I told you there was no Christian Genocide in Nigeria that it was a carefully crafted propaganda to have a US military presence in Nigeria to have a cut in the national cake - Minerals
You insulted me. I was right you were all wrong.
I told you the United States combined with Israel, cannot beat Iran in a direct conflict because of its Geography that makes it a fortress despite the combined military strength.
I also pointed out that its traditions and historical legacy contribute to fighting morale.
I told you it would drag into a war of attrition and extend beyond a year until the United States is exhausted economically and defeated politically not militarily.
You told me the United States will smoke up Iran in 3 - 5 days.
Today makes it a year and 7 days since the incursion with the United States having no possible exit strategy without losing.
Any decision the United States take is a loss.
Over 80% of the US military presence in the Middle East has been completely obliterated. The US cannot have a military presence and influence as it did previously in the Middle East anymore for all eternity.
You were wrong. I was right.
I have been telling you that Nigeria cannot exit its present quagmire through elections and that campaigning for Peter Obi is a waste of quality time.
Weather Mr Peter Obi wins or not the Nigerian economy will keep crashing as a result of over-reliance on Western economies.
I predict the Naira to go to zero against the dollar in 20 years. Your main problem in that reagrd is the IMF and World Bank.
The Insecurity in Nigeria will skyrocket. It doesn't matter who wins the next election becuse Nigeria is already captured by terrorists with the backing of the United States, France, and Britain.
You will insult me and call me all sorts of names like usual. But if this does not come to pass, I will delete my X handle forever.
There is only one escape for Nigerians. A bloody revolution. Arguably the bloodiest revolution in history.
It is the citizens who will take fate into their hands ans restore sanity to Nigeria.
It might not happen today, it might not happen in five years, but it will definitely happen, because it is the only way out for Nigerians.
For now insult me and enjoy your stupidity. We will meet in the future.
End!
Take any population on earth.
For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.
Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.
Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.
Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.
When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.
Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.
Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.
Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.
Put the results on a map.
Call the map a "nature documentary."
Tell yourself the scores show something biological.
Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.
Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.
You did not follow the evidence.
You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.
And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.
if you're a man, this is going to hit hard
the world does not respect the broke man and it does not respect the confused man
the world does not respect the man who doesn't know what he wants, who can't communicate, or who cannot articulate his ideas. it respects the man who is useful, the man who leads, the man who creates value while you're obsessed with women, desperate for attention and waiting for the next message from the girl you found on twitter after sending a hundred good mornings, you're not just losing that woman, you're losing yourself
when you become a complete man, a woman stops being the objective cos she was never meant to be your objective. she should be the consequence of the man you've been building
so what comes first? you, anyday, anytime
Sometimes, as a man, even when you’re completely broke, you can get into your car, light your smoke, dey sip your sachet seaman and just relax.
There’s a certain joy and peace of mind that comes with having a car.
It gives you this feeling that, somehow, everything is going to be alright.
You fit even video call one banny like that paim paim paim paim! …she go lap come give you better style..
Car sha is no1 for any man. E dey stop nonsense and it covers a lot for man as well.
I recommend using absence to gain your respect back.
I recommend giving a girl your number instead of asking for hers. If she likes you, she will text you.
I recommend building your body, especially your shoulders. You'd be surprised how much more attractive you look with a better frame.
I recommend putting people in their place at the very first sign of disrespect.
I recommend not chasing people. Pay attention to who chooses you.
I recommend leaving rooms where you constantly have to prove your worth.
I recommend being honest from the beginning. Pretending is exhausting.
I recommend saving money before people know you're making money.
I recommend letting people underestimate you.
I recommend taking pictures and videos of your parents more often.
There's the insane belief you'll have in yourself, that as you are going through your hard times - you'd be taking pictures and videos.
Because e too sure for you say, one day everything go blend.
Pattern recognition and the ability to always ask "why" is the difference between a thinking, independent adult and a zombie who lets Twitter manage his emotions.
It's when you look at the "South Africa Vs Ghana beef" and you ask yourself why the South African xenophobes whom everyone knows have had problems with Nigerians and Zimbabweans since forever, suddenly decided to go after Ghanaians - the relatively unproblematic group of Africans that are both highly visible and universally liked across the continent.
Why would the Afrophobes seeking a quick and easy win against African immigrants skip over the hundreds of thousands of available Zimbabweans (invisible and easy to pick on) and Nigerians (widely disliked across Africa) and specifically start a beef with the one group of Africans that the entire continent knows and likes?
How many Ghanaians even live in South Africa compared to Nigerians and Zimbabweans? Why did Ghana - the most unlikely target with the least potential payoff - suddenly become the focus of South African Afrophobes? What did that contrived, 1-sided beef accomplish except create a narrative that set the entire continent against them? Why would Afrophobes seeking a win against immigrants go after the one group of immigrants that everyone likes and aren't even that many, when there were tens of thousands of Kudakwashes and Emekas to go after?
Why shoot themselves in the foot for absolutely no reason by making an enemy out of the state that had the capacity to immediately charter widebody aircrafts to evacuate its citizens who were then pictured joyfully singing their national anthem on the plane home? Why score such a disastrous PR own goal and completely discredit their own movement by adopting the role of comic book monsters, to the point where all of South Africa's continental soft power is genuinely under threat?
Are these Afrophobes really that stupid?
Or, or...hear me out - they are just patsies and someone else behind the scenes is carefully curating a sequence of events that leads South Africa into a catastrophic loss of diplomatic credibility and cultural influence, which will then be followed by an assault against the South African state itself, possibly by one or more separatist entities that are already being covertly armed and equipped?
Who was recently seen sending Starlink kits to Orania under the Seal of the US First Lady? Whose ambassador recently met with Western Cape separatists after publicly stating that he "does not care what South Africa's courts say"? Who is currently pushing every button to discredit South Africa on the international stage including disinviting the country from the G7 meeting and using disaster photos from DR Congo to falsely claim a "white genocide" in South Africa?
Pattern recognition is what helps you stitch all these data points together in sequence and reach the obvious conclusion that helps you avoid becoming a useful idiot whose thoughts and feelings are dictated by proprietary algorithms owned by billionaire white supremacists who microdose ketamine.
It's a basic adult requirement.

Shahid Bolsen On Who Shook The Jar In South Africa
It is easy to get riled up by the simple and pervasive narratives surrounding ongoing anti-African violence in South Africa, but Shahid Bolsen reminds us that as always, it is better to avoid the face-value narrative and ask some deeper, more fundamental questions so as to arrive at an understanding of who is ultimately responsible for this and what their agenda is.
It is crucially important to loudly emphasize that the structural arrangements and the revenue-sharing formulas for extracted Nigerian crude oil that existed from 1993 up until 1998 during the Sani Abacha military government were fundamentally different from the submissive, neocolonial policies that existed after 1999, when Nigeria transitioned into a heavily compromised, Western-approved democratic government with Olusegun Obasanjo emerging as the president.
Under the Abacha administration, most of the deep offshore oil fields in Nigeria had not even been discovered yet, and the local domestic industries completely lacked the highly advanced technical infrastructure, the specialized deepwater drilling equipment, and the massive financial capital required for such high-level exploration. Consequently, the original policy framework was strictly designed to allow the greedy IOCs to merely perform the expensive, and dirty work of physical exploration, but they were legally and categorically forbidden from actually owning the oil blocks outright.
Under Abacha's uncompromising resource nationalism, any lucrative oil block had to be owned strictly by a local Nigerian company, and the foreign IOC would then be forced to enter into a highly regulated joint-venture agreement or a technical partnership with the local company if they wanted to participate in the lucrative production.
A highly famous example of this resource battle would be the notorious Malabu oil block (OPL 245). It was one of the single biggest, most lucrative deepwater oil blocks in the entire country, accounting for a staggering one-fourth of all known deepwater oil deposits in Nigeria at the time. Chevron pulled every single diplomatic lever, geopolitical string, and intelligence asset in Washington to bypass this rule and secure direct ownership of that block, but a fiercely resistant Abacha flatly refused, stood his ground, and insisted that the block must remain fully owned and managed by a local company.
However, just a few short months after this high-stakes geopolitical battle between Abacha and Chevron, Sani Abacha mysteriously, highly conveniently died, and Olusegun Obasanjo was ushered into power. The very first thing the Obasanjo administration did upon capturing Aso Rock was to aggressively seize, confiscate, and revoke all these highly lucrative oil blocks that rightfully belonged to indigenous Nigerian companies, only to hand them over on a silver platter to giant American oil majors and British energy cartels.
Not only did he commit this spectacular, generational economic treason, he single-handedly maintained the lopsided revenue-sharing formulas(designed for exploration only), ensured the Deep Offshore Act remained untouched, and allowed these Western conglomerates to continuously eat the lion's share of Nigeria's liquid wealth.
Even the mineral-rich Bakassi Peninsula, which Abacha had heavily barricaded with battle-ready Nigerian troops to resolutely stop Cameroon from seizing the massive, lucrative offshore oil and gas reserves it contained, was quietly forfeited and signed away by Obasanjo under the submissive guise of international diplomacy and legal compliance.
