Nigeria is in the global top 5. Unlike the US and China, ours doesn't go to transportation. It goes to keeping the lights on.

🚨A must read feedback about xenophobia in South Africa.
Thank you for the criticism & feedback. 👇🏾
“Pan-Africanism is not a sentiment. It's not just "Africans should love each other." Real Pan-Africanism, the kind that Nkrumah and Cabral and Biko were actually talking about, is built on a clear-eyed analysis of colonial and neocolonial structures. It asks who benefits from African disunity. It asks who wins when Black people in Lagos and Black people in Johannesburg are at each other's throats.
The answer to that question is not another Black African.
Pan-African solidarity that papers over structural inequality isn't solidarity. It's a performance. It asks Black South Africans to extend grace to other Africans without anyone extending grace to them about the foundational injustice that still shapes their daily lives.
That's not a sustainable ask. And it will keep failing until the deeper conversation gets had.”
Nelson Mandela chose democracy over land.
Black South Africa got the vote. White South Africa kept the economy. 30 years later, Black South Africans are fighting each other over scraps from a table they still don't own.
That's the conversation @VusiThembekwayo almost had.
We need to get to that stage where we’re paying one actor a million dollars. Tom Cruise makes $15m with one film. What makes him so special?’
Dammy Twitch on Nollywood needing to dream bigger, and build an industry where talent is valuable enough to command global-level deals.
Talent alone won’t get you into the rooms you dream of.
Because no matter how talented you are, charisma, professionalism, and the way you treat people can be the difference between being remembered and being replaced by the next talented person.
