Every Nigerian toddler, preteen, teenager must be taught repeatedly that the US government is their number one enemy in the world.

Nigerian children must grow up framed to protect their society from this Yankee demon.

If this doesn't happen, there will not be a Nigeria or Nigerians to speak of in another 20 years.

Just an empty patch of West African rare earth with a whole lot of mining and extraction going on.

@AsakyGRN It wasn’t built 30 years ago. 30 years ago it had already been abandoned for years!

Israel-US think ‘knowledge can be BOMBED away’

Scientists murdered, nuclear facilities attacked, universities bombed

‘Your actions ooze of desperation and only inspire more pursuit of knowledge..’

My problem with Africans using Lee Kuan Yew as a stick to beat "African leaders" with is your lack of consistency. You hold him up as an example of a leader who did the things African leaders don't do, but you forget that to get Singapore to the point t he left it, he ran it as a laser-focused 1-party state with a ruthless focus on a single developmental strategy that nobody was allowed to oppose or deviate from.

Thus, instead of spending decades on the unfinished capital projects, financial waste, and expensive political theatre that comes with PDP vs APC or NDC vs NPP partisan politics, the whole of Singapore was forced to focus on national development and nothing else. If you tried to oppose Lee's national development plan in the name of "opposition", the state security services would arrest and detain you without trial, or publicly flog you and make you denounce your opposition.

When Kwame Nkrumah tried to institute something similar to make Ghana a laser-focused developmental state under his leadership - which was equal to or greater than Lee's - you bunch of idiots called him a despot and a dictator, and you collaborated with foreign governments to remove him in a coup, after which you came out into the streets of Accra jubilating and celebrating his downfall. And even up till now in 2026, after having 60 years to reflect on your history, you're still calling Kwame Nkrumah a "dictator" while simultaneously glazing Lee Kuan Yew, because you're hopelessly dumb.

You claim to admire Lee's Singapore because it followed a western approved, capitalist development plan, unlike those dirty Communists in China and Vietnam - but you have no idea that Lee's Singapore might be capitalist in name, but runs one of the most aggressively socialist governments on earth, with birth-to-death subsidies, state programs, government housing, guaranteed employment etc. If someone in your African country runs for election using Singapore's welfare state model as their manifesto, you bunch of idiots will immediately start chorusing "Who will fund this?"and" The problem with socialists is that they always run out of other people's money."

If I point out that Singapore can afford to subsidise everything for its citizens because it is a 1 party state that does not exist perpetually 4 years away from new leadership that can rip everything up, which allows it to make investments and plan with 15, 25, and 40-year horizons, instead of planning for how to use the latest IMF loan to win the next election in 18 months, the same idiots will say that they prefer their APC/PDP, NDC/NPP quadriennial stalemate instead of actual national development because "multiparty electoral democracy is the gold standard for governance."

You people have no idea what you want, and no idea how the world actually works. Everything inside your head is what some white dude dictated in there, because you were trained to receive instruction, not to think and create your own. That's why nobody takes you seriously.

The cost of marrying an ambitious man

It’s an elite mindset to live like everything is going to work out. Not necessarily being blindly optimistic, but just knowing whatever happens, you’ll figure it out

Dear people above 40,

I'll advise that you find a social media activity that you would indulge in.

Do it for either fun or money.

It can be X, fb, IG etc.

Have an online presence, & your audience.

You don't need to have very large followers.

As long as a few of your online followers are engaging with you, you'll feel heard or seen.

Life gets very boring when you get to your 40s, 50s and 60s.

And your conventional job would be taking a deep toll on your mental health.

Try to use your social media platform to mentor younger people.

And have a feel of your impact in their lives.

In your 50s and 60s, you would seldom have visitors, or friends reaching out to you.

Your children will be dealing with their own life issues or challenges.

You'll need to keep your brain & mind busy.

You don't even have to have your own page where people come to.

You can find a page that resonates with you, our life experience, your career, etc to engage with people of like minds.

You'll not feel left out or isolated in your ailing health or lonely times.

Even if you're married, sometimes it's not your spouse that you want to engage with.

You just want to engage with strangers to feel alive again.

Old age is lonely.

Even if you have money.

Use social media to rekindle your minds, & extend your time on earth.

End.

MUGABE: YOU DO NOT BECOME A CITIZEN VIA COLONISATION

Pan-Africanist icon and Zimbabwe's first post-independence leader, Robert Mugabe, was born on this day, 21 February, in 1924.

The larger-than-life politician, who died of cancer at age 95 in 2019, was well-known for not holding back when calling out imperialists and their cronies. Mugabe was also passionate about ensuring that the British returned all land stolen during the colonial era to their rightful owners, Zimbabwe's indigenous people.

In this 2009 clip, the straight-talking Mugabe corrected CNN host Christiane Amanpour about Zimbabwe's land reform programme, clearing misconceptions that form the talking points of those against it. Mugabe asserts that one cannot become a citizen through colonisation and then claim a right to land.

This is a message we hope filters through to Zimbabwe's neighbour, South Africa, where, for decades, the government has hesitated to take steps to end glaring land-ownership inequalities between Black people and white settlers. More than 30 years after independence, white South Africans, who make up less than 8 per cent of the population, still own more than 70 per cent of South Africa’s arable land, according to a 2017 land audit conducted by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform.
