Instead of doomscrolling all day, spend your day learning end-to-end Nigerian History from the 9000s to date.

The Sokoto Caliphate is not the earliest documented existence of Nigeria, nor is the Oyo Empire.

Nigerian Delusion: Classism, Consumerism

Nigerians are classist, delusional, and consumerists. Instead of fixing the economy, its systems, or rooting out corruption, the common refrain is "hustle o," "hustle hard," "you're not hustling hard enough." As if grinding harder in a broken system is the answer to systemic failure.

This is a country where over 60% of the population lives in abject poverty. We endure bad healthcare, poor roads, and millions of unemployed graduates. Yet, many still walk around with the delusion that they will magically hit the jackpot, buy yachts, and turn around to mock the very poor they once belonged to.

This delusionalism is one of the primary reasons we cannot fight for a better country. We are too busy day dreaming of becoming the oppressor to notice that we are currently being oppressed.

I am sorry to burst your bubble, but you cannot own a yacht at Monaco. You cannot buy your way into an elite club built on centuries of generational wealth, taste, and social capital that you do not have. While you are busy cosplaying wealth, the real elites are laughing at the game they designed to keep you out.

When we finish dreaming about yachts we will never own, perhaps we will focus on the real work kicking the corrupt powers out of office. Then, and only then, we can collectively face our traffic, fix our dilapidated healthcare system, and end our suffering. It won't be easy, but it is the only path forward. If you finish dreaming go mold hot eba & rescue our missing kids😭.

Nigerians and the Cosplay of Elitism 😂

I doubt some of you even know what or who elites truly are. Elites who run this world are not Instagram influencers with rented cars. They are the Rothschilds, Elon Musk, the Bezos. In Nigeria, they are the Otedolas, Dantatas, Dangotes, Okoyas, Ojukwus, The Ibiams, the Nzeribes. Generational wealth. Political dynasties. Names that open doors without a knock.

Elite is not by having "Ike Billion Billion" 😂. It is not by owning a Rolls Royce. It is not by spraying money at a party. That is not elitism. That is consumerism with a loudspeaker.

The middle class in Nigeria is especially guilty. They like cosplaying elitism. This is one of the reasons we are so classist. A lot of rich Nigerians are not elites but consumerists of whatever the actual elites defines as taste.

Relax. You have money. That does not make you elite. Money can buy a car, but it cannot buy taste. Money can buy a house, but it cannot buy social habitus. The way you speak, the way you eat, the way you move in a room, the connections you have, the schools you attended, the networks you belong to. That is what separates the elite from the merely rich.

The elites do not want you in their circle. They keep you out. It is not personal. It is structural. You cannot buy your way into their world because their world runs on currency you cannot purchase. Social capital. Cultural capital. Generational knowledge of how to belong. Stop spending money you do not have to impress people who will never accept you. You cannot become an elite by cosplaying one.

The kind of poverty affecting Nigerians is a very different kind of poverty

Poor in the pocket and poor in the mind . Worse combination to ever exist

There are guys on those yachts whose net worths aren’t public 😭

They are bigger menaces to society than Elon

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

Monaco is putting you under pressure ke. Better go and look for dinner to eat.

Monaco is expensive for most people regardless of your location or passport. It is okay to dream big but be reasonable and stop getting pressured by the lifestyle of the 1%.

You never buy car, you want buy yacht for Monaco

[Lit! @JusttLit]

Many of you Nigerians are so ridiculous. Sending your account numbers to terrorists because they are doing giveaway. You have zero shame and even fear. Blood money and you’re scrambling for your share. Embarrassing.

[Ugonna Okeke @Victorokeke_]

The kind of intellectually subdued and socially trite conversations we engage in Nigeria tells a lot about our country's future trajectory.

[Last B 🌼🌸 @Ony1nyechi]

Islamic terrorists are killing our soldiers like chicken but their superiors are quiet because they can’t talk with a mouth full of corn.

It was obvious.

How is the most misunderstood scene..?

[ADA @Uc_heyy02]

One of the most misunderstood scenes in Game of Thrones is Sam curing Jorah’s greyscale.

It looked like Sam discovered some secret cure that the maesters were too ignorant to find.
That’s not what happened.

The maesters already knew about the treatment.
In fact, Sam only learned about it because it was recorded in their own library.

The reason they didn’t use it was because it was considered far too dangerous.
The procedure had a high chance of killing the patient, and an equally terrifying chance of infecting the person performing it.
That’s why Sam carried it out in secret, at night, and made Jorah stay silent.

What looked like a miracle cure was actually a desperate gamble that most maesters considered too risky to attempt

It’s one of those details that completely changes the scene.
Sam wasn’t smarter than the Citadel.
He was just willing to do something the Citadel wouldn’t

Have you spent half of your life taking care of a disabled person? Of course not. Talk is cheap.

[Ayo @Alhajirostova]

after 9/11, the U.S. became extremely sensitive to anything connected to terrorism. if you've seen enough courtroom or legal shows,you'll know that once "national security" enters the picture, almost everything else takes a back seat.

that's why it's always surprising to see how casually we treat these things in Nigeria. in many countries, someone with this level of access to or familiarity with armed groups would have spent years under intense scrutiny or even in prison
