The Crypto space is a crazy experience 😶‍🌫️

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

The problem is that the South Africans already know this, but the country appears to be trapped in the same kind of end-stage national psychosis afflicting the US, where ⅓ of the population is legitimately insane, and the remaining ⅔ act like hostages of the ⅓.

I myself have am tired of saying that it's only a minority and that most South Africans are not represented by this, because even if that is true, it no longer matters. The lunatic minority is clearly in power and there's nothing the South African majority can or will do about it.

Just 32 years after the end of Apartheid, you wouldn't think that the newly freed population would be on the brink of shooting itself back into captivity, but humans have an endless capacity to surprise you🤷🏿‍♂️

BREAKING!!!!!!!!!

“A 23-year-old girl—barely an adult, still full of dreams—was kidnapped by bandits. They demanded 50 million naira. Her family begged, pleaded, and cried for mercy. The bandits refused to reduce a single kobo.

For two weeks, her father fought like a lion. He borrowed, sold, and bled dry to raise every kobo. Finally, he had the 50 million. He called them, desperate to hear his daughter’s voice one more time before paying.

She came on the phone.

And instead of begging to be saved, she told her father: “Don’t pay. I will kill myself if they release me.” She was woefully failed by the system but extremely BRAVE

Because for fourteen days—fourteen unthinkable, merciless days—those monsters had been raping her. Over and over. Daily. Hourly. Destroying her soul while she was still alive.

When the bandits heard what she said, they put a bullet in her head. Then they sent her family the video and pictures of her final moment.

That girl didn’t die. She was murdered—after being tortured in ways no human being should ever suffer.

This is not about politics anymore. This is about our humanity. This is about mothers who will never hold their daughters again. Fathers who gather ransom only to receive a corpse. Young girls who go to sleep terrified that tonight might be their turn.

Me: May it never be well with any city boy and girl who turns their eyes away from this. May peace never find the heart that excuses evil for power.
May every tear shed by this famiy rise as a fire against those who enable this madness in government.”

It always beats my brain that Nigeria has a dedicated national programme & budget to fund the rehabilitation of terrorists but has nothing dedicated for the victims of the terrorists who are traumatized for life.

There’s no nation on earth currently blocking Western imperialism (led by the U.S.) and nationalizing its resources that you will visit today and a kg of cooking gas will cost as much as $1.

China is ~$.50
Russia is ~ $0.65
Iran ~ $0.35

Nigerians, with a monthly minimum wage of $50, are paying almost $2 for a kg of cooking gas.

A few weeks ago, these same Nigerians were supporting US military aggression towards Iran, and welcoming US intervention in their own country.

I have never seen this type of thing in my life before.

[DR AFO @Dr_Afo]

I don't go around broadcasting it, but I was one a kidnap victim and it's not an experience I pray for anyone.
Not even APC supporters because I've seen someone killed in front of me because she pleaded with the terrorists.
I've seen countless ladies raped and then raped again and again until they lost all zeal to live.
These people aren't human but worst than goats.
But you know the funny thing, the dirty people you're seeing online, these dirty dogs are not the real threat.
These dogs are only allowed to do what they want because they're the foot soldiers of the masters.
The real threats are the educated religious leaders who coordinate the whole operation..
Those people will never show their face on camera. But they are always there controlling everything.
We need to put a stop to this rampant terrorism in Nigeria.

Nigeria Has Turned Insecurity Into A Multinational Enterprise - Akah

This situation is unlikely to end as long as there is a perception of weak accountability and insufficient action in addressing insecurity. If Nigerians do not remain alert and continue to speak out, the problem may persist without meaningful long-term solutions. As things stand, it is deeply concerning that even a two-year-old child can be abducted and taken into the forest, while national attention is often focused on political activities such as election preparations. Children have increasingly become soft targets, ransom is demanded, and the cycle continues. The core issue remains the failure to fully carry out the primary responsibility of protecting lives and property, which allows this situation to persist.

In 2006, the then EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu came before the Nigerian Senate and listed 5 most corrupt governors.

They include:
1. Orji Kalu, Abia State
2. Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Lagos State
3. Ahmed Sani yerima, Zamfara State
4 . God'swill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State On EFCC watch list
5. George Akume, Benue State
6. Chimaroke Nnamani, Enugu State

Today, in 2026, 20 years after.

1. Bola Ahmed Tinubu = President
2. Orji Kalu = Senator
3. Ahmed Sani Yerima = Senator
4. George Akume = Senator now Appointed by Tinubu as SGF.
5. God'swill Akpabio now Senate President*
6. Chimaroke = Senator

7. The then EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu, who made the list, is now Tinubu's National Security Adviser with those he alleged as worst criminals

Same people, Same circle.

[Slim @onu_slim]

Let me show you how South Africa is crippling the economy of Nigeria through MTN and why your government is not only allowing it but actively enabling it.

MTN Nigeria more than doubled its profitability in 2025, reporting $1.926 billion in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, up 103.4% year on year. Nigeria is now MTN Group’s single biggest profit driver. 

MTN Nigeria declared N1.7 trillion profit before tax in 2025 alone. 

N1.7 trillion which is 2.5% of the Nigeria 2026 budget was extracted from the airtime, data, and mobile money transactions of Nigerians who are already struggling to eat. A significant portion of that profit flows back to MTN Group headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Nigeria is not MTN’s market. Nigeria is MTN’s feeding trough.

Now understand the mechanics of how this works.

MTN Nigeria charges Nigerians some of the most expensive data rates relative to income in Africa. The Nigerian government through the NCC approved a 50% tariff increase in early 2025, citing inflation and naira devaluation. Data revenue surged 63% to $1.84 billion in 2025, accounting for 53% of total MTN revenue. 

So the naira collapsed. Nigerians got poorer. The government approved higher telecom tariffs and MTN’s profits doubled.

The Nigerian poor paid for a South African company’s record earnings.

Then there is the profit repatriation structure.

When MTN Nigeria makes N1.7 trillion in profit, that money does not stay in Nigeria building infrastructure, creating jobs, or developing local technology capacity. The majority flows upward to MTN Group in South Africa through dividends, management fees, licensing fees, and intercompany transactions that are entirely legal and entirely extractive.

MTN Group reported a profit after tax of $1.53 billion in 2025 across the group. Nigeria and Ghana account for the overwhelming majority of that figure. 

South Africa’s economy benefits from profits generated by Nigerian consumers. Nigeria gets the network. South Africa gets the wealth.

Now add the technology dependency.

MTN imports its core network infrastructure from foreign suppliers including Chinese, European, and American technology companies.  Nigeria has no meaningful local technology manufacturing industry feeding into that supply chain. Every base station, every router, every core network element is imported. The dollars leave Nigeria twice. Once through the supply chain and once through profit repatriation.

Research has shown that multinational corporations operating in Nigeria have done more harm than good in terms of profit repatriation, non-technology transfer, and failure to develop local capacity. MTN is the most visible example of that finding in action.

A Nigerian farmer in Katsina buys N500 airtime. That transaction generates revenue for MTN Nigeria, which declares profit, which pays dividends to MTN Group, which reports earnings to shareholders in Johannesburg, which strengthens South Africa’s capital markets and investor confidence.

The farmer gets call credit that expires in 14 days.

South Africa gets foreign earnings from a Nigerian subsistence farmer who has never left his state.

That is not business but an economic colonialism with a SIM card.

And the Tinubu government’s response to this arrangement is to approve tariff increases that make MTN more profitable, appoint regulators who do not challenge the profit repatriation structure, and then hold press conferences about economic recovery.

Nigeria has 220 million people and the largest telecom market in Africa.

A Nigerian-owned national telecom champion should be the dominant player in this market, building local infrastructure, training local engineers, and keeping Nigerian wealth inside Nigerian borders.

Instead we have a South African company doubling its profits on the backs of the poorest consumers on the continent while its CEO tells Nigerians that unlimited data is a fantasy.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

The Nigerian Police Force have rescued Adelabu's kidnapped family under 72H.

Under 3days.

46 children and their teachers, are still in captivity after 3 weeks.

If the entire workforce in Oyo state isn't occupying the streets next week - all of you are fools.

[Slim @onu_slim]

MTN Nigeria CEO Karl Toriola told Nigerians that unlimited data does not exist anywhere in the world unless you are paying a fortune.

Nigerians abroad immediately responded with screenshots of their unlimited plans costing the equivalent of three hours of minimum wage work in the UK.

Karl said nowhere in the world. Nigerians pulled out receipts from the world.

Let us be factual.

India. Jio offers unlimited data, calls, and SMS for the equivalent of N3,500 a month.

UK. Three UK and O2 have unlimited plans a British minimum wage worker clears in under two hours.

USA. T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon all sell unlimited plans. Widely available, Heavily advertised.

Several African markets including South Africa offer near-unlimited plans at more affordable income-relative prices than Nigeria.

What Karl actually meant to say is this.

Unlimited data does not exist anywhere MTN operates at the prices MTN is willing to charge while maintaining the profit margins required to keep shareholders comfortable.

That is the honest sentence. It is just not one a CEO can say in public.

So he said nowhere in the world instead and hoped Nigerians were too poor and too disconnected to fact-check him.
