Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths

Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

We must always remember and never to forget.

May 30th Biafran Memorial Day. 🕯♥️

[Zion X @bertsygrands]

The Biafra genocide & the attempted annihilation of the Igbo people in Nigeria in the guise of a civil war btw 1967 to 1970 is yet the most evil deed on the face of this earth. The world isn't ready for this story, but it would be told someday.

@IgboHistoFacts No it isn’t

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

One of the most effective tools of oppressive systems in Africa, including in bodies like CAF, is delayed justice.

You are told: don’t protest, follow procedure, file a complaint.

But by the time the process ends, the outcome has already taken effect.

We see it in football.
During the Senegal incident, some people are arguing teams should play on and complain later.

Yet trophies are awarded before any ruling arrives, and there is no replay.

We see the same pattern in politics and elections.
Go to court, people are told.
By the time judgment comes, power has already settled.

This is not a failure of systems.
It is how corrupt systems protect themselves .

Delayed justice creates the appearance of order while denying real accountability.

Many Africans have seen this pattern play out.
You probably have an example.

“AFCON SMEAR CAMPAIGN”
(Same Game, Different Judgement)

A comment by Darren Lewis, a respected British sports journalist, deserves real credit. Paraphrasing his point:

We need to stop pushing the lazy narrative that what happened at the AFCON final is somehow a stain on all of African football.

When England fans vandalised Wembley after Euro 2020, it wasn’t framed as a failure of European football.

When Calciopoli exposed deep corruption in Italy and Juventus were relegated, it wasn’t used to discredit European club football as a whole.

When Steve Bruce led Sheffield United off the pitch during an FA Cup tie against Arsenal at Highbury, no one claimed it represented English football.

Yet, similar incidents at AFCON are quickly weaponised to question the legitimacy, organisation, and credibility of African football as a whole.

That double standard is the real issue, not the tournament.

Same game. Same problems. Different judgement.
AFCON isn’t the problem, the bias is.

Senegal coach has been suspended. Suspended for speaking up against cheating and corruption. The whole Africa stands with Pape Thiaw

[Zion X @bertsygrands]

@sholard_mancity Well, if the rest of the member nations allow this travesty of justice, then the joke is on us all. Morocco should be sanctioned for the way they treated the Senegalese team and probably banned from ever hosting CAF again, instead.

[Enigmas @Enigmas0x]

The argument isn't just that Nigerians are passive—it’s that they have weaponized "Resilience" as a psychological trap.

​In most parts of the world, resilience means the ability to recover from a blow.

In the Nigerian context, it has been mutated into the ability to absorb abuse indefinitely.

​The critics of the walk-off are the same people who wait in 10-hour fuel queues without a murmur.

To them, the proper way to handle an unfair referee (or an unfair government) is to endure it until the final whistle and then complain in private.

There is a pathetic obsession with behaving well for an international audience that doesn't actually care.

The Moroccan team was rattled because someone finally refused to follow the script.

Nigerians hate that because it reminds them of the scripts they follow every day.

Nigeria is a nation built on legalisms rather than convictions.

​We value the process of looking civilized over the result of being free.
​A walk-off is uncivilized. A protest is disorderly.

​Consequently, the only "acceptable" form of progress is one that is signed, sealed, and delivered by the very powers that are oppressing you.

​The reason the potato can't understand rocket physics is that the potato’s entire existence is based on staying buried.

​To a culture that views submission as a spiritual duty, defiance looks like madness.

​The critics aren't actually upset that the team walked off; they are terrified of the precedent.

If a football team can decide the terms of their engagement, then perhaps the average citizen can too.

And that level of responsibility is a burden most would rather leave for God.

[Zion X @bertsygrands]

@Enigmas0x I'm speechless. Omg! "To a culture that views submission as a spiritual duty, defiance looks like madness." I couldn't agree with you more!

[Zion X @bertsygrands]

@OzorNdiOzor Who said black Americans don't have a culture? This is amazing! It's done in Africa, too, but differently. This energy is unrivaled.

[Zion X @bertsygrands]

@DavidHundeyin A very interesting conversation! Your perspective on democracy and the African reality was profound! Even more important was the very pertinent question you asked, "Has democracy actually worked for Africa?" This for me is a million-dollar question. I look forward to part 2.

[Zion X @bertsygrands]

@instablog9ja Corrupt practices amongst public servants continue to flourish boldly cos there's no deterrent to them. His predecessor set the precedent without any consequences, so, why not a 2.0?

[Zion X @bertsygrands]

@instablog9ja Another scheme to loot. Wasn't that how the former minister of this same ministry spent billions transferring cash to Nigerians and yet many didn't get it, and it didn't lift them out of poverty. She even fed school children with mind-boggling figures while schools on lockdown.
