Two years ago we talked about the profitable business of selling Jesus. A lot of people called me to wail and mourn my departure from “spiritual things,” whatever that meant.
Well, since nothing has changed, I’m here to tell you again that there are wolves leading sheep in the vineyard. One day we will chase all these people alongside their cousins in politics.
For the record, people from countries that have never had a successful modern revolution need to learn to sit down and shut up more often when those with actual revolutions in progress are going about their business.
If Burkina Faso is receiving criticism from Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Cuban, North Korean or Iranian sources, such criticism can be taken seriously and acted on. The source makes the critique valid because they've actually been there and done that.
But if the criticism is coming from our chronically online brethren in White-istan, their cousins in Epstein-istan, and their eternally hapless southern vassals in Arab-istan and Afristan, it has all the value of a Child Rights bill sponsored by Ghislaine Maxwell.
If you haven't figured out how to stop your own taxes from being directly used to fund the wholesale murder of Sahelian villagers, Congolese shopkeepers, Iranian schoolchildren and Palestinian olive farmers; if your own government has revealed that it is controlled by a network of rich White-istanis who eat cute little white girls with pigtails and call their meat "jerky" and you did absolutely nothing about it except make upper case tweets with lots of exclamation marks, your opinions about Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso, the Sahelian Alliance, or any other anti-imperial project are completely worthless and nobody needs them.
That Palestine flag on your Twitter display name has zero revolutionary value and nothing you say has any value. At best, you're a cheerleader and nothing more. So stay on the sidelines, wave your internet pom-poms and learn to shut the fuck up while the actual players on the field get things done.
Rant over.
Never forget: communism in China began with professors organizing Marxist study groups among students at Peking University in Beijing.
Philosophical ideas discussed in classrooms can eventually shape the course of history.
@OyomwanO When will I stop seeing trash like this for goodness sakes 🤦🏾♂️ Tribal bigots everywhere. Na watin una sabi do..Divide and rule still in play in 2026 omashe oo😪 Na watin dey do us for south be dat…That’s why they’ve written y’all self-destructive rubbish off. Y’all don’t matter
@1804zzzz@NigeriaStories NDLEA, NAFDAC and Nigeria custom or even more agencies will be created to regulate the market. I don’t think there will be any room for black market traders unless you’re into local sativas. I believe that’s where all these is headed
Here is the most important thing to understand about the argument you are making.
It is not new.
Every generation of people who have benefited from the extraction of African wealth has produced a version of your argument to explain why the extraction is not the explanation.
In the 18th century it was: they are heathens, without Christian civilization they are nothing.
In the 19th century it was: they are savages, the white man's burden is to civilize them.
In the early 20th century it was: they are childlike, they need colonial administration to function.
In the mid 20th century it was: they are not ready for self-governance, independence is premature.
In the late 20th century it was: their cultures are incompatible with development, corruption is intrinsic.
In the 21st century it is: they choose not to educate themselves, they are savage toward the volunteers who try to help, look at the IQ map.
The conclusion is always the same: the people being extracted from are the explanation for their own condition.
The mechanism changes every generation.
The conclusion does not.
Because the conclusion is not the result of the analysis.
The conclusion is what the analysis is constructed to protect.
You are not making an observation about Africa.
You are participating in a long, self-serving, continuously updated tradition of providing intellectual cover for an arrangement that has worked very well for some people and very badly for others.
An arrangement that requires, in every generation, a new vocabulary for the same old story.
The story is old.
The vocabulary is yours.
But the function is identical.
@GodstimeAtas Just see how inferiority complex is eating deep into these wandering souls. Artificial eyebrows, artificial eyelashes, artificial facial skin tone, colored lips and even more. Our so called “leaders of tomorrow” who don’t even know themselves. Na next generation go fight am.
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.
@Joe__Bassey Here with some historical facts about naija. In d year 1855 d old calabar palm-oil trade was worth £500-£700k a year at dat time. Also long after civil war nd slaving crisis plunged Benin into decay, d remnants of dat Benin would still command d wonder of Dutch visitors.
@NigeriaStories Until una state police shoot innocent Uniben student for airport road because of iPhone… Edo no go contain violence wen Dey come hmmm I jus Dey laff
O MAIOR EXPOSED DO ANO E NINGUÉM TÁ FALANDO SOBRE…
Simplesmente usuários do Reddit expuseram que a empresa Amazon e o Vinted estão permitindo anúncios de crianças à venda de forma velada.
Os ped*filos usam da seguinte estratégia: anunciam brinquedos, ursos, bonecas e roupas de bebês com preços absurdamente caros que não condizem com o valor do produto, e na descrição, colocam as características da criança.
Na descrição, colocam informações como “prematuro”, idade, cor dos olhos e cabelo, quantos kg pesa, altura e gênero.
A plataforma Amazon está apagando comentários que falam sobre essa situação e o Vinted limitou os comentários de todas as redes sociais, não deixando ninguém comentar.
Quem for pesquisar sobre isso no tiktok, verá que todos os usuários que expuseram essa nojeira alcançando milhões de views estão tendo seus vídeos banidos da plataforma.
Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.
Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.
Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).
A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.
