@elonmusk@Coinvo@elonmusk Singapore and Hong Kong are exceptions. Colonial infrastructure in Africa largely served resource extraction, not local development. A few exceptions don't disprove the broader pattern.
@billiano77@instablog9ja The greater wrongdoing lies in the abuse and mistreatment. Nevertheless, I won’t blame you; enduring subjugation for so long can dull awareness of it.
The story of Malam Bashar Sani is the reality of Northern Nigeria today !!!
He was a Director at the College of Education, Maru, in Zamfara State !!!
Years ago, bandits kidnapped his 2 wives !!!
He paid N10 million to free them !!!
Months later, they came for his junior brother, Hassan !!!
He paid another N3.5 million !!!
Terrified, he relocated his family to a crowded area, hoping for safety !!!
For a year and a half, they had peace !!!
Then the bandits found them again !!!
They kidnapped him, the same wife taken years before, and his daughter !!!
The ransom was N20 million, he managed to raise N7 million Naira !!!
It wasn’t enough !!!
They killed him after 42 days in captivity !!!
They released his wife and daughter !!!
One man !!! 3 kidnappings !!! Millions paid !!!
Still dead !!!
This is not a story !!!
This is what happens every day in our villages, our communities, our local governments !!!
May the soul of Malam Bashar Sani rest in peace !!!
Allah ya jikan sa, Allah ya bawa iyalansa hakuri !!!
