Ghana Launches E-Visa Platform

Ghana has officially launched its new e-Visa platform as part of efforts to modernize border control and improve travel access across Africa. Introduced on Africa Day by President John Mahama, the platform is designed to strengthen security, simplify visa applications, and support Ghana’s Pan-African vision of easier movement across the continent.

If Goodluck Jonathan is confirmed as a presidential candidate, you will have 4 major candidates for Nigeria’s 2027 elections.

That's one more major candidate every election since 2019.

2019: Buhari, Atiku
2023: Tinubu, Atiku, Obi.
2027: Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, GEJ.

The more major candidates you have the easier it is to rig the election. All that is required is to split the vote into 2, then split one half into 3.

This is how they deceive you with democracy.

You complained that Buhari was heading for a one-party state, they gave you a “3-party state.” Now, the same complaint with Tinubu and you getting a “4-party state.”

This is how they will keep playing with you until you realise that democracy is the problem, and you are never getting out of this via democracy.

It’s not about multiparty, it’s about winning. Come and win, let's see.

What you clearly don’t understand is that the people who control Nigeria, those who want Tinubu to remain in power, are also the same people responsible for the multiple oppositions you are seeing.

They will keep playing you for a fool, until the day you wake up to realise that democracy was invented to destroy you.

There's this very wealthy African businessman, true story, who accumulated his wealth through the most violent exploitative way possible. He would rip people off their land and resources in his community and make their children serve him.

Initially, he had no plans of giving his servants freedom. He was getting a lot of hits for it. So he eventually figured out a way to give them “fake” freedom just to pacify critics.

But that's where it gets interesting. Once any of the boys is “freed,” he would find a way to insert himself in their business just so he can remotely control it. His goal is to ensure they are never established so they can depend on him forever. Depending on him makes him more and more powerful for as long as that arrangement lasts.

So as one of his ex-boys, if you start doing well on your own, you will die mysteriously or something bad happens to your business. If you allow him to control your affairs, including choosing your wife and employees, who would sabotage you from within to make sure his interference caps your growth, you will be just fine.

He insists you don't manufacture your own products, and positions himself as your only supplier. He allows you to sell him your raw materials, but he’s the only one to refine and sell them to you all at his fixed prices. If you try to manufacture on your own or change suppliers, something bad happens to you.

I have a question: when these ex-boys of his fail to succeed (which is the case, unless you want to pay with your life), who do you blame? Them or the master?

Now replace the wealthy African man with the West, and his boys with African nations. That is colonialism and neocolonialism explained. I had to use a wealthy African man as an example, because Africans have been socialized to only understand a crime when it’s committed by someone who looks like them. They have been conditioned to never see anything wrong in whatever the white man does.

This is why decolonization is a MUST before Africa can progress.

From all I’ve seen researching for this series, it’s obvious that Nigeria was not designed to work. The designers of Nigeria don’t care about the humans occupying the geographical area called Nigeria. In fact, the people living here are a big inconvenience.

The leaders of Nigeria are willing puppets that continue to allow themselves to be used by foreign interests to both destabilize and loot the country of its resources.

Because of greed and lack of patriotism, these so called leaders continue to run to same powers working against the interests of Nigeria, so long as they help them get into power.

Yes, IMF, World Bank, UN e.t.c. are not innocent institutions.

I also understand that it’s a complicated world and you can’t get much done alone. Especially if the powerful countries are against you. Media is such a powerful tool and it can be weaponized against you anytime by powerful people who want different things.

Above all, I have come to realize that the person who will change Nigeria will be hated by Nigerians. He will need to be so brutal and decisive to correct the values of the society we live in. He will have to increase the number of educated people in the country before allowing such to choose their leaders.

Until then, we will keep doing this 4 years voting ceremony called Democracy without any measurable results.

You can see who is connected to who and how they are connected, and this can perhaps explain why corruption is so deeply rooted in Nigerian politics.

This is v0.1. I haven’t started going into past governors and lawmakers.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Así era el brutal colonialismo holandés en Indonesia, donde los colonos blancos implantaron un sistema de segregación racial, donde los indonesios nativos, incluido niños, eran sus esclavos sin derechos.

Occidente no se hizo rica gracias a su esfuerzo, sino debido al saqueo y al genocidio de los pueblos nativos africanos, asiáticos y sudamericanos... invadían sus paises, saqueaban sus materias primas y se llevaban la riqueza a Europa.

Pero estos criminales racistas que invadieron y saquearon medio mundo son los que hoy te hablan de que los inmigrantes están invadiendo sus países.

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

This is what I heavily emphasized yesterday in a Twitter space.

There can never be talk of any "revolutionary" movement in Nigeria until we dismantle the current educational system in the country.

There is no bypassing this important stage.
We can tweet from now until the next 100 years, we can write volumes of political essays, we can march in the streets until our boots wear out, we can occupy embassies all we want, we can even bring a J.J. Rawlings type figure into Nigeria to uproot all the elites in power.
All of these are empty and meaningless endeavors.

I have said it in the past and I will leave it in writing for those who will come after me that I have renounced the current Nigerian educational system completely.
I have been in the field and taught Mathematics long enough to recognize this rot. I have sat down with some of my lecturers and demonstrated how the Mathematics syllabus in universities in Nigeria is never going to allow the Engineering department to develop. I have shown how Nigeria can never produce high profile researchers even in the next 100 years if this syllabus is allowed to exist.

We learn Real and Complex Analysis in Nigeria without a foundational course on Analysis, no Euclidean geometry, no in depth treatment of Series, and no rigorous introduction to discrete mathematics or set theory. And then when the actual analysis is taught, students are forced to memorize a body of theorems and proofs and regurgitate them in the exam halls.
And this is just Analysis. We have not even talked about Topology for spatial data structures and advanced physics, or Combinatorial Mathematics that is the backbone of AI and Machine Learning, or Graph Theory which models modern telecommunications, or Cryptography which secures the entire global financial framework.

I can go on forever. In fact, I can even write a 500-page dissertation on how the current Mathematics educational system in Nigeria will make it impossible for Nigeria to industrialize.
The best we can hope for is to import fancy equipment from China because we have a system that was designed to raise an army of idiots with degrees. Their sole value is to perform administrative tasks for the corporations that are extracting their resources and wealth.
And this is just for Mathematics. The same line of reasoning can be extended to all departments in the country.

And this is why no matter our passion on this platform, no matter our calls for total decolonization of the African mind, it is simply insufficient.
It is insufficient because the educational system in the country has made our people impervious to rational thought. It is insufficient because our people are being educated in general by the ghosts of Lord Lugard to work for Chevron and other corporations that continue to plunder us. It is insufficient because our people are still being educated by the Salafi Wahhabi schools established and funded by Saudi Arabia on behalf of the transatlantic empire to create an army of sleeper cells in Nigeria that they can activate at any time for insurgencies. It is insufficient because in the South our people have been reduced to complete idiots by the mega churches and their prosperity gospel. They are taught to interpret poverty and underdevelopment as a sin rather than an institutional failure and foreign backed imperialism. This is why our vibrant youth population has been reduced to prayer warriors fighting against demonic arrows instead of revolutionaries fighting against the colonial institutions that are looting their future dry. It is insufficient because our media platforms are designed to entertain and distract rather than educate and mobilize. It is insufficient because our cultural institutions have been hijacked to celebrate subservience and mediocrity instead of critical thinking and rebellion.

All of these are part of the educational system that must be dismantled: the churches, the Salafi Wahhabi schools, the obsolete university curricula, and the media syndicates that keep the masses sedated.
It is only when these institutions are defeated that we can talk about a revolutionary movement. It is only then we can confront the colonial institutions.

The true African revolution will not be birthed in the pews of a mega church or the classrooms of a foreign funded school.
It will only begin when we forcefully reclaim our minds.
Let the total deconstruction of the Nigerian educational system be the first and most decisive step toward our absolute liberation.

Someone said that the poverty of a country is planned. That statement stuck with me.

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

Self help books are one of the tools of modern Imperialism.

These books reduce "wealth" and "success" into an individual struggle rather than a direct result of systemic plunder, historical exploitation, and the concentrated hoarding of global resources.

They tell you that your poverty is a character flaw.
They suggest that the reason you cannot afford a home or a dignified life is because you haven't mastered your "internal state" while conveniently ignoring the fact that the "external state" is busy auctioning off your future to the highest corporate bidder.

Rather than give examples of situations where the people came together to form cultural groups under a socialist ideology, wrote manifestoes, built underground networks of resistance, and finally uprooted their oppressive system that kept them under the boot of foreign monopolies, these satanic books instead reduce a revolutionary problem into a personal struggle.
Instead of uniting to fight for better wages these books manage to convince their victims to "smile" at bosses and "win friends" for "promotion."
Instead of uniting together and holding a siege on these colonial institutions that give the rich and mega corporations unlimited access to your lands and resources, these books have managed to convince their victims that all they need is a better "morning routine."
Instead of demanding the nationalization of your country's minerals, they tell you to "manifest" abundance.
Instead of burning down the predatory banks that have shackled your nation in debt, they tell you to practice "mindfulness" to cope with the stress of being broke.
Instead of recognizing that your exhaustion is a logical response to a parasitic economic system, they tell you that you simply lack "courage and determination".

The truth of the matter is that there is no amount of "Atomic Habits" you develop that would free you from the pangs of state sponsored Imperialism.
If you like continue to follow the 4AM rule for mental clarity, jog every morning and smile sheepishly at everyone you meet because you want to win friends and influence people, you will still be a victim of a system that sees you as nothing more than a data point.
All of these are empty and meaningless habits. The best that you can hope for is to become a well behaved and disciplined corporate slave that would eventually be laid off once they complete building their data centers and finally automate your position.
You are being trained to be a more efficient battery for a machine that intends to discard you.

We need to understand that the real world is more brutal than advertised in these books.
You cannot build any "tech empire" when you are under an imperial occupation or a debt-trap.
These billionaires they have carefully sanitized as revolutionaries who took risks, dropped out of college and started a billion dollar empire in their "garages" are all lies designed to make you think the playing field is level.
They did not start in garages; they started with emerald mine shares, government-subsidized military technology, and massive safety nets of inherited colonial wealth.

To even build a company like Google today, you need a funding pool of world conquest proportion. This is because you need to cover corporate fees to hire a battalion of corporate lawyers to circumvent labor laws and crush local competition, you need to buy off regulators and trade unions to allow you to build poisonous data centers and masts that allow you to stay profitable while the local population suffers, you need to lobby for tax exemptions that drain the public health system of its funding, and you need to pay for the private security forces that ensure your supply chains in the Global South remain uninterrupted by the "un-optimized" locals.

Instead of self-help books, read Philosophy and books focused on Political Theory, Materialist History, and the mechanics of power. Read the works of those who dismantled empires rather than those who teach you how to serve them better.
To develop your mind and equip you mentally to challenge the colonial institutions that have turned your life into a commodity is the only real "growth" that matters. Stop trying to "fix" yourself for a broken system and start learning how to break the system that is fixing you in place.

It's nasty work to take a group of people's entire culture, history, spiritual beliefs, deities and ancestral practices as your own. Enslave them, tell them their beliefs are pagan and demonic. Then, get rid of the elders who knew better, and brainwashed the children by telling them their history and origin started with slavery - Theft of the Black Gods: The Superheroes (2023)
