Fela was way ahead of his time. He was a seasoned artist who understood that music is political and used it to speak the truth of Pan-Africanism. Today's retards of artists who only care about lining their pockets with dollars could never lace his shoes.

They removed Maduro and put a puppet in charge.
When Venezuela collapses in 15 years and citizens ask what went wrong, the retarded Latinos, like the fools we have here, Pan Dummyists will point at everyone except the imperialists who engineered the whole scheme.

[Moussa Ibrahim @_moussa_ibrahim]

Imagine the arrogance of empire required to stand at the United Nations and publicly contemplate the annihilation of another sovereign nation.

Not in a secret war room. Not behind closed doors. From the podium supposedly dedicated to peace and international law.

This is imperialism without the diplomatic mask.

Washington reserves for itself the right to bomb, sanction, threaten and decide which nations are permitted a future, while demanding that the rest of humanity respect its “rules based order.”

The problem is no longer the hypocrisy. The problem is a world system in which one power believes it has the right to decide who may live in peace and who may be driven into hell.

If Russia did not have nuclear weapons, America would have gone in to steal their oil like Venezuela.

All nations should have nuclear weapons to protect itself against America the tyrant

A dunderhead somewhere in Kinshasa or Ikeja thinks the USA cares about them? 🤡

[Mayowa Durosinmi @mayowadurosinm1]

This is former CIA Director James Woolsey openly admitting that the US, to this day, meddles in other countries' elections.

He said this during a 2018 interview on Fox News' program The Ingraham Angle, hosted by Laura Ingraham.

[Vox Populi @OgbeniBlackbear]

Meanwhile per WikiLeaks majority of the destablisation in Nigeria was Nigerian politicians volunteering information to show how much influence they had and doing favours for the US in exchange for small things like referral to university for their children or green cards

[Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai]

Iran is following the US play-book to thank Washington for its creative ideas: you take out ships, we take yours. You sell ours, we sell yours.

Nigerian retards will ask
Is it See Hai Hay that’s making your country not develop????

[Nnamdi Obi @nnamdiobiii]

This is why I keep screaming that we should be quick in our journey to sovereignty.

These people in Europe are heartless to the core. Now imagine it was Nigeria they blocked off SWIFT

What leverage do we have?
How will we fight back

Again we need to sit down and say to ourselves, how do we prepare for the worst case scenario.

If we ever attempt to remove foreign powers, they will do this and worse

They will attempt to cut us off their servers and networks

Nigeria wake up ooo
Africa wake up

We need to start building quickly.

[Lateef 🙃 @LateefSaka]

Beyond the earthquake, Venezuela tried to get the gold during Covid by filling a legal claim against the Bank of England explaining that the country would struggle to manage the spread of coronavirus. This was supported by a number of organisations including the UN who suggested a partial release of funds, and the U.K. declined. Do not let these people lecture you on ethics and morality when they show you who they are every single day.

In 1976, Nigerian journalist Sam Ogun confessed to DRUM that he had spent nearly 10 years spying on Nigeria for the CIA. He also warned that many other Nigerians were being recruited to infiltrate different sectors of the country.

He told the magazine, "The CIA has so many arms or branches — trade union organisations, educational institutions, cultural organisations. The CIA is the father and through these organisations which are sent to Africa to help developing countries. The agents or officers of these organisations use their organisations as covers to spy for the CIA."

Ogun said Nigerians could be recruited without knowing it, benefiting directly or indirectly from development programmes run by organisations he claimed were linked to foreign intelligence networks.

"You don't apply to be an agent or spy. You are spotted, trailed, and an assessment is made of you without your knowing," he said.

His own career as a spy began in the early 1960s, when he worked as an "information officer" for the American Motion Picture Export Company. An American film distributor known as Jack paid him to write reviews of foreign films for local newspapers, which were then forwarded to New York. Ogun said that was how he was first placed on a payroll.

He later confessed to spying on foreign diplomats, trade unionists, civil servants, students and fellow journalists. He said he was trained to use a camera and a pocket-sized tape recorder designed for espionage.

Ogun eventually retired from spying and explained his decision to confess: "I found out by myself the evil the CIA had been doing to Africa."

Very quick recap for those who need the context:

America took about 200 soldiers and plenty helicopters and invaded Venezuela in the dead of the night.

Killed a bunch of people, ND kidnapped their president and his wife.

Now, they're in charge of another country's oil reserves and stuff (the biggest in the world, by the way).

And like the proper heist that it is, they're moving yet another (yes, you heard it right — dem don move some before) batch of Venezuela's gold reserves from the bank where the owners kept it to America!

That's how the good guys roll, shebi? After all, that's how it happens in movies na🤣

American elite soldiers jump down from helicopters and kidnap-rescue a sitting president and his wife and take him away in chains. No be so?

If you're waiting for the part where the people of Venezuela are saved from the fictitious Boogeyman by America — that part never happens.

Because this is not a Hollywood movie and the US is the Boogeyman.

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

Imagine the Nigerian government banning Arise News, AIT and News Central from Aso Rock, triggering other outlets to withdraw in solidarity, and going on to launch “Tinubu TV” and announce it via the official state house handle.

First, the United States will designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, accusing it of stifling free press and exploring the option of kidnapping its president to save the world of a anti-free speech dictator.

Nigerians will then react by calling their country’s government undemocratic and holding up Amerikka for it to emulate. “This cannot happen in saner climes”

Well, it’s really happening right in front of you, and I'm really glad that Trump is embarrassing you African supporters of the West who do not think you can build your own future without Western approval.

[Reza Nasri @RezaNasri1]

Anyone who refuels them, services them or sells a ticket for them, @SecScottBessent warns, "will be knocked out of the dollar system."

Look at who actually sits on these planes. Students returning to universities abroad. Workers flying home to their families. Grandparents going to meet grandchildren born in another country. Patients travelling for treatment. A son trying to reach his dying mother before it is too late.

And medicine. Much of what keeps Iranian patients alive arrives by air: chemotherapy drugs, clotting factor for haemophiliacs, insulin, biologics for MS and rare diseases, vaccines. These are cold-chain medicines that cannot sit for weeks in a ship's hold. After years of sanctions choking formal supply lines, many Iranian families abroad carry them home in their luggage. Ground the airlines and you ground that lifeline too.

This is the collective punishment of a civilian population.

But sanctions only mean something where there is compliance. Every airport that refuses fuel to an Iranian aircraft, every agent who stops selling its tickets, becomes an instrument of that punishment. Each one tells Washington that its coercion has no limit and that even civilian aviation is fair game. In 1988 the USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 655, killing all 290 people on board, 66 of them children. The logic that brought down a civilian airliner with a missile now seeks to ground an entire civilian fleet by decree.

Those who comply should understand what they are legitimising. The precedent will not stay Iranian. Once cutting a people off from the sky becomes a routine tool of economic war, no nation's airline and no nation's citizens are safe from it.

If the price of refusal is exclusion from the dollar system, the answer is collective refusal. The dollar has become toxic. The only way out is to leave the United States alone with its dollar.

Appeasement does not tame a bully. It only emboldens him.

[حسین @Hussssayn]

Regardless of what you think of Iran, ask yourself, should the United States have this much power over another nation using its economic dominance as a weapon when the consequences are borne by ordinary civilians?

My opposition to the US and my support for counterhegemonic forces and de-dollarisation, stems precisely from this, no single state should possess this degree of economic leverage over the rest of the world.

[Onyeka ☭ @R_eq_uin]

Nigeria needs a Mao type figure to go after our internal compradors and "elites". Or at least a Putin.

Because there are families in Nigeria that illegally hoard huge chunks of our wealth.

These oligarchies are everywhere.

In the civil service embezzling trillions in government funds meant for everything from hospitals to roads to schools.

They are in the key offices of every industry that pulls a resource out of the ground. Oil and gas. Solid minerals. Nuclear minerals.

They are in the armed forces as sabotuers

They are in the media and make fortunes off manipulating the Nigerian people for their own interests and the interests of their foreign masters/partners

They are in every arm of government. The corrupt judges selling political judgements for billions of naira a pop. The corrupt senators driving the latest Escalades and G-wagons while their constituents languish in poverty, misery and insecurity.

These compradors are in the most influential churches and mosques, manipulating their hapless followers into either being docile, or to actively work against their followers own collective interests.

They are like rats nibbling at the Nigerian people and they must be destroyed.

Their political influence must be snuffed out forever.

Their armed militia destroyed.

Their illicit wealth and assets must be seized by the state and redistributed to the Nigerian people.

Without this, you can have 10 Peter Obis in succession and it won't change a damn thing long term because you'd be using morphine for cancer.

Sure you may not feel pain, but you're still dying inside.

At the end of the day, the Nigerian state must retain full control of all the levers of state and wield those levers to advance the interests of the Nigerian people.

One small point: I'm not against billionaires or even capitalists.

If you have a bright idea, I'm a huge fan of using it to make all the money you possibly and legally can.

I don't mind billionaires.

Where I have a problem is when these said billionaires seek to use their economic and social leverage to influence political outcomes in their interests, at the expense of collective Nigerian society.

[Auggie The Serenading Psychic (🚰❤️‍🔥♣️) @CryptoMuse01]

Your post is a buffet of logical fallacies — from straw man to false equivalence, and everything in between.

1. False Equivalence

You equate village witchcraft — which you qualify as non-existent — to documented foreign intelligence operations.

The CIA, MI6, and Western foreign policy subversion in Africa are matters of declassified historical record — from the assassination of Patrice Lumumba to the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah. Attempting to equate real global power dynamics to 'non-existent' witchcraft is premium gaslighting.

2. Straw Man

You have invented a caricatured version of David's work (and the work of others who highlight these issues), presenting them as lazy people who do nothing with their lives but blame the CIA.

The truth, ironically, is that these geopolitical realities are analyzed by some of the brightest minds on the continent and beyond — scholars, professionals, and creators who are actively contributing value to society.

3. False Dilemma

You impose a terrible shackle on the necks of your readers by pushing the narrative that Africans can either take personal responsibility or critique global geopolitics, but never both.

On the contrary, we can work and watch like Nehemiah’s men. We can educate ourselves on geopolitical, economic, and historical realities while simultaneously taking a stand to better our localities.

4. Ad Hominem

You provide no data or documents to disprove any specific information or claims made by David Hundeyin and others.

Instead, you resort to character assassination and making disparaging remarks about people's mental health. Your piece reads like a panicked diversion from the actual matters raised.

Next time, bring facts, names, and documents instead of emotional manipulation and gaslighting.
