Do you know there’s something called “destabilization campaign,” usually used by foreign intelligence agencies like the CIA, against governments that oppose U.S. political and economic interests?

Let me know if you find any of these methods familiar 😉

1. Propaganda and Disinformation: Funding and managing media networks, planting stories, and running psychological operations (PSYOPs) to sway public opinion against the sitting government.

Say me hi to your media houses.

2. Economic Sabotage: Restricting international loans, orchestrating boycotts, and inducing labor strikes to cripple the target nation's economy and create domestic unrest.

3. Political Interference: Funding, training, and organizing opposition political parties, anti-government student movements, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

4. Paramilitary Operations: Equipping, financing, and advising militant factions, insurgents, or sympathetic military leaders to execute regime change.

Yea, the CIA claims they’re no longer into regime change operations so it might just be coincidence that some of the above listed operations have been seen in certain countries recently.

Disclaimer: I think I’m coming down with malaria so don’t take my word for it.

80 years ago no African or Arab man wanted to travel to Europe or America.

It was a Chinese thing until the Western world started bombing and destabilising the Arab and African world in the pretext of fighting Terrorism and Islam.

You manufactured endless propaganda to label these people as terrible people and provided yourself an excuse to kill them just to steal their resources.

Gold, oil, diamonds, rare earth minerals, name them.

You create terrorist organisations, train them, fund them, use them to distbilize regions with huge mineral deposits and weaponize terroism for illegal mining and extracts.

Today the United States is the largest exporter of oil.

As we speak, the Unites States is actively extracting rare eath minerals in Northern Nigeria using their terrorist group Boko Haram and Iswap.

These same people will go on TV and complain of illegal immigrants and how they are a threat to the US and Europe.

The question is, after bombing people from their homes and making them homeless,

Where did you expect they will go?

Definitely the countries where the process of their natural resources is used to develop.

Want to control immigration?

Control the bombs, control the engineered terrorism. And let societies grow and develop naturally at their own pace without interference.

US embassies across Africa are no longer distributing red t-shirts to local communities with solidarity hashtags about missing Nigerian children printed on them?

No one is wearing red and doing daily protests at Unity Fountain? No hijab-wearing lunatics screaming and pouring spit at TV cameras everyday? No one is pasting posters of missing schoolchildren under Falomo Bridge?

Guardian newspaper is not printing a black square with "Where are the girls?" on the top left corner of its front page everyday? American celebrities have not rediscovered their love for kidnapped Nigerian children?

How droll.

Until the 230 million tabula rasas learn to differentiate between their factual reality and the contrived, sponsored nonsense funded by the NED budget for a foreign regime change operation.

Shebi I'm just a "conspiracy theorist" and America has only ever wanted the best for you? Shebi there was no US-led regime change operation in 2015 intended to derail the development of the 3rd fastest growing economy in the world which was on track to become Africa's first trillion-dollar economy by 2024?

Shebi everything that has happened since 2015 including the loss of 65% of national GDP, the generational talent haemorrhage, the total collapse into ungoverned space, the ascension of a drug dealer from Chicago into the presidency, and the creation of a permanent US military base on Nigerian soil for the first time, are all just separate, coincidental events that have nothing to do with each other?

Don't worry, your tears have not even started yet.

You will cry hot tears for help that will never come.

[V @VectorThaViper]

When will you all see that what’s happening ( has been happening ) is the plan?

No be when people get easy life dem go dey ask questions?

Do you stop to think of how the external hands are involved ?

Who are the real Oga’s at the top?

Why do African politicians travel to go and explain themselves abroad if there is “ sovereignty “ / autonomy of decisions?

The more uncomfortable it is here, the more your bright mind export themselves to the root cause of the discomfort.

You don’t have to read all the books to see the pattern that has been on for a lifetime

The way and manner we worship this "Democracy" you would think that democracy is a system our ancestors created, polished and perfected to serve the interest of the good people of Nigeria.

We defend it jealously and weep when its electoral rituals are violated, and then desperately cling to the delusional fantasy that the next ballot will be the magic wand that finally brings us salvation.

Democracy is not indigenous to Nigeria, it was packaged and delivered to us by British Imperialists via gunboats.
But today, we have forgotten who built this altar, who wrote the liturgy, and exactly what god this system was designed to serve.

When the British realized that they could not sustain direct, brute-force occupation of the vast Nigerian territories, Lord Lugard institutionalized a cheaper and more insidious method of subjugation being "Indirect Rule".

The philosophy was simple and straightforward, why should a white man sweat under the scorching African sun, risk being stained with muds,holding a whip when he can elevate a local elite to hold the whip for him?

It was this time that the British Imperialists empowered Emirs, manipulated Obas, and where no central kings existed like the Igbo Kingdoms, they audaciously invented "Warrant Chiefs."
The job of these native rulers was never to serve their own people. There job was to collect taxes, suppress local dissent, maintain the "peace" for British interests and ensure that the wealth of the land flowed uninterrupted to every Metropolis in London.

The native ruler was given just enough power, prestige, and wealth to keep him fiercely loyal to the Crown and entirely disconnected from the plight of his own people.

Today, our politicians do not represent the people any more than the Warrant Chiefs represented the Igbo women they taxed into poverty on behalf of their colonial masters.

Yet, in spite of all this, we cast votes every four years, believing we are exercising the pinnacle of civic freedom.
In reality, we are merely participating in a grand masquerade, selecting the next batch of colonial overseers and tax collectors of this neo-colonial state.

[Onyeka ☭ @R_eq_uin]

My brother in Amadioha, Mr. Donald Trump quite literally kidnapped a sitting president in January of this year, killing dozens (including innocents) in the process.

Next they killed the Iranian head of state PLUS 150+ little children in the process.

They did this during negotiations.

This shit happened like 2 fucking months ago.

Mr. Man, come, are you sniffing petrol?

Wetin we dey yarn sef...

RIGHT FUCKING NOW they are blocking a tiny island called Cuba.

This blockade has caused babies to die in incubators. Bro babies!

All of this has happened just this year alone.

They are doing this in a futile attempt to slow down the demise of their genocidal, parasitic empire.

... And to buy the US dollar a few more years before the inevitable collapse.

Omo bro they bombed Libya from Africa's best economy and country to a place where you can shop for slaves.

They bombed Iraq for fake WMDs.

They bombed Afghanistan

They bombed Syria.

They are bombing Lebanon and Gaza right now via their blue and white aircraft carrier in the middle east.

I imagine that immigrants would be exempt from this. Only those who have recourse to public funds should be involved.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I'm not sure where people get the impression that manufactured insecurity in Nigeria is "sabotaging" Tinubu’s government. Did Tinubu tell you that a safe and secure Nigeria is part of his agenda?

Someone that is a stage actor placed in that seat by his US benefactors to be part of their Kabuki dance as they destroy whatever is left of Nigerian sovereignty?

I think people need to consult history and read about Mobutu Sese Seko. DRC was one of the worst governed, most unsafe, least stable countries in the world under him and the CIA backed him for 32 years. It's not the CIA's business whether its puppet governs a country well or not - in fact the worse its puppet governs, the better for its interests.

The most important thing you need to understand about US foreign policy as an African is that your life isn't just unimportant, but not even a factor at all. "Africa" according to the white people who rule the world, is not a place where 1.4 billion people live, but a stretch of resource-rich land where resources are to be extracted cheaply. Whatever happens to you in the process of that extraction is not the US government's problem, and you need to understand that.

Back when the primary resource extracted from Nigeria was oil, the manufactured insecurity centred around oil installations, and all it did was keep the surrounding areas poor and unsafe, so that at no point was there ever a serious conversation about the effects of oil extraction on those communities. Eventually the American and European oil extraction entities realised that offshore was the real game and they diverted altogether from onshore extraction. Now their offshore operations have little or no interaction with Nigeria, and they are protected by American and Israeli security. Your "navy" and "NIMASA" are basically controlled by Israeli contractors, FYI.

Now that attention has shifted to solid minerals in the middle belt and North, the manufactured violence has mysteriously exploded there. Its only purpose is to depopulate the region and make it available for mining - Sen Riley Moore's recent 'recommendation' explicitly mentioned "cooperation with US mining interests" as a precondition for peace in case you've forgotten.

Tinubu's role is to watch it happen, release a mealy mouthed statement, and do nothing. That's why they put him there. I know it might be hard for you to process, but to understand how the world works, you need to understand that the lives of 230 million Nigerians were never a factor in the decision to impose a puppet president from Washington DC. As far as the decision makers are concerned, this land that contains your ancestors and your childhood memories and everything you hold dear and precious, is just an entry on a spreadsheet titled "Rare Earth Mineral Locations."

They see your entire continent and its 1.4 billion inhabitants the way you see a farm you bought that has anthills on it. Your interest is in what you can get from the soil, not with the billions of ants who call that place home. Unlike during direct colonialism, you can't just roll in the bulldozer and destroy the anthills, so you find some of the ants who are willing to work for you, and you get them to destroy their own anthills.

You deploy an orange beret "Revolution Now" ant leader to misdirect and mislead any ants that want to organise a resistance against you. You deploy "civil society" ants to convince the 1.4 billion ants that what they need is "democracy" instead of organised resistance and obtaining the industrial means to resist. You deploy electoral candidate ants to waste ant resources and destroy, institutions and subvert ant society. You deploy religious ant leaders to teach the ants to pray for individual salvation instead of carry out group resistance. And then you give the bulldozer to Boko Haram/JNIM/ISWAP/RSF ants to physically destroy the anthills, so the ants blame themselves for their own destruction.

Then the farm is yours.

The United States was faced with an energy crisis with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices were hitting the roof. What did Trump do? He quickly lifted sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil, despite being in conflict with both countries.

Under no circumstances should Africa continue to play by the rules set by the US or Western institutions.

These rules are never based on principles. For the West, everything is about self-interest. Africa should do the same and care only about own interests too.

Nigerian mainstream media will never platform content like this.

But they will definitely platform some corn-fed American that spawned out of nowhere, whom even my dead grandma in Badagry can see is clearly an intelligence operative.

But we know why, so no wam.

Everybody will be OK eventually.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Went down the rabbit hole on this. A firefly spends up to two years underground as a larva, hunting slugs in the dirt. Then it crawls out, grows wings, and gets maybe three weeks as the glowing thing you remember from childhood. Three weeks to find a mate and reproduce. Then it's dead.

So when the tweet says "some scientist" warned we're the last generation to see them, that's real. A Belgian firefly researcher named Raphaël De Cock said it, and the clip blew up on TikTok. But I dug into the actual science, and the picture is weirder than the headline.

We know of about 2,200 firefly species worldwide. Scientists have studied fewer than 150 of them. That's less than 7%. Of the ones they looked at, about 14% are at risk of extinction. And here's the part that got me: we know so little about more than half the species we've found that scientists can't even tell if they're dying off. If those mystery species are disappearing at the same rate, 1 in 3 North American fireflies could be in trouble. We might be losing species nobody's even properly named yet.

A major 2024 study by Penn State, the University of Kentucky, and Bucknell examined 24,000 citizen surveys across the eastern U.S. The number one thing killing fireflies turned out to be weather and climate shifts. Their larvae need wet soil to survive those two years underground. Too dry, they die. Too flooded, they drown. The second biggest killer: artificial light. Night skies are getting about 10% brighter every year. A quarter of Earth's land is now lit up at night. And fireflies talk to each other with light. Their whole mating system runs on flashing patterns in the dark. Flood that with streetlights and porch lights, and the signal disappears.

This isn't abstract. In Hong Kong, one firefly species lived along 1.8 kilometers of a single hiking trail. Street lamps went up in 2018 and 2019. The population is gone. Critically Endangered now. In Delaware, the Bethany Beach firefly exists in a few tiny salt marshes, and coastal construction is eating them up.

But your common backyard lightning bug, the one called Photinus pyralis, is fine. Ben Pfeiffer, who runs Firefly Conservation and Research, said it straight: "We won't be the last generation to see fireflies." What's actually vanishing is the variety. The weird ones. The specialists. They get replaced by the one tough generalist that can survive anywhere.

One last thing that stuck with me. A firefly turns chemical energy into light at about 41% efficiency, with almost zero heat lost. Our best LEDs just recently hit about 40%. We spent decades of engineering to match what a beetle worked out 100 million years ago.

And we're blinding them with the lights we built to copy them.
