@AsakyGRN Finally, social engineering is real. When the system promote some persons as influential youths, then we have to look inward and ask ourselves if what those people represent, really have a positive influence in the lives of the so called “leaders of tomorrow”, or is it ENGINEERED
@AsakyGRN Nigeria as a system, does not encourage or reward academic achievement, excellence, literacy etc. It rewards activities that lack norms and values, this is why the society is decaying more and more. Remember, domes years ago, there used to be educative television programmes.
@AsakyGRN The system doesn’t need us to be educated about many things that affects us, so that you will not liberate ourselves. Again, Nigeria having turn to a society where money is the new value and norm, have literally made many people think that they are above advice.
Who could have thought that PDP will be forming alliance in Nigeria political space just 12 years after, having been the ruling political party from 1999-2015.
@beninelectric Dear @beninelectric, I am a customer who is on a post paid meter in Akure, Ondo State. I have been getting bills and making payments for more than 18 months, but on June/July 2025 there was no light in our area (Ologede) due to transformer issue.
@beninelectric This is without any bill being issued since June/July 2025. and when I asked why the disconnection order, I was told that we are owing outstanding bill of 207,000 naira. Moreover as at May 2025 our outstanding debt was 26,000 naira.
@beninelectric It took till first week of November for the transformer to be fix and light restored. We the community people contributed to repair the transformer. However, these month, no bill was served, but your field officers from Akure branch came to our office to disconnect our light.
@BalogunKakanfo1 You are one of the boot lickers of our politicians. So, because Wike is the FCT minister means he is right, or because the Officer is young, means he's wrong.
@BalogunKakanfo1@Ntanal You have painted the story, the way like it. Nobody (president, governors or ministers) is above the law. This is a public shame, it show that the FCT ministry, doesn't have a data for the lands in Abuja.., because they do, this would have been a matter of an office vs office.
THINKING OUT LOUD
Why do Nigerians always have the sense of rivalry instead of everything instead of united front.
The amount of cruise we catch with every single thing have made Nigeria to forget what it means to “call to a spade, a spade”.
And that stems from having an education system that was not designed by Africans to enhance their freedom and development, but was designed by European colonial administrators to develop African white collar hewers of wood and drawers of water.
Even my parents fell into the same trap of conflating "a good education" with "an expensive education." I had an expensive education, but everything that is useful toward my aspirations as an African freeman was learned outside of the expensive intellectual prison they called "school."
Imagine going to school in the biggest city in the Black world for 17 years, and never even learning about the basic history of the country that city is in. If not that my dad bought "Why We Struck" and I read it at home, I'd have completed primary and secondary education without knowing the most basic things about the place I lived in.
The only purpose of that education was to pass a British exam, then fuck off to London and hopefully never come back. That was no education at all!
It was colonial indoctrination. And unfortunately, the so-called Nigerian elite are now competing over who can pay N40m/year for the privilege of sending their kids to Charterhouse for a more concentrated version of this indoctrination directly delivered for good measure by oyibo expatriates.
When Nigeria has its long overdue socio-political revolution, there are so many mindsets, habits, ideas, and physical places that will need to be thoroughly burned to the ground!
I've just come out of a conversation with a contact who is engaged in the Sahel, and the one piece of advise I have for the multiple Burkinabés from media, academia and civil society who are currently being contacted by the usual suspects to lend their vocal and intellectual support to the artificial anti-Traoré bandwagon that Paris and DC are putting together is this:
Remember that there is nothing special about you.
The same way they're reaching out to you and acting as if they respect you and your work, is the same way they've reached out to many of us across the sub-region. I promise you are not special to them at all. You're just useful. For now. The respect and reverence they are treating you with is the same affected "respect" they have bamboozled us with for 500 years, because they know that nothing gets a black man's pussy wet like receiving "respect" and "honour" from his European overlords.
They did the same thing in Nigeria between 2011 and 2015. Every squirrel, antelope, Aisha, Dipo, and Japheth who offered even the mildest criticism of Goodluck Jonathan was immediately carried aloft and paraded around as a champion of this and that by the oyibos. It didn't take them long to figure out that "Jonathan Must Go" was their ticket to what seemed like everlasting favours, treats, and funding from oyibo, and they all started unanimously pushing to oust the president that took Nigeria to #1 economy in Africa and 3rd fastest growing on the planet.
Many of these people didn't even dislike Goodluck Jonathan - they just saw that pretending as if Nigeria was being ruled by Pol Pot was their ticket out of poverty and obscurity. Some of them built this career grift in 24 months all the way from Twitter into Chevening scholarships, IVLPs, Mandela Washington Fellowships, speaking appearances in Taiwan, Canadian passports, etc etc. But those were only the lucky few. The vast majority of this demographic got discarded like a used pure water bag immediately the oyibos got their desired regime change.
Since they got their regime change, Nigeria has fallen off a cliff from #1 to #4 in Africa, losing over 60% of GDP in just 10 years. I will repeat that for emphasis. While other countries in Africa grew at 2-5% annually over the past 10 years, Nigeria SHRANK by over 60%, and you can now find Nigerians desperately searching for a better life in Burkina Faso, Algeria, Mali, Libya, Tunisia, Liberia, and even Niger which used to hold the title of "poorest country in the world." Most of the loudmouths who helped make this a reality have fallen back into obscurity and poverty.
Many of them are in their 40s and 50s now, and they're still busy chasing gigs and hunting for $1000 here, $2,500 there. A few of them did become puppet unicorns, but the vast majority are back to being absolutely nobody 10 years after they allowed foreign attention and dollars to override their natural caution and stampede them into the 2nd worst ever national mistake in Nigeria's history after the completely unnecessary civil war.
Many of them walk around in a constant state of confusion now, unable to understand why their lives are much worse nowadays, and the oyibos who seemingly cared so much about whatever they had to say between 2011 and 2015 are no longer answering the phone or replying messages. If you allow these same oyibos to inflate your egos and use it to push your mouths into parroting their narrative for their own geopolitical goals, the exact same thing will happen to you.
Before you allow the thirst for white people's validation and money to shape your responses to the questions they are currently deluding you with, just ask yourself this one question:
All those years when Burkina Faso was the deadest country on the planet and Blaise Campaore's regime was shooting Burkinabés dead in the street, where were all these bleeding heart white people? Why didn't they care then?
Why do they care about Ibrahim Traoré now? What is this REALLY about?
