Nigerians have little idea how much intelligence they help the West, especially the US, gather. They are a loud-mouthed people who constantly speak on the internet, often unaware of the potential consequences.
Many Nigerians believe that Western intelligence agencies (such as the CIA, DGSE, etc.) operate exactly like they do in movies- images fed to them by streaming platforms. In reality, it's often simpler: their ignorance of sovereignty and security makes it easier for these agencies to operate whenever they talk loudly online or in gatherings sponsored by Western institutions.
In Nigeria, an activist claiming to stand with the people and flooding the internet with essays on sovereignty and economic independence might still be a guest of ambassadors from the US, France, Germany, the EU, or the UK. Similarly, a journalist, ostensibly a key asset of the country (though they often don't realise it, As the system is designed to keep them misinformed), proudly display bias and partisanship in news reports. It is also common for artists in Nigeria to lend their voices and talents to propaganda, directly or indirectly, in exchange for contracts and promises of prominence on Western platforms.
The core issue in Nigeria is a lack of self-awareness, which influences perceptions across politics, the economy, geopolitics, foreign affairs, culture, security, religion, and education. This lack of understanding makes the people vulnerable to manipulation and orchestrated campaigns like SOS activism.
A self-aware Nigerian poses the greatest threat to Western corporations intent on exploiting Nigeria's resources.
It is crucially important to loudly emphasize that the structural arrangements and the revenue-sharing formulas for extracted Nigerian crude oil that existed from 1993 up until 1998 during the Sani Abacha military government were fundamentally different from the submissive, neocolonial policies that existed after 1999, when Nigeria transitioned into a heavily compromised, Western-approved democratic government with Olusegun Obasanjo emerging as the president.
Under the Abacha administration, most of the deep offshore oil fields in Nigeria had not even been discovered yet, and the local domestic industries completely lacked the highly advanced technical infrastructure, the specialized deepwater drilling equipment, and the massive financial capital required for such high-level exploration. Consequently, the original policy framework was strictly designed to allow the greedy IOCs to merely perform the expensive, and dirty work of physical exploration, but they were legally and categorically forbidden from actually owning the oil blocks outright.
Under Abacha's uncompromising resource nationalism, any lucrative oil block had to be owned strictly by a local Nigerian company, and the foreign IOC would then be forced to enter into a highly regulated joint-venture agreement or a technical partnership with the local company if they wanted to participate in the lucrative production.
A highly famous example of this resource battle would be the notorious Malabu oil block (OPL 245). It was one of the single biggest, most lucrative deepwater oil blocks in the entire country, accounting for a staggering one-fourth of all known deepwater oil deposits in Nigeria at the time. Chevron pulled every single diplomatic lever, geopolitical string, and intelligence asset in Washington to bypass this rule and secure direct ownership of that block, but a fiercely resistant Abacha flatly refused, stood his ground, and insisted that the block must remain fully owned and managed by a local company.
However, just a few short months after this high-stakes geopolitical battle between Abacha and Chevron, Sani Abacha mysteriously, highly conveniently died, and Olusegun Obasanjo was ushered into power. The very first thing the Obasanjo administration did upon capturing Aso Rock was to aggressively seize, confiscate, and revoke all these highly lucrative oil blocks that rightfully belonged to indigenous Nigerian companies, only to hand them over on a silver platter to giant American oil majors and British energy cartels.
Not only did he commit this spectacular, generational economic treason, he single-handedly maintained the lopsided revenue-sharing formulas(designed for exploration only), ensured the Deep Offshore Act remained untouched, and allowed these Western conglomerates to continuously eat the lion's share of Nigeria's liquid wealth.
Even the mineral-rich Bakassi Peninsula, which Abacha had heavily barricaded with battle-ready Nigerian troops to resolutely stop Cameroon from seizing the massive, lucrative offshore oil and gas reserves it contained, was quietly forfeited and signed away by Obasanjo under the submissive guise of international diplomacy and legal compliance.
Just in: “Davido On Behalf of the Entire Northerners i Apologize to you don’t mind that APC Singer Dauda that said you committed T£rr0rism for putting the names of those kidnapped Oyo state kids on your Jacket, this same guy that’s insulting you his mother was kidnapped by bandits and he paid them ransom money” - Intelligent Northerner apologizes to Davido
@McFlybowy Ronaldo fans are the vilest. They will clutch to any excuse just to make him look good. They will never see any wrong in him. Just like APC.
@Big_Mck I watch Hollywood now just to see new propaganda they're trying to pass, then educate my family about it 😹
It always starts with movies, then Media, then an orchestrated fake occurrence to match thier agenda...
USA is a plague
As the world closes in on you, Israel, it's not because you are Jews but a country of war criminals who hold themselves out as above all international law and norms and common decency. For generations, you have played the victim card while victimizing all others.
@NitosMitros White people are stealing your resources, don't wanna share the wealth, treat you badly in their companies, but no, it is black foreigners you're will to chuck out and make noise about. Nywe nywe willing to do die for our country se voot, cowards
@NitosMitros Yes, ready to die and go to prison for scooter driving jobs, gardening jobs, domestic worker jobs, waiter jobs, bricklaying jobs, spaza shops, while 80% of the economy firmly remains in White hands. Tragic.
@NitosMitros You are ready to die? But you don't have the balls to fight the white people that have stolen your lands? All foreigners must leave? When are the white going to leave? I have never seen such level of retards in my life before. Morons
@akintollgate It’s in this same administration that you had to close down multiple of your stores due to terrible economic situation.
As a man. It’s very important that you have your freedom.
This one here is a proof that you can have money and still be a SLAVE.
Pathetic.
@IranObserver0@DerenicByrd Don’t fall for this theatrical twist. America/the republicans are trying to reinstate their image in America by creating this obvious well planned “disagreement” with Israel. Remember that the midterms are around the corner. Don’t fall for it, people. This is political theatre.
Yorubas protested for LASG to sack Somoga, an Igbo lady who rides train in Lagos. They said, yoruba job for yorubas even though most of them don't know anything.
Surprisingly, emir of iwo allocated hectares of lands to Fulanis but no single protest or outcry.
Yorubas too mumu.
