There is something so silly about success. Not because it is difficult to achieve, but because when it finally arrives, it looks so ordinary. No one announces that you’ve crossed the finish line.
One day, you simply wake up living the life you once begged God for.
Nigerians treat matters of state like Arsenal vs Chelsea.
Someone raises alarm that Tinubu's plan to fully privatize the NNPC will end subsidies, and put a hard cap on public spending on critical infrastructure.
Because if this happens, the shareholders will be a mix of the Nigerian Bourgeoisie and foreign investors with zero loyalty to the welfare of the Nigerian peiple.
The NNPC will be purely for profit, and not as a crucial institutional lever for national development.
Kiss energy subsidies goodbye.
Kiss a good chunk of public infrastructure projects goodbye.
By the time the government eventually sells off it's controlling stake when it needs a cash injection, and the NNPC is fully owned by corporate interests, una go understand.
But then again maybe not. I love my people, but many of us are retarded.
And then some idiot whose last two remaining brain cells aren't on speaking terms will come and say, "Obi will never be president"
The asininity is infuriating.
We are talking about an existential national issue and a fool that Amadioha will help me to punish thinks I'm discussing partisan policitis.
The lack of intelligence is nauseating.
This is tantamount to treason.
This madman wants to privatize the NNPC!
He wants to sell off the number one institution that basically controls the Nigerian economy to private institutions!
This is the equivalent of Saudi Arabia selling off Aramco to Blackrock or the UK selling off the NHS!
This is basically the coup de grace of SAPs
Fuck me!
I spoke about this insidious undermining of the basic concept of Nigerian and African nationhood by US-linked entities like the so-called "Pearlville School" on @RT_com yesterday.
turns out, reading a lot, exercising, loving people without expecting anything back, protecting your alone time, focusing only on improving yourself, and sometimes staying out late with friends who make you laugh until it hurts is a pretty good way to live.
The REALEST people are highly selective. They have no desire to be connected to people who operate from jealousy, negativity, wickedness, entitlement, and a lack of integrity. If you pay attention, they are the most isolated, move quietly, and mind their own business.
Intelligent people are OBSERVANT. They can literally see right through people, their low self-esteem, nasty behavior, competitiveness, and pessimism. That’s why they master loneliness, live quietly, and move in silence.
i think the love you receive from someone who knows how to be alone is the most sincere. a solitary soul loves u by choice and not out of need for company
The white man comes to legally work in your land, you call them expatriates.
You go to legally work in their land, they call you immigrants.
Taking note.
A few years ago, “Iron Man,” a song by Afrobeats star Rema, surprisingly made it to Obama’s summer playlist. It wowed everyone, especially Nigerians audience who had a hard time working out how Obama knew about this upcoming artist from their country.
Well, Obama didn't know him, nor had he ever listened to him, let alone know a song that wasn't even his popular song at the time. It was Universal Music that contacted Obama’s handlers and made that happen. It was a gig.
Many Africans have no idea that these high-profile US politicians, including presidents and ex-presidents monetize their influence too. Now you know. Nothing is organic.
The Iranians aren’t protecting their nation with religious ideologies. What you’re witnessing is full physics, chemistry, and mathematics at work. Burkina Faso must follow this example and Gumi needs to shut the ell up.
