They asked for his papers and he showed them. They reached for a whip regardless. He is just a small shop owner trying to earn an honest living..a man feeding his family by feeding a community beaten and forced to close. Tell me what law is being upheld here? What order is being restored? This isn’t immigration enforcement... This is cruelty wearing the mask of patriotism.

And history will always remember who held the whip....

South-Africans are disgraced to the unity of Africa.

Stop destroying our past:📜
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reflects on early Igbo history using materials from Yale archives, challenging long-held misconceptions about pre-colonial Igbo society and highlighting its depth and complexity.

Speaking at the International Igbo Conference, she urges the protection and documentation of Igbo heritage from within.

She emphasized that cultural identity is stronger than political identity, urging unity among Igbo-speaking people and the importance of reclaiming and documenting our own history.

What Tinubu is implementing today has been tried before. IBB tried the implementation of SAP. And after 4 years, it failed woefully. Bola Tinubu is implementing SAP 2.0 & it will end in tears. SAP is a program of the IMF. Listen to this & retweet for others. Know your history.

In 1975, Muammar Gaddafi published The Green Book, a slim volume that became the ideological foundation of Libya's political system.

It was presented as an alternative to both Western capitalism and Soviet communism.

It was a "Third Universal Theory"

Gaddafi argued that representative democracy was a fraud. According to The Green Book, parliaments, political parties, and elections merely transferred power from the people to elites. He famously claimed: "Representation is fraud." In his view, citizens should govern directly.

His proposed solution was a system of Basic People's Congresses and People's Committees, where ordinary citizens would supposedly make decisions without intermediaries.

Libya officially called itself the Jamahiriya, which translates to "the state of the masses."

The book fiercely attacks political parties, describing them as instruments of dictatorship because they allow a minority to rule in the name of the majority. Gaddafi believed parties inevitably divide society and create permanent political classes.

On economics, Gaddafi rejected both wage labor and private monopolies. He argued that workers should collectively own and manage the enterprises in which they work.

The Green Book also rejected landlordism. Gaddafi insisted that "the house belongs to the one who lives in it," arguing that owning property merely to rent it out allowed one person to exploit another's need for shelter.

On agriculture, he declared: "Land belongs to no one." Individuals had the right to use land and benefit from it, but not to monopolize or speculate on it. The book envisioned a society where productive resources were held and used collectively.

Beyond politics and economics, The Green Book ventured into social theory. It discussed family, education, women, sports, and culture.

Gaddafi defended traditional family structures while also arguing that women should participate fully in public life, though often within roles he saw as "natural."

Education, according to Gaddafi, should not be imposed from above. He criticized standardized schooling and argued that forcing a curriculum on students was a form of dictatorship. He also opposed the commercialization of knowledge and culture.

The text was translated into dozens of languages and distributed widely across Libya, Africa, and the Global South.

Dear Nigerians,

Leave everything & watch the 1993 presidential debate between Abiola & Alhaji Bashir Tofa.

MKO was fiercely against the IMF & the World Bank. He was against Naira Devaluation & IMF loans. He kicked against wasteful spending.

He stood for FREE education, not student loan.

In fact, Chief MKO won the 1993 presidential election after defeating Tofa in that debate. Nigerians saw his exceptionalism that day & voted overwhelmingly for Kashimawo. It was a Muslim-Muslim ticket that offered REAL hope.

Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola was firmly against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) & the World Bank. He viewed these Bretton Woods institutions & their structural adjustment programs (SAP) as exploitative & designed to ensnare developing nations into debt traps & neo-colonial reliance.

In fact, he criticized the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP), a program of the IMF harshly. MKO was a Capitalist with Socialist ideals.

Key aspects of his economic vision were:

Farewell to Poverty: His manifesto proposed an economic framework that rejected the World Bank & IMF loans & structural adjustments.

Alternative Funding: Instead of devaluing the currency or taking conditional loans, Chief MKO planned to fund a nationwide free health & free education by cutting government waste & securing more profits from oil companies.

National Sovereignty: MKO was against neo-colonialism. As an international businessman, he argued that Nigeria had no business letting young IMF officials dictate its internal policies.

Today, JUNE 12 People are implementing SAP 2.0. They are running away from debates. They have gone against everything MKO stood for.

His HOPE '93 "Farewell to Poverty" was largely a ‘people-centric’ manifesto, anchored on democracy, social justice, agric revolution, poverty eradication, & anti-imperialism.

He promised to write off 10 years of taxes for private businesses that went into farming. He was ready to mechanize the whole value chain.

1993 was the fairest & freest election in Nigeria. The irony is, it was the military that conducted that election, before it was ultimately annulled.

Today, June 12 People cannot conduct a free election. The beneficiaries of JUNE 12 declare Oro on Election Day, & snatch ballot boxes.

They mutilate result sheets, compromise the IREV, & tell you to go to court. They plant their surrogates in opposition parties & call it a Master Strategy. June 12 People are no democrats, they are worse than Abacha.

They work against everything that MKO stood for. Under JUNE 12 People, Nigerians have no human rights. They use the police & the DSS to kidnap the critics of their government. They borrowed Nigeria to stupor. They plan to more, & they will squander it. And when the IMF or World Bank says “jump!” They ask, “how high?”

Recall that Muhammadu Buhari participated in the 2011 presidential debate, where he debated Nuhu Ribadu & Ibrahim Shekarau. However, he did not attend the 2007, 2015, & 2019 debates.

JUNE 12 People have never participated in any presidential debates. They will run away from the 2027 debates. They hate accountability.

MKO always quoted statistics like the man they attack in Nigeria today. The candidate they call “Obi China.” MKO articulated his thoughts. He was no bulaba. He stood for the poor. JUNE 12 People are there for themselves & the rich only.

They are asking you to renew their mandate—so they could do the things they promised you before. They will remain a fraud in my book.
