@NigeriaStories Total collapse in 2026? Where are our engineers with several registrations? Is there nothing that can protect system wide collapse? When one or two 33kv tripped why did the relays or isolators (whatever) not trip. Are they outdated? Nigeria please wake up
I genuinely think we're completely fucked unless a patriotic dictator with balls of steel takes over.
I am not afraid to die for Nigeria, but I fear that even if I die on the street to protest for a new government, the same puppet masters will run the show behind the scenes.
Hence, we must have a patriotic dictator or an incredibly shrewd democrat.
Plus, any leader we get must be staunchly anti imperialist or we're all literally going to die.
Very grim times, David.
Very grim times.
Personally seeing Nigeria (fully) go the way of Somalia and DRC would break me.
@DavidHundeyin This is Africa’s time to rise. There has never been a better time but the greed of our leaders to line their pockets will not allow them see this. I pray Nigeria my country wakes up
Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you:
1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency.
2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads.
3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower.
4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes.
5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?)
6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have.
7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.
8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.
9. No great power gives a single fuck about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end!
@NigeriaStories Shame shame shame on this continuous drama. Nigeria’s functioning cannot get crude oil in its own country. Shame. It cannot be more obvious than this that some cabal wants the failure of this country for personal gains. Shame
@NigeriaStories Na today! Who has ever been caught or charged? So much noise about Abacha’s loot, where is it. Once ‘the right’ thing is done all sins are forgiven. Meanwhile the nation bleeds dry.
@NigeriaStories ₦210 trillion? That’s not a discrepancy, that’s daylight robbery in a suit and tie. One week to explain seven years of cooked books? Make it make sense. Nigeria isn’t broke, it’s just being looted in plain sight
@GRVlagos It was so bad that I had to park my car off road at Thompson/Glover junction at Ikoyi and walked all the way to Lagosia restaurant and back. I can’t get why any leader should do this. Shame!
