Most people are not special, rational, or particularly good. They're tribal primates running social scripts, ranking status, and defending comforting lies over evidence. Intelligence, drive, and outcomes are heavily genetic. Equality of result is a fantasy. The average person will never produce anything of lasting value, and the world is carried by a thin minority they resent.
GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

"In terms of football DNA, we want to BECOME like Barcelona." 🔵🔴
“We want to have that focus of wanting to have the ball, high pressing, possession, which is ATTRACTIVE FOOTBALL”
Here's some fuel for all the Europoor haters:
Germany just told us we'd have to fire one of our 3 founders to qualify for funding.
I was in talks with a German state-backed fund of fund managing billions, with one single mandate: invest in German funds to drive innovation and economic growth in the country.
They literally told me they like us a lot and are also impressed by our track record and performance so far, and even though not everyone in their team is a fan of our thesis, they believe in it.
But they passed for a whole different reason:
Because our all-male team of 3 people isn't "diverse enough" lol.
they literally told me: hire two more female partners (impossible on the economics of a fund our size), or let one of the three of us go to make room for a quota hire. do that, and they'd strongly consider investing.
I won't even get into how discriminatory this is toward men in the first place. nobody takes that seriously anyway, and honestly I don't care.
but what actually gets me is something bigger: as a German, I have to face the fact that the whole world continuing to laugh at Germany and overall Europe is completely justified.
a system that quietly kills the smallest, hungriest teams, the exact ones this money was created to support. and then everyone acts surprised that talent and capital keep leaving the country.
thinking exercise for those who care...
did the Nigerians being empathetic to the turtle's course evolve the empathy innately or are they simply beneficiaries of the education and exposure that comes with the socio-economic class they are in...
is your concern innate or did you co-opt it by learning from an intelligent and emotionally regulated people?
Foreign Man Pays Men Attempting to Sell Sea Turtle Along Road Near Eko Hotel, Lagos, and Returns It to the Sea
"Today, I witnessed something that genuinely broke my heart but also restored a little of my faith in humanity.
While leaving Eko Hotel, Lagos State, I saw some men trying to sell a sea turtle in the middle of the road as though it were an ordinary item of trade.
A foreign man stopped and tried everything possible to stop them. He shouted, pleaded and appealed to the people around him, including the uniformed police officers present, to understand that what they were doing was wrong.
Sadly, it seemed his voice was the only one speaking up for a creature that couldn't speak for itself.
However, he refused to give up. He eventually paid the men for the turtle, not to own it but to give it another chance at life.
With the assistance of a police van, the turtle was taken back to the sea and released into its natural habitat."
— A lady shares what she witnessed near Eko Hotel in Lagos State.
but you see, it's not merely because you have satisfied your most basic needs is what makes you recognize that what he is doing is wrong...
it's because you have co-opted the idea that it is wrong because of your educational status.
you did not evolve to think it is wrong, you only learnt it was because of your socio-economical class 😂
Oga shut up. Just because you've decided to waste your 1 in 400 trillion (and only) chance at existence, by allowing a random 7th century Arabian man dictate every facet of your life, doesn't mean we have to play along or that he must be special and/or "respected" by everyone else.
It is your belief. Practice whatever you want and stop trying to control everyone and dictate what people can and cannot do. The world does not revolve around you or Islam.
No ideology should be exempted from criticism, scrutiny, or mockery. If only those in the north knew the importance of that freedom they wouldn't be in the bondage they're in today.
Nobody gives a rat's ass that you're offended. Your views are also offensive to people of other faiths but it's only you rasicalised dimwits that think you should have the right to harm people because they said something unsavoury about your "holy prophet" fuck outta here abeg.
If you traveled to Berlin to tell people that King Leopold killed people, you'd be exposing nothing. That's History 101.
There is a fundamental question these woke dummies who claim to want to save Africa ignore.
Yes, Belgium's King Leopold turned the Congo into a personal slaughterhouse. Millions murdered. Hands chopped off for rubber. So what?
What does that help with the economy today? What does that help with healthcare? Infrastructure? Technology? Development?
Having an international platform and using it to tell everyone what they already know. How is that going to help Africa?
The problem with these woke people is they think they're being attacked when they're asked to be logical, not emotional.
Yes, we go back to that history, to reflect on how far Africa has come, not as a strategy, a victimhood script, or a self-pity guidebook, because that doesn't help.
Africa needs builders, not crybabies looking for every opportunity to compete in the Victimhood Olympics.
Almost every nation has its dark chapter, but don't use it the way it's used for Africa, to gain sympathy that doesn't build or help anything.
