I studied architectural design in Cameroon and every architect they taught me was European. Every movement, every theory, every name on the required reading list. The Great Mosque of Djenné, the Moorish arch, Great Zimbabwe never appeared on any syllabus.
Now I am studying management and every economist is Western. George Ayittey, a Ghanaian who built an entire economic framework for African development, has never appeared in a single lecture. Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian economist who argued that Western aid is destroying African economies, same.
Two disciplines. Not one African name in the required reading.
This is not only an architecture problem. It is medicine, law, economics, history. Every field is taught through a foreign lens and when a student tries to think beyond it they are disciplined for it.
We are not behind because we lack knowledge. We are behind because we were taught that ours does not count.
These SA xenophobic groups will eventually restructure, get the funding they need and metamorphose into a proper unstoppable terrorist org.
We’ve seen this play out over and over in Africa… that country is will use its own hands to buy market, this is just the starting phase.
I wonder whether anyone has ever considered selling garri water in packaged form, such as in plastic sachets or bottles. Like flavoured garri drink or ready-to-drink garri water.
These are the same people that are meant to be angry at South Africa o. Nigerians are very unserious people, and it’s the reason I no dey pity anybody again.
As of 2026,
- Nigeria has 300,000+ illegals migrants from Ghana, Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Benin.
- 870,000 identified foreign nationals overstaying their visas from South Africa, China, India, etc
- 127,000 asylum and refuge seekers majorly from central Africa.
Guess what, Nigerians don’t even care more less going about killing them like you murderers in South Africa.
2. Any Nigerian above 21 that is complaining about delays with getting PVC. Your stupid self had 4 years to sort that thing out after the last election, knowing its notorious track record. If you’re older, you’re even way more stupid. So just get out of my sight.
There are 2 categories of people that I don’t pity:
1. Any Nigerian that is still in South Africa. I don’t care if you’re even just visiting, your stupid self should’ve learned to leave that country alone for years now. Whatever happens to you, take it like that.
@jegedekayode__ He has never lived in Nigeria… but he has a lot to say about the fictitious Nigeria that he cracked up in his head.
I don’t blame him, I blame the people that find him funny.
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”
The most impactful protest that Nigerians can have is not some random pockets of organised gathering on a random day.
The biggest one would be people coming out enmasse during elections, flooding polling units in such absurd numbers that riggers are scared to even move mad.
The first shock of my life as a Nigerian while growing up was when I went to some of my friends’ houses and I discovered that they used to thank their parents after eating.
I find it really weird that all my life in Church i was told that when you pray you also take actions
If you pray to pass you also have to read
If you pray to get rich you also have to work
But somehow we are told to pray for Nigeria and not hold our leaders accountable
