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.

I thought he was baiting then I checked and holy shit, it's true. In Saudi Arabia Africans cannot study science and corporate leadership degrees and are restricted to religion and humanities.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

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.

You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.

A prominent Nigerian journalist is currently weeping on live television over the devastating economic hardship ravaging the country. According to his emotional outburst, Nigeria actively lent hundreds of millions of dollars to the IMF and the World Bank during the 1970s, but today, the country is plagued with a catastrophic budget deficit, a crippled currency, and must continuously beg and borrow from those same institutions just to balance the books.

However, as painful and tragic as this economic reality is, we must have the courage to call this exactly what it is: performative journalism. I consider every genuine, conscious intellectual in Africa to be an ideological soldier, whose sole duty, mandate, and historical responsibility is to shed uncompromising light on the structural truth, expose the mechanics of power, and push a relentless enlightenment campaign through their writings, broadcasts, and public speeches. Instead of shedding dramatic tears for the cameras, what Rufai Oseni should have actually done is use his massive national platform to remind Nigerians that this current crisis is simply another devastating form of neocolonialism.

In 1974, OPEC was the supreme, undisputed kingmaker in the global oil and gas industries, controlling international energy prices and dictating exactly how the world's most treasured energy resource should be managed. While many Western economies were struggling, suffocating, and facing severe recessions in the 1970s, OPEC nations like Nigeria were rapidly growing their foreign reserves, as hundreds of millions of dollars in cash-crop oil revenues flowed into our economy every single day. This was the exact moment Western banks and international financial institutions sent highly trained economic hitmen to these newly independent, oil-rich nations. They actively encouraged Nigeria to lend its massive capital to the IMF and the World Bank to help other struggling nations (which were almost exclusively Western European powers), and directly persuaded our leaders to invest their oil revenues back into European banks. Nigeria, under the naive, submissive leadership of General Yakubu Gowon, eagerly accepted this trap, sending hundreds of millions of dollars in interest-free loans to help stabilize the economies of Europe. At this highly lucrative point in our history, there was not a single functional domestic refinery in Nigeria, no world-class scientific research institutions, no robust road networks connecting remote agricultural villages to the cities, no stable electricity grids, no modern healthcare facilities, and no industrialized agricultural sectors. Yet, Nigeria was flatly told by Western economists that they were insanely rich and should be lending out their capital. Gowon enthusiastically agreed, notoriously boasting to the world: "We are so rich we don't know what to do with money."

Ironically, the moment oil prices crashed as OPEC's geopolitical influence weakened (due to massive new oil discoveries in the North Sea by the United Kingdom and Norway, and the Soviet Union rapidly ramping up production to become the largest producer on earth) the global financial-industrial complex closed its trap. The American Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest rates to unprecedented heights, triggering massive capital flight, a dollar squeeze, and a devastating global recession. Nigeria immediately began to feel the heat. Because our ruling class consisted largely of comprador elites who consistently put the financial interests of their colonial masters over the material well-being of their own people, and who had agreed to ship hundreds of millions of dollars to stabilize European economies without investing in local industries, domestic refineries, or robust educational systems, the country was hit with catastrophic force. The economy of the state was pushed to the absolute brink of collapse. It was at this precise, desperate moment that General Ibrahim Babangida was ushered into military power with full Western backing. He immediately ran to the IMF for emergency loans. This time, however, the IMF did not offer Nigeria the free, juicy, and interest-free loans that Nigeria had so generously lent to them in the 1970s. Instead, this bailout came with extortionate interest rates and highly humiliating, structural austerity measures known as the "Structural Adjustment Programme" (SAP). Under the SAP, the Nigerian state was forcefully compelled to remove vital subsidies, aggressively devalue the Naira, open up their local markets for foreign corporate cartels, systematically defund public education, and drastically cut funding for healthcare. This economic shock caused unprecedented, generational hardship, completely wiped out the emerging middle class, and permanently stifled the industrial growth of Nigeria.

So, instead of weeping and shedding theatrical tears on live TV, Rufai Oseni could have used his highly coveted platform to properly, structurally educate Nigerians on this neocolonial development. Our economic condition is indeed deeply gross, shameful, and painful beyond words, but we cannot afford to be emotional; we need to be strong, highly calculative, and analytically rigorous. We must understand that Nigeria cannot continue to operate on the temporary charisma of a single, isolated leader without a deeply institutionalized, scientific ideology. If our leaders continue to blindly adopt all the macroeconomic dogmas, currency floatations, and policy templates handed over to them from Washington, they will always operate an economy designed strictly to please their white colonial masters over the material welfare of their own people.

🔥 IMAGINE TELLING AN AFRICAN PARENT THIS 😭

A British dad finds out his daughter dropped out of university to SELL ADULT CONTENT.

His first reaction?
Not the money. Not the income.
He talks about her future, reputation, consequences, and how choices today can follow her tomorrow.

Now imagine that same conversation in a Naija home 😭🔥

Before she finishes explaining the £5k/month, you’ll hear about:

* School fees sacrificed
* Family name
* Prayers and expectations
* Legacy
* “What will people say?” 😂

Money can solve problems, but it doesn’t automatically build character, discipline, or purpose.

A quick bag can change your lifestyle.
But your values shape your destiny.

Be honest: how would your parents react if you were in this situation? 👀
