We have officially started the bootcamp today in Enugu. 40 engineers are participating.
These children are going to learn how to make drones from scratch to help tackle security challenges and also speed up hospital medication delivery.
They will also learn hardcore Robotics and AI, Automechanics, Bricklaying, Welding, and Electricals.
This will be the beginning of a new direction for education in the South East.
We are raising real problem solvers with real skills, not a theory-based generation without skills.
The future is exciting!
The most insidious form of mind control is when people manage to colonise the very meaning of words. Words are what humans use to describe and interpret reality, so whoever controls the use of words controls how humans perceive reality.
So you hear "Democracy" and ypu instantly think "USA", or you hear "Dictatorship" and you instantly think "China". Meanwhile what is the dictionary definition of the word "democracy"? Government of the people, for the people, by the people.
Is the US government a government "of" the people? No, it's actually a government of a small group of rich white men who control absolutely everything from abortion law to music record labels. They fund and control a political doupoly where nothing changes as power passes back and forth between both parties, except some peripheral culture war bullshit. The will of "the people" is not meaningfully represented and they have no actual say in how they are governed because the extent of their involvement in the system is to vote for either the blue or the red branch of the same system owned by Peter ThielMuskWinklevossGatesEllisonEpsteinvonWhiteManberg.
Is it a government "for" the people? Fuck no, even Americans will tell you that. The purpose of the US government is to help rich white people become richer at the expense of everybody else including poor white people. There is literally a court decision (Citizens United) which gives unrestricted power to US corporations over US electoral compaigns. Meanwhile, the US has the world's largest population of imprisoned people (most of whom are used as slave labour because prisons naturally, are part of their economic system), as well as a shocking prevalence of homelessness for a supposedly wealthy country.
Is it a government "by" the people? Not even close. Americans know as little about their government and the things it does as people who have never been there. No American ever voted for their government to fund terrorists in your country halfway around the world, or create and arm drug cartels in your country that can't locate on a map, or fund colour revolutions and regime change operations in your country on the other side of the planet whose name they can't pronounce. Yet their government does all these things and more, because they have no real involvement in or visibility over how it works.
But that is a "Democracy". And not just any democracy - THE "democracy".
Yet China, where citizens understand exactly how their government operates; where the process of entering government is entirely transparent, accessible and obvious to everyone with no hidden infrastructure or secret societies controlling anything behind the scenes; where the state exists entirely to serve the Chinese people and make their lives better instead of getting embroiled in multiple foreign wars and genocidal adventurism; where 96% of Chinese households own their own home; where the state has been able to build the world's only national bullet train network - that is the nation that is apparently "not democratic."
Using the dictionary definition of "Democracy", China is in fact a "Democracy" and the US runs a feudalist system of governance.
But when you colonise the dictionary and dominate what people take into their brains everyday for several decades, this entirely factual tweet becomes "controversial".
That is literally mind control.
So, instead of reducing crippling interest rates to allow small businesses access to affordable loans, building state-backed manufacturing factories, and creating real jobs to absorb the millions of unemployed youth in the country, the Tinubu Administration is brilliantly proposing to teach us how to trade the stock market as the ultimate path to individual success, wealth, and national prosperity.
Of course, this is a spectacular macroeconomic idea and I fully, enthusiastically support it. I truly believe that if this groundbreaking policy is fully implemented, Nigeria will proudly become the first nation in human history to day-trade, chart-read, and speculate its way to industrial prosperity.
The only small, tiny question we have for President Tinubu is this: how exactly do we start trading? We urgently need trading capital, and official statistics clearly show that over 133 million of us right here in Nigeria are currently living in severe, multidimensional poverty. To make this day-trading revolution work, the government must provide every citizen with a start-up capital package. This package should conveniently cover money for TradingView Premium plans, high-speed fiber internet subscriptions, paid mentorship courses, proprietary charting indicators, technical analysis books, and advanced risk-management software.
Once all of these basic software costs are fully covered, we will still desperately need high-performance laptops and smartphones. And since professional traders must always be online to catch market trends, track candlestick patterns, and execute stop-losses, the Tinubu Administration should endeavor to either guarantee us 24/7 continuous electricity supply, or at least construct a massive, state-of-the-art solar-powered charging station in each of the 774 Local Government Areas in Nigeria.
Furthermore, since we are all starving, exhausted, and suffering thanks to the record inflation caused by high interest rates, tax hikes, and subsidy removals, these 774 trading stations should all come fully equipped with a government-funded cafeteria to serve us three free hot meals daily, ensuring we have enough physical strength, cognitive focus, and mental stamina to stare at candlestick charts all day.
Finally, since retail stock trading is a notoriously high-risk, speculative gamble with an over 90 percent failure rate, the Tinubu Administration should make sure to keep extra trillions of dollars in reserve. This massive national fund will be used by 133 million of us to constantly top up and replenish our trading accounts whenever our positions inevitably get ruthlessly liquidated by powerful, institutional Wall Street trading firms like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and BlackRock.

STOP THIS NONSENSE NARRATIVE.
I speak for Africa when I say THIS IS MISLEADING, and it misrepresents where the real crime and AI abuse is happening in the world today.
If you genuinely want to talk about cybercrime, or AI being used for crime, Africa should not be anywhere near the center of that picture.
Start with AI itself. The top countries in AI adoption globally are the UAE, Singapore, China, India, and the USA. Even South Africa, sits around 21 to 23% adoption, while the UAE is above 70%. We are not even in the top 3 users of this technology, so how does Africa become the poster child for AI-driven crime.
Add the infrastructure gap. Large parts of Africa still doesn't have reliable banking rails, card penetration, or digital payment systems mature enough to run large-scale, automated fraud at the level a "55% AI-enabled" statistic implies. You need infrastructure to commit crime at scale. Africa is still building that infrastructure for legitimate commerce.
Now read the actual INTERPOL report closely, because it undercuts its own headline.
South Africa alone accounts for 92% of every ransomware detection and 70% of every BEC detection cited in the report. Add Nigeria and two countries explain almost the entire "African" story. The other 50-plus nations on this continent barely register. That is not a continental crisis. That is two data points wearing a continent's name.
The 55% AI figure everyone is running with is not a measurement. It comes from a survey asking police officers if they had "occasionally" or "frequently" seen AI show up in a case. That is a perception poll of 36 self-selected countries, not a forensic count of anything.
The report itself admits 89% of respondents said underreporting is a serious problem, with no formal reporting systems and no forensic capacity in many countries. So the data is being driven by whoever has the infrastructure to detect and report, which is exactly the two countries carrying the whole statistic.
The entire assessment is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and built on data from Fortinet, Mastercard, Shadowserver, and other Western firms. Africa is the subject of this report. Africa did not write it.
Now look at scale. Total reported cybercrime losses across the whole continent in 2025: $484 million. INTERPOL's four biggest cross-border enforcement operations in Africa, spanning nearly 20 countries each, recovered a combined total of about $100 million.
Meanwhile the US alone reported $16.6 billion in cybercrime losses in 2024, and global ransomware payments hit $820 million in 2025 with a median payment of over $800,000 per incident, overwhelmingly from US, European, and Asian targets.
Africa's entire continent-wide total doesn't outpace what a single ransomware crew pulls from a handful of Western companies in one year.
Global cybercrime damage is projected at over $10 trillion for 2025 and 2026 combined. If cybercrime were a national economy, it would rank third in the world, behind only the US and China. Africa's entire reported total barely registers against that number.
So ask yourself why a 55% figure out of Africa's much smaller crime base gets a headline, while the actual centers of AI-driven fraud, the US, China, and the scam compounds of Southeast Asia generating close to $40 billion a year according to the UN, don't get the same "linked to over half" framing. That is not analysis. That is a choice of headline.
Then look at how INTERPOL illustrates its own stories. For Operation Sentinel, they used real, captioned photos of the actual arrests in Benin and Ghana. Actual African officers, actual African suspects, actual African raids. They had the real images and they used them.
But the article headlined "African authorities dismantle massive cybercrime and fraud networks, recover millions" runs a header image of handcuffed men whose appearance is not African.
If African authorities did the work, why illustrate Africa's own success story with a stock photo of people who aren't African? You don't reach for a generic photo when you have the real one, unless no one thought it mattered what image ran under Africa's name.
So ask who benefits from a headline that says "AI linked to more than half of cybercrime in Africa," built on a survey, funded by a foreign government office, driven by two countries' data, and illustrated with photos that don't even match the story.
International bodies need to stop using Africa as a scapegoat because it's convenient. It is easier to point at the continent with the least power to push back than to look honestly at where the money, the AI, and the crime actually are.
Every time this happens, it costs credibility. Not ours. Theirs.
STOP THIS.
Dear men, our grandmother already had this list.
Science just caught up.
Sperm count: Orógbó (bitter kola) raises testosterone, backed by a 2019 African J. of Urology study.
Erection: Atalẹ̀ (ginger) + honey boosts nitric oxide, same pathway as Viagra, no prescription.
Kidneys: Ewédú water flushes uric acid, ancestral dialysis.
Liver: Ewúro (bitter leaf) hepatoprotective, used in traditionally for jaundice.
Skin: Ataare (alligator pepper) antioxidant, chews the free radicals your serum can't reach.
Your ancestors weren't guessing. They were peer-reviewing with their lives.
Repost so the next man knows his roots before his doctor tells him.

President Tinubu told hungry Nigerians to go to their pastors for food, then sent pastors bags of rice to share. One Catholic priest rejected his branded “Renewed Hope” rice, calling it irresponsible. How many bags of rice does it take to feed a nation?
Everything is super important. Until you are sick. Then you realize there was only one thing that was important. Your HEALTH.
Never joke with your health.
I believe Nigeria should seriously consider restoring fuel subsidy in a way that brings petrol back to around ₦100 per litre or as close as fiscally possible.
If a policy leaves millions of families unable to afford food, transport, healthcare, or keep their businesses alive, then it’s time to re-examine it.
Economic models mean little to a parent who can’t feed their children or a business owner shutting down because operating costs have become unbearable.
Policies should be judged not only by theory, but by how people actually live.
Leadership must be courageous enough to admit when a policy is causing widespread suffering and be willing to change course.

Israel-Based Covert Team Worked On Nigeria’s 2015 Presidential Election
The 2015 Nigerian presidential election was a battleground for Western disinformation industry.
This investigation by Manisha Ganguly shows how a covert, Israel-based team—known as ‘Team Jorge’—was actively working to manipulate the outcome behind the scenes.
Using a sophisticated arsenal of over 30,000 automated bots, they orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to distort reality and influence voters.
This is another reminder that Africa is in an information war and we must interrogate every narrative especially when it's coming from the West.
The most useful political statement I have ever read was this simple quote from Chairman Mao: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun".
Everything else is just a series of fantasies and illusions that people sell themselves so they can sleep well at night. Whatever style of government you pretend to have, it is always underwritten by men with guns, and its stability always ultimately comes down to what the men with guns choose to do.
Your "democracy" is a children's fairy tale you tell yourself to make the world more palatable - it is men with guns that enforce and implement decisions, and it is men with guns that will escort you into a police car, a courtroom or a prison if you choose not to obey whatever instruction you have received.
Your "theocracy" is a lie because God has no power to make you do anything without the men with guns making you carry out his will. Mecca and Jerusalem are the 2 allegedly holiest in the world, and they're both filled with men with guns, purportedly carrying out the will of God.
Every type of human society is held together by men with guns. A good society is one where the interests of the men with guns align with those of the people without guns, and a bad society is one where the men with guns live parasitically off the people without guns.
ALL societies are dictatorships of men who control the guns. Some just include a whole lot of extra steps to obfuscate that basic fact. I personally prefer the societies where the men with the guns do not hide their control and their interests align with those who do not have guns.
Growing up is realising that "democracy" is like Santa Claus. It's a story told for 5 year-olds to feel involved in the world's decision making. You didn't put Tinubu, Trump or Macron in power with your "vote" you fucking peasant.
Minister David Umahi leaves behind a trail of unexplained deaths, missing people, and misused public funds. A 26-year-old lady died inside his private residence, and he brushed it off. Five engineers vanished on a road project when he was governor of Ebonyi, and no one was ever held responsible. Meanwhile, federal roads are crumbling, but Umahi focused on renaming the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway after President Tinubu. This is a pattern of power without accountability, where public money is treated as personal property and human lives are treated as if they do not matter.
One thing that deeply worries me about Nigeria is this:
Some dreams are almost impossible to achieve if you're born, raised, and educated here.
Want to become an astronaut? There is virtually no pathway.
Want to become a world-class professional footballer? For most talented children, the route is far harder than it should be because the development ecosystem is weak.
And there are many other careers where your biggest obstacle isn't your talent, it's your geography.
This is why some Nigerians have to leave the country, not because they hate Nigeria, but because that's the only way to fully pursue their dreams.
That should concern all of us.
A child's future should be determined by their ability and hard work, not by the accident of where they were born.
Nigeria has no shortage of talent.
What we're missing is a system that allows talent to become greatness.
Sarkodie - Ibrahim Traore (Song Breakdown)
Mainstream African artistes typically avoid mentioning sensitive political themes or names in their music for fear of rocking the boat in the politically-exposed entertainment industry.
Ghanaian hip-hop superstar Sarkodie is not one of them. His latest single titled 'Ibrahim Traore' directly takes aim at the attempted imperialist targeting of Burkina Faso's revolutionary president, urging Africans to close ranks around Traore and protect the nascent political revolution in the AES.
For The Spearhead, @Big_Mck, who has been active in the entertainment industry reviews the new single and gives his informed verdict.
We captured this beautiful moment of Chimdiebube Onwubiko arriving in Enugu yesterday to a hero's welcome.
He won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome.
I love seeing education reclaim its rightful place in our society.
This is just the beginning of something great.
The rain came, and Lagos drowned. But it was not climate change that did this; it was the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. The road blocked the water's path to the sea, forcing it back into the homes of ordinary Nigerians. Foreign banks like Deutsche Bank and First Abu Dhabi funded this project and will collect tolls for two decades, no matter how many communities are destroyed. The road is rising. The water is rising, the people are drowning, and the foreign profit is the only thing standing tall.
