Please Everyone, I need your help.

From the accident, she has fractures in her hand, leg, and pelvic region. The doctor said the surgery will cost about ₦5 million. It is extensive and will be done in two phases.

First they will operate on her hand and leg. When she recovers from that, they will do the pelvic region.

It has been a painful experience. We have already spent so much on drugs and medications just to keep her stable this far. The pain is still there every day.

A lot of you have followed this from the day of the accident. You have seen the updates. You know what this has been like.

Please, if your heart can move you, even ₦1k, ₦2k, ₦5k, ₦10k, or ₦20k from you will help us. Every little bit carries weight right now.

Please help me share this too.
I need the support.

Thank you for reading this far.

Paul Biya lived a full life.

He enthroned himself, killed everyone who stood against him, lived in wealth and affluence.

Enjoyed the best of material things on earth. Had the best doctors abroad, ate the best good, fucked whoever he wanted.

Stole more money than his family can finish and now, he's dead from natural causes.

There's no moral to this story.

Not all dictators succeed but the ones who do get everything that comes with that.

That's the risk all dictators must take.

China does not even allow you to "remittance" back your money to your country, you must use it to buy goods that you then export and sell in your country to get back your money,

always, "open up the country", that is how foreigner are allowed to come in the country to kill and displace indigenous communities,

anyways,

There is a chunk of retail profit by Nigerian traders that stay in the country, if they Chinese knock them out, that profit automatically start going back to China,

If the Chinese do only manufacturing, and Nigerians do the retailing that part of Retail profit stays in Nigeria,

If Chinese Manufacture, in Nigeria, manufacturing profits gets sent back to China,

Manufacturing profit for Imports, stays in China regardless of who imports,

If Chinese Import / Manufacture and still retail, both profits for manufacturing and Retail goes back to China.

maybe those retail profits by Nigerian traders that stays in the country is a "chicken change" to you, but you are worse off if the Chinese take that back to China as well.

And mind you that the Chinese will not use "moniepoint" to accept payments, they will use their own affiliated payment processor,

so you will have a chain reaction where, people lose their jobs/businesses, businesses shrink in size, and government revenue reduces,

anyways, I know that your leaders are more reasonable and would try to do the right thing,

but for you guys that think it is a tribal fight? everybody eye go clear.

At home, we used to call him Evil Man, and for good reason, walk with me.

One evening, we were under strict instruction to not turn on the tv until our parents got back.
Maybe that's why the rest of this memory is fuzzy.

You know that thing they do in nollywood where they strike the camera and it feels like they attacked their opponent in the movie?

Pete Edochie did it in a movie we were watching. He caught a man with his wife and struck the camera with his walking stick and our TV burnt.

I will elaborate

Every time something arrives in Africa either free or priced way below what it costs elsewhere, ask what’s being extracted in place of money. It’s rarely charity, it’s a different currency.

Facebook’s Free Basics is the cleanest tech example. Launched as “free internet” across more than 30 African countries, it was actually a curated slice of the web with Facebook at the center.

India banned it in 2016 over net neutrality concerns. Researchers in Ghana found the app harvested browsing behavior and phone numbers while offering little locally relevant content (https://t.co/RJpPZuaxmO).

You weren’t getting internet access, you were becoming a data source for a company that sells attention to advertisers.

Healthcare has its own version, and it’s often worse because the stakes are life and death.

In 1996, Pfizer ran a trial of an unapproved antibiotic, Trovan, on children during a meningitis outbreak in Kano, Nigeria, instead of the proven treatment being used next door by Doctors Without Borders.

Eleven children died, others were left blind, paralyzed, or deaf. Pfizer denied wrongdoing but settled with Kano State for 75 million dollars in 2009 (https://t.co/Uk8PK3iaLB).

It’s a textbook case of a population treated as a testing ground because informed consent and price were both cheaper there.

More broadly, the WHO has found that a large share of the world’s reported substandard and falsified medicines end up in Africa, roughly 42 percent of reported cases, driving anti-microbial resistance and an estimated 116,000 extra malaria deaths a year in sub-Saharan Africa alone from fake or weak antimalarials (https://t.co/Wo3pb4IiJX).

The “cheap medicine” isn’t cheap, it’s just failing quietly, in bodies that have less recourse.

Same pattern with the “affordable” smartphones flooding African markets. Brands undercutting global prices by huge margins have been found shipping devices with preinstalled adware and malware baked in before the box is even opened, generating ad revenue from users who never agreed to it and can’t remove it.

Same pattern with pay-as-you-go solar kits like M-KOPA. The hardware looks affordable upfront, but it’s locked with firmware that disables the unit if you miss a payment. You don’t own the panel, you’re renting it indefinitely, and the company holds the kill switch.

Same pattern with digital lending apps like OKash, Branch, and Tala, which offer instant loans with almost no paperwork. The catch is in the permissions, contacts, SMS, sometimes location, harvested and in documented cases used to pressure or shame borrowers into repayment.

Same pattern with secondhand clothing exports. What looks like a cheap deal is often unsellable Western overstock, offloaded in volumes now overwhelming landfills and waterways in places like Ghana’s Kantamanto market.

None of this means every affordable product is a trap. It means the question is always worth asking, if the price doesn’t match the cost of making the thing, something else is covering the gap. Sometimes it’s your data, sometimes it’s your health, sometimes it’s your autonomy. Find out which one before you assume you got a good deal.

Thank you @DavidHundeyin

So we're clear, I don't tweet for people who don't read books and articles, and only absorb information through the ambient osmosis of the TikTok infinite scroll and their friends' WhatsApp statuses and group chats.

If I make a tweet with a reference and instead of going away to research and read the reference for yourself, you immediately enter my comments on some "provide evidence for this claim" pseudo-literate crap, you will immediately join your fellow olodos on my block list.

I do not suffer fools gladly.

"Nigeria is a shithole", but your supposed non-shithole country was a beneficiary of Nigeria taking all the bullets meant for it in the 70s and 80s, otherwise it might still be called "Upper Nyasaland" with cities named "Salisbury" and "Leopoldville", and you would still need written permission to leave your designated "Bantu reserve area" and travel to other parts of your country.

At least 3 Nigerian presidents have been murdered in office for protecting African interests, including one whose assassination was personally ordered by Henry Kissinger for leading an anti-apartheid vote at the AU against US instructions just 30 days before he was shot.

Name another country on the planet where 4 different presidents have been killed in office since 1966, and each of these assassinations was a foreign-driven operation. Nearly all of the limited freedom from direct colonialism that most Africans have today is a barge floating on a river of Nigerian blood - apart from DR Congo, which is nearly 3x bigger than Nigeria, no country on this continent has lost more people to foreign-backed wars and insurgencies.

Many of you have gotten way too comfortable casually disrespecting Nigeria because you are not aware of the terrible price it has paid to give you the limited freedom that you have. If Nigeria had spent all those decades acting like Kenya and collaborating with your enslavers, by now you would be in your Bantu reserve with no internet access reading smuggled magazines with photos of Lagos and Abuja, and it would look like a different world to the one around you.

Nigeria will not remain in its current debased state indefinitely. It will surely rise again and when it does, a lot of this casual disrespect towards Nigeria and Nigerians will be revisited. You will explain precisely what you mean by "Nigeria is a shithole" all the way from Mpumalanga.

Nobody is asking for any grace or help from you (which will never come anyway). You're just being notified.

This is funny and true. I learned a bitter lesson from this when I was younger. I discussed an idea with someone who was a governor's brother, and I even brought my SA partners to tell him more about it. He and his brother went and bought our competition in South Africa.

By Making Excuses for Unverified Certificates, We Are Planting Poison in the Soul of Our Society

A nation that tolerates unverified academic credentials at any level of leadership, regardless of who is involved, risks destroying the very standards upon which a society is built. The issue is not about an individual. It is about standards, accountability, and the values we choose to pass on to the next generation.

We cannot continue to excuse blurred, missing, questionable, or unverified credentials simply because they belong to someone we support. The process through which people attain positions of responsibility matters greatly. How we get into leadership is as important as what we do with leadership.

If we normalise the abandonment of basic verification today, tomorrow we may have professors who never attended a university, doctors who never studied medicine, and judges who never studied law.

That is the dangerous precedent we must never allow. Nigeria cannot sacrifice its future on the altar of today's transactional politics. We must build a society where truth is not partisan, standards are not negotiable, and accountability applies equally to everyone.

History will judge us not only by those we defended, but by the principles we were willing to defend. We must choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiments, and the future over political expediency.

A New Nigeria is possible, but only if we are willing to do the right thing, even when it is inconvenient. -PO

God is my witness I used to talk about this ALL the time. At a point I realized people will make emotional decisions about money and there is nothing you can do about it.

There's a popular influencer I begged not to buy a N400M house in Lekki and to invest it. They bought the house and a N150m car too. Few years later, they then lived through what I had told them to avoid.

Yes you need a place to live but if you're earning $40,000 after tax annually on $450K you can pay rent and have change while capital keeps growing.

If you do it in naira tbills you can earn 100m+ annually and your investment pays your rent on a very solid place. You can even accumulate the interest and still buy a house after some years, while still keeping your principal.

Capital is hard to build. When you're young it's critical not to waste it. Invest, and Leverage time and compounding in your favor.

Then let your assets pay for your lifestyle. Not your principal.
