.

Imperialism is why you can have all your lovely ideas for leadership and governance, and a young population that is hungry for good leadership, but everytime you go into a "democratic election", you end up coming out with Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu. You can read all your "Why Nations Fail" and do all your "PVC sensitisation drives" and do all the "protect the votes" on election day, and at the end of all the wahala, the INEC chairman will announce that a crippled goat with craw-craw has won the election and if you don't like it you will go and meet Kekere-Ekun in court.

Imperialism is why when you are having sex with your partner, you moan in English and make American noises even though you've never left Owerri before, and your sexual encounters always happen with a specific sequence that starts from oral and culminates in doggy - it's because all the porn you have ever watched in your life has been hosted and curated by American platforms, and you have over time taken on their sexual personality as your own.

Imperialism is why you build with cement blocks plastered with concrete in your 34⁰C climate, even though concrete generates vast amounts of heat as it cures, and it can take years to fully cure, during which time it slowly cooks you in your own house - but rammed earth which your ancestors used is only just becoming a thing once again because white people have "discovered" it and put a brand on it that makes it desirable after they once labelled it as 'primitive'.

I could go on and on. As long as you're determined to avoid confronting the ubiquitous and all-pervasive reality of imperialism in Nigeria, you're not really ready to confront whatever problem you are facing, from food to healthcare to education to public policy to poverty.

If you're not acknowledging that underlying reality, you're just another Nigerian wasting their whole life performing the appearance of thinking, and creating useless content.

NIGERIA 🇳🇬 IS ABOUT TO LOOSE IT'S FOOD SOVEREIGNTY 🚨

Nigeria’s National Assembly is currently pushing HB 2659 (the Nutritionists Registration Council of Nigeria Bill). While lawmakers claim it's meant to "stop quackery," civil society groups are raising serious red flags about what this bill actually hides.

local chefs, traditional food experts, and elders who pass down indigenous food knowledge will face heavy fines or up to two years in prison for practicing without a corporate license.

Section 32 of the bill also allows this new regulatory council to accept foreign funding and grants ( Bill gates and his GMO guys).

If this bill is passed, traditional chefs who do not follow the standard being set by bill gates, through Nigerian law makers, will face 2 years in prison and a heavy fine.

This is why the Western nations are only interested in democracy! A revolutionist military govt is too difficult to deal with. The deep state includes the corporation, billionaires, the banks, global hegemony etc. They're mostly interested in resources and the wealth of the world

The West didn't end colonialism. They rebranded it as development.
The formula never changed: debt and dependency for the obedient, sanctions and coups for the defiant.
We understood the trick early, never bowed, paid the price and humiliated the Great Satan.
One more blunder by the US and its myth is over.

[West Africa Weekly @WestAfricaWeek]

The $31 billion wig industry was not built by accident. The West criminalised Black hair, sold Black women chemical relaxers that cause cancer, and then profited again when the damage forced them to buy wigs. Schools in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa still shave girls' heads. Nollywood still links natural hair to poverty and wigs to success. Over 12,000 lawsuits later, the truth is out. Wear what you want, but know the economy behind the choice.

Niger built forty-nine factories in one year while the West and France called it a pariah state. The poorest.
One year. Forty-nine industrial units. Six hundred and sixty-five point seven billion CFA francs mobilized from Nigerien pockets and partners who do not demand structural adjustment in return.

Nine thousand two hundred jobs for a population that was told its only future was aid dependency and exile. Large-scale factories. Medium-scale workshops. Small-scale plants.
All of them rooted in Nigerien soil, hiring Nigerien hands, and keeping Niger wealth inside Niger borders.

Part of my process of growing up and jacking out of the US imperial matrix was discovering that there is literally an entire WORLD of TV and cinema outside of Hollywood, and that I did not *need* to enage with ANY American entertainment whatsoever as long as I could deal with the tiny, 1-inch-high inconvenience of reading subtitles.

Nowadays, having discovered Chinese, Korean and Japanese TV and film, I look back with so much scorn on the version of myself that was caged by Amerislop. I watch and read so much content from non-Western sources that I even realised that the so-called "Hero's journey" format of basically every Amerislop storyline is not a hard and fast rule of storytelling, but just some shit that a white guy made up - there are so many other even more entertaining story formats and styles in the world.

The empire's greatest psy-op is to successfully convince you that it is the entire world, and that its Amerislop makes up the majority of human cultural output. That shit is a lie! It's the same old bait-and-switch they do by taking something free or plentiful, then monopolising it and making it scarce, or using marketing to convince you that it's scarce even if it's not, so that they reap super profits from your desperation or FOMO.

Whether it's Sam Altman saying he intends to "put intelligence on a meter" so that you become dumber and you have to pay ChatGPT to do what you currently do for free inside your head, or it's Nestle and Pepsico saying that "water is not a human right" so that they can control what is free and sell it back to you, or Hollywood convincing you that Amerislop is the best or only entertainment available to you (despite tehre being a TON of substitutes), the basic oyibo business model is the same - capture your imagination and force you to pay for the privilege of being enslaved.

Jack out of the matrix and come join us in the big world outside. It's great here!

INEC REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO CREDIBLE 2027 ELECTIONS, SEEKS STRONGER MEDIA PARTNERSHIP AT GOCOP CONFERENCE

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reaffirmed its commitment to conducting transparent, credible and trustworthy elections in 2027, unveiling measures to strengthen electoral technology, protect election results and combat misinformation ahead of the polls.
The Commission also urged online publishers and other media organisations to prioritise accuracy, responsible reporting and voter education as Nigeria approaches the 2027 General Elections.

The INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, made the call in a keynote address delivered by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Lagos State, Prof. Ayobami Salami, at the 10th Annual Conference of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP), held in Lagos on Thursday, October 8, 2026.

The conference, themed “2027 Elections – Trust, Transparency and Shared Responsibilities,”brought together media professionals, election stakeholders, academics, civil society organisations and other participants to examine the role of public confidence and shared responsibility in strengthening Nigeria’s democracy.

With 98 days to the January 16, 2027 Presidential and National Assembly Elections, Amupitan said INEC had recorded significant progress in implementing its statutory timetable and strengthening its operational, technological and logistical capacity.
He disclosed that the Commission had embarked on a multidimensional overhaul covering election administration, technology, logistics, staff capacity and field readiness.
According to him, INEC’s operations are coordinated through 23 headquarters departments and directorates, 36 state offices, including the Federal Capital Territory, and 774 Local Government Area offices nationwide.

Providing an update on voter registration, the INEC Chairman disclosed that the three phases of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise conducted between August 2025 and July 2026 captured more than 10.6 million new voters.

He said the development had brought Nigeria’s National Register of Voters to a historic 103 million registered citizens following the completion of data processing and synchronisation.

Amupitan announced that nationwide collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) would commence on Friday, October 9, 2026, urging GOCOP members and other online publishers to mobilise registered voters and provide accurate information on designated collection centres.
He stressed that the media had a critical responsibility to ensure eligible voters were adequately informed about the collection exercise and other activities on the electoral timetable.

On the deployment of technology, Amupitan highlighted upgrades to the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the enhanced eEC8A system, designed to improve the electronic visibility of polling unit results.
He also disclosed that the Commission was deploying artificial intelligence-supported auditing and strengthening its cyber-defence systems to protect electoral databases and critical infrastructure.

The INEC Chairman, however, cautioned that technology alone could not guarantee credible elections, noting that electoral trust must be earned through consistent, verifiable and transparent implementation of the electoral process.
He said public confidence depended on faithful compliance with electoral laws, effective logistics, internal discipline and transparent communication with citizens.

A major focus of the keynote address was the growing influence of digital media on electoral credibility.
Amupitan warned that fake news, unverified leaks, sensational reporting, politically charged narratives about violence and AI-generated deepfakes could undermine public confidence, heighten political tensions and discourage voter participation.
