Between 1985 and 1994, Babangida’s regime diverted about $12B of oil money. Well, he wrote a book and the launch raised nearly ₦17bn for the IBB Presidential Library Foundation. ₦8bn from Aliko Dangote and ₦5bn from Abdulsamad Rabiu. Nigerian Elites

Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
If someone robbed from you, would you become a robber as a result?!
No!!!
Why?!
Becasue you do not like stealing.
If your husband builds you a house, will you do the same back?!
Most likely no, becasue it’s not something you really desire to do. You’ve probably not been praying to God to bless you so that you can buy your husband his dream car.
Your mind isn’t operating that way because those are actions that you do not deeply desire for yourself.
There’s a reason why cheating back is an option for you and it has nothing to do with your husband, it simply because it’s what you want to do.
The average Nigerian woman would never surprise me.
They never do.
I've said for years that almost nobody in Nigeria has experienced actual love before, whether male or female. Not from their romantic partners, not from their family, not even from their parents. It's all an unhealthy soup of unprocessed emotions, theatre performance and the worst kind of unbridled capitalism.
Nigerian relationships are characterised by a lot of things. Things like Desire. Lust. Dependency. Codependency. Convenience. Need. Force.
Love is unfortunately not one of them.
