So if Alex Onyia didn’t decide to take these kids to Rome, you mean the world would not have seen us win gold?

Some other country would have won and we would have thought they were the brightest on earth?

Bad Governance is hiding the greatness of Nigerians.

I’ve said on previous tweets that Nigerians are the brightest and smartness people on earth. No enabling environment to showcase that brilliance.

There is a video of Africa's richest man saying that he has had to obtain 35 different visas just to be able to travel around Africa. A random homeless drunk from Hamburg who has never held down a steady job has more access to Africa than Africa's richest man on account of the complete accident of German citizenship and ancestry.

That should be the end of the conversation about whether identity or social class comes first. Dangote comes from the highest possible social class in existence on the continent of Africa, but by default he still has fewer movement privileges ON HIS OWN CONTINENT and in the world outside than the lowest born 6-fingered European orphan with Downs Syndrome.

To get the same movement and access privileges as the European retard orphan, Africa's wealthiest human being would have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a foreign passport that gives him what the orphan retard baby born in a brothel in Naples gets automatically at birth for free.

Any African who thinks class comes before race because of something Karl Marx wrote in a book in the 19th century is an adherent of just another goddamn religion. Das Kapital is their holy book, Karl Marx is their deity, and Friedrich Engels is his designated prophet. It's really no accident that people like that react to Lenin, Mao, Deng etc, the exact same way that Catholics and Sunni Muslims react to heretics.

In the 1960s, we were told that overpopulation was an imminent risk, that we would soon run out of food globally.

Today, the problem is underpopulation, in many parts of the World.

Then shortly after, we were told we would run out of fossil fuels. This reached a crescendo in the 1980s.

Today, America is awash in shale petroleum, and there are other shale deposits in places like Argentina, that have barely been touched.

We will run out of fossils fuels one day, but not in the near future. As Sheikh Zaki Yamani said, "the Stone Age did not end for lack of stones".

We were told, from the 1980s by the West, that "once we adopt liberal market economics and democracy - voila! like magic we would become as prosperous as the West".

There's nothing about magical about "democracy", and "democracy" does not lead to "economic prosperity".

If you doubt me, take a trip round Africa - and in any case, the same West that preached the virtues of "free markets" - is now wholesale adopting "industrial policy".

There were other fictions like, "the US Navy protects the global commons" - from who, exactly? A few months into 2026, we discovered that this isn't really true.

If the US Navy cannot really do much when a medium power like Iran decides to flex its muscles, what exactly can it do when big dogs like China decide to make life difficult for them?

We are learning it is less of "the US Navy protecting the global commons" - and more of other powers deciding to play ball.

There were other convenient fictions - about US politicians, business people and civil servants being "uniquely principled";

This is nonsense, all of it.

The defining characteristic of the US Congress, is a lack of spine. US tech billionaires are still lining up to genuflect before Trump - in a way that shames even the worst sycophants, who sing the praises of corrupt Nigerian politicians;

And how many US diplomats have resigned in the face of Trump's blatantly racist foreign policies? Very few, you can count them on your fingers - the US Embassy at Abuja now sounds like a MAGA outpost. I don't blame them, they have families and pensions to protect.

There were other fantasies like "a free press is the fourth estate of governance". As far as Nigeria/Africa is concerned, a "free press", like the "tooth fairy" - is childish fantasy.

Somebody has to pay the journalists - and in Nigeria/Africa it boils down to either corrupt Nigerian politicians/politically connected people - or some foreign agency like the CIA/Pentagon.

Hopefully, we should emerge from this learning experience with more wisdom - but I am not banking on it, given what I know about Nigerians.

I have friends who are older and very fit because of their lifestyle. They don't drink or smoke and exercise daily. They also have the most unfit kids who don't follow their example. This has always worried me as I am raising young children. I have also seen families with hard-working and wealthy parents who raise the laziest and most entitled children.

We always want our children to do better than us, but when and where does this go wrong for most people? I think it comes from the time and attention we personally give our kids and the lapses we allow.

My wife and I are early risers. I have a particular sleep problem I am still trying to solve, but my kids can sleep all day on vacation if you let them. A friend with an older son who had just graduated and was back home, jobless, used to tell me how alarmed he was that the son would go out all night, come back early in the morning, and sleep all day.

I told him then that if he didn't force him to change that habit, he would remain jobless and stay with his parents longer. They eventually forced him to change, and he moved out. He has a job now and struggles a lot. His parents are concerned that he isn't thriving. He is now almost 30, and I think about this all the time. At 25, I was a beast and had started many businesses.

While we want our kids and young adults to experience life on their own terms in a world vastly different from the one we grew up in, we can't help but notice that others whose children were more disciplined are thriving better. One indicator I have seen that correlates with success in younger people is fitness.

A friend’s son started going to the gym regularly, and he even inspired his cousins to do so. I checked on LinkedIn recently, and he is doing exceptionally well as a lawyer and investment banker without any family connections or assistance. His younger cousins, who are looking up to him, are following in his footsteps. I decided to get my kids to spend more time with him.

The role models our children need may be closer to their age than ours. It is why we need to amplify the lifestyles of young, disciplined, and successful people more. Not every person will make it through creative pursuits. I stress this to my kids all the time. There are billions of YouTube channels, but there is only one MrBeast or IShowSpeed.

Social media is highlighting more unrealistic role models than the most useful ones. My daughter is likely one of the most intelligent young children that I know, but because she doesn't want to be seen as a nerd, she is adapting to popular culture to blend in, in a way that scares me. This sometimes affects the way she learns. While I don't want to restrict her now from experiencing the world, I have realized that she needs different role models.

My son’s role models are nerds, and he nerds out in ways that surprise me and it is also worrying. We can be watching a movie, and he goes online to research it and summarise the plot so he can leave to code. He is not experiencing life enough outside the internet.

They will either eventually be ok in a world very different from ours or struggle in a world that becomes worse than ours, without the skills to build personal resilience and strong social skills.

I recently had a personal experience that made me realize I was fortunate to have left home early and to have different role models from my parents. Having a broken home led to different outcomes for my siblings and me, but the fact that I had strong personalities like my mother’s uncle and the uncles I grew up around helped me learn a lot more about life and priorities.

The world is a very complex place, and life is not a bed of roses. While we want the best outcomes for our kids, we have to finally admit that they will learn far more from others than they will ever learn from us. The best thing we can do for them is expose them to the right kind of people early enough, then hope and pray that we didn't misread those people.

"Nigerian society is no longer celebrating academic excellence. It’s not even Yahøø culture anymore; now we have a 'Peller culture.' This 'Olodo' uprising we are witnessing is terrible. It feels like we are trying so hard to accommodate ignorance so people won’t feel bad, and now they seem to be the majority. The massive att@ck on Nigeria’s educational system is alarming, aside from kidn@ppings and Bøko Haram att@cks."

People think depression is just moodswing or if you have money, it will automatically disappear.

More money can even widen the void in you.
