🇧🇫 Burkina Faso's Ibrahim Traoré on “Democracy”:

“If someone just comes up to you and starts talking to you about democracy, you'd better run, because democracy kills”

“Is that what we want? Democracy, where children are being killed, bombs are being dropped, women are being killed, people are being killed, hospitals are being destroyed, civilians are being killed. Is that what democracy is?”

“They act as if they don't see it. There they are with their eyes closed. Young Africans must understand that this notion of democracy is false; it is false. It is just a stick that people hold and use against Africans and certain peoples — that is all. We must forget this notion of democracy; we must embrace the revolutionary spirit”

Didier Drogba on CAF's INSANE Ruling:

"My brothers and sisters in African football… today I speak with a heavy heart.
In January, we all watched Senegal fight with courage and defeat Morocco in a historic final.
It was a night of passion, sacrifice, and pride for the entire continent.
From Dakar to Abidjan, from Lagos to Nairobi — Africa celebrated its champions.
But now, months later, a decision taken in a boardroom has changed that story.
The Confederation of African Football Appeal Board overturns the result… and suddenly a victory earned on the pitch is taken away.
This is not just about one trophy.
This is about the credibility, the dignity, and the soul of African football.
Yes, rules must exist. Discipline must exist.
But when decisions arrive long after the final whistle, they create doubt, confusion, and pain.
They make the world question our organisation, our seriousness, our unity.
And we know how quickly critics speak.
They will point to moments like this to belittle the Africa Cup of Nations, to call it chaotic, to reduce its greatness.
But Africa is not small.
Africa has produced giants — players who have conquered Europe and inspired millions.
From Samuel Eto'o to Mohamed Salah, from Sadio Mané to Riyad Mahrez.
Our talent is unquestionable.
Our passion is unmatched.
What we need now is leadership that protects the image of our game.
Leadership that builds trust, transparency, and stability for the next generation.
If justice must be sought, then let it be sought — even before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But beyond this case, we must look within ourselves and ask:
What future are we building for African football?
Because our fans live for these moments.
Our players give everything for that badge.
We must not allow uncertainty and politics to steal the joy of victory from our people.
Africa deserves respect.
African football deserves strong foundations.
We are giants…
and giants must stand tall together."

I strongly believe that if travel was much more accessible to Nigerians, they will demand better accountability from the people who govern.

I’ve been to places much more “poorer” than we are with way better public infrastructure.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

It's not the gulf in standard of living between Nigeria and the industrialised world that bothers me. What terrifies me is the growing gulf between other African countries and Nigeria - that's the one that terrifies me.

Because that's the one that it is impossible to hide from.

I wish more Nigerians could see the world through my eyes and become similarly terrified at how the people they share common looks, ancestry and geography with are evolving into another civilisation entirely without them.

But I'm just one man yelling into a void. This won't change anything. Whoever programmed my people into being this hard-headed and egotistical really did something. That person should receive the Nobel Prize for social engineering.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

If only more Nigerians travelled around Africa, they'd realise that the entire thing of moving to Europe or North America is a completely false and unnecessary choice.

Africa does not look like Nigeria. People actually live relatively well out here. The grimy, hopeless "Africa" you had in Ojuelegba is not anything like the "Africa" that people experience in Gacuriro (Kigali), Kinondoni (Dar es Salaam), Thome (Nairobi), Tema (Accra), Nakasero (Kampala), or Bonoumin (Abidjan).

All of these places I mentioned are not expensive neighbourhoods. Just normal places in African cities where regular salary earners live. And when you go there you will realise that everything you thought you were searching for in oyiboland is available right here in Africa.

You people have this weird idea that Nigeria somehow "leads" Africa, ergo most places in Africa resemble Nigeria or worse. Actually, Nigeria is one of the least desirable places to live on the continent, right down there with DRC, Sudan, South Sudan, CAR, Cameroon and Somalia. Most of Africa does not look like these places.

Africa is actually rather nice.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

It is with the utmost sadness that I once again reaffirm what I have consistently said: Nigeria has become a crime scene.

How else does one explain the recent revelation by the Senate, which uncovered the audited accounts of the NNPC from 2017 to 2023? The Senate uncovered ₦210 trillion in financial irregularities, ₦103 trillion in so-called “accrued expenses”, and another ₦107 trillion in unaccounted “receivables.” No documentation. No accountability. No consequences.

This is not just another scandal, it is a clear and damning confirmation of a nation held hostage by monumental corruption.

Our national budget within the said period of 2017 to 2023 is as follows:
2017 ₦7.440 trillion.
2018 ₦9.120 trillion
2019 ₦8.916 trillion
2020 ₦10.590 was initially approved and in June revised to ₦9.974 trillion due to COVID.
2021 ₦13.588 trillion.
2022 ₦17.130 trillion
2023 ₦21.830 trillion

Total: ₦88.010 trillion

Our total national budget within the said period was not up to 50% of the said financial discrepancies and irregularities.

This is a criminal institutionalised betrayal of the Nigerian people and a grave threat to the future of the society our children will live in.

No responsible nation can continue to function like this without confronting this truth. This criminality masquerading as governance must be stopped and dismantled for a better Nigeria.

A new Nigeria is POssible.

"The American Embassy called and we responded."

And it didn't occur to any of you to question why the US Embassy all of a sudden wants to make friends with Ghanaian social media influencers, YouTubers, and online content creators.

Last week, your president delivered a speech where he rightfully singled out the owner of the US government as the instigator of the 1966 coup that took out Kwame Nkrumah. This week, the US Embassy suddenly invites those of you who have the eyes and ears of young Ghanaians to come to Cantonments and shine teeth and drink juice.

And you don't see how those 2 events are linked.

And you will never see it, because if there is one thing obroni knows very well about obibini, it's that we are the only group of people on planet earth who have been fighting a defensive war for 500 years and still have no idea that we have enemies and we are at war.

Sleepwalkers.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

You're almost getting it. You're this close.🤏🏿

Once you figure out that the sabotage is not coming from within Nigeria, but from London, Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Washington DC and Berlin, then you'll understand why some of us have adopted the positions we have.

When you figure out that Shell Pernis Rotterdam and other oil refiners on Europe's southern and western coasts have been taking significant losses since Dangote Refinery came onstream, and that their number one economic priority for Nigeria right now is to destroy its local oil refining capacity, then you'll understand that economic warfare is real, and that allowing white people to install leaders in Africa is as good as sacrificing your children to them. Because the outcome is the same - no future for your children.

They've not even started yet. Wait until you hear that "Boko Haram" or "Al-Qaida" attacked Dangote Refinery or Walter Smith Rfinery, or BUA Refinery. Then you will see multiple serious-faced, glasses-wearing oyibo journalists and "analysts" appearing on TV to explain why "Islamist militants" are concerned with oil refineries on Nigeria's coastline. The more you deny the evidence of your eyes and brains, the more oyibo will insult your intelligence until you finally get tired of it.

Eventually, you guys will understand why Ibrahim Traore keeps going on about "sovereignty," and walks around everywhere with his full bulletproof tactical gear on. No be say him dey craze.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

No surprises that the majority shareholder of the World Bank (the US government) sees access to electricity in Africa as an economic threat to American interests, because electricity is a precondition for industrialisation, which reduces export of cheap natural resources.

It's no coincidence that the CIA coup in February 1966 that took out Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana happened exactly a month after he inaugurated the Volta River Hydro Electric Project (Akosombo Dam), which was at the time Sub Saharan Africa's largest electricity project (912 MW), intended to supply Ghana's budding aluminium industry.

Industrialisation in Ghana = no more cheap cocoa exports, no more cheap unrefined gold exports, and a powerful Black country with a well-equipped military and globally impactful foreign policy. We can't be having any of that now can we?

The more you know.
