Colonialism is not an excuse but I think who colonize you makes a big difference. This determines how easy it is to direct entrepreneurs away from their comfort zone to export. It’s the political economy of plantations that made crony capitalism possible.

From 1946 to 1975, Vietnam was in 29 years of continuous wars;

8 years fighting France, 20 years of civil war, and 8 years fighting the US.

Today, unlike Nigerians who still blame colonialism, Vietnam has 100% electricity and far higher HDI and GDP than Nigeria.

I’m not a historian in any way, so I don’t know the answer, but how come India was colonized, exploited and enslaved similar to Africa, but they didn’t adopt Christianity en masse?
I really want to know the difference in how they were colonized

Nigerianisms.

Heard about two tragic events relating to how Nigerian migrants overwork themselves that one didn’t trend.

[Sir Chief Honorable Odionwere Lawrence @EkunweL]

They are all simply attending a Christian gathering, and there is nothing wrong with that. People attend Christian and non Christian gatherings all the time. Also, the event was opened to anyone, so there are likely other Africans and non Africans here too.

Why do people always blame corporate for this when it’s obviously just a local manager with too much AI psychosis

[Sami Gold @souljagoyteller]

Finding the remaining boomer Republicans who still view racism as abstractly abhorrent is like finding those Japanese soldiers who never surrendered after WWII. Can’t find them anything but cute

People hate what they don’t understand.

[Ayobami @dondekojo]

Even for economic reasons, I’d never move to a place I don’t like the people only to complain everyday or live with hate. Guess that’s why I just sit down in Ibadan.

[Max @egh_max]

People are trying to deflect with Arewa instead. I don’t get the denialism.

[Nuesdaily @NuesDaily]

Man no region was more thoroughly changed by colonization like the SS. Their names, their “Traditional attires”, everything. I wonder what the Brits did differently over there.

[Champagne DT @ChampagneDT]

A segment of Nigeria's atheist community appears to believe that disparaging religion confers upon them an aura of intellectual superiority.

[Ed Fidgeon-Kavanagh @Clearpreso]

I honestly cannot believe that there are people that choose aisle seat over window seat. Completely unacceptable lack of wonder.

[Max @egh_max]

Total opposite fallacies like these have flattened any ounce of nuance to arguments or foresight to see unintended consequences.

[Sir Chief Honorable Odionwere Lawrence @EkunweL]

Last year when Elewa was making racist tweets about black people being inferior, I confronted him, and he said I should leave the UK. Some of you who are now pretending to care about racism retweeted that his tweet that day all because I stood up against racist talking points.

[Chukwuedozie Nwa Charlie @TheCharlesIsidi]

And when you point these things out, someone insults you, someone says you are anti progress.

Wike has built a number of VERY ELABORATE and non functional bus stops across Abuja, and it makes me burn because the average transport fare is about N500, maybe less.

We do not understand the concept of an MVP, all that a bus stop needs is a kiosk with POS to get payments, and a shade at best for people to wait for the bus.

And the crazy thing is: the people being served will be fooled to believe this is generosity and kindness on the part of the government, but we know why this project is outsized, and how the revenues from the operations will never break even on the cost of putting these terminals together.

Let development match the conditions of living of the people it is mean't to serve. If we say we are a poor country, we can't keep borrowing money for elaborate nonsense. But of course, the Nigerian thinks the glamour is the value, but these leaders wouldn't build something this elaborate if it was for their personal businesses, they will strip it to the very details and serve their customers.

God is Good motors with one of the most advanced road transport operations in this country isn't investing this much into terminals.

You are barely breaking even on the costs of maintaining the buses, talk more of whole terminals nearing the cost of building an airport lounge.

These projects shock the sensibilities of anyone who isn't remotely stupid, because we know who is really benefitting. If we truly believe our politicians are unintelligent, then we are right where they truly want us to be.

Never seen a “western civilisation” politician in Britain do anything like this when they’ve had power, or propose it when they don’t have power

[Tonami Playman @TonamiPlayman]

As much as I'm an advocate of functionality over the grandiose, I have to disagree with him on this one.

Nigeria can have both good looking and functional bus terminals. This should be the bare minimum.

I'll take a bus terminal people will actually use over a useless airport.

Until other people start running away when they laugh it’s always going to be a black person.

meta point: Everyone uses "sassy black gifs" for their reaction posts because Black Americans are obviously far more expressive in their face and body language than... anyone else on earth? I think? Why is this

[Max @egh_max]

Fool us a fourth time shame on us.

[Favour Ayorinde @viyancefavour]

Nigeria has had 4 major economic downturns.

All 4 were triggered by an oil crash.

The first 2 were mismanaged by military leaders,

The second 2 were mismanaged by a former military leader.

Impressive record.

We need new school designs. This "shopping complex" design needs to be retired asap. It's ugly.
