The reason behind Lagos Traffic in the past 24 hours is so complex.

From inadequate road infrastructure to unworthy heavy duty vehicles and impatience.

Hope we do better as a people.

They didn't have Golden Penny Spaghetti so I bought Dango…

Dangote is too rich and too successful not to be one of the best employers of labour in this country.

I mean look at Gates, Bezos, etc. They’re one of the richest men in their countries and some of the best employers of labour in terms of workers welfare as welfare as well.

This is why we complain of low quality elites in our country. They take advantage of the dysfunction rather than raise the standard.

Her parents are Nigerian, she can't become Miss South Africa.

His mother is Igbo. He can't become the Governor of Lagos.

Six and Half a Dozen. As a country, we don't even have the honour to speak against racism. Racism & Tribalism is basically the same thing.

Borno has been without electricity for months. None of you emergency lovers of Nigeria ever wondered how the hospitals there are functioning. It’s today you know hospitals depend on the national grid? 😅

I believe such takes are painful but necessary for Nigerians, and Africans generally, to hear.

When you’re told to your face that you’re in a weak position and why, you gain clarity on where you stand and what you need to do to no longer be in a weak position.

I find this more useful than the white Westerners who obscure the weakness of the African position with (often) insincere declarations of how they see everyone equally.

That lulls those in a weak position - which in a capitalist world means poor individuals and nations - into the illusion of believing the strong see the weak as their equals.

Don’t get me wrong, some may as there are people all over the world in a strong position who are very fair and decent. But then there are those who are not, and they are not few. Because being in a strong position often breeds arrogance.

This is a human failing, not that of any particular group or race. So what you don’t want as a people is to have to rely on the morality of the strong.

If they DECIDE to treat you fairly, then all is good. But if they decide otherwise, you’re the one with the problem, not them.

It so happens, thanks in part to histories we know, that it is white Westerners who are in a much stronger position than Africans today.

We can complain about this and recall history. Or we can face the reality that strength is Africa’s only salvation. And in this world, strength comes from collective wealth. There are no poor nations (or groups) that are in a strong position.

China and many others have learnt this lesson well. It is a brutal and immoral lesson, but one that I believe we (and especially those who rule Africa) can’t run away from.

If it was white Westerners who needed to pitch ideas to Nigerians to get capital from them, the whole convo would be very different. They’d start learning pidgin sef just to connect better with Nigerians.

As I argue, it’s not about whiteness, it’s about wealth. Amen.

One of my favorite songs of all time, and this performance in the pouring rain in Buffalo, 2004, is one for the ages.
