Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

A windfall is not automatically wealth. It only becomes wealth when it starts protecting you, paying you, and improving your ability to earn.
If you somehow find yourself with ₦20M, ₦100M, ₦1.4B or any amount of money you've never received as a lump sum before, your job is simple:
Make sure no one in your bloodline ever has to ask this question again.
Do not just spend it. Convert it into a system.
Here's how to think about it🧵
80 years ago no African or Arab man wanted to travel to Europe or America.
It was a Chinese thing until the Western world started bombing and destabilising the Arab and African world in the pretext of fighting Terrorism and Islam.
You manufactured endless propaganda to label these people as terrible people and provided yourself an excuse to kill them just to steal their resources.
Gold, oil, diamonds, rare earth minerals, name them.
You create terrorist organisations, train them, fund them, use them to distbilize regions with huge mineral deposits and weaponize terroism for illegal mining and extracts.
Today the United States is the largest exporter of oil.
As we speak, the Unites States is actively extracting rare eath minerals in Northern Nigeria using their terrorist group Boko Haram and Iswap.
These same people will go on TV and complain of illegal immigrants and how they are a threat to the US and Europe.
The question is, after bombing people from their homes and making them homeless,
Where did you expect they will go?
Definitely the countries where the process of their natural resources is used to develop.
Want to control immigration?
Control the bombs, control the engineered terrorism. And let societies grow and develop naturally at their own pace without interference.

Enough heads have spun over this and enough think pieces written so let me share and educate once again.
I shared Echo and Legion and Coinlist over a year ago on here and our free, educative crypto channel https://t.co/1mtFICKX7h
Most people are reactive, not proactive, they lack patience, barely have foresight and are simply reactionary.
So let me break down how this whole thing actually works and where you can participate. (NFA)
What is an ICO?
A crypto project needs money to build. They sell tokens early at a low price. Early investors get in cheap. If the project succeeds, those tokens explode in value.
The problem? For years only VCs and insiders had access. By the time regular people found out, insiders were already cashing out at your expense.
These platforms exist to fix that and give regular people access 👇🏼
Some of such Platforms:
1) @echodotxyz
Think AngelList for crypto. A credible lead investor finds a deal, opens a pool and you co-invest alongside them at the exact same early price. You’re essentially getting VC-level access with retail-sized capital. Requires KYC via email, wallet and X account.
2) @legiondotcc
No lead investor needed here. Your own reputation earns your allocation. The platform scores your wallet history, on-chain activity and crypto credibility. Better score, better access. Legion also collaborates with Kraken Launch to offer credit-based access. 
3) @CoinList
The OG. CoinList has a strong track record including early raises for Solana, Filecoin and Ondo, with 21 sales in 2025.  No platform token required to participate but expect KYC, regional restrictions and competitive sale formats.
4) @Polkastarter
A long-running launchpad founded in 2020 with over 140 funded projects.  Access is tiered based on how much POLS token you hold. More POLS, better allocation priority. Multi-chain support.
5) @Buidlpad
Emphasizes KYC-driven community participation.  One thing to know, these raises are heavily oversubscribed. Someone committed $5,000 to one raise and only received $270 allocation, with the rest refunded. Manage expectations accordingly.
Now the honest part.
I have personally invested over $20k across these platforms and lost most. Most ICOs don’t make it. Teams disappear or dump at launch. You can lose everything. (I MEAN IT)
Before you move:
•Research who is leading the investment
•Check how long team tokens are locked
•Verify the fully diluted valuation makes sense
•Look for real product usage before the token even exists
•Never rely on one source of information
I’ve been sharing solid calls since 2019. BTC at $3K. BNB under $20 to $1,000. ETH below $100, $TSLA under $25 and so much more. All shared here and all changed thousands of lives.
None of that was luck. It was patience and conviction most people don’t have. I’ve also had my fair share of losses, the market can be brutal and unforgiving especially when you think yourself invincible.
Crypto is not a get rich quick. It never was.
Do your research. Invest wisely. Very important!

Keep demanding the release of these children. Don’t be tired
Put their faces everywhere. Make it impossible for those in power to keep ignoring the nightmare these children are living through.
46 children being flogged every single day.
No one deserves to grow up like this.
@SenRemiTinubu@statehouse_Fl Help us let the whole world know that right now, 46 children -including 2year olds and 3 year olds- are currently in the captivity of terrorists and the First Lady of Nigeria has said NOTHING about these helpless vulnerable children on Children’s Day today.
Pls help share this.
