The cabro being installed in Nairobi will never be completed. It is a forever Project designed to create hopeful chaos. Material everywhere, excavated dirt on footpaths etc. to create an illusion of a city that is under construction but in reality is to mask incompetence

Watu, hii stori ya “cash crops” must stop with us.

The colonial-era policy was to make Afrikan agriculture serve European industry.

Sugarcane, coffee, tea, etc are crops we cannot eat, must sell to live. 1–3 years to mature, and the crops have only one buyer route: the colonial marketing board.

Dismantle the structure!

The Jay Z and J. Cole jabs are the highlight of ICEMAN for me, because I always knew both relationships were destined to fall apart. One was an idol he eclipsed, the other a rival he tried to coexist with. He shrank himself around both to soften the reality of his dominance.

Niliquit 9-5 ilikuwa inanilipa 150k/month.
Imenitake two years for my company kunilipa 67k/month na nafanya kazi from 7AM to 11PM every day, na sometimes unapata uko na employees wanakupea the hardest time ever, na kuwafuta kazi ni even more expensive.

Every month uko na bills za kulipa in the millions, end month kila mtu ako happy isipokuwa wewe juu uko na another 30 days kuraise another million. Na imagine all this trouble ndiyo net salary yako ikuwe 50k

Sometimes doh haitoshi unasema wacha ulipe the employees alafu KRA utawatumia yao by 9th, unajaribu kupata loan bank inakataa juu hauna shamba ya security, inafika 15th unapata weird calls, unashika unapata ni KRA, unawaambia utawalipa next Friday, wanakuambia Friday haiwezekani, labda Thursday. Inabidi uongee with one of your clients akulipe mapema, anakusomea akikuambia biz haifanywi hivo but anaitikia eventually.
Next week inafika unalipa KRA, SHA,NSSF, Housing Levy. Unahave some peace kidogo only to realize that next week ni end month na this time uko na deficit kubwa kushinda last month, and the cycle continues.

Kama uko 9-5 na uko sawa, I can’t advise you to quit. Heri ujaribu entrepreneurship in parallel but usiquit job yako. It feels good when you tell people that you quit your job to pursue your dream but you also need to understand that your dream will take time before it starts paying the bills, and it might also die before you eat a shilling from it.

[Dr. Miguna Miguna @MigunaMiguna]

Let me repeat this for the benefit of those who missed the memo or those suffering from the Stockholm’s Syndrome:

[1] Replacing a tyrant like Ruto, Museveni, Biya or Suluhu with another Western imperialist mascot who has no VISION (philosophically, ideologically, politically, economically and institutionally) to OVERHAUL the entire SYSTEM and TRANSFORM it, is a waste of time. It amounts to recycling cancer. It will keep eating away our cells and body.

[2] To liberate Africa or any African country, we must remove all imperialist and Zionist assets from power, OVERHAUL the entire SYSTEM and TRANSFORM it in order to create a merit-based society aimed at achieving SOCIAL JUSTICE and EQUITY for all.

[3] Anyone seeking power without a clear vision, progressive ideology, transformative policies and programs aimed at overhauling the entire system and transforming it is a conman or conwoman whose intention is to inherit the STRUCTURALLY DEFECTIVE African state in order to continue perpetuating the culture of impunity we have suffered under since the invasion of Europeans on the continent. Therefore, scrutinize and interrogate everyone’s representations, purported vision and ideology.

[4] Those speaking about “the main thing is to remove Ruto now then we will do the rest later” are the usual agents of confusion, opportunism, Zionism and imperialism whose primary purpose is to use fraudulent means to attain power then betray the people the same way Ruto and others did.

Don’t ever say that you weren’t warned.

One day someone will write the history of Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a nation destroyed by greed.

You know that episode of Rick & Morty where Rick reveals that there is an entire civilisation of people living inside his car battery who don't know that the sole purpose of their whole existence is to generate electricity to power a mad scientist's wacky space adventure car?

That is where Nigeria is right now, and that's why I am militant to the point of putting myself in trouble by talking about why Nigerians need to stage the most bloody and violent revolution Africa has ever witnessed. Because entire future branches of history are being wiped out because young Nigerians are trapped in an economy whose job is to make white people and a tiny Nigerian minority rich at the expense of 230,000,000 people like this.

This 19 year-old kid already has the sagging shoulders of a 47 year-old man with the world's weight on him, and he has already learned to not expect anything good to ever happen to him in life. All it took to show him a fork in his future trajectory was a fucking $47 tile cutting machine, and he's now going to hold on to this new opportunity and make a better life for himself - but there are literally millions of him out there that will never meet a benefactor, or that don't even have the skills needed to maximise this opportunity.

There is only ONE entity in any African country that has the power to carry out interventions like this in people's lives on a large scale - the state! A content creator can change one life like this and get viewed 10 million times, but a government can change 10 million lives like this without batting an eyelid! Only the government has the transformational capital and the incentive to do this in millions of lives!

That is why being led by people who don't work for you is a literal life-and-death matter! When we talk about neo-colonialism, this is what the fuck it is about! When you have a government installed by foreigners, which allocates billions of Naira in public revenues to enrich foreign intelligence assets like Gilbert Chagoury via transnational corruption schemes like the nonexistent "coastal highway" - this is the result!

Nigeria's money is not being used to invest in the lives and betterment of Nigerian people! It is being used to enrich white men in Washington DC who are already richer than God, with a fraction going to their local collaborators in Abuja! This kid and millions like him are the direct victims! Their future possibilities and bloodlines are being extinguished with poverty so that Peter McBillionaireStein and Matthew Von WhiteManBerg in Manhattan and London can increase their Q3 dividend payout by 15%. Neo-colonialism is not a victimless crime!

You are all living inside Rick Sanchez's car battery!

I don't usually like anybody, so the contrast is immediately clear.
