You as common Nigerian can’t even apply for U.S visa. Yet the first family are in the U.S getting Directors seat at the world Cup at almost $100k for all of them. Mind you Nigeria is not even at the World Cup.
When will you people have sense. I’m talking to the APC folks that can’t even eat. When will you guys have brains.
In Saudi Arabia, African students are heavily restricted from studying corporate leadership, medicine, high-tech engineering, and strategic technology. Yet they have full access to Islamic law and hardcore Wahhabism. I'm just wondering why.
A brand new day to remind y’all that our alliance is to Africa, first. Every other consideration comes second, including your borrowed precious faith.
To African Muslims and Christians, thanks for your attention to this matter.
'For 400 years Westerners... killed us in every possible way' — Ibrahim Traore, President of Burkina Faso
'They TRAUMATIZED us', but 'we LOVE them more than we love ourselves...
That's the Stockholm syndrome'
Africa is not being underestimated by anyone. That is a dangerous misconception that I once had.
What is actually happening is that Africa is being deliberately underreported and suppressed from mainstream global news cycles because some powerful people need to keep it a secret that their dominance over the global economy as we know it is entirely built on extracting 100 for the price of 0.5 from Africa.
If that coup in Niger had never happened for example, we would never have known that France's famously cheap and plentiful nuclear energy which makes up 70% of its energy mix, and which it sells to the rest of Europe, was cheap and plentiful because Orano spent decades bending Niger over a barrel, paying the country 50 euro cents/kg for Yellowcake uranium when the market price was between €150 and €200/kg.
We didn't know this - but France and its EU collaborators absolutely did, which is why they're sponsoring EU resolutions condemning the AES every 5 minutes. They know exactly what they've lost!
The only people underestimating Africa are Africans - because we have no fucking clue what we are sitting on and we still get most of our information from predatory western sources. Don't get it twisted - everybody outside Africa who matters fully understands what Africa is, which is why Ethiopian Airlines keeps recording a new record profit every year, and it is building the world's largest airport in Bishoftu. Most of that traffic is not made up of Africans.
People from around the world don't stampede in such numbers into a continent that they "underestimate." We're the dummies chasing visas to go work for gold elsewhere while we inherited the entire fucking gold mine.
Abacha, a supposed "Evil Dictator n looter" didn't approve Sharia law in Nigeria but the Democracy Obasanjo allowed Sharia law n all sorts of religious extremism take root in Nigeria. Oya na🤷♂️
Wealthy people use philanthropy and charity generally for tax breaks, image laundering, and building networks with powerful politicians who can open doors for their businesses.
You see how individuals do this “charity work” with an agenda in mind, that is how governments do with aid.
The EU, U.S. and U.K. all have aid money tied to one thing or the other. There is no free money anywhere. And nobody loves you that much to come save you from your own misery. This is politics. Everyone is out here for themselves.
Geopolitics is driven by national interests, power, and geography. Countries act to secure survival, economic wealth, and strategic advantage. Nobody is coming to save you. They’re not promoting a certain style of government because it will help you get your acts together. They don’t care if your acts are together, except it serves their interests.
Interests! That is all that matters.
I genuinely think corruption in Nigeria should carry either life imprisonment or capital punishment
Corruption isn’t just about stealing public funds, You’re stealing children’s futures by taking money meant for schools. You’re contributing to preventable deaths by diverting funds for hospitals, medical equipment, and healthcare workers. You’re putting lives at risk by embezzling money meant for security and public safety
One person’s greed negatively affects millions of lives and it is deeper than just financial theft
We are the only continent, the only race trying to be more Arab than Arabs, more European than Europeans, more American than Americans, and more religious than the places Christianity and Islam actually came from.
We literally want to be everything except ourselves
He’s made one point I’ll hold on to,… we shouldn’t be waiting for one particular person to liberate us,… if we want to experience a change in this country,… let’s do it massively,…. Everyone has the right to vote for whoever pleases them,… the only thing bout his own is that he’s once supported Obi and campaigned for him and now it’s looking like he’s bout to dance to Tinubu’s tunes…. Enough of Vdm, enough of Isaac Fayose this and that,… let’s change dis country for good, together, we can do it
All the Twitter warriors that have "decamped" from supporting Obi communicated this same thought process on their exit speech.
It speaks so much about our value system as a people.
Imagine me expecting Peter Obi to send me a "thank you" DM because I want a functioning country.
A Minister in Canada resigned earlier today after being found to have claimed hotel accommodation expenses for overnight stays in Toronto (when he could have just gone home to sleep)
But look at what the ones in the poverty capital of the world are doing with state resources
Nigerian politicians are wicked.
🔴🇧🇫 "We have identified nearly 800 young Burkinabe students in Saudi Arabia. The surprise is that everyone of them is learning Sharia and Islamic laws. None of them learn a trade. My question is: they want to learn this Sharia law to come and apply it in which country?"
- Captain Ibrahim Traoré
As soon as you win the information war, America can no longer fight or win you at anything.
Their strength is mostly psychological and once they loose there, they cower
🛑🇧🇫- Captain Ibrahim Traore was addressing the religious extremists who believe that their faith comes first before the homeland. He said that those who hold that view can leave Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 and go wherever they want, not here.
Moreover, when they decided to ban the import of rice because we are now producing enough for local consumption, those who were importing rice were not happy. They even came to them and said that the State will fail. Again, we are our worst enemies. Smh!
