There's this very wealthy African businessman, true story, who accumulated his wealth through the most violent exploitative way possible. He would rip people off their land and resources in his community and make their children serve him.
Initially, he had no plans of giving his servants freedom. He was getting a lot of hits for it. So he eventually figured out a way to give them “fake” freedom just to pacify critics.
But that's where it gets interesting. Once any of the boys is “freed,” he would find a way to insert himself in their business just so he can remotely control it. His goal is to ensure they are never established so they can depend on him forever. Depending on him makes him more and more powerful for as long as that arrangement lasts.
So as one of his ex-boys, if you start doing well on your own, you will die mysteriously or something bad happens to your business. If you allow him to control your affairs, including choosing your wife and employees, who would sabotage you from within to make sure his interference caps your growth, you will be just fine.
He insists you don't manufacture your own products, and positions himself as your only supplier. He allows you to sell him your raw materials, but he’s the only one to refine and sell them to you all at his fixed prices. If you try to manufacture on your own or change suppliers, something bad happens to you.
I have a question: when these ex-boys of his fail to succeed (which is the case, unless you want to pay with your life), who do you blame? Them or the master?
Now replace the wealthy African man with the West, and his boys with African nations. That is colonialism and neocolonialism explained. I had to use a wealthy African man as an example, because Africans have been socialized to only understand a crime when it’s committed by someone who looks like them. They have been conditioned to never see anything wrong in whatever the white man does.
This is why decolonization is a MUST before Africa can progress.
My youngest sister has been kidnapped! She was kidnapped on Monday, 13 April 2026, on her way to Abuja to report for duties from Ogun State, Nigeria.
We have not gotten precise information about where the incident happened. She reached us briefly around https://t.co/SSbleryjd1 Wednesday, 15 April 2026, that she has been kidnapped since on Monday without details of who kidnapped her, why, and where she is before the phone was taken from her.
The kidnappers have been calling for ransom. They demanded 100 million naira, but we have negotiated it down to 40 million naira. I can not the ransom they are demanding.
They are calling me with registered numbers.
Our preliminary findings have it that this happened in Kabba, Kogi State, Nigeria. She was kidnapped along with other passengers in a Chisco bus at Kabba, Kogi State, Nigeria.
I have been to three different police stations. One in Lagos and the two at Mowe and Redeemed Police stations. The police stations have no tracking system and that since there is no information about location, police said they can't work.
I have been in contact with Ogun and Kogi States Police Commands. Nothing has come out of it.
I called police national PPRO. He said I should go and report it at the nearest police station after I had already reported. While trying to explain further, he ended the call and did not pick up my calls again until now.
She remains in the harsh and harrowing den of the kidnappers for 11 days now.
I do not want to lose my sister. She is a very young girl who is just starting life.
Please help us to spread this widely until the authorities concerned see it, act on it, rescue her alive, safe, and unconditionally.
Thank you sir/ma.

🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Sources inside the Real Madrid dressing room describe a noticeable shift in atmosphere since Álvaro Arbeloa’s influence has taken hold. Several players, speaking off the record, say the environment now feels "freer" and "more natural."
A stark contrast to the more structured dynamic they experienced under Xabi Alonso, which they weren't all happy about. Several players have felt a load dropped off their backs now that Alonso's gone.
🚨 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙���𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗗: The team finishing 7th in the Premier League will qualify for the 2026/27 Champions League season if:
• Aston Villa win the Europa League and finish 5th or 6th in the Premier League.
• Liverpool win the Champions League and finish 5th or 6th in the Premier League.
🇧🇷🇭🇷 Vini Jr: “There is no one like Modrić. He is at AC Milan, he was at Real Madrid last year, the best in the world. Crazy!”.
“I really miss him because he was always teaching us something. He didn’t like to lose, in trainings too. He was so angry!”,
told @IbaiLlanos.

🚨🔵🔴 Tomás Marqués’ new deal at Barcelona includes €20m release clause, contract valid until June 2028.

MKO is dead.
Humphrey Nwosu is dead.
Kudirat Abiola is dead.
Sani Abacha is dead.
Ernest Shonekan is dead.
Augustus Aikhomu is dead.
The obnoxious disgusting IBB waited patiently for all the important people involved in the June 1993 election fiasco to die before he wrote a useless fiction book where he is now rebranded as the victim and all the villains in his delusional tales are now dead so nobody can call him out on his dirty distasteful lies.
Who know who is next?
Maybe Gowon will soon write his own book now that Ojukwu is dead, or he may wait till 2031, when it will be 20 years after Ojukwu’s death, so that he can conveniently make himself the victim and lie copiously against a dead man who can no longer defend himself.
A convention of cold callous criminals.
IBB had shown no genuine repentance, if he had, he wouldn’t attempt to pull a wool over the eyes of Nigerians by publishing a half truth to distort history and hoodwink all of us.
Therefore, it is safe to say that IBB’s book launch wasn’t a book launch per se, if you look at it critically and holistically. It was just a get together of few Nigerians IBB allocated oil wells to over 32 years ago.
They’ve become stupendously rich 32 years later at the expense of the greater Nigerian population, so, they decided to come together to raise some billions of Naira to water the flower of corruption that enriched all of them.
Nothing more, nothing less.
