“You cannot spend hours telling people what you have done for them when they can see no evidence of it in their daily lives. Unfortunately, this is how many African leaders operate.”
― Professor PLO Lumumba
Can you imagine the tribalism and chaos that would consume these European nations (overlaid with the map of Nigeria) if they were to be "forcefully amalgamated" into one country?
The true size of Nigeria's problems.
“A functioning, robust democracy requires a healthy educated, participatory followership, and an educated, morally grounded leadership.”
― Chinua Achebe

Take every instance of "Somalia" mentioned by this young man in the video and replace it with "Nigeria".
The Arab imperialist playbook will become very clear to you.

King Leopold II is not demonized like Hitler because his victims were Black Africans — and Black lives have never mattered to the people who built their wealth on our suffering.
He killed over 20 million innocent Congolese, and oversaw a regime that amputated the hands of countless Africans.
Leopold was even buried in a Catholic church.
Even worse, Europe still honors this colonial monster with monuments, while his African victims are forgotten.
Imagine an African leader doing this to 20 million Europeans.
Would the world ever let them forget ?
Western hypocrisy is absolutely disgusting.
Burkina Faso is opening its own wine industry, and the grapes would be produced from Burkina Faso's soil.
Ibrahim Traore is not wasting time. He wants to achieve 100%employment and everything for Burkinabes before he leaves office.
Modern marriage will lead you into financial ruin if you marry for looks and ignore character, financial discipline, work ethic, and the ability to build a life together. Beauty attracts you, but it won’t save you from a partner who destroys everything you’re working for.
Women are the only females in nature that cannot fulfill their own biological responsibilities as a gender on their own.
In almost 95% of species, females raise their offspring as single mothers with little to no assistance from males.
A skinny, pregnant grizzly wakes up alone in a -20° cave. No husband, no epidural, no help. She births 2 cubs, bleeds alone, then kills a moose with her teeth to feed them. If a male comes near, she'll fight him to the death.
Human women…the most privileged women in history…with more active help from their husbands than any previous generation of
men
Men have historically contributed to providing:
Food? Men farmed it.
Shelter? Men built it.
Modern medicine? 90% of doctors and
scientists were male until the 1970s, and they cut maternal death from 1 in 100 to 1 in 10,000.
Birth control? Male chemists created the pill.
Abortion? Male surgeons legalized it and perform it.
Child support? Male taxes pay for the courts that force other men to pay you.
So the scoreboard is:
Female animals: High investment, zero complaints.
Human females: Low investment, maximum complaints.
Male animals: Zero investment, zero apologies.
Human males: Maximum investment, and are still told it's not enough.
At least 80 people were killed, and 27 were injured in drone strikes targeting markets in the disputed Abyei region. As South Sudan accuses the Sudanese army of the attack, UN peacekeepers have doubled patrols to deter further violence and are treating the casualties.

Last Wednesday in Mecca, Saudi Arabia executed a young Bangladeshi couple Abdulbasir and Siti, who had chosen to travel for Umrah as their honeymoon.
Newly married. Holy city, holy journey, new life.
They say that in the courtyard of the mosque, he kissed his wife.
They say a man from Pakistan, a fellow pilgrim who came to pray, took out his phone instead, filmed them, and sent it to the Saudi authorities.
They were arrested. Tried. Sentenced to death.
And last Wednesday, Saudi Arabia executed them.
Two people went to Mecca to start a marriage. Two coffins came back to Bangladesh.
South Sudan has summoned Sudan's ambassador to Juba to protest a suspected army drone strike on an Abyei market that reportedly killed 73 civilians, though the toll remains unconfirmed.

Sudan Armed Forces Reportedly Attack Amiet Market in Abyei
The Sudan Armed Forces have reportedly attacked Amiet Market in the Abyei Administrative Area.
The attack reportedly targeted oil tankers northwest of the market. No information about casualties is available so far.
Attacking Amet Market in Abyei Region. Is a stupid miscalculation by SAF as usual. Abyei region literally hosts hundreds of thousands of Sudanese people displaced from the war itself and attacking a market there’s no legitimate military target period. Morons
