To Revive Airdrops, We Need to Rethink Them. ๐งต
First, letโs ask the right questions:
* What is an airdrop campaign?
* Why do projects give airdrops in the first place?
And how essential are airdrops to Web3 as a whole?
Music shapes entire generations, and they don't even have to be aware while it's happening.
It's like Mohbad (Imole) said: "Music no need permission to enter your spirit. Anyhow anywhere you must to feel it."
Look at the impact of Olu Maintainโs "Yahooze" in 2007. It served as a massive cultural catalyst for the "Yahoo-Yahoo" epidemic we see today.
If a single song can shift the youth's moral ideology so drastically, imagine the geopolitical threat of a global icon doing the exact opposite.
That was Bob Marley. His reggae was the psychological spine of anti-colonial revolutions worldwide.
He sang "Rasta don't work for no CIA" because he knew his art directly threatened Western hegemony (aka Babylon ๐คฃ๐คฃ)โ which is precisely why knowledgeable insiders link the CIA to his 1976 assassination attempt.
Look at Fela Kuti. His Afrobeat was an outright declaration of war against neo-colonial puppets. To silence him, the local military government subjected him to over 200 arrests, burned his Kalakuta Republic to the ground, and murdered his mother. If a Nigerian regime used that level of raw military terrorism just to contain one man in Lagos, how hard do you think the global imperial apparatus will clamp down when an artist stands in the way of their entire global agenda?
This brings us to the ultimate end game: Geopolitics and demographic management.
By 2050, Africa will hold the fastest-growing youth population on earth. Nearly 1 out of every 4 people in the world will be African, and 1 out of 6 African will be Nigerian, with 1 out of every 25 random human on earth being Nigerian.
In the cold calculus of Western intelligence, a hyper-conscious, politically literate African youth population is an existential risk to Western hegemony and resource control.
More importantly, you must know that the mortal fear of the West is that if they fell out of power, others would do to them what they've done around the world for centuries.
So they figure that if a demographic giant wakes up to the frequency of Felas and Marleys, they will become completely ungovernable.
So how do you control a population that massive without deploying armies? You do it through the algorithm. You fund and amplify a modern, sanitized music industry that rewards escapism, hyper-individualism, and material wealth over consciousness.
By filtering out the revolutionary spark, the global imperial apparatus achieves ultimate containment and neutralization. They don't need to assassinate the prophets anymore ("how long shall they kill our prophets...?"); they just use music and entertainment to turn a potential revolutionary generation into completely redolent, bio-pliable 'fauna'.
@CollinsEres_@Juniorl5yl@Justkennyson@elonhatedera Weโre talking about current league quality, CURRENT oh.
Right now EPL quality is higher but it doesnโt mean la liga cannot overtake them a few seasons from now..
Thereโs a line from Roy Keane autobiography in 2002, where he talks about the mentality of the United team in the first 15 minutes of games. Iโm paraphrasing, but it was along the lines of โwe know we have more quality than any other team, the only thing the opposition could ever be better at than us is intensity and fight. So for the first 15 minutes we always go out high intensity, starting from the tunnel. We let them know within 15 minutes that they wonโt even beat us at duels and battles, then when weโve killed their spirit, we start playing footballโ.
That was a treble winning captain talking about running and dueling first, before anything. No great team is 20th in running.
A disgrace.
@mftopboy@roydey4u Babe wey dem go dey knack wetin no good for school, even guys wey no dey up to your standard go knack your babe your eye go clear.
Dey there dey play fatherly role o ๐
@the_4mula@khadijahzakari_ Why would you allow an house help dress like they want in your home?
Probably itโs because you already have the intention to fuck her, no?
@khadijahzakari_@Gaanda123 You made it about him, him feeling good or not is not the point of the discussion.
Face the poster for his or her stupid caption.
@BIGRASH49@_AYO234@amostodays@immazems@IfeDada2@CodeMayor The waste has to go somewhere and move timely, when the government fails to do that you will see wastes in places they shouldnโt be.
In some areas they pile the wastes in their dustbins outside and it smells badly. The government must work nonstop for order to be maintained.
@AbdulDgreat@iam_sarmuel@Adikastakes Ndiaye was underwhelming in his first season though, I kept rooting for him cos I was a fan even from championship
Itโs a self-inflicted loss of self, trading mutual respect between age mates for a fragile sense of status.
The entitlement and double standard arenโt caused by marriage or children, in fact they are chosen. Itโs just early-stage narcissism dressed up as maternal respect.
This is exactly what some women mean when they say โmarriage and childbirth made her lose herself.โ
She freely calls you by your first name, yet suddenly demands formal address the moment you do the same all because she is married with two kids.
That is not elevation or growth.
Weโre age mates,u address me by my Name โ Nikeโ. Then youโre angry the day I addressed u by your name as well. Ur excuse is โ Iโm a married woman with 2 kidsโ u shouldnโt address me by my name..
some of u are mad,and Iโm here to tell u.
Anyways, Iโve blocked the idiot.
In my 25+ years on earth, the only times Iโve ever heard of someone complain about these things are from my sister and my female friends who had a friend they knew tell them to not use their names again since theyโve given birth.
Hence, I believe this is a feminine madness.

@only1Robinl@deckofcardds He was also bad defensively against sabah but the assist and crosses covered his defensive shakiness, their winger on the right almost scored and assisted on two different occasionsโฆ
@sociaIprefect@deckofcardds No, he was telling bruno to mark the man on the wings because he had already made up his mind to charge into the midfieldโฆ
