The poverty and lack of gainful employment in Nigeria has destroyed irrevocably, an entire generation of youths.
This is more evident than others in the kinds of things that give us comedic relief on social media, the quality of our discussion and the kinds of characters we elevate on social media.
Low thinking, depraved, deranged, unintelligent, retarded, retrogressive , tribalistic , bigoted and cocksucking people are now at the helm of affairs in the realm of twitter influence.
Take a look at this fool thinking that a distasteful joke referencing having sex with his girlfriend’s mother is something funny and this tweet has a lot of views. To show the reflection of the minds of Nigerian youths today.
Nigerian youths are just blind and ignorant followers , so blind that can’t think for themselves , they can’t counter argue, they can’t prove a point, because they themselves are so ravaged by poverty that they don’t want to offend the big influencer. The exact money worshipping behaviour of our parent’s generation has been transferred to ours.
What this implies in summary is that E no go better for Nigeria any time soon.
Societies are built by a sense of unity of purpose, a sense of principle, trust surplus, morality , patriotism, honour , pride and glory. A strive for excellence, a renewal of mind and refusal to fail, a paradigm shift, a renaissance, all of which is lacking in Nigeria’s youth today.
I feel so pained and so sad everyday I wake up and see how a civilised world should be and I remember my own country , it makes me so sad, I begin to hate and curse Nigeria and curse Nigerians too.
It’ll never get better, at least not in our generation. It’s a country built up to self destruct and the numbers show that since 1999, we have been running towards our own demise as a nation.
My advise for all promising Nigerians is to flee as quickly as possible before the implosion swallows you with it.
Shame!
@YarKafanchan please I need you to help retweet this for visibility.
"The presence of brown, runny human excreta with flies buzzing around it on the plate served to me by a restaurant raises serious questions about its presentation, hygiene and best practices. My jollof rice is at stake here!"
Una still dey speak plenty grammar with people that are not speaking English with you.
E say na "our democracy is at stake." Which yeye democracy do we have? Is our president democratically elected? Which election did he win?
Whenever una tire for all this performance artistry sha.
@ugbede_ugbede Mama. All this mom talk is so stale.
Everybody reading my comments knows I’m right.
If you dance on Twitter where the focal point is to turn around and shake your buttocks for strangers online, you are no different from a cheap whore at Allen avenue advertising her body.
The thing about imperialism is that it is ubiquitous and impossible to avoid.
Nigerians who think they can have intelligent discussions around politics, economics and business without acknowledging imperialism are just like a castrated man who wants to marry a wife and have kids, but doesn't want to acknowledge his condition.
I'm sorry, but just because you're in denial, or the subject makes you uncomfortable, or you don't want to upset your white friends and investors by talking about it does not mean that this 800-foot elephant in the room is going to disappear.
The imperial system you live under is why you eat imported rice and your bread is made with imported wheat, while your own agricultural land is used for industrial monoculture plantations growing export crops you can't eat like cocoa and cashew.
Imperialism is why your kid goes to school wearing a neck tie, a wool sweater, a thick blazer and cotton socks while the temperature outside is 33⁰C.
Imperialism is why you put on your TV news and the presenter is chewing her tongue desperately trying and failing to mimic the accent of a public school headteacher from Abingdon-on-Thames, whereas literally nobody in the history of her watching audience has ever sounded like that.
Imperialism is why your central bank interest rate is always double digit, which means that consumer credit is literally nonexistent. No amount of roundtable sessions, seminars, and breakfast meetings with the bankers committee and PhD economists can change that basic eternal reality of your economy.
Imperialism is why despite having double digit central bank lending rates, your currency somehow manages to always face inflationary pressure and regularly posts double digit percentage losses in a single day. You can do all the clever economic chart drawings and financial engineering you want, but they are completely useless in the face of imperialist decisions like Structural Adjustment Programs, which you experienced by other names from 1986 to 1988 and from 2023 to 2025.
Imperialism is why you can have all your lovely ideas for leadership and governance, and a young population that is hungry for good leadership, but everytime you go into a "democratic election", you end up coming out with Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu. You can read all your "Why Nations Fail" and do all your "PVC sensitisation drives" and do all the "protect the votes" on election day, and at the end of all the wahala, the INEC chairman will announce that a crippled goat with craw-craw has won the election and if you don't like it you will go and meet Kekere-Ekun in court.
Imperialism is why when you are having sex with your partner, you moan in English and make American noises even though you've never left Owerri before, and your sexual encounters always happen with a specific sequence that starts from oral and culminates in doggy - it's because all the porn you have ever watched in your life has been hosted and curated by American platforms, and you have over time taken on their sexual personality as your own.
Imperialism is why you build with cement blocks plastered with concrete in your 34⁰C climate, even though concrete generates vast amounts of heat as it cures, and it can take years to fully cure, during which time it slowly cooks you in your own house - but rammed earth which your ancestors used is only just becoming a thing once again because white people have "discovered" it and put a brand on it that makes it desirable after they once labelled it as 'primitive'.
I could go on and on. As long as you're determined to avoid confronting the ubiquitous and all-pervasive reality of imperialism in Nigeria, you're not really ready to confront whatever problem you are facing, from food to healthcare to education to public policy to poverty.
If you're not acknowledging that underlying reality, you're just another Nigerian wasting their whole life performing the appearance of thinking, and creating useless content.
@patrickbetdavid Is communism the new thing the imperialist is pushing? This is old news and today, people are more awake than ever.
Brazil won this time and soon it’ll be Nigeria.
The colonizers have become so weak now that they can't even complete a regime change operation in their own backyard.
Congratulations to Lula, BRICS, the Brazilian people and the entire global south.
Zelensky's repeated outbursts against Trump would appear suicidal and counterproductive until you recognise the reality that neither Trump nor Zelensky make any of the real decisions.

Every election season, Nigerian politicians promise to fight corruption, remove bad leaders and bring change. Some even call themselves progressive. Yet after the elections, they implement the same policies as those they replaced, and sometimes even join the parties they previously condemned.
This has led some Nigerians to argue that there is no left or right in Nigerian politics, only “what works”. Others ignorantly dismiss left-wing politics as a Western concept that has no place in Nigeria. But this ignores both what left-wing politics means and Nigeria's own history of political struggle.
