we work x5 harder than them to make peanuts, they make good money just by working casually. we still pay x5 of whatever they pay to get. we also live in a system that doesn’t like us progressing. i hate my country with all my heart.
Everything I know about this guy has been acquired against my will. I’ve muted the name, trained the algorithm, filed a silent protest… yet somehow he keeps respawning on my timeline.
At this point, I’m convinced the app is conducting an unsolicited educational program. My IQ deserves compensation.
Nobody gives a fuvk about what that shyt is called. We want to see Yoruba-built AI going head-to-head with Igbo-built space rockets. This endless bigotry from both sides is pure third-world retardation.
Or any small progress in your life its seen as "ahhh you are enjoying ohh".
Very poor demographic.
Little wonder we are the poverty capital of the world and It's not just Financial poverty.
Nigerians have this obsession with wanting to paint themselves as victims and in a worse situation than the next person. Do you want pity?
"Your own even better. If I tell you my own."
"Life soft for you, you no wetin suffer be?"
You don't know people's situation and you are not even interested. You just want to comparatively victimize yourself as though there is an award for who suffer pass. Who even determines who suffer pass? What is the metric?
In Jackie Chans movie "The forbidden Kingdom" there is a script I love so much.
Where Jet li said " he who knows does not speak, he who speaks does not know".
This is the world as we know it.
I think there is a curse attached to intelligence: an aversion to the limelight. The truly intelligent rarely feel the need to prove that they know because their curiosity is directed towards knowing, not displaying.
The unintelligent, on the other hand, often feel a greater urgency to perform intelligence than to acquire it. They would rather appear knowledgeable than become knowledgeable.
The paradox is a tad fascinating. You would expect those who know the most to speak the loudest, yet it is so often those who know the least who are most eager to be heard.
Perhaps that is how the scales balance themselves. Those who know remain preoccupied with learning, while those who do not know advertise themselves with remarkable confidence. And in exposing the limits of their own understanding so publicly, they may be reminded of the vastness of what they do not know and, perhaps learn.
Intelligent people are endanger species.
On the right side, you're tackling political olodos.
On the left side, you're tackling religious olodos.
At the center, you're tackling your family deeply rooted in archaic culture and traditions.
If you look back, you're tackling with your Nigerian girlfriend who expects you to take care of her like her father will even though her father can't.
If you take a little step further, you're tackling thugs and motor park touts aka agberos, who are harassing you because you're not willing to spare your last 1k for their juvenile exuberance.
If you're driving a private car, you're in soup - the Nigerian police are ready to frame you up for a crime you know nothing of or even steal your car or money. If you try to defend yourself, you'll spend the weekend in prison.
At home, you're tackling your neighbors because they are not adhering to communal rules.
In the club, instead of the DJ to play good jams, the night becomes a party of praising yahoo boys and ritualists and kidnappers.
Don't even try to question market men and women about their products even if the fakeness is obvious and glaring - they will insult you to stupor.
If you're not trying to act stupid and shameless to make money, you're obviously the "stupid person" and the stupid person acting stupidly is the "intelligent person" because Tiktok and YouTube is paying them for their stupidity aka skits.
The Nigerian society is totally against intelligent minds.
