Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug.

You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form.

You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages.

You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution.

You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis.

You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from.

Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.

Wizkid didn't lie when he said Nigeria is a place where poverty is weaponized.

But there’s a little adjustment.

Weaponized ignorance is far more of a problem.

This is why I'm very much concerned about the victims of both ignorance and poverty in Nigeria. And, consistent with my pinned post, educate them (proper education), then save them from poverty before anything else works in the country.

This can only happen if the sensible and powerful ones agree to a revolution that seizes sovereignty and cuts them off from the sources of their ignorance and poverty.

Most of the sensible and powerful ones are greedy and self-centred, and have built their entire lives on exploiting the very class who need this help.

This is why sometimes I feel like there's no hope. Please tell me how ‘democracy’ is expected to ‘work’ in this setting?

It is well. Actually, not well.

What do you think about this 50 year roadmap for the South East?

Aba - Manufacturing.
Make it the factory of Africa.

Onitsha - Trade & Logistics.
Build Africa’s most efficient commercial and distribution hub.

Nnewi - Engineering & Industrial Production.
From spare parts to machines, automobiles and advanced manufacturing.

Awka - Technology & Skilled Talent.
Build the engineers, technicians, software developers and craftsmen our industries need.

Enugu - Education, Research & Innovation.
Turn it into a university city where knowledge becomes companies, patents and industries.

Ebonyi - Agriculture, Food Processing & Solid Minerals.
Stop exporting raw produce and minerals. Process everything here.

Owerri - Technology, Creative Economy & Hospitality.
Build a city that attracts young talent, startups, entertainment and tourism.

Umuahia - Agriculture, Biotechnology & Agro-industry.
Research what we grow. Improve it. Process it. Export it.

Then connect ALL of them with rail, reliable power, broadband, highways and a single regional market.

This is how history gets incrementally rewritten because nobody pushes back on narratives like this.

In reality, no generation in Nigeria ever actually "listened" to Fela. At NO point was he ever embraced by Nigeria's western-educated classes. He was always an outsider and a rebel that they treated with suspicion or outright hostility. Even the wealthy or educated who liked him had to literally hide to do so. His music was (and to the best of my knowledge still is!) banned from radio nationwide, and it eventually got to the point where he made less money in Nigeria - his primary audience - than outside it.

I grew up on a street where a few houses away was Air Vice Marshall Funsho Martins, across the street was Governor Ita Ikpeme, around the corner was Fidelity Bank MD Reginald Ihejiahi, and so on. These were the people I would often overhear having conversations with my dad, and to them, Fela was an "amugbo boy" (weed smoking loser) and community penis who used the guise of African pride to cover for his lack of personal discipline. They had no respect for what he stood for, and I personally was not allowed to listen to Fela's music while I lived under my parents' roof.

Fela was never loved by the people who were politically aware or active in Nigeria. The only people who wholeheartedly embraced Fela were the poorest and most powerless. And even at that, they lacked the education to fully understand his message beyond simple complaint and criticism of the Nigerian government. All his words about colonialism and imperialism flew completely over their heads. It was like explaining the International Space Station to someone who has never seen an internal combustion engine before.

I hate the narrative that Nigeria ever truly embraced Fela or his message because that is a laundering device for Nigerians to avoid asking themselves what on earth was so important about that message that a military government invaded his house, raped his wives and killed his mom, while the global "human rights" yappers provided cover for that government and never sanctioned them for it.

Saying that there was a generation that "listened to Fela" is an easy and disingenuous way of dismissing Fela's work and refusing to examine what made it so important that we're still talking about him nearly 3 decades after he died.

An untrained or poorly trained policeman would approach crime-solving strictly by profiling, and would most likely end up arresting the wrong target.

In the same way, a poorly trained mind will approach its problems with the wrong diagnosis, and most likely end up seeking solutions in the wrong places.

Dear Africans, train your minds, learn, unlearn, relearn, and rid your minds of Western propaganda, so you can effectively pursue solutions to your challenges.

In 100 years, when the story of how Nigeria was destroyed in the 21st century is told, there will be barely a mention of how the United States created a terror group that ended up operating in Nigeria, used the presence of that group as a pretext to invade, with the help of a president who was once part of a criminal gang in the US, and proceeded to appropriate the country’s mineral development, minerals that power the future of the global economy. All that will be recorded is that Nigerian leaders were corrupt individuals who could not govern and looted everything in sight.

This is exactly how the stories of the 18th and 19th centuries are told today, riddled with accounts of how African chiefs sold their own subjects into slavery, with no mention of how the slave trade became an industry in the first place, who built the trading infrastructure, who sponsored conflicts so that people could be captured and sold, and what happened to those who refused to participate in this forced commercial arrangement.

This is why it is important that we keep exposing the Western extractive structure and documenting it. A one-sided story must not be told in the future.

Sometime last month, I was sitting in my veranda.

Then my daughter came to me that she wanted to show me her assignment.

I asked her to sit on my lap and she refused.

Me: come, sit here.

Her: No daddy, let me get another chair.

I insisted, and she obliged.

When we were done, I kissed her forehead and asked her to go. As she walked away, I called her back.

Me: I asked you to sit on my lap but you refused, why?

Her: Daddy, because it's not proper for a girl to sit on a man's lap.

Me: But I am not just any man, I am your father.

Me: I agree with you, and you should not sit on any man's lap. But you should trust your father to always protect you, and he won't harm you.

Her: Okay, daddy.

I knew my wife had been giving her all those orientations, and I was very pleased with what my daughter did.

Giving me the confidence that she's becoming more self-aware at almost 13.

Another day, I was about to drive out, and I asked her to go open the gate for me.

She was putting on shorts that were revealing her thighs.

She quietly went into her room, put on a long gown and came outside to open the gate.

I observed what she did and smiled quietly but didn't say anything.

I want to let some of you married men to know that some of these things are what your wives teach your daughters when you're not there.

And you're not so self-conscious as to even recognize the efforts of your wife.

You overlook these things and still do not appreciate your wife because she's not bringing in any money, and you think that makes her a liability or that she is not contributing much to your life.

You'll know your wife's level of moral assertiveness and discernment from the way your children behave in certain situations they find themselves in.

Especially in the public.

And especially your daughters.

Everything is not about money.

When you ask a woman what she is bringing to the table, this is part of it.

Your child will not just automatically learn morals or behavioral etiquette just like that, without a self-conscious mother.

The school, movies, church or even books may not be as effective as their mother's guidance.

And when you notice these things, do not just trivialize them or act as if they're normal or expected.

Learn to draw your wife's attention to what you observed, and thank her for her efforts.

That's why you're her husband.

End.

[Àgbà John Doe @jon_d_doe]

Dear wives,

If you catch your husband cheating on you, you have the right to be angry.

But you don't have the right to cheat back.

This is what you may wish to do:

Before you confront him, make sure that you have prepared his meal.

Then you serve him.

Wait until he finishes the food.

Then you go sit close to him, rubbing his head and chest, gently.

Look straight into his eyes with a wicked smile.

"My darling husband, I see that you enjoyed the food. But I must tell you this: I was not happy with you when I was preparing the food, because you're cheating on me. Don't try to deny it because I have proof (don't tell him what proof you have). Please don't do it again. "

Kiss his forehead, pack the plates and go to bed or get busy with other things.

Your husband will be praying that you did not poison the food.

Do not confront him, and do not discuss it again, with him.

His conscience will continue to preeq him until he finds a way to apologise.

But do not expect him to say:

"My lovely wife, I am sorry that I cheated on you. I won't do it again."

As a wife, you should be able to recognize when your husband is apologizing without necessarily saying it verbatim.

I didn't write this post for you immature minds.

Or you holier than thous.

If the post no clear for your head, walka and pass.

That doesn't mean that you should not disagree.

Just disagree with sense and decorum.

End.

Treasure Okegbola developed a machine learning model that detects malaria from blood samples.

We ran a live test today, and it was amazing.

She will be training it on other diseases so that people can run quality and free tests in their homes. It can then detect even diseases people may not be aware of.

She says this will be her way of supporting poor families who can’t afford quality healthcare or are afraid to do tests because of cost.

I have always known that Treasure will make a great impact in the world.

What a start!

65 FREE SURGERIES FOR 65 CHILDREN

Yesterday, I attended the final follow-up clinic and appreciation programme at Mother Mary Hospital, Isolo, Lagos, following the successful completion of 65 free surgeries for children to mark my 65th birthday.

I am deeply grateful to God Almighty for guiding the medical team throughout the process and for granting all 65 children safe and successful surgeries.

The surgeries, led by Dr Folaseye Adebayo and her dedicated team, included adenotonsillectomy. This procedure removes enlarged or chronically infected tonsils and adenoids, which can cause breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, and sleep-related problems in children.

What made the occasion particularly touching was listening to parents share their testimonies and hearing how these procedures have improved their children’s health and quality of life.

My profound appreciation goes to @DrFolaseye Adebayo and her entire team, the hospital management, the parents, and everyone who contributed to making this initiative possible.

For me, birthdays are not merely occasions for celebration. They are opportunities to give back, touch lives, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

I thank God for the privilege of being part of this initiative and, most importantly, for the gift of 65 healthy and hopeful children.

May God continue to bless all those who dedicate their lives to saving and improving the lives of others.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

When a married man brags about his wealth, it's mostly because he knows his wife worships him for his money.

When a married man brags about his children, it's mostly because he knows that he's married to a woman who doesn't worship his money.

How good your children turn out, will mostly depend on the woman that you married.

If your wife worships your money, she'll please you more than pleasing the children, and would always cover up for their wrong doings, so you don't start blaming her for it despite how much you spend or invest.

If she doesn't worship your money, she'll always want you to instill discipline and ensure that the children follow your lead, even if it comes at a great discomfort to her.

When the revolution happens across Africa, receiving funding from a muzungu NGO or government will be treated as high treason punishable by firing squad.

For Africa to grow, a lot of Africans who live off foreign dependency simply have to die. It's either they die or they kill millions of people with their destructive, externally sponsored poison.

"Corrupt African Leaders" And Trump's New Policy Of Encouragement

When government corruption and illicit financial flows are discussed in Africa, attention is always disproportionately focused on the well-known local faces and culprits, often with the explicit or implicit inferrence that these are problems originating from Africa, as against the western jurisdictions that often benefit from them.

A recent policy decision from the US Treasury Department should dispel this myth once and for all. @Big_Mck outlines what this policy is and what it means.
