That's the sharpest observation in the whole GOAT debate and it barely gets talked about.

Reach a final, get criticized.

Exit in the group stage, get a pass.

The standard was never really about results.

It was about who the narrative had already decided to protect.

Does it now make sense to you why most people on this app defend mass wedding, Almajiri and terrorism?

Gumi is not the only one with this disturbing line of thought. Most regions in this country wants to call their home-bred terrorists to the negotiation table to give them what they want, in the hope that they’ll stop terrorizing people.

Our stupidity is saturated & communicable.

I asked my junior resident on rounds today: Why do we treat a UTI in a woman with 3 days of pills and send her home, but a UTI in a man is automatically classified as a complicated infection?

He mumbled something vague about anatomy.

They defend mass weddings but won't advocate for mass education and poverty reduction. The joke writes itself, what a shame

[Man of Letters. @Letter_to_Jack]

When you see events like this, it should serve as a reminder of why Nigeria must complete the return to true federalism, whatever the cost.

If a state/region generates its own revenue and then remits an agreed fraction to the federal government, they are free to spend the rest according to the interest and priorities of their people. No one will complain about how they choose to spend their own money.

Nigeria cannot continue with a one-size-fits-all system. We are not a homogeneous society. Even if we overlook our smaller differences and focus only on the major cultural and historical distinctions, we will figure that we are at least 6 different peoples, with different values, priorities, and idea of governance.

For Nigeria to remain one and succeed, true Federalism to the very last detail is non-negotiable.

Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.

"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."

This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).

Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.

As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.

@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.

But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.
