Take any population on earth.

For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.

Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.

Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.

Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.

When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.

Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.

Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.

Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.

Put the results on a map.

Call the map a "nature documentary."

Tell yourself the scores show something biological.

Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.

Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.

You did not follow the evidence.

You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.

And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.

Caught At The Park In Benue!!!💥

The Fulani kidnappers came to Ihotu park to board a vehicle to Makurdi. There, they met a girl they had kidnapped and released after paying ransom.

They were even using a bag they collected from the girl. The girl raised the alarm, held one inside the vehicle, and two took to their heels, but were caught.

They had a Ghana-must-go bag at the back of the vehicle. ₦11M was discovered inside. The Ihotu park manager called soldiers, both soldiers and police came to rescue them.

The girl followed them to the station. The Benue State Governor called the commissioner that he's interested in this case. They've been moved to Makurdi. Tunde Segun

If you experience chronic body itchiness after bathing, worry not.

Steep dried powdered leaves of castor plant in hot water, sieve and add honey to it. Drink a teacupful once daily.

Body itchiness will disappear. Nature heals.

@skiyobo @TribalChief234 @BalogunKakanfo1 Thank you for putting him where he belongs, although I don't like generalisation but he caused this befitting response.

[Olorunje Joe @olorunje]

@Alkaneseries Stop making video, their sponsors will come and rescue them, why on earth will you arrest someone that shot at you, someone that wants to kill you? Tomorrow they will become repentant bandits and be released into society or be recruited to the Nigerian Army.

This amazing surgeon is running for political office yet she still continues to do her job as a medical doctor.

This is the kind of example we need to have and the kind of models we need to celebrate society.

Not people who have no source of income and become fat cats stealing public funds.

[Dr Folaseye (ENT/Head &Neck Surgeon) @DrFolaseye]

I used to think like you years ago but in 2019 I received the shocker of my life when discussing with some politicians then I realized that a significant number of people in political positions have no clue why they are there. if the knowledgeable ones don’t join politics we will continue to cry. And the crafty politicians will overrun us all
So it is deliberate when they frustrate us so we can back out , since I understood the game , I too decided to be doctor in the day and a full “local woman “ at night because that is where majority of Nigerians are. We can only help our country if we are in the majority. I love medicine yes but if we have a greater course someone must start belling the cat.
All professionals please stop running away from politics. Our strength as a Nation is tied to who governs us QED.

Nigeria, man. There's no escaping the rot, insecurity and dysfunction, no matter how rich you get.

1. Buy an SUV because the roads are bad, and you become a prime target for kidnapping, extortion, and inflated prices

2. Live in an estate for quiet and security but the moment you drive out the gate, you're back in the same poverty, crime, chaos and insecurity everyone else suffers. Your safety exists only within the walls of your expensive prison

3. Spend millions on solar so you don't have to suffer generator noise but your neighbours still use generators. You stop hearing yours, not theirs.

4. Make money and the women will come but the women who come are poor. You work hard to escape poverty, only to give your money to women who are hoping to escape their own poverty by 'working' you

5. Buy Starlink to escape MTN and Airtel, and now the whole compound wants your password.

"But it's unlimited now?"

Decline and you're a bad neighbour

The tragedy of trying to buy your way out systemic dysfunction is that you never truly solve the underlying problem. You just spend money trying to insulate yourself from it, and in that process, create new problems for yourself.

But you interprete it as progress because you no longer have the exact same probems as the next Nigerian.
Because progress here is less about better roads, reliable power and security for all.

Progress here is more about owning an SUV while everyone else dodges potholes in their Camry, having steady power and uninterrupted airconditioning whilst everyone else sweats through the heat, and living behind the 'security' of estate gates while everyone else lives with insecurity.

It is that contrast that gives me fulfilment. It is what makes you stand out, and provides both of us something to brag about. So the benchmark is not whether the system works; It is whether I am better than others in a system that does not work.

And I say "I", because I, also find myself thinking that way sometimes.

I also want to brag about paying 8 million for rent, rather than demand afforable housing for all or protest against the fraud of agents and the greed of landlords.

Afterall, I am also a product of the system.

As a result, most of what I, and by extension, Nigerians broadly speaking, consider progress, is a maladaptation to systemic failure.

It is, to condense it, progress measured against dysfunction, rather than freedom from it.

And 'Maladaptation' because the actions we have adapted to help us cope with the dysfunction, ultimately does more harm than good.

So for example, rather than protest insecurity, bad roads or unreliable power, we maladapt by travelling by air, buying SUVs and installing solar.

We spend money to work around failing institutions while the institutions themselves continue to decay.

But the problem with our "I better pass my neighbour' cope is that it will eventually reach its limit. Because as the rot and decay deepens and spreads, even our workarounds will fail, our estates will no longer keep the criminals and the abokis that surround us out (Abuja residents beware), the kidnappers will come to our doorsteps, like they're doing in Ekpoma, and our roads will get so bad even our four-wheelers will no longer be able to handle them, leading to accidents that will land us in hospitals with no doctors and nurses because our best health workers have japa'd.

@chrisbey2021 @Yeahmme @arojinle1 I will never heed this your foolish advise. I saw what changing of hands did to my very good friend while growing up. It challenged his intellect and psyche to the extent that he barely managed to scale through primary and secondary schools.

[Olorunje Joe @olorunje]

@arojinle1 @chrisbey2021 Oluko is it not even bad trying to change a person who is naturally accustomed to using left hand to right hand? I read it has huge negative impact on those lefties. Kindly use your platform to educate many on it, IF it's true, 10Q in advance

American: So there are terrorists causing problems in your country, right?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: That's terrible. Is the government at least doing something about it?

Nigerian: Well, our president addressed the issue.

American: Oh. What did he say?

Nigerian: He spoke about the law of lawf in the holy book

American: ...The law of love?

Nigerian: I guess

American: Okay. Did you send the military after them?

Nigerian: Hmm... at times.

American: What do you mean "at times"?

Nigerian: Sometimes we've heard the military went after them. In some cases, the terrorists ended up killing military personnel.

American: Wait. They killed your soldiers?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: Okay, so then your government retaliated and finished them off, right?

Nigerian: Mm... nah.

American: What do you mean "nah"?

Nigerian: Well, our president also gave an example from the Bible about the prodigal son on how we should accept them with love.

American: Hold on. The prodigal son?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: I'm confused. So you're telling me terrorists killed military personnel, and the response was a Bible lesson?

Nigerian: Something like that.

American: So you guys aren't doing anything?

Nigerian: No, no. We're doing something.

American: Okay. What are you doing?

Nigerian: We're rehabilitating the ones we catch.

American: You're... rehabilitating them?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: Not prosecuting them?

Nigerian: Not according to our president, no.

American: WTF WTF WTF

Nigerian: I never even tell you anything, you don dey cry
