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.
This is one of the reasons why I actually want Peter Obi to become President. I honestly want to see a different political culture in Nigeria. I want to see what happens when the person sitting at the top is genuinely serious about fixing the systemic rot in the country.
Just take a look at this. You see these names being mentioned, you see the amount of money involved, you see the allegations, you see the connections and then you start asking yourself: how did a handful of people become this powerful in a country of over 240 million+ people?
If a President is genuinely serious about fighting corruption, then I expect that seriousness to show in the people closest to him too. I don’t care if someone is your friend, your associate, your political ally or someone you’ve known for years. If there are serious allegations against that person, investigate them. If wrongdoing is established, let the law take its course.
I don’t want a President who only talks about fighting corruption. I want to see the culture around the Presidency change. I want people close to power to know that being close to power doesn’t make them untouchable.
And this is exactly why I resonate with Peter Obi’s political culture. He is the only politician I’ve seen so far whose emphasis on fixing the systemic problems in the political landscape and government genuinely speaks to me. I’m not saying he’s perfect. I’m saying this is the kind of political culture I want to see.
A culture where public money is treated like public money. A culture where leadership is about responsibility, not entitlement.
A culture where people close to the President are not automatically protected from scrutiny.
A culture where Nigerians don’t have to keep watching videos about billions of naira and asking themselves how this keeps happening. These are someof the reasons I want Peter Obi to become President.
I want to get to a point where I don’t have to keep opening X and watching retarded videos like this every other day, looking at billions of naira and asking myself how this shit keeps happening
I want to see a Nigeria where these things are taken seriously, investigated properly and dealt with.
That is one of the reasons I want Peter Obi to become President. I want to see what Nigeria looks like when the culture at the top actually changes.
Everybody and their mama been showering Mr Macaroni with tributes since yesterday cuz he’s genuinely a great guy. Everybody except APC people. Those ones are always on the wrong side of everything.
If you dey support APC, just know that you’re useless and na God go punish you!
Congenital talipes equinovarus aka Club foot. Na their food in Ortho unit at Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesha be this. When they knack am with ponseti method you won't believe that the leg used to be like this some few months ago.
They will scrutinize Peter Obi to death, ask him questions about every statement, every decision and every issue, yet somehow that same energy disappears when it comes to the President and the people running the country.
They will spend hours attacking a man who actually comes out to speak, explain himself and answer questions, while barely asking the same questions of a president who hardly comes out to address Nigerians on the problems affecting them.
Then you go to the comments and see a bunch of retarded people still attacking him. A man who is always willing to come out and give an account of himself.
The psychology of so many Nigerians has been so damaged that they would rather have a politician who is not accountable than one who is accountable.
If you are looking for leaders who will come out, speak to the people, answer questions and give an account of themselves, isn’t that exactly the kind of politician you should be encouraging?
ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION
I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days.
I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics.
I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended.
Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them.
Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally:
As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility.
When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified.
Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years.
The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014.
The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting.
The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure.
This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record.
The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure.
The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.
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.
I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.
A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.
They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.
They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.
Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.
The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.
Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.
At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.
Nothing happened to you.
The economy happened to you.
And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.
Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.
You didn’t lose your job.
You didn’t lose your salary.
But somehow, you lost your standard of living.
That is poverty too.
And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.
Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.
But surely, the bigger question should be:
Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?
If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.
But it has not solved the actual problem.
The real problem is that his labour has lost value.
And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.
How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?
How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?
How do we make food cheaper by producing more?
How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?
How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?
Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.
It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.
There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.
There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.
There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.
There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.
People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”
Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”
That is the part that keeps bothering me.
Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.
They just want hard work to make sense again.
And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:
Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?
Everything else is secondary.
Chess in the slum for his brothers and sisters.
Quality education for his own brothers and sisters.
Left chess in the slum after gaining global attention and popularity.
Doubled down on his campaign for quality education after recording successes in national and global competitions.
Different men, different perspectives, different purpose.
Tunde Onakoya teaches chess only to the kids from the Southwest, and has taken them abroad. We were happy and celebrated him for doing a great job.
Alex Onyia is pushing for Science and Math Olympiad in the Southeast, and has taken those kids abroad. Alex is now the tribal bigot.
Hypocritical idiots.
Arsenal are officially Premier League Champions. Ive waited 22 years to say that. Thank you Mikel Arteta. Unforgettable’s. What a journey it has been with each and every one of you. Champions of England. Easily one of the best days of my life. We did it ❤️

OBIDIENTS, stay sharp. Document everything!!!
This is the simple trick I’ve been using for years to verify land status with my smartphone, even when there’s no survey plan yet.
Most people think once a land doesn’t have a survey, there’s no way to check its status. That’s not really true.
Let’s assume your siblings or friends brings you an opportunity to buy land in a particular location, but the land doesn’t have a survey yet, so you can’t immediately confirm the status.
Here’s the simple thing I usually do.
Go and inspect the location, once you get to the exact location of the land, open Google Maps on your phone.
1.First, turn on your phone’s location so the map can detect your exact position.
2.When the map shows where you are standing, press and hold that spot on the map for a few seconds.
3.Immediately, some numbers will appear on your screen.
The numbers usually look something like this👇🏾
6.53244, 3.46872
Those numbers are called coordinates. Just copy them and save them somewhere.
That location coordinate is like the exact digital address of that land.
Now you can take those numbers to the state land registry or give them to a surveyor to run a proper check on the land.
Once the search is done, you’ll be able to know things like👇🏾
Whether the land is free from government acquisition.
Whether it falls inside committed government land.
Or if it’s safe to buy.
So even if a land doesn’t have a survey plan yet, the location coordinates alone can still help you verify the status of the land.
Very simple trick, but it can save you from several land problems.
