Rejecting your own citizens for lacking the proper documentation, while calling others xenophobic for insisting that people should have the correct papers to enter and remain in a country legally, seems quite ironic to me.
CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.
One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.
Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.
You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.
The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.
And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.
To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.
You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.
Enjoy.
Europeans during colonialism killed 26 million elephants in Africa, especially in Ivory Coast, just to make piano keys, but today they want to teach us animal conservation. Hypocrites.
When I advocate for seed sovereignty in Kenya, this example from Nigeria illustrates it perfectly.
Communities must always control,breed,share,sell and exchange their indigenous seeds.
Indigenous seeds have been tested and tried through generations and our climate.
The same people behind data centres tell you that 'human-caused global warming' is a threat to our existence. They are LAUGHING at you - especially those that buy the 'global warming' bullshit.
They are the same people who say we must reduce energy use and destroy the environment with wind turbines and solar panels while their data centres consume beyond belief levels of energy and water.
LAUGHING-AT-YOU.
Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
French media confirmed that France and Ukraine are behind the terrorism and instability in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. Once again, the ideology of white supremacy is infested in Africa like a parasite. They can't let us Africans be!
The same African leaders that did nothing when Gadaffi was killed?
The same Africa that watched Nigeria help France bomb another WestAfrican country?
The same Africa that ignored the genocide in DRC and SouthSudan?
The same Africa that ignored Tanzanians when they were killed?
There is really a sinister agenda to flood South Africa with uncontrolled migration. Having the UN SG say there are xenophobic attacks in SA whereas no foreigner has been hospitalised or killed exposes this agenda.
How many black South African kids have died from eating foods sold by foreigners?
How many black South Africans have been raped and killed by foreigners involved in illegal mining.
Silence from the UN : Clearly the lives of black South Africans doesn’t matter to them.
Well duh, because our history is unique and the rest of the continent did not endure settler colonialism apart from Namibia (the only African country that can relate to our struggle).
The fundamental irony is that your own nations gained independence many decades ago yet you are helpless and feel entitled to the resources of a young democracy. You want to leech from the South African infrastructure and resources instead of admitting the catastrophic failure of your own governments.
The contrast between the conduct of South African freedom fighters in exile and the modern wave of immigration into South Africa reveals a sharp divide between political guests and economic opportunists. While the modern narrative tries to equate the two, the historical reality is that South African exiles operated under a very strict code of conduct that respected the sovereignty of their host nations and did not drain the social systems.
South Africa is a fragile democracy that is recovering from the deep and structural wounds of brutal settler colonialism as well as apartheid. When older and well-established nations move their populations into our country, they are burderning our country and also practicing opportunism.
There is something deeply unsettling about nations that have enjoyed sixty (or more) years of idnependence - double the time South Africa has had - fleeing their own self-inflicted problems to settle in a democracy that is still effectively in its infancy.
Your statement also proves that your "solidarity" was a calculated strategy to ensure that you had somewhere to go once the systems of your own countries failed. You people are predators!!!

I love everything about this tweet, it highlights SAn xenophobia, by a dictator who ruined his country to a point where his countrymen are being exploited by the same white men he’s talking about.
Tweeted by a Kenyan, whose country is facilitating Sudanese genocide.
Xenophobia is a direct indicator of social decay. In every African country where you see populations turning violently against foreign nationals, what you are actually seeing is a population that is drowning financially, struggling to find work, struggling to eat, watching their living conditions deteriorate with no credible explanation from the people responsible for governing them.
The foreigner becomes the easy explanation and excuse for a failing state.
What makes it particularly revealing is who they target. They never target the foreign corporations extracting resources at below-market prices. Not the foreign financial institutions whose conditionalities have gutted public spending for decades, not the foreign governments whose diplomatic protection keeps predatory local elites in power election after election. Those actors are too distant and too legally armoured, living behind gates in neighbourhoods that the angry and the desperate cannot reach. So they go after the ones they can reach: the street vendor from a neighbouring country, the migrant worker who is every bit as broke and as desperate and as abandoned by power as they are.
The poor man’s oldest and most reliable mistake is to see his enemy in his fellow poor person. It requires a macroscopic reading of how power actually operates to understand that the Malawian vendor and the South African unemployed youth are not each other’s problem. They are both products of the same system of extraction, the same manufactured scarcity, the same political class that needs them fighting each other precisely so they never turn around and face the right direction.
Xenophobia is never a spontaneous eruption of hatred. It is what manufactured poverty looks like when it finally needs somewhere to go.
The problem is that black people trust the failed system of their colonizers. That system can not succeed without a lower class of people who are treated as slaves. The system works with concentration compounds known as flats or townships, where people are unable to produce food
