This tweet accidentally explains one of the deepest problems with Nigerian education.

We have confused early literacy with early intelligence.

A 5 year old kid reading and writing before everyone isn’t impressive. Childhood development is not a race to finish the ABC. Those early years should be about building curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, communication and independent thinking.

Let them build things. Draw nonsense. Play games. Solve puzzles. Ask annoying questions. Learn to disagree and explain why.

Then reading, writing and maths become tools for a mind that has already started learning how to THINK.

And Twitter is probably the funniest evidence of what happens when we get this backwards 😂

Every day you meet people here who can read and write beautifully. Big grammar sef.

But comprehension? Omo.

You write A. They read B. They argue passionately against C. Then 4,000 people retweet aggressively 😭

That is the tragedy.

Literacy is not the same thing as education. Being able to read is useless if you were never taught how to think.

Look closely at any effective institution humanity has ever constructed. None of them shackle themselves with democracy.

The family unit, formal education, a corporation, a military — none of these use democratic ideals to produce results.

Nobody serious raises a family with "democratic ideals." No father asks his children to vote on whether they want to stop watching cartoons to do their homework.

We all know what the answer will be almost 100% of the time.

These institutions rely on a chain of command, clear hierarchy, and absolute discipline.

The truth we have been trained to ignore is that democracy is a citizen management scheme. It is an internal safety valve designed to defuse societal tension by dividing the people into warring factions, turning real-life survival decisions into a winner-takes-all game.

By giving the population a superficial form of power — the polls, the ballot —while concentrating the actual mechanics for structural change in the hands of a permanent elite at the top, democracy manufactures systemic stagnation. This stagnation is most obvious in poor countries with weak institutions.

Democracy engenders a baseline where the best mobilization routinely wins over the best ideas.

History reveals an unassailable reality: No nation, past or present, built its foundational wealth under a democracy.Democracy is not a luxury Africa can afford. It is a shackle the elite impose to limit the power of the polity.

If sustainable development in Africa is the round hole, democracy is forever the square peg: they will never fit each other.

The actual blueprint for national development requires intense centralization, national command, and structural discipline.

In my next post, I will display the raw data showing exactly how the nations that pride themselves as "pillars of democracy" today — the countries whose wealth you envy — actually acquired their wealth.

[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.

Afrobeats And Its Links To US Secret Intelligence

Have you ever found yourself wondering why Afrobeats - the joyful soundtrack to the "Africa Rising" era from the late 2000s through the early 2010s - seems to have lost much of its energy and lustre of recent? Does it seem to you like the music no longer belongs to the fans and has become a distant, expensive product that nobody can relate with anymore?

You are not imagining it - in fact the reality of what has happened to Afrobeats is a lot darker than you would possibly imagine. Far from just a fresh music genre that embodied the sounds and aspirations of a new generation across the continent, it has been coopted into the arsenal of the US government's extensive foreign influence and interference tools. In fact, your favourite Afrobeats artist, as incredible as it sounds, most likely now has a handler permanently assigned to them by the US State Department.

In this special report, The Spearhead Senior Reporter Mckay Chukwu examines a story that has been hiding in plain sight for years, detailing the State Department's well-funded cultural interference infrastructure which has been deployed all over the Global South to bend entire populations and their governments toward the foreign policy goals of the US government.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

This is how history gets incrementally rewritten because nobody pushes back on narratives like this.

In reality, no generation in Nigeria ever actually "listened" to Fela. At NO point was he ever embraced by Nigeria's western-educated classes. He was always an outsider and a rebel that they treated with suspicion or outright hostility. Even the wealthy or educated who liked him had to literally hide to do so. His music was (and to the best of my knowledge still is!) banned from radio nationwide, and it eventually got to the point where he made less money in Nigeria - his primary audience - than outside it.

I grew up on a street where a few houses away was Air Vice Marshall Funsho Martins, across the street was Governor Ita Ikpeme, around the corner was Fidelity Bank MD Reginald Ihejiahi, and so on. These were the people I would often overhear having conversations with my dad, and to them, Fela was an "amugbo boy" (weed smoking loser) and community penis who used the guise of African pride to cover for his lack of personal discipline. They had no respect for what he stood for, and I personally was not allowed to listen to Fela's music while I lived under my parents' roof.

Fela was never loved by the people who were politically aware or active in Nigeria. The only people who wholeheartedly embraced Fela were the poorest and most powerless. And even at that, they lacked the education to fully understand his message beyond simple complaint and criticism of the Nigerian government. All his words about colonialism and imperialism flew completely over their heads. It was like explaining the International Space Station to someone who has never seen an internal combustion engine before.

I hate the narrative that Nigeria ever truly embraced Fela or his message because that is a laundering device for Nigerians to avoid asking themselves what on earth was so important about that message that a military government invaded his house, raped his wives and killed his mom, while the global "human rights" yappers provided cover for that government and never sanctioned them for it.

Saying that there was a generation that "listened to Fela" is an easy and disingenuous way of dismissing Fela's work and refusing to examine what made it so important that we're still talking about him nearly 3 decades after he died.

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

Music shapes entire generations, and they don't even have to be aware while it's happening.

It's like Mohbad (Imole) said: "Music no need permission to enter your spirit. Anyhow anywhere you must to feel it."

Look at the impact of Olu Maintain’s "Yahooze" in 2007. It served as a massive cultural catalyst for the "Yahoo-Yahoo" epidemic we see today.

If a single song can shift the youth's moral ideology so drastically, imagine the geopolitical threat of a global icon doing the exact opposite.

That was Bob Marley. His reggae was the psychological spine of anti-colonial revolutions worldwide.

He sang "Rasta don't work for no CIA" because he knew his art directly threatened Western hegemony (aka Babylon 🤣🤣)— which is precisely why knowledgeable insiders link the CIA to his 1976 assassination attempt.

Look at Fela Kuti. His Afrobeat was an outright declaration of war against neo-colonial puppets. To silence him, the local military government subjected him to over 200 arrests, burned his Kalakuta Republic to the ground, and murdered his mother. If a Nigerian regime used that level of raw military terrorism just to contain one man in Lagos, how hard do you think the global imperial apparatus will clamp down when an artist stands in the way of their entire global agenda?

This brings us to the ultimate end game: Geopolitics and demographic management.

By 2050, Africa will hold the fastest-growing youth population on earth. Nearly 1 out of every 4 people in the world will be African, and 1 out of 6 African will be Nigerian, with 1 out of every 25 random human on earth being Nigerian.

In the cold calculus of Western intelligence, a hyper-conscious, politically literate African youth population is an existential risk to Western hegemony and resource control.

More importantly, you must know that the mortal fear of the West is that if they fell out of power, others would do to them what they've done around the world for centuries.

So they figure that if a demographic giant wakes up to the frequency of Felas and Marleys, they will become completely ungovernable.

So how do you control a population that massive without deploying armies? You do it through the algorithm. You fund and amplify a modern, sanitized music industry that rewards escapism, hyper-individualism, and material wealth over consciousness.

By filtering out the revolutionary spark, the global imperial apparatus achieves ultimate containment and neutralization. They don't need to assassinate the prophets anymore ("how long shall they kill our prophets...?"); they just use music and entertainment to turn a potential revolutionary generation into completely redolent, bio-pliable 'fauna'.

[Abolaji Rasaq Oluwapese @bolazeal]

THERE IS A GAME INSIDE THE GAME

Nigerians are funny people.

Tell them entertainment can be used to influence society, and they will laugh and say, “Abeg, na music.”

Tell them films can shape political thinking, they will say, “Na film, relax.”

Tell them foreign powers can use culture to influence a country, they will call you a conspiracy theorist.

Meanwhile, the same Nigerians will buy a shoe because Rihanna wore it, copy American slang, human hair, relationships, fashion, politics and even mannerisms.

But somehow, the media does not influence them. Osisko!

I have worked in entertainment for years. So I know one thing very clearly:

Entertainment is never just entertainment.

America knows this very well.

The United States openly uses what it calls cultural diplomacy. Music, film, journalism, scholarships, fellowships, festivals and creative-industry programmes are all part of how countries build influence abroad.

Even the U.S. State Department has programmes specifically using film and music to advance American foreign-policy objectives.

So this thing is not hidden.

Na we dey pretend not to understand.

And it goes beyond Hollywood.

Some Nigerian filmmakers attend American-funded programmes.

Some Nigerian journalists and news organisations receive grants, fellowships or institutional support from American organisations.

Some Nigerian music executives and creatives are brought into American mentorship and industry programmes.

Some Nigerian record labels and entertainment companies have received foreign investment or entered partnerships with major American companies.

Does that automatically mean they are CIA agents?

Of course not.

But does money, access, training, distribution and international recognition create influence?

Use your tongue to count your teeth.

America doesn't need to enter a Nigerian newsroom and say, “Write this.” Or call an artist and say, “Sing that.”

Modern influence is smarter than that.

Funders decide what they fund.

Platforms decide what they promote.

Festivals decide what they celebrate.

Labels decide who gets an international push.

Streaming platforms decide what appears on your screen.

Algorithms decide what millions of Nigerians repeatedly see.

And repeated exposure eventually becomes culture.

That is the real power of media.

If I can control what your children watch, what your youth dance to, who they admire, what lifestyle they desire, what country they dream of escaping to and what values they consider sophisticated, why exactly do I need to invade your country?

You will colonise yourself.

Voluntarily.

This is why I laugh when people say entertainment is “just entertainment.”

Entertainment is business, culture, propaganda, diplomacy, social engineering and entertainment is soft power.

Sometimes it is all of them at the same time.

The problem is not that America understands this. The problem is that Nigeria does not.

America promotes American interests.

China promotes Chinese interests.

France promotes French interests.

Britain promotes British interests.

Nigeria?

We are still arguing on Twitter about tribes, jollof and Davido vs. Wizkid😂

Meanwhile, our music, films, news, platforms, distribution channels and cultural gateways are increasingly connected to foreign money and foreign institutions.

And we are expected not to ask questions?

Please.

Follow the money.

Follow the ownership.

Follow the distribution.

Follow the platforms.

Follow the grants.

Follow the fellowships.

Follow who controls access.

Then draw your own conclusions.

Because, like I wrote under that angry music executive’s post:

“Well, well. There’s a game inside a game. You might have been played without knowing it.”

And knowing Nigerians, some people will still finish reading this and say:

“Abeg, na just entertainment.”

Exactly. Ptcheewwwww

One day you will know that your American dream is America's dream.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Of course it's possible.

We're talking about the country whose people believe that Muslims did 9/11 because 2 Boeing 757s crashed into twin skyscrapers specifically designed to withstand impact from airliners, and against all laws of physics, the jet fuel fire somehow melted and pulverised 110 floors worth of construction grade steel beams, collapsing the structures into their own footprint - but paper passports belonging to Saudi and Sudanese men who had just finished flight school a few weeks prior somehow survived the inferno.

Because as we all know, it is famously possible to learn basic flying with Piper and Cessna light aircraft, then 5 weeks later you can hijack a 100-seater civil airliner and carry out a complicated flight maneuver with needle-like accuracy through some of the world's most heavily restricted and policed airspace above New York, and NORAD won't scramble fighter jets to shoot you out of the sky because - wait for it - NORAD was carrying out a training simulation at the exact same time for the exact same scenario, and they "didn't realise it was happening for real". (Yes that's the official story!)

Oh, and a 3rd building nearby also spontaneously collapsed into its own footprint afterward for absolutely no reason at all. Maybe the Magic Muslim Pilots gave it emotional distress.

Americans who believed that shit and subsequently queued up to join their military to go murder innocent black and brown poor people on the other side of the world for the next 20 years, will believe absolutely anything.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Nigeria is not Venezuela or Cuba. It is an absurdly wealthy country with over 200 million people, over 1000km of coastline and over 1000km of border shared with the AES. If Hamirikka were to display frontal aggression against Nigeria, it would risk driving Nigeria into the AES, and into the geopolitical orbit of Russia, which would basically mean the US has lost West Africa as we know it.

Not even Trump is that stupid. That's why having a US puppet president in Nigeria is so important to them, and that's why no matter how many strings the lobbyists pull in DC, they are never, ever releasing the Drug Pusher's unredacted files.

We all know what the solution is, but good luck trying to do it via "election" and "Peter Obi"

[Gbenga Aborowa @Gbenga_Aborowa]

I honestly want to know: what have ordinary Nigerians actually gained from our decades-long relationship with the United States?

Beyond diplomatic meetings, security cooperation, aid figures and photo opportunities, what has this relationship tangibly delivered to the average Nigerian?

Where is the prosperity? Where are the jobs? Where is the infrastructure? Where is the improved quality of life?

It is a simple question, but one worth asking: what does Nigeria actually get from this relationship?

This is exactly why the Chinese will continue to deeply appreciate and loudly sing the praises of Mao Zedong. Despite the bloody shortcomings of the Cultural Revolution, he successfully succeeded in the absolute removal of feudal, superstitious and backward cultures from China.

Any culture, tradition, or religion that strictly commands you to see and regard places, objects, people, mythical deities, ancient shrines, or untouchable monarchs as "divine" or worthy of blind worship cannot survive against modern Imperialism. Hence, it must be ruthlessly dismantled, uprooted, and destroyed to build a much more resilient society that foreign powers and local political actors cannot easily hijack to destabilize the state.

This brutal reality is especially true for Nigeria. In the holy name of religion, young boys and men in Northern Nigeria are actively recruited to engage in the wanton destruction of their own communities, public schools, local hospitals, and agricultural farmlands. They engage in this bloody terrorism with a twisted sense of duty, divine privilege, and spiritual arrogance because their foreign-funded Wahhabi-Salafi Islamic scholars have systematically conditioned them to believe that this senseless violence is a noble cause to fight a sinful society, purge Western education, and establish a utopian Islamic caliphate. Of course, there is absolutely no Islamic caliphate to be established, no divine kingdom to be built, and no spiritual reward waiting for them. Everything is purely, violently orchestrated for the unchecked extraction of gold, lithium, uranium, and other mineral wealth buried deep in their communities. But the brainwashed foot soldiers do not recognize this massive corporate theft because their radicalized religion has completely shut down the specific logical regions in their brains that should have naturally assisted them in critical thinking, basic survival, and rational decision-making.

We also witness this exact same tragedy unfold in the Eastern region, where opportunistic local warlords, diaspora agitators, and political profiteers recruit the local population to engage in the wanton destruction of their own state, local businesses and public infrastructure in the name of establishing "Biafra." Here, the primary node of psychological deception is ethnic chauvinism and cultural pride rather than religion. The young boys and unemployed men are aggressively convinced that the Nigerian state is the sole enemy of their tribe, that their identity is tied first and foremost to this secessionist movement, and that this bloody agitation constitutes the ultimate survival of the Igbo race. Now, even though this manufactured fight is primarily a proxy war for the control of crude oil, natural gas, and rare earth minerals buried deep in the seabed and under thick forest canopies in the region, and even though these warlords receive direct covert funding, weapons, and diplomatic cover from foreign governments to engage in this destruction of their own state, the gullible people being recruited do not even bother to conduct basic research. Their blind affinity for their tribe, their emotional attachment to the past, and their toxic cultural pride are so overwhelmingly strong that it completely blocks all forms of logic and reason.

The exact same material analysis holds true for the heavily exploited Niger Delta region as well as the South West region. We have already begun to see dangerous pockets of terrorism and armed thuggery in Osun state, Lagos suburbs, and border towns, alongside a highly suspicious new wave of the Oduduwa Republic movement propping up. Toxic religion and arrogant cultural pride have been carefully, systematically, and deliberately injected into every single community, ward, and local government in Nigeria. The parasitic political class ruthlessly invokes these divisions to their absolute advantage, depending entirely on which specific bias serves their selfish interests with regards to the political climate of that election cycle.

If they desperately need to win votes from their own ethnic base, they immediately engage in loud tribal jingoism, ethnic baiting, and regional fear-mongering. They expertly convince the impoverished masses that a vote for the politician is a sacred vote for the "tribe," and thus the people are easily seduced into thinking the election is a literal battle for the survival, dominance, and glory of their ethnic group. Hence, they foolishly celebrate the electoral victory of a corrupt billionaire politician as a collective win for the tribe, even though there is absolutely zero material evidence, historical precedent, or economic data to support this delusional line of thinking. The brainwashed people predictably end up having no stable electricity, no paved road networks, no clean drinking water, no functional public schools, and absolutely terrible healthcare, while the victorious politicians continue to loot the treasury dry, buy luxury real estate abroad, and fly their entire families to London, Dubai, or Paris for basic medical checkups.

This is not to say that the people do not recognize this scam. They know from bitter, repeated experience that their wealthy tribesmen never actually return to develop the tribe, build local factories, or empower the youth when they win these elections. But the deep-seated cultural and religious programming is so incredibly strong, intoxicating, and blinding that it continuously overwrites, deletes, and completely neutralizes any painful experience, logical deduction, or harsh economic lessons the people might have learned during the miserable four-year period between every election. Like clockwork, they predictably return to the streets to dance around cultural pride, tribal bigotry, and religious sentiments during every single new election cycle.

This psychological vulnerability is precisely one of the core reasons Mao Zedong ruthlessly launched a Cultural Revolution in China: to permanently prevent the minds of the working class from being easily hijacked, manipulated, and weaponized by the domestic political class, wealthy landlords, and foreign imperial interests to work against the survival of their own state. India never had the courage to execute such a radical cultural purge, and today, their massive population continues to be violently divided along the rigid lines of caste, religion, language, and regionalism, which further sets them up for endless political manipulation and corporate exploitation.

For Nigeria to ever truly work, industrialize, and achieve absolute sovereignty, these parasitic feudal systems, tribal loyalties, and deeply ingrained elements of subservience in our traditional cultures must be systematically dismantled in their entirety, uprooted from our psychology, and burned completely to the ground. Only within those purified ashes can we finally erect a brand-new, scientifically grounded philosophical system that is completely resilient to Imperialism, forging a powerful, unbreakable new national identity to permanently unite the entire working class of Nigeria.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I was watching a podcast the other day where the South African host interviewing a Zimbabwean guest found out to his surprise that Zimbabweans also say "futsek/voetsek" as an angry exclamation, like South Africans do. The guest had to remind him him, "We had the same colonisers."

I found it desperately upsetting that these 2 cousins living literally right next door to each other, who both come from the same wider ethnic group have somehow become complete strangers to each other because a 19th century English paedophile called Cecil Rhodes drew an imaginary line in the sand one day and called everything to the north "Rhodesia" and everything to the South "South Africa".

And because of that, Thabo and Tanaka are now strangers to the point where they no longer know even the most basic things about each other anymore. It's like someone came to your house, stole all your shit, kidnapped some of your family members, and trafficked them into slavery, but that wasn't enough. He then built a wall dividing your house into different parts and placed you and your remaining siblings on different sides of the wall so that while you know that your siblings are alive and nearby, you're also never allowed to see or speak to them again.

And then over the decades as you remain confined in this arrangement and you have your own kids, these cousins grow up never having known their cousins on the other side of the wall. It's the sort of unspeakable cruelty that only a European could ever be capable of, and it says something very unflattering about Africans that rather than destroy this wall and expunge it from our consciousness, many of us rather choose to continue being socially engineered by long-dead 19th century European paedophiles, maintaining this completely weird, illogical and bizarre psychological distance from people who are LITERALLY OUR CLOSEST LIVING RELATIVES.

Imagine someone from Burundi being a "foreigner" in Kenya? Or someone from Zimbabwe being "kwerekwere" in what used to be his own ancestral land until a white guy stole it and named it "South Africa".

JFC it's equal parts infuriating and upsetting!

[Mind of the Motherland @UncolonisedMind]

To further add to your point.

There has been so much deliberate distortion of what Pan-Africanism actually means that some Africans now associate it with things that are either secondary to it or have nothing to do with it.

Pan-Africanism is not a slogan. It is our path to survival, liberation and sovereignty as Africans.

Pan-Africanism is not anti-Western. But as an African, you have every right to be anti-West and anti-anything hostile to African interests. Considering what the West has done to Africa historically and continues to do under neocolonialism, Africans have every reason to oppose Western policies until those policies change.

At its core, Pan-Africanism is the political and cultural belief that Africans share a common history, struggle and destiny and therefore must unite to achieve total freedom and self-determination.

That means political, economic, cultural and strategic unity wherever necessary to guarantee African liberty.

It is not unity simply to sing Kumbaya. We unite to free ourselves from the structures that keep us oppressed.

Pan Africanism acknowledges the fact that an individual African nation, acting entirely on its own, is unlikely to achieve complete freedom and self-determination in a world structured around competing centres of power.

Unity does not mean erasing your identity. You can be Nigerian, Ghanaian, Kenyan, Congolese, Senegalese or South African and still understand that some interests require us to act beyond our individual borders.

Pan Africanism pushes that:

We unite economically to create an integrated African market, increase intra-African trade, industrialise, process our own resources and retain the wealth created from Africa’s minerals, oil, agriculture and other resources.

We unite to achieve economic independence by breaking the structural dependency created by foreign aid, international loans and external economic policies that constrain African decision-making.

We unite to build integrated infrastructure, collective security and a political front capable of defending African interests and sovereignty.

Pan-Africanism is not simply Africans saying they love Africa.

It is not Africans complaining about the West.

It is not ignoring science to learn history.

It is not Africans constantly recounting how badly we have been treated.

And it is not simply Africans moving from one African country to another.

This brings me to another distortion, particularly when it comes to migration.

Pan-Africanism supports the free movement of Africans across African borders, but free movement is only one part of a much larger project. It exists alongside economic integration, industrialisation, resource sovereignty, political cooperation and economic liberation.

Africans fleeing from one African country to another because they cannot find decent opportunities at home is not evidence that Pan-Africanism has failed.

It is evidence that Pan-Africanism has not been applied.

Africans are currently not simply moving. They are escaping and fleeing.

If African economies were genuinely integrated, industrialised and economically sovereign, Africans would not primarily be moving because economic desperation had forced them out of their own countries. They could move because Africa had become an integrated space where Africans were free to live, work, trade, invest and build.

You cannot take free movement out of the broader Pan-African project, isolate it from economic liberation, and then use the consequences of our current fragmentation as an argument against Pan-Africanism.

And this is where the victimhood distortion must also be rejected.

Pan-Africanism is not simply about telling Africans how badly they have been treated. Understanding colonialism, imperialism and neocolonialism is necessary m. Understanding the forces that produced Africa’s present condition is not victimhood.
