I genuinely think one of the highest forms of alienation is watching your people’s suffering become an intellectual exercise for people who will never bear any consequences from being wrong.
Promise you electricity.
Get himself solar panels and inverter.
You, the understanding idiot, is on Band A inside heat.
Focus on Peter Obi for now sha.
Edward Snowden said it the best:
"When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"
"Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."
The reason Africa is poor is because we don’t choose our leaders. We are made to believe we choose them. African leaders are chosen in London, Paris & Washington.
I studied architectural design in Cameroon and every architect they taught me was European. Every movement, every theory, every name on the required reading list. The Great Mosque of Djenné, the Moorish arch, Great Zimbabwe never appeared on any syllabus.
Now I am studying management and every economist is Western. George Ayittey, a Ghanaian who built an entire economic framework for African development, has never appeared in a single lecture. Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian economist who argued that Western aid is destroying African economies, same.
Two disciplines. Not one African name in the required reading.
This is not only an architecture problem. It is medicine, law, economics, history. Every field is taught through a foreign lens and when a student tries to think beyond it they are disciplined for it.
We are not behind because we lack knowledge. We are behind because we were taught that ours does not count.

It was definitely her idea not to entertain family for more than a week. If it was his own parent that died and his siblings needed a home to stay, the rule may not be revoked.
Rules like this is a blatant red flag. Only evil people make those rules. The silent part of the rule is usually "your family."
You know antisemitism is a fake problem because as soon as one random private citizen comes out and says he doesn't like Jews it's seen as so significant and newsworthy that it monopolizes the attention of the political/media class for days.
What I want after this world cup is over.
1. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.
2. Infantino to be booted out.
3. Hydration Breaks to never occur when temperatures are at a certain level.
4. Ticket prices to be capped at a reasonable amount.
5. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.
The fact that we accepted to paying 1300 naira for a litre of fuel is why they will increase it.
The fact that we accepted to paying 2400 naira per kg of gas is why they will increase it.
For every bad policy we adjust to, more will surely come.
“Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards.”
So there it is - this wasn’t about banning under 16s from social media, this was about giving EVERYONE a digital ID.
