"Michael Jackson and the Impossibility of Erasure"
There is probably no other public figure, living or dead, whose cultural presence has proven so resistant to cancellation.
For more than four decades, predictions of Michael Jackson's downfall have repeatedly resurfaced.
Yet headlines can reshape narratives.
They cannot erase collective memory.
Those predictions can operate only at the level of public discourse.
If Michael Jackson had been merely famous, he would have been forgotten.
If he had been merely successful, he would have been replaced.
If he had been merely iconic, he would have been preserved as a museum piece.
The extraordinary global response to the biopic reveals something far more significant than commercial success.
When emotion synchronizes across the world without instruction, we are no longer looking at fame.
We are looking at a social phenomenon.
Its success is not simply the result of effective marketing.
It reflects the spontaneous, global desire to reconnect with a figure the world never truly let go of.
The idea that Michael Jackson can simply be erased is not a misunderstanding of the man.
It is a misunderstanding of scale.
Much of the media and many of his critics treated Michael Jackson according to the logic of an ordinary celebrity.
They failed to understand that you cannot erase a figure whom global culture has already inscribed irreversibly.
It simply doesn't happen.
There are 3 groups of people in Nigeria
1. Many of you who have sold your souls to these evil animals in government. That is why you can not speak even if you see blatant evil and the barbaric slaughter of little children on video.
2. Some of you who are hoping to later sell your souls in exchange for money, favours and positions with this godless inhuman barbarians in power. That is why you also cannot speak.
3. There is a little tiny population of us who are content with the little we have. We have a mouth that cannot be shut, a soul that cannot be bought and a conscience that is not for sale.
No matter what category you are:
I want you all to remember one thing:
One day we will all die, one way or another.
It will happen at the appointed time.
A good name will always be better than riches. Keep your soul untainted. Guard your conscience from compromise. Speak out against evil, even if you are alone.
Because after you are dead,
You will realise that the price you sold your soul for and the money you got for your conscience was not worth it. At all.
Good morning. Think about this. Share pls.
Absolutely horrific reports out of Benue, Nigeria. Over 100 Christians reportedly massacred in a coordinated overnight attack in Yelewata.
Eyewitnesses confirm the killers shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the assault.
The world must not turn a blind eye to this violence against Christians.
