When they want to tax us, they cite the US and the UK.
When we ask them to provide us with the basic amenities the citizens of the US and UK enjoy, they either say Nigeria is poor or we can’t afford it.
Lmao. If you like, allow these guys to gaslight you.
@abdullahayofel From the image alone, the man in blue exudes a clear presidential presence, an air of confidence and authority. while the other, regrettably, does not project the same gravitas.
You know that episode of Rick & Morty where Rick reveals that there is an entire civilisation of people living inside his car battery who don't know that the sole purpose of their whole existence is to generate electricity to power a mad scientist's wacky space adventure car?
That is where Nigeria is right now, and that's why I am militant to the point of putting myself in trouble by talking about why Nigerians need to stage the most bloody and violent revolution Africa has ever witnessed. Because entire future branches of history are being wiped out because young Nigerians are trapped in an economy whose job is to make white people and a tiny Nigerian minority rich at the expense of 230,000,000 people like this.
This 19 year-old kid already has the sagging shoulders of a 47 year-old man with the world's weight on him, and he has already learned to not expect anything good to ever happen to him in life. All it took to show him a fork in his future trajectory was a fucking $47 tile cutting machine, and he's now going to hold on to this new opportunity and make a better life for himself - but there are literally millions of him out there that will never meet a benefactor, or that don't even have the skills needed to maximise this opportunity.
There is only ONE entity in any African country that has the power to carry out interventions like this in people's lives on a large scale - the state! A content creator can change one life like this and get viewed 10 million times, but a government can change 10 million lives like this without batting an eyelid! Only the government has the transformational capital and the incentive to do this in millions of lives!
That is why being led by people who don't work for you is a literal life-and-death matter! When we talk about neo-colonialism, this is what the fuck it is about! When you have a government installed by foreigners, which allocates billions of Naira in public revenues to enrich foreign intelligence assets like Gilbert Chagoury via transnational corruption schemes like the nonexistent "coastal highway" - this is the result!
Nigeria's money is not being used to invest in the lives and betterment of Nigerian people! It is being used to enrich white men in Washington DC who are already richer than God, with a fraction going to their local collaborators in Abuja! This kid and millions like him are the direct victims! Their future possibilities and bloodlines are being extinguished with poverty so that Peter McBillionaireStein and Matthew Von WhiteManBerg in Manhattan and London can increase their Q3 dividend payout by 15%. Neo-colonialism is not a victimless crime!
You are all living inside Rick Sanchez's car battery!
Sometimes the smallest act of kindness carries the greatest reward. Removing harm from the path of others is a deed beloved to Allah, and sincerity in small actions can lead to great forgiveness.

@ishaqsamaila5 ‘Importation must continue’? That’s a retrogressive mindset. Rather than entrench dependence on imports, the government should be compelled to fix and fully operationalize the 3 existing refineries, allowing them to function efficiently and compete on equal footing with Dangote's
@HighChiefOkoro That’s a lazy conclusion. Obi’s 2023 run proved that influence isn’t solely built on political structures, he galvanized the nation with no governors, no power base, and yet people followed because they believed in him. 2027 will reveal just how deep that belief runs.
@SaharaReporters We need more recruits because our security system is overstretched, yet somehow we can spare troops for another country’s agenda? The math truly isn’t mathing. Nawa o.
@channelstv Calling this breaking mews is generous. It was predictable from miles away. Power preservation built on bootlicking has become less of an exception and more of their institutional culture.
