@JackPosobiec I took the boys to ride the train in Lagos Nigeria

What do you notice?

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@Khayree408 @Brekbeat_Summer @tariqnasheed I knew there was an illiteracy crisis but I'm begging you, go and see a psychiatrist or take English language comprehension lessons please! 😂

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@Khayree408 @Brekbeat_Summer @tariqnasheed Did u go to school? This is something different, what I showed are distant relatives who share the exact same copies of specific genes that can only be found in blood relatives, this is a guestimate based on ur recent ancestry in the USA. & This is ancestry not 23&me, a diff site

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@Khayree408 @Brekbeat_Summer @tariqnasheed Nope, it shows where their grandparents were born & it's all in USA, & this is just one example out of many. Also don't forget a 5th cousin generally means a shared ancestor from around 1770-1800 which tracks with the timeline as at least one child of this ancestor was trafficked

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@Brekbeat_Summer @tariqnasheed Obviously have to cover up this person's identity to not dox them but there were 100s of people like this

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@utdbrxy Exactly, and it makes you think that there for sure are 100's of world class players in places like China but instead of going to play ball they're off to the factory or farm to work

@plantbasedkadaf Two reasons
1.
Precolonial west African empires and kingdoms were the largest on the continent and spanned across the borders of many modern day countries.

2.
ECOWAS has freedom of movement meaning if they felt like it a Ghanian could legally move to Ivory Coast or Nigeria.

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@GodstimeAtas What these idiots don't understand is that this is what Elon Musk, Trump and the rest are loading for them. If it's not pernament servitude they will take Western Cape from them and there will be no one to support them

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@afrojudaic @KaramaSeal Exactly, and those isolated mud huts they love to show are in rural areas, those were never what precolonial urban Africans were living in. And funnily enough climate differences aside it's not that different from what pre industrial rural Europeans were living in.

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@R_eq_uin To say then was a period of comfort isn't true imo.

What 1st needs to be done before anything else is to increase food production in line with population and instill pride in communities, you can't have pride and deep care for 🇳🇬 if you don't even care about your own community.

@Xtopherewesi It's because Nigeria doesn't focus anything on their field athletes, our focus is mainly on track

@abuotor I get your point, but at this stage something new and experimental needs to be attempted. To even become competitive for a medal we need to shave off at least 2 seconds from our current pb which is definitely possible, but we can't keep going on with the same old strategy

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@doctolu If you don't take pride in your own community, how can you ever take pride in the affairs of the whole country? Anti-corruption starts with civic discipline. There is 0 incentive for leaders to fix structural issues until a disciplined pop demands it, by 1st setting the standard.

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@godly36525 @Aboh_II @imoteda The UK collects over $1.24 trillion USD in taxes yearly for a population of 67m, compared to Nigeria's $30 billion for 240m, so obviously there are much more public services ,but when there are shortfalls yes people come together to clean their community https://t.co/UzlooIv0eq

[IUIC LONDON @IUICLONDONUK]

CROYDON Community Outreach Clean-Up Was A Success!

Israel came together to let their light shine, showing care and responsibility by cleaning and beautifying the community.🧹🧤

Thank you to everyone who participated. Stay tuned for future opportunities to make a difference!

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@Aboh_II @imoteda Idk where you got patriotic grifter from but Rwanda’s anti-corruption works because of civic discipline, not instead of it. Nobody is defending corruption here, but leaving your drain blocked to prove a point to a bad government only punishes yourself and your neighbors not them.

[Tonye @TonyeTin]

@doctolu My point is that humans can do more than one thing at once, you as an individual can keep your community clean by not littering and cleaning the drains that impact you, whilst also pressuring the gov to create an institutional fix. Rwandans dont just wait for gov, they just do it
