This young man makes a sensible comparison between the Indian and Nigerian communities in the diaspora, and how they behave differently when they move to Canada or the UK.

There are vital lessons we can learn here:

Yes the culture is rooted in patriarchy, but that doesn't make it all bad. In some cultures, it is the opposite.
In 2026, most of the issues you raise here are family issues. They are handled strictly by the family.
Yes, if you do not get married, the culture adequately provides for you.
If you get married and do not want to leave, surely, that is an arrangement that you have to agree on with your husband. If he is happy moving to your home and your family is happy to have him, I don't see how anyone can stop you.
If you marry and do not want to change your name, again, that is your prerogative. If you and your husband agree to this and he even wants to go a step further and take your name, no one can stop you. I am not aware of any Igbo tradition that forces you to take a new name or move from home. These are "practices" that have over time become accepted as norm. Do not confuse them with tradition.
As a matter of fact, the real Igbo tradition will encourage you as the only child of a family or one in which there are no male children, to sit at home and have your children from wherever you want and as many as you want. They will all bear your father's name and all of you will have full rights of inheritance. As long as you are not married, every child born there belongs there.
So we have CHOICES.
Society has to be organized and every action will have a corresponding effect.
Imagine a society where there are no ground rules. Anyone can do whatever they want. I can come from Ogidi and insist on being the Igwe of Nnewi. Why not?

There’s an entire epistle called the Kissinger Report, published in 1974 on the importance of keeping Nigeria poor.

52 years later, an idiot with a twitter handle, who has not read any of the publications,

who has not gone to the EU’s website to see why terrorist are being reintegrated into Nigerian Society

Who does not even understand the vast amount of resources in terms of hard minerals and human capital that Nigeria sits on

Comes online to make a post about Nigerians overestimating themselves.

You’re an adult. Do research before you speak.

You can’t keep walking around with the intellectual capacity of an earthworm

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

They’ll probably come for my head, but I have to say my piece.

Ladies, women, and mothers should also teach the other women in their lives not to kiss a man they have no intention of having sex with. I think it would save everyone a lot of headaches.

Self control has to work both ways. It should be your watchword. Self control is not something only men should practice, and you shouldn’t hold a man accountable for your own lack of self control.

A man’s self control begins the moment you clearly state and consistently demonstrate through both words and actions that you do not want to have sex. His responsibility at that point is to respect your decision and leave you alone. Whether he remains friendly and cozy with you or becomes distant is beside the point; he has respected your choice.

Your self control, however, begins much earlier. If you do not want sex, don’t create situations that could reasonably be interpreted as romantic or sexual invitations. Don’t be kissing, cuddling under a duvet, or engaging in intimate physical behavior in a private, cozy setting. Set a firm and clear sexual boundary, no blurry lines, no gray lines, clear black lines.

Don’t kiss, don’t make out, and don’t engage in intimate physical affection if you know where your boundaries lie. Men, unfortunately (or fortunately), don’t come up with terms like “silent coercion” to paint themselves as victims, but I’ll coin one for them: “false green light.”
Your first rule should be: “If I don’t want it, I’m not going to take a bite.” If I don’t want him to eat the bone, I’m not going to throw it at him.” That’s how you discipline yourself and hold yourself accountable. You’re not a child. Grow up and make firmer decisions.

Teach your daughters that it’s perfectly fine if a man no longer wants to provide the same level of intimacy after you’ve said no. If you’re uncomfortable with the change in atmosphere, get up and leave. Go home. Not being cold toward you and continuing to spend time with you isn’t necessarily proof that he’s interested in you beyond sex, this is where most ladies get it wrong.

Teach your daughters that self control starts with them. Teach them not to give a man a false green light. Most importantly, teach them that it’s okay to go home. Home is sweet.

Or maybe we should all return to the old ways of courtship, where parental supervision played a greater role.

@i_mideee The big problem is that most Nigerians think like the 2nd person, everything is a “mystery” even when the answer is staring at you right in the face

China's policy towards religious organisations is not a matter of persecution but as a matter of national sovereignty and protection against foreign interference.

In China, churches must adhere to strict Socialist Core Values of the state. This means that God must speak Chinese; it must be a God that approves of socialism and the collective advancement of the people.
Hard work is not a "hustle" for personal gain,it is a sacred social duty to the motherland.
Religion is required to teach kindness toward fellow citizens, regardless of their faith, stripping away the sectarian divisions that imperialists use to "divide and conquer."

The individual must be loyal to the nation above all else. Instead of focusing solely on the narcissism of "personal salvation" or the greed of "individual prosperity," the believer is required to see wealth as a national collective and a resource to be used for the upliftment of the entire society, not the enrichment of a few.

This is in direct contrast to the Nigerian model, where churches are nothing more than neo-colonial projects designed to keep the African mind in a state of perpetual subjection.
These churches project Jesus as a "White European" and the devil as a "Black figure," a psychological assault that forces the believer to worship their oppressor and fear themselves.

These churches weaponize "grace" to convince believers that regardless of how hard you work, your labor is meaningless without the "favor" of a distant, foreign deity.
This effectively creates millions of working class population who would rather pray for miracles instead of organising a rebellion to reclaim their resources and force the state to work for them.

Furthermore, these institutions have turned the spiritual landscape into a fragmented marketplace of artificial division. Every "General Overseer" acts like a corporate CEO, peddling their own "brand" of God as the only one that works.
This effectively creates a state of theological balkanization, so while the masses argue over which church has the "true" interpretation of a foreign book.
This internal rivalry is a gift to the imperialists; it ensures that the people are too busy competing for "heavenly ranking" to form a unified front against material exploitation.

In Africa, these churches teach a predatory, hyper-capitalist worldview where "Prosperity" is a private gift from God rather than a right earned through sovereign development.
The believers are subconsciously programmed to see poverty as a spiritual "curse" rather than the cold, hard reality of state failure and decades of Western-engineered debt, IMF-imposed austerity, and the systematic exploitation of African resources.

This was at Goldman Sachs Recruitment Day in 2019, at Victoria Island, Lagos (similar to Shell's Recruitment Day).

I didn't make the cut then because there were badder guys from UNILAG, OAU and co, who were and are witches and wizards in coding.

Anyway, my team came second overall and I used sweet mouth to present our technical solution.

This was Goldman Sachs o, able to assemble at least 200 bad guys within Lagos (the picture doesn't show the full hall, which is quite sizeable).

But one bros who knows the local ecosystem more than oyinbo said we don't have world-class talent.

Anyway, most people in this picture had sponsored flight and relocation benefits to the UK and other countries shortly after this picture was taken.

However, you still have people like this within Nigeria's shores.
