The reason Igbos are in Lagos is because there are no ports in the South East, hence most Igbos are importers and businessmen. Not having a port in the SE was by design by the Powers that be. This concentration of sea port in Lagos is a major reason for its congestion.#Hopealive

This Chinese Hukou household registration system is exactly what Nigeria urgently needs, and it will serve as the ultimate economic catalyst to drive this country from being a third-world heap of dust into a highly disciplined, industrial superpower hub in Africa.

We need to stop the romanticized lies of unregulated internal migration and face the brutal reality of our collapsing infrastructure. Everybody needs to urgently return home, put their hands in the mud, and develop their individual states of origin. Cities like Lagos, Onitsha, Kano, Port Harcourt, Aba, Asaba, and Abuja are already dangerously overwhelmed, severely overpopulated, and stretched far beyond their elastic limits, while our rich rural communities are left to rot like abandoned ghost towns.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, over 80% of the population living in Bauchi State, Nigeria, are trapped in absolute, multidimensional poverty. Yet, Alhaji Yakubu A. Maishanu, the billionaire founder and CEO of A.Y.M. Shafa Holdings, is from this exact same Bauchi State. He successfully built one of the largest, most profitable, and highly influential indigenous downstream oil and gas companies in Nigeria, with over 150 filling stations, LPG plants, and massive petroleum depots spread across 26 states. But the number of Shafa filling stations in his own home state of Bauchi is not even up to five. This means that over 90% of his massive wealth, fixed assets, and physical investments are spread entirely outside his state, with the vast majority of them operating in the South.

Imagine the structural transformation if, instead of building filing stations in Edo and Lagos, which forces him to pay corporate taxes, land permits, municipal development levies, and expensive licensing fees that only benefit southern states, he took all of this capital back to Bauchi. Imagine if he ordered heavy-duty tractors, automated harvesters, mechanized irrigation systems, and modern processing silos directly from China. This massive investment would not only cultivate the vast, untapped, and highly fertile arable land in Bauchi State to provide food security, sustainable job opportunities, industrial raw materials, and massive local revenue for his own impoverished people, but he would also use his corporate influence and logistics network to secure trade corridors, allowing Bauchi to export premium agricultural products to neighboring African states and even overseas markets.

But this economic betrayal is a national trend. Aliko Dangote, despite being worth over 36 billion dollars and sitting as the richest man in Africa, has almost 100% of his productive industrial wealth concentrated outside his hometown of Kano, choosing instead to build massive refineries, fertilizer plants, and petrochemical complexes in the South. Mike Adenuga, despite being worth over 6.7 billion dollars, has over 95% of his wealth concentrated in the Niger Delta oil fields and the high-rise corporate offices of Lagos, while his own ancestral home of Ijebu-Ode receives virtually none of his commercial capital. Arthur Eze is from Ukpo in Anambra State, and despite possessing a net worth estimated between 2 billion and 5 billion dollars, practically 100% of his liquid and fixed wealth is concentrated completely outside Anambra State.

If you think this demographic and capital flight data is not significant, permit me to remind you that Lagos State alone generates more Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) than all of the 19 Northern States combined. Yet, multi-billion-dollar conglomerates like the Dangote Group and the BUA Group are some of the biggest taxpayers in Lagos, and they are owned by Northerners. Even the vast majority of the Southern billionaires from Igbo and Yoruba ethnicities operating in Lagos are not indigenous to the state.

This is a massive, systemic problem in Nigeria, and this is why I propose a strict Hukou-style system that legally forces people to remain in their various states of origin to contribute the human and financial capital needed to develop those regions.

If an Igbo businessman from Anambra intends to set up a massive commercial enterprise in Lagos, the Lagos State government must treat him as just another foreign investor moving in from Tokyo or London. Let him pay the double corporate taxation, the foreign commercial licensing fees, and the hefty expatriate employment levies required of any foreigner operating a business in the state. If he is not comfortable with these strict financial barriers, let him pack up his capital and take his business back to his own community in Anambra where none of these punitive requirements exist.

This strict protocol must apply to human migration as well. If you intend to relocate from Kano to Edo, you should be legally required to formally apply for an internal visa from the Edo State government. You must state your exact reason for entry, register with local biometric databases, provide proof of financial self-sufficiency, and obtain temporary work permits.

Furthermore, this strict internal immigration protocol will make it much more difficult for terrorists, bandits, and criminal syndicates to seamlessly infiltrate southern forests, smuggle heavy weaponry across state lines, and establish covert operational cells in municipal slums.

When I traveled to Jalingo, Taraba State, in early January, I went around the local towns for sightseeing, and what I witnessed really broke my heart. I visited Tella and Mutum Biyu, and the people living in these communities looked like they had been completely abandoned by their own government. In Tella, for example, there are vast, highly fertile, uncultivated lands spreading across thousands of square kilometers. Yet, right next to these goldmines of soil, you see citizens living in squalid mud houses. Their schools are few and far between, mostly owned by foreign Western churches or Islamic missions, while the few schools owned by the government are a sad sight, looking more like a mockery of human dignity than actual development projects.

The towns are so sparsely populated you would think the youth had been kidnapped en masse from their communities. The small youth population that remains is mostly uneducated, keeping the literacy rate in the entire North below 40%. The tiny fraction of educated youths eventually flee to the South to look for white-collar jobs in banks, corporate offices, technology hubs, and manufacturing plants that are disproportionately concentrated in the South.

Limiting internal migration will also help Nigeria fight its structural war against terrorism. These vast, abandoned, uncultivated farmlands are currently the active training grounds for bandits and insurgent groups. The absolute lack of basic educational and state infrastructure in these communities creates a vacuum that allows hostile foreign agents to easily radicalize our own people, reducing our youth to disposable terrorists and bandits whose sole purpose is to clear the field for the illegal extraction of our rich solid minerals, such as gold in Zamfara, lithium in Nasarawa, and bitumen in Ondo.

The bitter truth we must face is that Nigeria's current free-for-all internal migration is a parasitic system that actively rewards political failure. It allows corrupt state governors in the North and East to systematically loot their federal allocations, secure in the lazy knowledge that their angry, unemployed youth will simply migrate to Lagos or Port Harcourt to drive motorcycles and sleep in urban slums. By forcing citizens and capital to remain tied to their states of origin, we will finally force these local governments to perform, we will force billionaires to build where they were born, and we will finally transform Nigeria into a collection of highly competitive, self-sufficient industrial states rather than a single, collapsing heap of dust.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.

Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.

Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.

Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.

Why?

If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.

Truth does not need censorship.

If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.

You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.

The double standard needs to be called out.

[Nik Stankovic @nikstankovic_]

Churches (mosques, temples, cults, etc) are NGOs in China. You have to register. Keep records, report, and file tax returns and otherwise follow regulations. You don't, you will be shut down like a prostitution or a gambling joint. (Yes, there are plenty brothels and casinos operating in China, as are there "underground churches". At some point their time expires.)

China is not the US where cults are free to poison society. And that's a good thing.

Otherwise you are free to pray and practice your religion. Nobody cares. You are not free to subvert society with your beliefs. You want to destroy a civilization with your religion, that's what the US is for.

Took me 20 years to figure out the con.

The political function of the European Jesus:

1. If God looks European, then European people are closer to God. Holiness looks European. Your face is not the face of God.

2. To break the Afrikan image of the divine.

3. To create a permanent reference point for European cultural authority. Once installed, the image resists removal.

Everyone is forced to be in Lagos. And I mean “deliberately” forced to be in Lagos to serve capitalism.

You probably don’t know this because you don’t understand how the capitalist economy of Nigeria is set up to work.

When you extract the value of the whole country and concentrate it in one location, it serves the capitalists, as people will be forced by lack of activities to leave their original location (where they live rent free and grow their own food) to Lagos where they will have no choice than slave for capitalism just to afford to pay for the same rent and food they had for free. Capitalism needs people who are desperate to eat and pay rent to survive.

It was not by accident that every headquarters and every key infrastructure and public service was concentrated in Lagos. It was deliberate. It’s also not by accident that insecurity is trafficked everywhere else before it get to Lagos. It is deliberate.

It’s very important you educate yourself on how systems work, to avoid embarrassing yourself by asking people if they are forced to be in Lagos. Of course, they are forced to be in Lagos.

She competed against students from schools across Germany and also from 52 other countries.

She currently attends Ambassador College, Ota.

You see, the BBC News UK is reporting this. Not the BBC World or BBC Africa., but the BBC News UK. If you understand BBC’s networks and programming, you will understand what is happening here. They had no reason to report this except presenting to the UK audience an Africa that’s not united. This exactly proves my point in the video below.

Following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the American Red Cross launched a massive fundraising campaign and collected $500 million in donations.
They promised to build brand-new, massive healthcare facilities and permanent communities for displaced Haitians.
Investigations later revealed they built just 6 permanent and substandard homes.

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

The American media will milk this aesthetic, but still had the guts to harass African players and officials, including denying them visas.

After this World Cup, the American fashion industry will steal this idea (especially the luggages). That’s what white people have always done. Steal. They are never original. Everything about white civilization, including their religions, was stolen from Africa.

They would steal and repackage to dangerous and non-human friendly versions and export back to Africa.

It’s a shame that they have conditioned some Africans to hate their own cultures and heritages, despite being the richest in the world.

As the World Cup Begins Without Nigeria

As the World Cup begins today across three nations, I identify with our teeming football followers and urge them not to be despondent that Nigeria is not participating, despite the abundant talent in our land.

Our failure to participate on the global stage is not due to a deficit of talent; it is a direct consequence of a deficit in leadership, planning, and institutional support.

The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. Do not watch the World Cup with despair; rather, see it as a reminder of where Nigeria ought to be. We must move our country from being a nation of mere consumers of global entertainment to a nation of proud producers and competitors.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

The problem was never Trump.

Trump is the readable version of a text that was always there, written in language most people couldn't access.

The problem is the system that produced him, that uses him, that will survive him, and that will next time find someone equally willing to do what he does but competent enough to do it quietly.

The competent version is more dangerous.

The competent version rebuilds the language. Restores the branding. Hires the speechwriters who know how to say "shared values" and "rules-based order" while executing identical policy.

And the people who spent four years appalled by Trump's vulgarity will feel the relief of good grammar and take it for moral improvement.

The empire doesn't need Trump specifically.

It needed what he provided: a stress test. A period of operation without the usual ideological cover, to see what held and what didn't.

What held: the sanctions. The bases. The vetoes. The dollar. The weapons sales. The regime change operations.

What didn't hold: the manners.

And when someone comes along who can restore the manners while keeping everything else, and they will, they always do, the people who thought the problem was the manners will call it a recovery.

The rest of us will know what it actually is.

I've always believed that Maradona’s expulsion from the 94 World Cup had far more to do with his friendship with Castro and his outspoken anti-imperialist politics than it did with doping. They couldn’t stand the prospect of him captivating audiences on U.S. soil.

The same dynamic seems to be playing out again. This World Cup is being heavily politicized. We’re already seeing what look like humiliation rituals directed at African countries, while efforts are made to ensure that nations viewed as geopolitical adversaries don’t get the opportunity to shine on American soil.

Meanwhile, the more credible security threat comes from America’s own gun-heavy society and the possibility of mass shootings carried out by private citizens. What a shame. FIFA could hardly have chosen a worse host.
