The best thing you can do for yourself as a Nigerian is to use that internet connection of yours while you still can, and follow/read/watch information from a wide variety of sources from all over the world.

Your Nigerian media is a Europe-US information cage. When I say "Nigerian media", I'm not just talking about news platforms. I mean your popular social media bloggers. Your big content aggregators. Your online discussion and image boards. Everything is bought and paid for, and the money is always European or American.

Do yourself a favour and unplug.

Look for news, web content, TV series, movies and discussion forums from Asia, Latin America and other parts of Africa. Watch Brazilian TV shows. Watch Chinese documentaries. Watch Vietnamese movies. Follow social media content creators from Indonesia and Russia. Lurk on Pakistani message boards. Gain a wider picture of the world while you still have access to a relatively open internet that allows you to do so.

It's the best thing you can do for yourself.

Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you:

1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency.

2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads.

3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower.

4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes.

5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?)

6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have.

7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.

8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.

9. No great power gives a single fuck about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end!

Why are American/Israeli bot farms now repurposing their clearly western bot handles to have poorly constructed Nigerian names?

Why is "Laura Vasil" with zero Nigerian content now "Ayomide Olamide"?

You people think all of us are stupid, but you may be the stupid ones in fact.

I've just come out of a conversation with a contact who is engaged in the Sahel, and the one piece of advise I have for the multiple Burkinabés from media, academia and civil society who are currently being contacted by the usual suspects to lend their vocal and intellectual support to the artificial anti-Traoré bandwagon that Paris and DC are putting together is this:

Remember that there is nothing special about you.

The same way they're reaching out to you and acting as if they respect you and your work, is the same way they've reached out to many of us across the sub-region. I promise you are not special to them at all. You're just useful. For now. The respect and reverence they are treating you with is the same affected "respect" they have bamboozled us with for 500 years, because they know that nothing gets a black man's pussy wet like receiving "respect" and "honour" from his European overlords.

They did the same thing in Nigeria between 2011 and 2015. Every squirrel, antelope, Aisha, Dipo, and Japheth who offered even the mildest criticism of Goodluck Jonathan was immediately carried aloft and paraded around as a champion of this and that by the oyibos. It didn't take them long to figure out that "Jonathan Must Go" was their ticket to what seemed like everlasting favours, treats, and funding from oyibo, and they all started unanimously pushing to oust the president that took Nigeria to #1 economy in Africa and 3rd fastest growing on the planet.

Many of these people didn't even dislike Goodluck Jonathan - they just saw that pretending as if Nigeria was being ruled by Pol Pot was their ticket out of poverty and obscurity. Some of them built this career grift in 24 months all the way from Twitter into Chevening scholarships, IVLPs, Mandela Washington Fellowships, speaking appearances in Taiwan, Canadian passports, etc etc. But those were only the lucky few. The vast majority of this demographic got discarded like a used pure water bag immediately the oyibos got their desired regime change.

Since they got their regime change, Nigeria has fallen off a cliff from #1 to #4 in Africa, losing over 60% of GDP in just 10 years. I will repeat that for emphasis. While other countries in Africa grew at 2-5% annually over the past 10 years, Nigeria SHRANK by over 60%, and you can now find Nigerians desperately searching for a better life in Burkina Faso, Algeria, Mali, Libya, Tunisia, Liberia, and even Niger which used to hold the title of "poorest country in the world." Most of the loudmouths who helped make this a reality have fallen back into obscurity and poverty.

Many of them are in their 40s and 50s now, and they're still busy chasing gigs and hunting for $1000 here, $2,500 there. A few of them did become puppet unicorns, but the vast majority are back to being absolutely nobody 10 years after they allowed foreign attention and dollars to override their natural caution and stampede them into the 2nd worst ever national mistake in Nigeria's history after the completely unnecessary civil war.

Many of them walk around in a constant state of confusion now, unable to understand why their lives are much worse nowadays, and the oyibos who seemingly cared so much about whatever they had to say between 2011 and 2015 are no longer answering the phone or replying messages. If you allow these same oyibos to inflate your egos and use it to push your mouths into parroting their narrative for their own geopolitical goals, the exact same thing will happen to you.

Before you allow the thirst for white people's validation and money to shape your responses to the questions they are currently deluding you with, just ask yourself this one question:

All those years when Burkina Faso was the deadest country on the planet and Blaise Campaore's regime was shooting Burkinabés dead in the street, where were all these bleeding heart white people? Why didn't they care then?

Why do they care about Ibrahim Traoré now? What is this REALLY about?

Ex Nigeria soldier narrates how army leadership deceived them into Boko haram ambush— this is heartbreaking 💔

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Millions of people in DRC - the world's wealthiest country by mineral resource endowment - are forced to rely on motorised wooden boats like this as their primary method of transportation because the country has not been allowed 5 minutes of peace to build infrastructure as basic as roads.

Katanga rebellion today, M-23 tomorrow, something else the day after. It's always *something.* All of them externally armed, funded and backed by Belgian, French, Swiss and American entities that want cheap access to Congolese minerals even if it means 100 million Congolese human beings have to die meaningless deaths like this.

Foreign interference is not a victimless crime.

One major reason people are screaming on Pi is because Core Team has echoed non-conformist, the GCV DELUSIONAL army, and the fact that the ecosystem promises to deliver high but yet to show it.

The Core Team is making matters worse by their poor communication, poor transparency, and not migrating old accounts with large Pi.

The market is generally bearish, Pi has not performed badly.

The @PiCoreTeam is not desperate to list just any project that will be detrimental to the Pi community.

Below is the Listing criteria.

Mainnet Listing Requirements

The Ecosystem interface on the Pi Browser, a platform to showcase the utilities built by Pi developers and connect them with Pi’s vibrant network of over 60 million engaged Pioneers, features a dynamic directory of Mainnet and Testnet apps. This interface offers Pioneers an easy way to discover and interact with many Pi apps.

To be eligible for listing in the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface, apps must adhere to Pi Ecosystem standards and requirements. While developers are free to design their own UIs, the Pi Ecosystem only lists apps that align with Pi’s ecosystem principles—such as maintaining a seamless user experience within Pi and not simply acting as funnels to external platforms. There is nothing inherently wrong with external links or alternative designs, but the Pi Ecosystem prioritizes apps that contribute meaningfully to the network’s growth and utility. Many apps that do not get listed simply result from a misunderstanding of these expectations, rather than outright rejection.

This page will outline the key listing criteria, clarify common misconceptions, and provide guidance on how to meet the standards. If your app meets the criteria, it may be listed. If it does not, it will remain outside the Ecosystem Listing.

Deliver a Fully Functional App with a Professional UI

Your app must be fully operational with a clean, user-friendly interface. All interactive elements should function correctly for a seamless experience. A polished UI improves user trust and engagement.

Complete KYC Verification

Developers must complete KYC to verify their identity before submitting an application to list. This safeguards the Pi Ecosystem by seeking to prevent fraudulent actors. While KYC cannot fully prevent a developer from acting maliciously, it may reduce that risk, and also serves to provide a reference point for their identity in case of disputes. The Pi KYC app does not verify an app’s legitimacy; it simply confirms that the developers have submitted their identification documents, which have been reviewed and approved by validators.

Avoid Trademark Violations

Your app’s URL/domain must not start with “pi” or misuse Pi branding. Avoid using Pi’s official logo, colors, or design elements. Maintaining unique branding prevents confusion and legal issues. Please read Pi Trademark Usage Guideline Blog for more details.

CompliantNon-complianthttps://www.bananas.comhttps://www.pibananas.com

Use Only Pi Authentication

Apps must integrate Pi’s Authentication SDK for user logins. Other login methods, such as email or third-party accounts, are prohibited. This ensures a secure and standardized authentication process.

Pi-Only Transactions

All transactions must be conducted in Pi, with no support for non-Pi Tokens or fiat currencies. This will help the Pi ecosystem and community showcase its utility while protecting users.

Avoid Redirection to External Sites

Apps should not redirect users to external websites, apps or services. Keeping users within the ecosystem enhances security and trust. External links increase risks like phishing and scams. Redirection to external services will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, based on their absolute necessity.

Limit Data Collection

Only collect user data essential for your app’s functionality. Unnecessary collection of personal information, like emails or phone numbers, is prohibited unless required for the app’s functionality. This ensures there are clear data policies which help maintain user privacy and compliance.
