This malicious media profiling of Nigerian youths has to stop immediately.
When Europeans commit heinous crimes overseas, the act is strictly treated as a personal, moral failing. The offender is judged solely as an individual, and their nationality is completely detached from their criminal behavior. But when a Nigerian commits the exact same crime, the global media definition of crime suddenly metamorphoses. All of a sudden, this random individual whom none of us has ever seen before is elevated and forcefully made the brand ambassador of the moral dignity of the entire Nigerian nation.
Senator Shehu Sani, I expect a man of your supposed educational capability and political exposure to read between the lines and see that this is a calculated psychological warfare waged against your own people.
Crime is a universal human flaw and it is absolutely not peculiar to any nation or race. But when it relates to Nigeria, we are systematically marginalized, stereotyped, heavily criminalized, and globally blacklisted just to project a false, barbaric image of the black skin to the European public. And yet you, Mr. Senator, are actively helping to amplify this ruthless media campaign against your own citizens.
In this exact same country of Thailand, about 13 white Europeans were busted just last year for operating massive boiler room scam call centers, explicitly targeting vulnerable European retirees and ruthlessly pressuring them into buying fake stocks and fraudulent cryptocurrency investments.
In this very same Thailand, between January 2025 and May 2026, Thai police have arrested about 100 Chinese nationals in their ongoing crackdown on international crime syndicates. These Chinese nationals are not merely running low-quality internet scams with cheap AI gimmicks. Some of these Chinese scammers are heavily armed with military-grade weapons and run highly sophisticated transnational cartels.
In January 2025 alone, Thai immigration police dismantled a massive call-center base in downtown Bangkok, arresting six Chinese operatives and seizing over 200,000 Thai SIM cards and highly advanced SIM Box servers capable of generating 600,000 scam calls per single hour.
Yet, you have not for one single second condemned the Chinese, the white Europeans, or the Indians for "damaging the image of their countries".
Do you know why you have never made a public condemnation regarding them? Because when it is no longer black faces committing the crimes, the global media algorithm and Western news outlets suddenly become cold and silent like a graveyard. You confidently call yourself a Pan-Africanist, yet you comfortably allow your platform to be used as a staging ground for large-scale Western propaganda targeted squarely at the self-esteem of your own people.
Do you really want to know the actual people damaging the image and the soul of Nigerians? It is the International Oil Companies. These IOCs extract billions of dollars worth of wealth from the Niger Delta region while leaving behind devastating oil spills, toxic gas flaring, and heavily polluted waters that permanently destroy the agricultural and aquatic livelihoods of the local host communities.
The real scammers in this country are these IOCs, because they are legally permitted to recover their drilling costs before sharing the profit from our crude oil.
Through "creative accounting", they maliciously and artificially inflate these drilling costs. Where a deep-water extraction project is actually supposed to cost $1 billion dollars, they fraudulently quote $2 billion or even three billion dollars. This means that tens of billions of dollars that are legally supposed to be directed towards building world-class highways, state-of-the-art hospital facilities, modern educational institutions, and mechanized agricultural hubs are instead seamlessly funneled directly into the offshore bank accounts of Chevron, Shell, and ExxonMobil.
Of course, the Nigerian government will not do a single thing about this monumental corporate theft, because the political elite are either active board members of this global crime syndicate, like Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari, or they are bloody, spineless cowards in the face of Western imperialism, like Goodluck Jonathan and (very soon) Peter Obi.
So, if you are truly witch-hunting for the people damaging the image of this country, go after the comprador elites in the APC government to which you pledge your political allegiance.
Go after the World Bank and the Bill Gates-funded Monsanto groups who have declared a biological war against our sovereign farmlands, systematically destroying our food security with their toxic, genetically modified seeds.
Go after the ruthless financial hitmen at the IMF who dictate our monetary policies, forcing the endless devaluation of the Naira and plunging millions of hard-working families into multidimensional poverty.
Go after the shadowy foreign mining syndicates that are covertly sponsoring banditry and terrorism in the North just to illegally extract our gold, uranium, and lithium while innocent Nigerian blood flows freely in the streets.
Go after the corrupt political judges and the brazen electoral thieves who proudly steal the democratic mandate of the people in broad daylight, stripping this nation of any lingering global respect or diplomatic dignity.
Direct your self-righteous anger and your political podium at the actual architects of our national misery, confront the foreign imperialists and their local political enforcers who have auctioned off our collective future, and leave our traumatized, economically suffocated Nigerian youths alone.
That Immigration Nation documentary on Netflix is anti-law enforcement, anti-trump propaganda that's being disseminated within 90 days of a presidential election.
It took me a long time but I eventually learnt.
A woman will do everything to you but a woman will never lie to you.
You are the one who is not listening.
If she's not telling you with words, she's telling you with actions.
If you ignore signs, you will see wonders.
Rain couldn’t stop Bangladesh fans from watching Messi take on Switzerland yesterday. Honestly, I’ve never seen a footballer loved and adored like Lionel Messi. 🩵🐐
Defensive midfielder Leandro Paredes giving Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni some tactical lessons. This is why defensive midfielders (or deep lying midfielders in general) tend to turn out as good coaches. They see.
Bruno Fernandes est un Homme.
Après la déclaration de Cristiano Ronaldo affirmant que le Portugal a remporté l'Euro grâce à lui, le milieu de Manchester United a répondu avec une courte vidéo retraçant le scénario de cette finale. On y voit surtout les arrêts héroïques du gardien portugais ainsi que le but victorieux d'Éder.
Je comprends maintenant, les raisons du malaise qui semble régner au sein de cette sélection : l'arrogance du quintuple Ballon d'Or.
Toujours le même refrain : « Moi, moi, moi… I'm back. »
Pendant ce temps, son idole, Lionel Messi, qui porte lui aussi sa sélection depuis des années, ne s'attribue presque jamais les succès. Ce sont ses coéquipiers, ses entraîneurs et les observateurs qui lui reconnaissent naturellement le mérite de ses performances.
