The reason a lot of you don’t see anything wrong in one person hoarding large sums of money while people slave away and die of hunger is because you aspire to be like that also. Unfortunately, you are more likely to walk on water than to be a trillionaire.
That exact obsessive energy you are currently wasting on this World Cup. That intoxicating passion that completely covers you when your favorite team is miraculously on the winning side, that deafening euphoria you are aggressively using to bug your exhausted friends at the crowded sports bar to celebrate a goal, that precious 90 minutes, plus added extra time, nail-biting penalty shootouts, lengthy VAR reviews, and endless post-match analysis that you somehow comfortably have to spare for this glittering, corporate-sponsored competition that you hold so dearly to your distracted heart.
Please, I am aggressively begging you to channel that exact same fierce, unrelenting energy into discussing the absolute collapse of Nigeria. Nigeria is violently, uncontrollably bleeding out, and this is not some poetic exaggeration, a lazy political metaphor, or a dramatic hyperbole.
Over 1,500 innocent, defenseless citizens have already been brutally kidnapped, dragged into terrifying forests, and held for mathematically impossible ransoms this year alone. And bear in mind, this terrifying statistic does not even begin to account for the actual death toll, which comfortably sits in the dozens every single bi-weekly cycle, leaving behind permanently grieving widows, traumatized orphaned children, abandoned homes, burning markets, and completely wiped-out rural farming communities.
To top all of this inescapable nightmare off, we currently have a sitting, highly detached president whose sole operational calculus, daily routine, political ambition, and grand economic vision is to blindly, ruthlessly, and obediently do the destructive biddings of global boardroom terror organizations like the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Paris Club, predatory foreign bondholders, and aggressively greedy Wall Street hedge funds.
The elites will not talk about us before they work for this very establishment.
It is our grand duty to talk about Nigeria and fight for Nigeria.
It is deeply disturbing and wildly hypocritical that U.S. politician Riley Moore is quietly working behind the scenes with Washington to pressure, bully, and strong-arm Nigeria into creating a state policing system.
Thanks to this relentless diplomatic campaign, endless foreign lobbying, and indirect threats of secondary economic sanctions, the spineless union of comprador elites at the Nigerian House of Representatives has unilaterally voted for the approval of this dangerous Bill.
This means state policing will soon be codified into the Nigerian constitution and officially signed into law.
What is even more terrifying and deeply depressing is that a sweeping majority of ordinary Nigerians are actually sitting idly by, clapping enthusiastically, and cheering passionately for this legislative Trojan horse to be passed and codified into law. This tragic ignorance is somewhat understandable since our hopelessly compromised media outlets, corrupt television pundits, and American grant-chasing activists have been heavily whitewashing, glorifying, and aggressively sanitizing this Bill.
All of a sudden, the manufactured narrative is that state policing will miraculously solve the insecurity crisis, magically end the rampant kidnappings, and immediately stop the bloodshed. The lie being sold is that it will allow the state governors of the federation to properly coordinate their local forces, deploy tactical teams, and respond swiftly to terror attacks, rural banditry, and highway kidnappings without the usual suffocating bureaucratic hurdles.
First of all, this is a blatant lie cooked straight up in the deepest pits of hell purely to appeal to the raw, bleeding emotions of ordinary Nigerians who are already exhausted victims of this daily insecurity. To clearly see why this is a massive deception, please permit me to enlighten you that the chronic insecurity in Nigeria is absolutely not happening because the state is simply unable to properly control its policing units, direct its tactical squads, or manage its intelligence networks. Insecurity in Nigeria happens strictly due to a severe, intentional, and catastrophic governance vacuum.
In many parts of Nigeria, there is a sharp, heartbreaking contrast in the standard of living between the political elites living in the fortified cities and the neglected masses living deep inside the rural, agrarian communities. The state capital and a tiny handful of commercially successful towns are the only places where all the functional government institutions actually exist. This neatly includes the lucrative revenue collection offices, the sprawling supreme courts, the heavily fortified police headquarters, the massive military barracks, the well-paved road networks, the exclusive government hospitals, and the elite private schools. Meanwhile, in the distant rural communities, these critical state institutions are practically and deliberately absent. The only visible signs of government are a handful of decaying health centers, roofless community schools, abandoned water projects, and ghost clinics, all of which are violently underfunded, hopelessly neglected, and operating far below basic human capacity.
This massive vacuum is exactly where opportunistic foreign NGOs, radical Islamic clerics, and wealthy Christian missionaries swoop in to completely fill the void. In Northern Nigeria, which is the birthplace of Boko Haram and where over 90% of the terrorism in Nigeria violently takes place, there are reported to be more than 20 million supposedly out-of-school children. But these children are not technically out of school. They are actively being educated informally in isolated Islamic temples teaching strict Wahhabi-Salafi Islam, which is a highly distorted, weaponized version of the religion that brainwashes the pupil to violently hate the secular state, despise democracy, and view any modern scientific progress, secular education, or constitutional law as a direct threat that justifies establishing an Islamic caliphate. It is crucially important to know that this aggressive Wahhabi interpretation is not the original, peaceful version of Islam practiced globally. It was systematically cooked up, heavily funded, and aggressively exported by Saudi Arabia directly following an explicit request by the American government during the Cold War era. Most of the fierce Mujahideen that fought brutal guerrilla warfare against the Soviets in Afghanistan, as well as several top ISIS commanders, Al-Qaeda operatives, and regional warlords, were proudly produced straight from these exact ideological schools. It must also be loudly mentioned that Saudi Arabia has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Nigeria just to establish these Wahhabi schools, radicalize the youth, and build sprawling mosques. Even the very first founder of Boko Haram, Muhammad Yusuf, was thoroughly educated by these foreign-backed Wahhabi scholars, and he even eventually traveled to Saudi Arabia to further his radical studies, secure dark funding, and build lethal connections before returning to Nigeria to set up his terrifying Boko Haram terror networks. Not only are these foreign religious institutions brainwashing Nigerians in the North, but they also effectively provide all the basic social services that the actual government (which is too busy looting in the cities) is completely unable to provide. These desperate services include daily feeding, basic healthcare, conflict resolution, rudimentary shelter, clothing, and financial handouts. And this dangerous phenomenon is absolutely not exclusive to Northern Nigeria alone. Similar foreign-funded religious centers, evangelical cults, and shadowy NGOs exist heavily even in the South, but they all have their different setups, distinct financial architectures, and operational doctrines that heavily depend on the specific foreign interests exploiting that region.
So effectively, the rural communities across Nigeria function as an entirely separate state within a state. This makes it structurally impossible for federal intelligence agencies to gather reliable, actionable information because the deadly rebels, bandits, and terrorists are usually recruited directly from the impoverished villagers, thanks to years of intense religious brainwashing, economic desperation, and systemic neglect. The innocent villagers cannot even help the state because, even if they clearly see heavily armed terrorists regrouping, stockpiling weapons, and setting up massive mobile camps right inside their farmlands, they have absolutely no modern way of quickly passing these critical tips to law enforcement. Furthermore, the poorly armed local vigilantes are always tragically overwhelmed, outgunned, and stretched incredibly thin, busy battling petty thieves, settling mundane local disputes, or fighting off heavily armed cattle rustlers, so there is very little they can actually do.
So it is painfully clear that these ruthless rebels are able to effortlessly coordinate devastating attacks in Nigeria because their hardened fighters are recruited directly from the local villages, they understand the harsh geographic terrain far better than the suit-wearing security chiefs in Abuja, and the Nigerian state is completely, embarrassingly lacking in basic Human Intelligence (HUMINT) because they are effectively, arrogantly disconnected from the very people they claim to govern.
So that begs the screaming, million-dollar question: How exactly is this highly celebrated state policing bill supposed to magically address any of this? There is basically zero structural provision for this underlying social rot, and if anything, things will only get spectacularly worse.
This is not idle hearsay, wild speculation, or political conspiracy. It is basically written right there in the fine print of the new bill currently being aggressively pushed, heavily funded, and enthusiastically supported even by Washington to be codified into law. The new Bill explicitly dictates a messy, convoluted structure where the states shall only inherit 60% of the operational police officers in the region, while the remaining 40% percent stubbornly belongs to the federal government. This ridiculous mathematics means that under this new experimental system, the state governor, who is supposedly getting his own independent, highly effective police unit, will immediately be forced to operate at a massive, crippling disadvantage. Because if 100 percent of the entire centralized policing unit in a state cannot currently fix the insecurity, stop the kidnappings, or defeat the bandits, how in the absolute hell is a fractured, poorly funded 60 percent supposed to pull off that miracle?
To make things infinitely worse, if you actually sit down and study the legislative text closely, things get even more terrifying. For example, the underlying operational framework dictates that the existing police command and control centers, the massive training academies, the sprawling barracks, the heavily fortified armories, the forensic laboratories, and the central communication hubs in the state all remain exclusive federal government property. This guarantees that once a so-called state police unit is established, the governors would then have to magically conjure up tens of billions of Naira. Not only would they have to spend aggressively on mass recruitment just to fill the massive 40 percent personnel gap absorbed back by the federal government, but they would now also have to practically build a new police force from absolute scratch. They would have to construct brand new barracks, buy thousands of armored patrol vehicles, procure heavy tactical assault weapons, purchase expensive riot gear, build local detention centers, and acquire modern communication radios just to be able to physically police their own state. This means that many bankrupt states would have to painfully wait for decades before they can even improve their basic security infrastructure. State governments will obviously, ruthlessly prioritize funding this bloated security apparatus over building new public schools, repairing collapsed bridges, or properly funding dying healthcare centers. As for the many heavily indebted states in the North that are already engulfed in violent flames thanks to the relentless Boko Haram insurgencies, raising this kind of capital is mathematically impossible. They will simply collapse completely into total anarchy, warlordism, and chaos because there is absolutely not sufficient internally generated revenue from these states to ever justify, fund, or sustain such massive, white-elephant policing projects.
Now this begs another screaming, million-dollar question: What is the actual, hidden purpose of this new state policing law if not for pure, unadulterated political madness? This disjointed system will obviously, violently disrupt Nigeria's already fragile efforts to handle national security. The astronomical money that each impoverished state is expected to blindly cough up just to set up individual barracks, buy armored personnel carriers, establish forward operating bases, and procure basic tactical gear will run into the billions of dollars. And this massive financial bleeding is only just to get the symbolic, highly politicized police force somewhat operational, not even to actually fight the violent crime it was supposedly designed to defeat. The staggering capital required for this vanity project is comfortably enough to purchase dozens of highly advanced MQ-9 Reaper drones. These military-grade aerial beasts have the terrifying ability to stay airborne for up to 27 continuous hours, and a single drone can effortlessly patrol the entire dense forests of any individual state in Nigeria in less than one hour. If each state simply had about four of these unmanned beasts, they would have more than enough technological equipment to permanently crush crime in their regions. These drones come heavily equipped with state-of-the-art Multi-Spectral Targeting Systems, high-resolution infrared thermal cameras that can easily see human body heat through thick forest canopies, Synthetic Aperture Radar for all-weather tracking, laser designators for precision strikes, and deadly Hellfire missiles to vaporize terrorist camps. The billions about to be senselessly wasted on building useless concrete barracks, sewing colorful new uniforms, and purchasing outdated assault rifles for this new parallel policing unit would be put to infinitely better use if channeled into mounting solar-powered, high-definition CCTV cameras that span the entire road networks of the federation, thereby finally giving law enforcement enough hard data, facial recognition tracking, and real-time intelligence to actually fight crime. Right now in Nigeria, all we ever hear is that innocent people are getting kidnapped on the expressways, and that is tragically it. There are absolutely no CCTV footages capturing the exact license plate numbers of the operational vehicles doing the kidnapping, no aerial surveillance tracking the escape routes, no thermal imaging pinpointing the forest hideouts, no encrypted digital communication among patrol units, and no automated biometric databases. As a result, our brave but poorly equipped law enforcement officers are forced to operate completely in the blind, analog darkness.
This is precisely why every single Nigerian needs to immediately forget about the distracting World Cup tournament, get off social media banter, and urgently download this new, highly toxic Bill that is about to be quietly smuggled, stamped, and codified into the constitution. This new piece of legislation needs to be aggressively studied, dissected, and exposed because it has the absolute, terrifying potential to completely collapse our entire existing security infrastructure within the next five short years. This is exactly what our highly paid TV pundits, morning show hosts, and public intellectuals need to be aggressively talking about. Not the trivial football banter, not the celebrity gossip, and definitely not the South African immigration crisis. Our innocent women and defenseless children are currently sleeping in terrifying, bandit-infested forests, being held for multi-million Naira ransoms, and this brutal reality should obviously anger us, deeply bother us, and violently push us to fight for a genuine, structural change. Instead, everyone seems to be getting dangerously comfortable, disturbingly docile, and completely brainwashed by this state-sponsored propaganda aggressively claiming that creating 36 heavily armed, underfunded, and politically loyal state militias will somehow magically reduce insecurity when codified into law.
This is far beyond ridiculous. It will only maliciously deflect desperately needed funding away from the most critical, life-saving institutions in a state just to set up bloated barracks, buy expensive parade uniforms, and build lavish offices to house what will inevitably become glorified, armed government thugs. This is absolutely not a baseless rumor, a cynical theory, or an unfounded fear. Nigeria has heavily practiced state policing before, specifically during the pre-1966 era known as the chaotic First Republic, where regional governments commanded the notorious Native Authority Police. The security situation of the country back then was so violently bad, so fiercely tribal, and so politically compromised that it could easily be compared to the bloody warlordism era in China, where different parts of the country were brutally governed by different, heavily armed warlords. When this decentralized state policing was actively being practiced in Nigeria, the powerful regional premiers and governor did not use the men in uniform to fight actual crimes, protect the vulnerable, or secure the borders. Instead, these armed units were viciously deployed to aggressively rig regional elections on behalf of the ruling party, they were used to violently harass opposition candidates, they were dispatched to publicly humiliate, depose, and banish local traditional chiefs who were not completely loyal to the governor, they were weaponized to brutally crush peaceful tax protests, they were sent to extort market women, and they were transformed into ruthless, tribal hit squads.
These are absolutely not empty rumors or historical exaggerations. You can easily find these facts documented in any credible history book, academic journal, or archival record detailing Nigeria's political violence during the First Republic. This state-sanctioned madness, regional tyranny, and police brutality continued unchecked until the military intervened and the civilian government was violently removed from power. It was shortly after this total collapse of law and order that the military government, under General Yakubu Gowon, set up a specialized panel to deeply investigate the catastrophic state policing doctrine in Nigeria. Following the panel's stark, undeniable recommendations, the entire bloody sham of state, regional, and Native Authority policing was permanently dismantled, fully centralized into the Nigeria Police Force, and completely abolished in all its entirety. And that was supposed to be the absolute end of that monumental, deadly stupidity.
I am absolutely not a genius for pointing this out. All of this basic historical information spilled out here is public knowledge. U.S. politicians like Riley Moore and the foreign lobbyists pushing this agenda have all the intimate details, the historical data, and the risk assessments. Our utterly shameless, cash-and-carry media houses, who are subliminally brainwashing the public into believing that state policing is somehow going to magically empower state governors to tackle insecurity, fully know, see, and understand every single thing I am saying. They are deliberately ignoring the truth and merely reading the highly sanitized, deceptive scripts handed directly to them by their wealthy political paymasters, foreign grant-makers, and corporate sponsors, all just to comfortably convince exhausted Nigerians to blindly accept this suicidal Bill. When this legislative poison is finally codified into law, and Nigeria inevitably splinters, fractures, and gets violently reduced to a chaotic, warring wasteland like Libya, Somalia, or Sudan (which is absolutely not impossible), these exact foreign cartels, multinational mining syndicates, and global power brokers pushing so hard for this Bill will finally have all the chaotic time, the ungoverned space, and the perfect distraction in the world to violently, ruthlessly milk the trillion-dollar solid minerals buried deep in the Middle Belt region, the vast gold reserves in Zamfara, the lithium deposits in Nasarawa, and the endless, fertile lands of Northern Nigeria.
Every single Nigerian needs to urgently wake up, join hands together right now, and unilaterally, aggressively, and violently condemn, expose, and reject this utterly demonic, sovereignty-destroying bill before it is too late.
Nigerians are literally being tortured and kidnapped in Mexico by ruthless cartels, while Mexican authorities are documented by human rights groups as being among the most systemically racist against Black people.
Yet, you would still rather line up to support them over your own sister African nation.
No wonder this post hit 6 million views in just 13 hours. The algorithm absolutely thrives when Black people turn against each other.
This is a spectacularly careless statement and a dangerously counterproductive commentary, especially coming from a veteran journalist and a former presidential spokesperson like Reuben Abati.
I am not even watching the World Cup right now for the sake of basic human dignity, so I do not have the luxurious privilege of blindly supporting any team to win. But rallying the entire population of Nigeria to unilaterally boycott South Africa is incredibly foolish and a massive, resounding slap in the face of African unity.
Yes, it is absolutely true that what is currently happening in South Africa is a horrific human rights crisis. The rounding up of foreigners by violent mobs, the brazen looting of immigrant-owned shops, the senseless torching of properties, the broad daylight lynchings, and the targeted assassination of African migrants are all deeply sickening. But you absolutely cannot advocate for the blanket boycott of an entire sovereign country on these shaky grounds because you are indirectly advocating for the exact same collective punishment, blind bigotry, and xenophobic division that you are supposedly criticizing. Also, we cannot just comfortably pretend that all South Africans are mindlessly uprooting foreigners from their homes to brutalize them. There are millions of ordinary South Africans, heavily active civil society organizations, brave human rights activists, and community leaders who actively condemn this senseless violence and put their lives on the line to protect foreign nationals.
And let us completely stop pretending as if this violent bigotry is strictly a South African monopoly. Right here in Nigeria, for example, the Igbo people have been viciously harassed, unapologetically ethnically profiled, aggressively disenfranchised during elections, their bustling markets deliberately torched, their private businesses looted to the absolute ground, and their fundamental rights as citizens repeatedly trampled upon, all while they are supposedly living peacefully inside the very place they recognize as their own country. And even as all of this state-sanctioned madness is happening, the police are either conveniently nowhere to be found, merely standing by, or actively assisting the political hoodlums. The billionaire class and high-profile chieftains in those communities are always predictably quiet, aggressively looking the other way, or making deeply disparaging remarks on national television to justify the violence. The federal government is either absolutely silent or deliberately dragging its feet to prosecute the known thugs behind these crimes. The very next thing we hear in these ridiculous circumstances is that they have set up a symbolic committee to magically resolve the ethnic grievances. This useless committee will then aggressively drag the issue for years until absolutely nobody is interested in whatever meaningless, heavily doctored reports they eventually publish.
This is the exact, predictable pattern that the parasitic capitalist class uses to expertly deflect blame and violently redirect public anger onto convenient, defenseless scapegoats. In the streets of South Africa right now, the political propaganda is dialed to the absolute maximum. The glaring fact that the white minority still comfortably controls over 70 percent of the prime land and corporate wealth is all of a sudden the fault of the poor immigrants. The fact that the brutal Apartheid system was never fully dismantled to balance the economy and allow black citizens to climb the social ladder is magically the fault of the Ghanaians. The fact that violent crime rates are skyrocketing is no longer recognized as a catastrophic state failure that should warrant a complete overhaul of the corrupt security chiefs, but is instead entirely blamed on the Nigerians. The crippling unemployment rate is conveniently blamed on the Somalis, the crumbling public infrastructure is attributed to the Zimbabweans, and the gross incompetence of the ruling elite is miraculously dumped on the shoulders of undocumented migrants. This was the exact same toxic, fabricated storyline they ruthlessly cooked up in Northern Nigeria explicitly against the Igbos. The ruling elites perfectly orchestrate this bloody theater to deflect from their own monumental failures and permanently shield themselves from righteous public aggression.
Reuben Abati should not be making these reckless, highly inflammatory statements on live television. Xenophobia will only end when other African nations aggressively force the political government of South Africa, the mining cartels, and the massive corporations controlling their resources to absolute order. It will certainly not stop by making reactionary xenophobic remarks, throwing media tantrums, and calling for the lazy boycott of an entire group of people. The last thing we need right now is more border friction and manufactured hatred in Africa. Genuine African unity is utterly integral to any serious conversation about total decolonization.
you'll pay the money o, if you no see am pay make them carry you and your mama. since all of you are so stupid and dense.
these people have k!lled your fellow citizens in unspeakably brutal ways. there have been horrific, gruesome scenes, and yet you thought it was okay to collect "giveaway" money from them??
Only a revolution can send the parasitic rent seekers to the gallows and give us the new Nigeria we seek.
Only a revolution can destroy the cabals keeping us down.
The NGO cabal
The Northern elites cabal
The illegal mining cabal
The southern elites cabal
The religious leaders cabal
The oil and gas cabal
The cabals in the armed forces
The civil service cabal
The cabal in the legislature
The cabal in the judiciary
The outright spies
All of these parasites and traitors must be crushed into oblivion.
Their systems dismantled and their irredeemable agents taken for skydiving lessons wearing imaginary parachutes.
The must be more aggressively put down like what the Chinese communists did to their feudal lords and corrupt aristocrats.
Only then we can build a new Nigeria on the tabula rasa
Attempting to dismantle the structure of criminality via "democracy" is impossible because you have to compromise with these cabals or go full autocrat.
... And an autocrat by definition is not a democrat. So you'd arrive at the same conclusion.
Like pathetic rats, they will seek to undermine you at every turn.
They will nibble at your people-focused policies and incite the retarded masses who don't know their forehead from their asshole to turn against you on tribal or religious grounds.
And when you try to crush them like the disgusting traitors that they are, they will go on BBC, CNN and Fox News calling you a dictator.
The compromised senate will block every attempt at reform and the compromised media will tell the people you are incompetent.
And if somehow you manage to weather the storm, once your term is over, these parasites will return more viciously to continue their parasitic ways.
This is why there can be no reconciliation, restructuring or reform.
Only their complete structural and where necessary physical demise will suffice.
There is no other way.
About this abortion issue for fetuses with Down syndrome or pathological defects. I feel Nigerians are very performative and selective moralists.
As far as e no affect them, they will ALWAYS take the moral high ground.
Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans
Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.
They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.
So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.
This is not a good precedent for a society that wishes to progress. See how grown idiots have successfully convinced these naive minds that their problems are spiritual! Instead of enlightening them that the government has failed them!
The rise of Mega churches in Nigeria brought in a very dangerous ideology to Nigerian Christians, which is prioritizing Individualism rather than Collectivism.
We see it in the doctrines and sermons being put forward and type of prayers we pray.
You see people pray things like:
"This government will favour me and my family."
"Many are in the mortuary, hospital, Kidnapped, but we're hale and hearty."
"When others are saying there's casting down, we'll be saying there's a lifting up" and many other prayer points.
Ideologies like this strip the community of achieving a common goal or fighting for a collective interests.
That's one reason calling out the government is somewhat difficult. Because if you're in a comfortable postion in life, you'll be more reluctant to join any struggle movement.
This is something we need to break out from this 2026.
A society grows when men plants trees on which they know they'll not sit on. This of the future generations and fight for their sake.
How did one man hold power for eight years, preside over the disappearance of $12.4 billion, build Africa's most sophisticated system of political corruption, annul the freest election his country ever held, and retire to a mansion without ever being prosecuted?
