The best thing you can do for yourself as a Nigerian is to use that internet connection of yours while you still can, and follow/read/watch information from a wide variety of sources from all over the world.
Your Nigerian media is a Europe-US information cage. When I say "Nigerian media", I'm not just talking about news platforms. I mean your popular social media bloggers. Your big content aggregators. Your online discussion and image boards. Everything is bought and paid for, and the money is always European or American.
Do yourself a favour and unplug.
Look for news, web content, TV series, movies and discussion forums from Asia, Latin America and other parts of Africa. Watch Brazilian TV shows. Watch Chinese documentaries. Watch Vietnamese movies. Follow social media content creators from Indonesia and Russia. Lurk on Pakistani message boards. Gain a wider picture of the world while you still have access to a relatively open internet that allows you to do so.
It's the best thing you can do for yourself.
The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.
Patrice Lumumba On Why He Became A Revolutionary
In this excerpt from the groundbreaking 1990 documentary “Lumumba: Death of a Prophet”, by Haitian director Raoul Peck, revolutionary Congolese leader and Pan-Africanist icon Patrice Lumumba, recounts his conservative upbringing under Belgian colonial occupation, and the revelations and realisations that would set him on the path of revolution.
Patrice Lumumba was Congo’s first democratically-elected leader, whose defiance of Belgium’s neocolonial ambitions for his country post-independence threatened Western powers. He was murdered by Belgian mercenaries on January 17th, 1961, in collaboration with local, pro-Western terrorists, under the watchful eye of the CIA.
The mineral-rich Congo has been ravaged by externally-imposed chaos and terror ever since.
I dont agree.
I think some people will fight. A lot of people will be on the White Mans payroll.
I think the Police will arrest me. And Jail Democracy Hub protestors.
I think Civil Society will go on Joy News to say they agree with us, they just don’t accept our methods.
I think we will call for demonstrations; and only 50 people will show up.
I think we will be called trouble makers. I think I will remove the white police car key to demobilize their vehicle. I think Gold coasters will be shocked that how dare you take the Car key of the white police officers.
I think I agree ooo. Eih! #StopGalamseyNow
