loneliness can sometimes be the clearest sign that you have a shot at becoming great.

before a man levels up, it can feel like everything he once had is being ripped away from him. his relationships, his friendships, his comfort and even his old identity may disappear.

but loneliness is sometimes the price a man pays for his own evolution.

if you're alone right now, it could be a sign that you're finally climbing to an altitude where mediocrity cannot breathe.

You bring in Expatriates and pay them in USD, give them a car, driver, chef, maid and house in ikoyi

You will employ Nigerians and pay them peanuts for the same role and expect them to have work ethic and not be preoccupied with survival

Get a haircut every 2 weeks to stay sharp, wait 5 secs before answering the phone to control the rhythm, always arrive 15 mins early, stay away from free lunches, never talk about people who aren't in the room, and when anger rises, wait 10 mins before reacting. These habits may look rigid, but they're the hidden discipline of the elite.

Ibrahim Traoré: French Military Advisers Kept Burkinabè Army Dependent Before The Revolution

In this clip taken from the traditional flag raising ceremony at the Koulouba presidential palace in Bamako, Mali in January 2025, Burkina Faso president Captain Ibrahim Traoré reveals that French military "advisors" were central to the deliberately-maintained state of chaos that the Sahel used to suffer.

According to Traoré, when Burkina Faso's military began to record gains in its anti-terrorism campaign following the exclusion of these "advisors", political buttons were pushed to ensure their return, after which the security situation would relapse. This cycle did not end until the 2022 revolution that brought Traoré to power, after which all French military "advisors" were permanently booted out and the security situation finally took a decisive turn for the better.

Actually let me share something a little bit more about rats that will shock you to your bone marrow but it is all true.

Rats are indeed physically and neurologically incapable of vomiting.

The rat brain lacks the wiring to initiate the process, the rat stomach is built in a way that prevents upward flow back, and they lack the muscle strength needed to push out a vomit.

Rats have survived nuclear bombs.
Yup 👍🏽 they have. Read about the Marshall Islands, where USA tested 23 nuclear weapons between 1946 and 1958. Following the massive bombing that destroyed the vegetation, damaged the soil, and even triggered tidal waves, scientists later found out that the local rat population in the Enewetak Atoll (a northern Pacific location) had survived!

Even the Bubonic plague that reportedly killed about 100 million people, it was shocking to see that rats survived it.

A rat can fall from a building 50 feet high and just move on unharmed like nothing happened. A human being may be dead or seriously injured.

Yet as incredible as rat survival skills are, they do not have the capacity to vomit. And that means if they swallow rat poison, they are certain to die. But sometimes even in rat poisons, rats are incredibly smart enough to learn danger in real time and avoid poisoned stuff once they see other rats dying. When you have time, read about the 2013 Parks Canada rat eradication campaign where the authorities dropped lots of poisoned pellets from helicopters across Faraday and Murchison Islands (Haida Gwaii) to eradicate invasive black rats.

This is shocking and insane but true.
May your enemies not find out the one weakness you have and use it to kill you.

How the CIA interfered in Nigeria’s intellectual development to prevent socialist class consciousness.

In the 1960s, when Capitalist America was locked in a high-stakes Cold War with the Soviet Union, the CIA was completely terrified that newly independent African intellectuals, fresh off the heels of throwing off European colonial chains, would naturally embrace Soviet communism, Marxist-Leninist class analysis, and radical anti-capitalist revolutions against their former Western colonizers. Instead of deploying fighter jets, heavy artillery, and ballistic missiles to fight this specific ideological battle, the CIA masterfully weaponized money, art, academic funding, and literature. Their calculated goal was to gently, subliminally steer the brightest African minds toward Western liberal democracy, competitive individualism, and free-market capitalism, and decisively away from revolutionary, socialist class consciousness.

The CIA obviously could not openly hand over dollar bills to proud Nigerian writers, because this was the fiery era of sovereign, anti-colonial struggles against Western imperialism, and absolutely no self-respecting, anti-colonial intellectual would ever accept direct funding from Washington. So, the CIA brilliantly funneled millions of dollars through a highly sophisticated, covert front organization called the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), and a philanthropic shell foundation called the Farfield Foundation. Operating out of its luxurious headquarters in Paris, the CCF presented itself as a wealthy, independent, and progressive organization dedicated strictly to promoting "freedom of expression", sponsoring literary magazines, and supporting avant-garde artists worldwide. In reality, every single cent of its operational budget was directed, controlled, and funded by the CIA.

To prevent militant, socialist networks from ever forming on the continent, the CIA recognized that it needed to build, control, and monopolize the physical platforms where African intellectuals gathered, ensuring these spaces were firmly, safely aligned with Western interests. In 1961, the historic Mbari Club was founded in the university town of Ibadan, Nigeria. It rapidly became the most vibrant, electrifying, and celebrated center for literature, theater, poetry, and visual arts in West Africa. It served as the ultimate gathering place for Nigeria's rising literary titans, including Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, and J.P. Clark. What these brilliant, fiercely patriotic young Nigerians did not know was that the Mbari Club was heavily, consistently subsidized by the CIA through the Farfield Foundation and the CCF. By secretly funding the lease of the building, the publishing costs of their journals, the travel allowances of the writers, and the logistics of their events, the CIA successfully ensured that the very epicenter of Nigerian intellectual life was tied to Western patronage and not Soviet sponsorship.

This initial reality does seem highly counterintuitive and paradoxical because it was inside this exact Mbari Club that some of the most powerful, enduring Pan-African thoughts were conceived. Chinua Achebe published "Things Fall Apart", which contained a powerful anti-colonial consciousness that permanently shattered the racist Western propaganda claiming Africans had no history, culture, or civilization prior to the arrival of white men with their gunboats. Additionally, Wole Soyinka wrote "A Dance of the Forests" to sharply interrogate the political hubris of the newly independent political class, Christopher Okigbo composed his prophetic, avant-garde modernist poetry, and J.P. Clark captured the visceral human textures of local life. These monumental, anti-colonial Pan-African works were successfully produced largely because the CIA did not openly tell Nigerian writers what to write, or try to dictate their creative processes.

If the CIA had literally walked into the Mbari Club in Ibadan and tried to explicitly dictate, censor, or micromanage the conversations, brilliant, uncompromising minds like Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe would have rejected them and thrown them out immediately. Instead, the CIA brilliantly used its funding to act as a silent, invisible gatekeeper. They did not have to physically silence, ban, or arrest radical Marxist writers. They simply, strategically made sure that the non-Marxist, liberal writers had the biggest megaphones, the widest distribution networks, and the highest international platforms. By quietly funding the Mbari Club's rent, covering their publishing costs, and bankrolling their international travel to prestigious global conferences, the CIA successfully ensured that writers who focused on individualism, local culture, and bourgeois aesthetics became celebrated global superstars. Meanwhile, radical writers who focused on working-class solidarity, anti-capitalist struggles, and socialist revolutions remained underfunded, unpublished, and completely obscure.
The CIA in the 1960s was perfectly fine with, and even actively promoted, anti-colonialism, cultural negritude, and African artistic pride. What they were absolutely terrified of was class warfare. They desperately wanted to steer African intellectuals toward Cultural Nationalism (the safe, performative celebration of African identity) and decisively away from Marxist Socialism (which involved organizing, educating, and arming the peasantry to overthrow capitalist structures).

The CIA could care less how the newly independent African celebrated their tribal heritage, and whatever beautiful poetry they wrote about the glory of their ancestors was none of their business. They would happily, enthusiastically promote you even if you fiercely criticized European racism, British colonialism, or white supremacy. They could easily tolerate all of these cultural protests so long as Nigeria's massive oil wealth, raw resources, and cash crops continued to flow to Western capitals completely uninterrupted. What they were absolutely terrified of, and heavily, invisibly censored, was class consciousness. Writers who explored socialist ideas, class struggle, and anti-capitalist revolutions were simply not eligible for Western funding, international distribution, or global marketing, which successfully ensured that their works were buried completely away from public view. This was because they knew that if the African working class were enlightened about Marxist thought, they would immediately rebel against the local comprador class, organize general strikes, and dismantle the entire capitalist system that has reduced them to peasants in their own homeland. It is also critically important to emphasize that the CIA was perfectly happy to see the Mbari Club uplift the colonized African. This is because the primary motive for spending millions of dollars funding the Mbari Club was absolutely not about stopping the intellectual "uplifting" of Africans, but rather about completely controlling how they were uplifted.

It is crucial to note that the young Nigerian writers were completely unwitting, innocent participants. Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, and others had absolutely no idea that their creative sanctuary was secretly being funded by American intelligence agents.
In 1967, courageous investigative journalists exposed the fact that the CCF and the Farfield Foundation were actually covert CIA fronts. African intellectuals across the continent felt deeply betrayed, humiliated, and outraged. However, by that time, the CIA's covert mission had already largely succeeded: the foundational, defining era of post-colonial Nigerian literature and intellectual thought had been established, funded, and firmly anchored in Western liberal traditions, successfully steering an entire generation of our greatest thinkers completely away from Soviet socialism.

Nigerians really believe there’s money kept aside in the economy as fraud money, with the way they are quick to shout, “if you factor in fraud money.”

That money you call fraud money, you have no idea that your collective labour is what’s powering it.

Once again, if we don't take economic literacy seriously in this country, we are never going to make it.

I rented a shop at Amawire Orji, but I didn't last two weeks there.

There was this wire-crossing close to the building, but I never imagined it was a danger until one morning after a heavy rainfall.

I came with a carpenter to do some woodwork. The moment I touched the iron gate, I was almost electrocuted. If not for the carpenter who stopped me, that would have been my last.

I explained everything to the landlord and asked for a refund, but he refused.

I left the shop and the money behind because, life is too expensive to risk over a rent, and only a føolish man would stay back to fight.
