@Chude__ This tweet brought a happy smile to my face and a joyful warmth to my heart. Many years from now, I'll show this picture to my grandkids and proclaim proudly: I WAS THERE!! ✊🏽😊✊🏽 #1MillionMarch4PeterObi in Port Harcourt, 21 May 2022

Look at this epic backtracking and ass covering! Same people who a few weeks back were on about "destroy Iranian civilisation" have been so humbled! 😂

Iran can do no wrong in my eyes at this point! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

@moon6eam_ Been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use this:

@VectorThaViper Be like Uncle Ozedikus just finished the neocolonialism 101 class. I'll await him in geopolitics 602.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

For context: General Soleimani was at the forefront of destroying Al-Qaida and its affiliates in Syria.

Mr "Save Nigerian Christians from deh Moozlim terruhriss" gave the direct order to murder the Iranian general who was fighting those exact "terrorists".

Whenever you wake up.

Sudan’s Army Continues To Make Gains Against UAE-Backed RSF

The externally-fueled proxy war in Sudan officially entered its fourth year this April 2026. Across the resource-rich North African nation, millions remain displaced, facing hunger, disease and death in what many are calling the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, while the “international community” continues to turn a blind eye.

The UAE-backed – and by extension, Western-aligned – Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia has perpetrated atrocities across Sudan in its campaign to seize resource-rich territory on behalf of its sponsors, with the regions of Darfur and Kordofan bearing the worst of the carnage. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) are fighting to reclaim their nation from this vicious t*rror group, and what was once simplistically painted by international media as a “civil war” between “rival factions”, has quickly transformed into a new independence struggle, with Sudan's gold, oil, arable land and sovereignty as the prize.

In this report, The Spearhead sheds light on the SAF’s recent gains against the RSF, and the entry of new players into this conflict, which could further complicate and prolong it.

At the heart of this catastrophe lies a simple truth:

The divisions imposed on Africa during the era of direct European colonialism are still being exploited today by those same colonial powers, so that they may continue to plunder the continent. If Africa is ever to truly rise, its people must first rise above these divisions.

[Barra Hart @barrahart]

Only 3% of us will ever leave this continent in our lifetimes — not that your 12+ years of "education" ever taught you that — so we are all effectively stuck here, and we will all finally learn geopolitics like our mates in China, North Korea and Iran, or we will all finally die.

[Kingsley @khay9yne]

@barrahart We are collectively paying the price for cowardice.

Nobody is coming to save us.

We will either unite and shake off the chains, or we will all die - alone.

The earth will keep on spinning.

@DavidHundeyin Posting to my WhatsApp.

Yes, I said I'll stop doing such - because it is wasted on those who've refused to see sense by now - but this one's a solid 10/10 bull's-eye.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

2 important dots to connect:

1986: IMF Structural Adjustment Program in Nigeria mandates Babangida to liberalise Nigeria's news media and information space. Foreign ownership and funding of mass media is permitted in Nigeria for the first time.

2026: 40 years later, after 2 generations of post-SAP Nigerians have been marinated in American-funded news, "education" and entertainment media for their entire lives, most Nigerians now believe they are Deputy Americans, and hold their primary allegiance to a country they have never been to on another continent. They now support openly imperialist actions by the US and would happily grind their own mothers into paste if the US president tells them to.

Bonus point: The US government owns 17% of the IMF, which requires an 85% voting majority to take decisions. This means the US holds veto power in the IMF, and the IMF is functionally an extension of US foreign policy.

There's this movie called "Girl on a Bicycle" that's been sitting in my computer for almost 5 years now, unwatched.

I finally watched it today.

Dearest brothers and sisters in the Lord, if this movie was a Nigerian movie, its name would be "You Go Explain Taya" 😂😂🤣🤣

[Ryan Cummings @Pol_Sec_Analyst]

For context, it would take a millionaire 11.5 days to count to that figure at $1/second.

It would take a billionaire 31.7 years to do the same.

A trillionaire would need 31,710 years to achieve this feat.

Mental.

[Kingsley @khay9yne]

@elnathan_john A little like my (southern) Nigeria brethren. We like to put up expensive funerals as evidence of how loved the deceased was, even if he/she died in penury.

[Kingsley @khay9yne]

Wait... As in...

I'm just... I'm just speechless.

[Netflix @netflix]

A young woman in East Texas gives birth in her car. When rushed to the hospital, doctors will quickly realize that the baby is not her own and neither is the blood she’s covered in.

Maternal Instinct — a new documentary — is now on Netflix.

There was a time my dad’s unit was ambushed in Maiduguri, and we didn’t hear from him for an entire week. The vehicle directly ahead of his was bombed, and shrapnel from the blast lodged in his forehead. We came dangerously close to losing him.

I’ve lost too many people to Nigeria’s insecurity to stay silent about it. For me, this isn’t politics or statistics, it’s personal. A very good number of my childhood friends lost their dad’s to insecurity, I am no better, I was just lucky!

@Ssaasquatch Fly Air Maroc.

Leave the tourist-curated streets.

Talk a long walk with 2 or 3 black woman.

Enter a not-so-posh cafe and ask for tea.

Ask any other blacks you see there about their experiences.

Fly Air Maroc (again).

Come back and tell us.

(Bonus: Hold your towel tight.)

@Thazhigilla_ I watched a lot of Hollywood TV/movies/cartoon as a kid (still do, if I'm being honest) and I unconsciously picked up a mix of American/English accent. Now I am forcing myself to do the reverse of what most anglophone Africans do - to speak English with my native Igbo accent.
