In 2024, rapper Ikechukwu met a US cab driver. He was in Nigeria during the Biafra genocide.
He said: "I was in Kaduna and there were mercenaries there. They were at Hamdala hotel. They wake up in the morning, have breakfast and they fly over Biafra & drop bombs."
Fact is..

The reason your mother fried Akara to send you to school is so that you can be a better citizen of the society and have a fighting chance against poverty. She didn't do it for you to come online and defend frying of Akara as economic empowerment. Don't waste her efforts.

Let me tell you what Tinubu wants to do.
They’ll just collect the data and present it as a KPI, key performance indicator, to prove the Nigerian economy is growing and MSMEs are booming. Meanwhile, in reality, those exact same businesses are suffocating.
You all think these politicians are daft abi? You’re literally handing them the tools to use against you.
One thing I find painful is that life could be SO EASY, like SO ÐAMN EASY. There is so much stuff rotting in storage units, in garages, nearly half of all food goes to waste, there's enough clothing for the next Six(6) generations!!! We don't even need to be working really at all, our ancestors broke down their bodies to build all this sht, the least we could do is slow down to actually utilize and fairly distribute it all. Instead, we all suffer endlessly while 8 men control half the world's wealth.

Suddenly, pseudo intellectuals are pushing the dubious narrative that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are sustainable means of livelihood.
How about groundnut and sachet water business? They should include them too.
The defenders of this wicked regime are telling us that Remi Tinubu has donated billions of Naira to NGOs.
First, they should tell us where she got such money from.
Second, they should provide the names and locations of the benefiting NGOs, and verifiable evidence that the donations have been properly utilized.
The advocates of akara economy should set up this business for their siblings and family members to demonstrate the efficacy of their postulations.
Since your mother sold akara to train you, why haven’t you opened akara factory for your wife, daughters, sons and political associates to promote and sustain your mother’s entrepreneurial legacy?
With the collapse of public education, how many akara sellers in this country currently can afford to pay their children’s tuition in private schools?
How many akara sellers can pay the rising costs of tertiary education and healthcare?
How many akara sellers can afford to pay the rising rents in Nigeria today?
How many akara will one sell to be able to buy fuel?
If akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are viable and sustainable microeconomic investments in Tinubu’s Nigeria, let the defenders of Tinubu show us members of their families that are engaged in this enterprise.
The point is not that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli aren’t necessary foods, the point is that we are all witnesses to how the Tinubu family has amassed wealth and captured state power to entrench and further their selfish and greedy ambitions.
We have seen the insane convoy of Remi Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu and their benefactor in Aso Rock.
It is deceitful and disrespectful for the same family that is living in opulence, amidst the ravaging and dangerous hunger in the country, to be pushing akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli economy.
Bola Tinubu’s regime has been a wasteful and disastrous experiment.
We have seen how he is destroying our economy. But his annoying and power monger wife feels she can lecture the victims of their misrule and incompetence about the viability of the akara economy.
Enough of the silly expositions.
The memefication of outrage is what will ensure that no matter how egregious the actions of politicians, Nigerians will, instead of reacting in any useful way, turn to memes and skits, giggling as their home burns down.
Reminds me of the timeless words of satirist Peter Cook who, at the height of the satire boom of the 60's in Britain and worried that political comedy was turning into a facetious distraction, said that Britain is "in danger of sinking, giggling into the sea".
We are PRIVATE citizens, the government should know very little if anything about us at all.
They are PUBLIC officials, we should know damn near everything about what they are doing.
The cameras are pointed the wrong way.
El capitalismo se basa en la idea absurda de tener un crecimiento ilimitado, en un mundo con recursos finitos.

I mentioned flying with a Chinese man from Dubai to Nigeria and he was heading to Kaduna. My confusion was what was a Chinese man going to do in Kaduna? The little conversation I had with him hinted that he was an expatriate. I’d to even lend him my phone to call his contact person when we landed Lagos.
Now, have you ever wondered why the North is war-plagued? Do you think it was just a coincidence?
The North has a lot of natural resources. So, if the region is a no-go area, they can mine these resources without remitting anything to the government. A senator once raised this concerns during a senate hearing.
They will clandestinely bring in experts to help them mine these resources.
Bandits kidnapped a medical doctor. They tied him up, set up fire, grabbed his hand and put it inside the burning fire. Everyday, they burn a portion of his hand while he watched & screamed of severe pain. They kept burning the hand daily until they reached his shoulder. They then collected 15 million naira ransom and still killed him. These are the animals government wants to forgive & reward with free houses.
Awolowo said he doesn't want the children of his cooks or drivers to turn out to be cooks and drivers themselves, reason he made sure free and qualitative education was available to all in the Western region.
People dey defend frying Akara as economic empowerment in 2026
