Something very suspicious is happening on this platform! @elonmusk if you want me to leave your platform, then ban my account.
How on earth are my tweets getting deleted without my knowledge?!!!
Look at the link on her bio.
Check out who sponsors it.
See the sponsor's commercial interest in GMO. Link the dots.
After 400 years, the primary economic model of African leaders continues to be the fire sale of Africans to rich white men.
Nothing has changed.
NIGERIAN MINISTER DROPS BOKO HARAM USAID BOMBSHELL
On 18 February, former Nigerian Foreign Minister Bolaji Akinyemi dropped a bombshell amidst revelations that the recently dismantled US International Agency for Development (USAID) had allegedly been funding t*rrorist groups like Boko Haram.
Akinyemi told Nigerian TV network Arise News that during an investigation into Boko Haram's reign of terror in northeastern Nigeria, villagers reported seeing foreign pilots operating helicopters that delivered weapons and supplies to the insurgents.
During a congressional Oversight and Accountability Committee meeting on 13 February, US Congressman Scott Perry accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of financing terrorist organisations. He claimed that the US funnelled nearly $697 million into initiatives that supported militant factions worldwide. Perry asserted that USAID's funds, allegedly intended for humanitarian and educational purposes, had been directed to finance madrassas (Arabic for ‘school,’ though often referring to Islamic institutions), t*rrorist training facilities, and extremist groups like Boko Haram, ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
On 19 February, the US embassy in Nigeria issued a statement that the US had officially designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization on 14 November 2013, including freezing its assets.
Akinyemi, who returned to academia after his time as foreign minister (1985-87), said the Obama administration tied Nigeria’s hands in the fight against t*rrorism when it refused to sell arms to Nigeria in 2014, citing concerns over human rights violations by the Nigerian military in its fight against Boko Haram. In July 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari accused the US of indirectly supporting Boko Haram's extremist agenda by invoking the Leahy Law, which restricts arms sales to militaries accused of human rights abuses.
Boko Haram has been active since 2009, aiming to overthrow the Nigerian government and impose a radical interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia, whilst displacing 2.4 million people in the broader region.

French oil tankers are brazenly entering Nigerian waters to steal oil, while committing broad daylight maritime fraud in the process.
Apparently we're not allowed to talk about it because - you guessed it - that would somehow make us "Pro-Kremlin."
After 10 years, residents of the Bille and Ogale communities in Rivers State have finally convinced a British court that Royal Dutch Shell is in fact, responsible for the actions of Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria.
Apparently, you shouldn't talk about this ongoing legal travesty, otherwise you're amplifying "Kremlin narratives," according to our MI6, CIA and DHS friends at the @Cen4infoRes
Oh, and one more thing that I think our Nigerian USAID mourning class needs to understand: We are not Westerners.
I'll say that again for emphasis.
We are NOT Westerners.
You might speak their English and French, practise their Christianity, wear their Saville Row suits and Parisian perfumes, take their geopolitical instructions and NGO funding, involve yourself in their culture wars and red vs blue politics, use all of their trending buzzwords, adopt their social causes...heck you can even physically move to their countries, obtain their citizenship, and marry into their bloodlines.
It changes nothing. You're just a monkey in a suit.
You are African. You are not from the West. The West is not your home and it does not identify with you. Its interests are not your interests - and even if you don't know where your interests lie, it certainly does. No amount of work you put into aligning yourself with oyibo will ever make oyibo's interests align with yours. You are and will always be to them, a (well-trained) monkey in a suit. At best they will like you. But liking individual natives has never stopped oyibo from exterminating the natives' entire civilisation.
So it's better that you accept the reality of your Africanness, and align your life choices with that reality. That's what I did 2 years ago, after wasting a lot of useful time trying to see and engage with the world through a Western prism. Since I accepted reality and stopped being a monkey in a suit, life has become more streamlined, and I've gained the ability to always see what is there, not what someone told me to think is there.
Stop fighting civil wars inside your head and trying to be what you fundamentally can never be. Grieve your lost time and wasted effort, them move on.
Life is too short to waste it on being a monkey in a suit.
Yesterday, Trump froze funding for @NEDemocracy, after nearly half a century of facilitating colour revolutions and regime change operations in Latin America and Asia.
But are you aware that NED has been active in your African backyard too?
In a country that has ambition, people should grow up aspiring to benefit from and contribute to the country's productive economy.
Nobody should grow up seeing NGO work as their visual reference for prosperity, as is the case in many parts of Nigeria and Africa.
The NGO-isation of African economies is a form of hybrid warfare. In tech, for example, there exists a whole subgenre of "tech bros" who do not actually build anything that solves any problems or creates any value, but rather apply for grants and receive what amounts to "free" dollars from foreign governments in exchange for not very much work at all.
The same thing is happening is happening in journalism, where almost no Nigerian journalist is working to figure out a new business model to replace the clearly broken current one that makes journalists poor, and nobody is interested in reporting stories that actually matter to Nigeria's national interests. Everybody is instead busy chasing $2,000 grants from Pullitzer Centre, CDD, CJID, and the rest of the Abuja NGO journalism rabble.
In agriculture, nobody is trying to fix the REAL problems with Nigerian agriculture - security, mechanisation, and storage & transport infrastructure. Instead, everybody is chasing Gates Foundation money and parroting Microsoft Man's narrative about how GMOs will fix everything. Half of Nigeria's harvests spoil ON THE FARM every year due to lack of storage and evacuation infrastructure, but one white man's NGO is busy telling us that what we need to increase our food supply is Monsanto-patented corn, and EVERYBODY is following him because of NGO money!
In education, nobody is interested in the foundational problems - an outdated Victorian curriculum and a widespread lack of basic infrastructure like classrooms and computers. Everybody is instead busy following oyibo NGOs to be talking about AI and IoT-enabled learning for all the 12 students that will ever have access to those things, so that they will use AI to teach them that Mungo Park discovered River Niger, and they can use their IoT-enabled tablet computer to label parts of praying mantis.
In real estate, nobody is building to solve the uniform problem across sub-Saharan Africa - access to relatively cheap, high-quality housing, which immediately elevates low-income earners into middle-class status. Everybody is busy chasing one tiny market of money launderers and NGO people who earn in dollars and pricing condos in Guzape at $400,000. So now you have poorly-built, low-quality, cement-and-glass nonsense multiplying all over Africa and sitting empty for decades while the population of urban slums continues to balloon every year!
NGOs and the influx of foreign government money need to be treated as a critical national security threat across Africa. At least 90% of existing NGOs absolutely do not need to exist and should be shut down. Any influx of foreign state funds into an African country must be subject to oversight, and caps need to be placed on how much NGO staff can get paid, so as not to distort national economies dangerously, as they are currently doing.
Reminder that a few months ago, this idiot on the right actually sent Ukrainian troops to kill Malian soldiers with Russian PMCs in Mali because he wanted to open an African front in his imaginary war on Russia.
This bastard spilled innocent African blood on African soil only to end up being discarded like a used prophylactic. A tsetse fly that thought he was a bald eagle.
I think I can finally put this information out now.
Because if someone had said 9 months ago that "terrorists in the Sahel have military grade drones," he would be called a "delusional conspiracy theorist."
Now we know WHO is supplying them with equipment that even the military doesn't have!
Let me tell you a story to illustrate why that will never happen.
Back in the early 2000s, I used to be a decent short-distance track athlete. I even made it to the state U-15s in 2005 before my parents cracked the whip and forced me to abandon my dreams of a career in athletics to go study Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Add. Math.
In 2000, during a school inter-house sports event, the house coach realised that our 4x100m relay team was unbalanced. It had 1 distinctly average runner who was basically drafted in to fill the vacant 4th spot, 2 school relay team substitutes and 1 school relay team starter (me). He decided that instead of running the anchor leg (the fastest guy usually runs anchor), I would run the 3rd leg since I was known for having an explosive burst around the curve. He put the 2 subs on 1st and 2nd leg and put the slowest guy on anchor.
The strategy was for the first 2 to keep up with the rest of the field, then the 3rd leg would burst away and build up an unassailable lead so that the slow anchor could coast home. It worked exactly as planned, and we won the 4x100 relay. As the team captain, I was called up to the podium to receive the trophy and gold medals. Then, the anchor leg started to cry. Apparently, he believed that as the anchor, he had "won" the race, so he should have been the one to receive the trophy for the team.
This guy only made it into the team because our house didn't have enough short distance runners, and we just needed a warm body to make up the numbers. His "anchor" leg consisted of losing much of the substantial lead the other 3 legs had built, and just about managing to cross the line before the guy in 2nd place caught him. Also, it was well known that the team captain would be called up to receive the trophy. Yet, due to a lack of self-awareness, he believed that he was the protagonist in the race and that he was being unjustly treated.
That petulant 11 year-old boy is how I see the BBOG people and the rest of the Nigerian civil society ecosystem that took part in the 2015 regime change event. They honestly and genuinely believe that they were protagonists in what happened. Their entire identity and self-worth rests on their belief that they did "activism" that took down a government. If you tell them that they were just the "slow anchor" used to fill up certain spaces in someone else's gamified geopolitical strategy for Nigeria, they will call your phone and start speaking English for hours.
Meanwhile, the actual protagonists in "Operation Jonathan Must Go" - the US State Department, David Axelrod, Barack Obama, USAID, and NED - just look at them with faint amusement. NED even openly boasts on its website that it funded over 30 Nigerian civil society organisations specifically for the purpose of interfering in the 2015 Nigerian election. You don't have to take my word for it. You can Google it and see for yourself.
These people are like the kid brother who thinks he is playing a videogame with his older brother, but his game controller isn't even connected. They were part of the game, but they were never IN the game. And nothing injures their egos more than to hear that harsh truth. Which is why in 100 years time when all that is left of them is holographic AI consciousness, if you ask their AI what happened in 2015, you will still get the same nonsensical answers they're giving you now.
As I always say, it's a very Nigerian trait to think you're seated at a dinner table when you're actually a piece of meat lying on the plate. The puppet masters know this very well, which is why if Trump doesn't succeed in vanquishing this deep state monster, they will return and once again hand our BBOG types the disconnected game controller, so that those ones can get to feel virtuous and important while the real power puppeting their country continues to reside in Washington DC.
Lacking self-awareness while having a huge ego is one of the worst psychological states of existence.
I have finally regained full control of my account.
Somehow, the "revoke access" button magically reappeared after I complained and posted screenshots.
