And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: 'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown'

"Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits-not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space"

@amasonic Wait, what in the medieval event is this?!

Can't believe these guys are about to win the world cup with these ridiculous French collar jerseys 😅

[A. @asaryaaa]

England's world cup run is inspiring. At this point I'm rooting for them.

@1sthand2 It is a tripartite grift. The Treasury extracts the visa fees to keep the lights on. The media churns out the "invasion" headlines for profit. And the public swallows it whole, because xenophobia is a much cheaper psychological pill than confronting State & local policy failure.

You can just tell this Egypt Goalie has spent hours and hours reviewing Messi penalties

Nigeria really did us strong thing by not qualifying for the last two world cups. Because why is my 6 year old asking if we have a football team 🫠

@amasonic Unfortunately if you scratch the surface, you will find a lot of folks like this who do minimum work and wait for a miracle or destiny helper. I have encountered some.

@nwoko_greg62705 Correction, this was 1985. I was thinking about the 1983 coup that brought Buhari to power.

[A. @asaryaaa]

@nwoko_greg62705 Reflecting back on this, This particular coup was quite gutsy considering the fate of the last set of soldiers (Dimka and Co.) who staged the 1976 coup. Granted, civilian govt but still. It appears there were a particular crop of officers who were great at coups (Abacha included)

It's the general operating system they all run; the UK has one of the worst versions.

See what happened with Intl students recently. A single cohort was estimated to contribute about £41.9bn to the economy.

Yet, the public framing became "students are abusing the route" b/c politicians were too frightened to say plainly that universities & local economies had become dependent on them. Their very lifeblood, even. Which was what the government, in the first place, had pushed the universities to do when they asked for funding and a proper policy.

Then they moved the same framing onto immigrants generally. And accelerated the agenda when they saw they could lose some seats to fringe far-right parties.

The UK is one of the most expensive countries to enter legally.
People paying visa fees, IHS, rent, tax & NI are still discussed as if they arrived with a bowl in one hand & a benefits form in the other.

That is, anyway, the defining feature of empire. The state wants the labour and the money, but it does not want the cost of telling voters the truth about who is keeping parts of the engine room running.

@amasonic I think the SA portfolio is apt. They deserve our bottom barrel stuff 😅

[A. @asaryaaa]

@amasonic The part where he proceeds to list all his fellow nepo money squanderers made me lose it 😅🤣, Like at least your friend is no longer alive, but why proceed to snitch on some of the biggest names in politics and business ... unprovoked

[A. @asaryaaa]

@amasonic 😅 wild write up. Have read it like 3 times now. No way he wrote this sober

[A. @asaryaaa]

Nigeria is a post shame society; it is where shame goes to shrivel and die.

@nigeriasbest Like many Lagos nepo babies of the 70s and 80s who aren't as prosperous anymore the guy is obsessed with the past.
