facing your fears has always been the way forward in life

[Paddy @PaddyArsenal]

Let the records state zero Arsenal players took part in that collapse

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

How you help yourself to "let go" of this "freedom" illusion that has been successfully sold to you by Hollywood and US-funded media and civil society is to ask yourself a few important questions:

What exactly is "freedom"? Is "freedom" the ability to thumbprint on a ballot paper that will be tippexed at the collation centre with your vote given to APC regardless of who you voted for?

Is "freedom" the ability to make social media skits insulting your president that was imposed on you by a foreign power even though nobody voted for him?

Is "freedom" the ability to rant endlessly on Twitter about your "bad leaders", knowing fully well that you are just wasting English and kilobytes to no end whatsoever?

Joseph Stalin once said “It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.”

I think that's a much more constructive way of viewing "freedom." Poor, deprived, uneducated people are not, and can never be "free" in any meaningful sense. What use are my "constitutional freedoms" if my stomach is empty? If my stomach and my brain are empty, I am automatically a slave to whoever can put bread in my belly and information in my head - and that person automatically has the power to turn me into a weapon fashioned against myself and those around me. In that situation, which describes most of modern Africa, can you describe me as "free"?

"Democracy" and "freedom" are some of oyibo's most dangerous linguistic weapons when used in the context of people living on a per capita income of less than $3,000/year. Where are you likelier to live a full, happy life - Nigeria or China? Nigeria supposedly has the "democracy" that China doesn't - why are Nigerians leaving that "freedom" and migrating to China for a better life, instead of the other way around? Why do North Koreans have a life expectancy that is over 20 years longer than Nigerians? Why do the Vietnamese have much better lives than most Nigerians who have ever existed?

All of the years you have spent thumbprinting ballot papers for candidates that the US embassy will never allow to win, China has been doing 5-year plans and becoming the world's greatest country.

While most of you are engulfed in the theoretical science of Marxism.
I myself is focused on the practical science of Marxism. Historic application n how it works out (not some smooth Grammar disconnected from reality)

Saying we peddle "reactionary anti-Marxist sentiment" on here is proof U have no clue my argument.

I've said it before n I'll repeat it again.
IT IS TOTALLY FOOLISH AND DELUSIONAL TO THINK YOU CAN UNITE WITH WORKERS OF THE IMPERIAL CORE (People keeping the Imperial machine running) BEFORE A REVOLUTION.

To think the Capitalist class will just sit back, especially for you 🫵 from a 3rd world country, not an established power to Unite with workers under their control n topple them. WAKE UP BRO
You don't have the man power, the resources, intelligence agency to even try.

Even if you do have the man power, the workers in the imperial core is exploited by choice. They're invested in the system via the stocks, bonds, S&P 500, retirement savings n 401ks hoping to benefit from the global exploitation. Are they willing to give it up?

Marx himself saw the contradiction when he explained irish and British workers. Then, British workers thought they deserved more than irish workers. The British workers saw themselves as ruling Nation n therefore they have this superior mentality.

The workers unity failed in practice even before it began. PRACTICALITY.

May I remind you that as an African you're not just fighting the Capitalist class, you're fighting WHITE SUPREMACY.
You cannot Unite with people who have been told all their lives they're racially superior than you.
Most of them love the system, heck, they volunteer to enlist n go n destroy other workers of the global South. PRACTICALITY!

In as much as MARX placed "Class over race" in his work. What happens when "Race is class"? He didn't address that cos he's in a position of privilege.

Now about Kwame Nkrumah, He made mistakes which he himself admitted n some he didn't quite notice. You will understand this from history.
Trying to Unite black workers from the imperial core was one of his grave mistakes.
That was how CIA spies infiltrated his govt n later overthrow him.

I'm guessing the AES realized this which is why they don't want to make same mistake.
They've lasted this long cos they formed a regional alliance n One by one others will join. PRACTICALITY

You either continue doing your THEORETICAL MARXISM (with lots of English Grammar)
Or
You wake up to reality and learn from great men Like LENIN, MAO, NKRUMAH, Sankara n others who has laid down the framework for PRACTICAL MARXISM.

@nonewthing I bet if this was done in Qatar, you'd have an entirely different opinion

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

Just seeing this now, and will try my best to simplify it for you, and anyone else reading, to the point you will understand. If you fail to grasp it this time, sorry, I can't help any further.

I will not make it difficult to read, so I will leave bullet points.

> Pan-Africanists are not shielding corrupt local leaders; Pan-Africanists believe in addressing their rascality from the source. There is a source. They were not always like this. Take, for instance, every single African leader in history who had tried to make a difference was either killed or violently overthrown.

>There’s a concept called “imperialism” - this happens when someone else controls your affairs to their advantage, and to achieve this, they must stop your own benefits (meaning stopping you from developing).

>Imperialism comes in two forms: direct form (colonialism) and indirect form (neocolonialism)

>Colonialism is the one you want us to forget, which sounds plausible until you consider the second form (neocolonism). Colonialism itself did quite an enormous damage that will take a while to repair. Now consider the fact that we are not even done remedying that, and the second form is alive and kicking.

> Neocolonialim means, “they are not longer here to control you directly anymore, but they are still doing so remotely, through economic means (the IMF, World Bank, etc, politically (via democracy - a system introduced to you for this same purpose), culturally (via arts, entertainment, religion and football) and of course the Media (which includes the New media that we are having this conversation on).”

>So effectively, they left, but before they did so, they put in motion a mechanism to still maintain control even while they are gone.

So, telling us to “forget” not only reveals your poor understanding of history but also your lack of awareness of your present world, which basically means that you are still under the colonial mentality we are working so hard to correct.

So rather than disparaging Pan-Africanists at every opportunity, you should rather be thanking us for the job we are doing, to which your survival depends on.

Btw, Nkrumah published a book about the second form of imperialism (I mentioned here) and that rattled the United States to the point of severing diplomatic ties and leading to his overthrow after some months.

What is even wrong with you people?

Take any population on earth.

For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.

Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.

Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.

Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.

When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.

Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.

Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.

Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.

Put the results on a map.

Call the map a "nature documentary."

Tell yourself the scores show something biological.

Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.

Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.

You did not follow the evidence.

You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.

And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

Every Nigerian needs to pay very close attention to this official press release by the Finance Minister of Nigeria, Taiwo Oyedele. This serves as the direct response by the Federal Government to the International Monetary Fund 2026 Article IV Concluding Statement on Nigeria.

The recent IMF statement on Nigeria is overflowing with glowing praises for the Tinubu Administration and their supposedly brilliant economic policies.
The IMF is loudly cheering for the reunification of the foreign exchange market because the gap between the official and black market exchange rates has remained below 5%, which is absolutely fantastic for foreign investors since they love predictability, guaranteed margins, and zero currency friction. They also excitedly applaud the fact that Nigeria's foreign reserves have built back up, supposedly providing a comfortable cushion against global economic shocks. Finally, the IMF highly commended the Tinubu government's decisions to eliminate deficit monetization (which stopped the CBN from printing money to fund government projects) and to permanently remove petrol subsidies.

Now, the Tinubu Administration, speaking through the office of the Finance Minister, is proudly parading this IMF report like a shiny gold medal. They are framing this praise as an "independent validation" that their brutally painful economic policies over the past few years are finally yielding positive macroeconomic results. The glaring problem here is that this is not something Nigeria as a sovereign country should be celebrating, and this is entirely because of who the IMF actually works for and who dictates their underlying policies. The G7 nations and Western superpowers entirely control the IMF board, and the institution itself exists strictly to protect the financial interests of international creditor nations, massive global investment banks, ruthless hedge funds, and wealthy foreign bondholders. The primary job of the IMF is merely to ensure that the global financial system remains perfectly stable and that struggling developing nations never default on their massive, crippling debts to foreign creditors. Therefore, the IMF works exclusively for the lenders (the global financial-industrial complex), absolutely not for the bleeding borrowers like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, or any other struggling African nation.

To see how bad this is, just observe this currency unification being praised by the IMF as a massive win for the Tinubu Administration. They are celebrating simply because the exchange rate is now mathematically stable and investors are finally happy. This is spectacularly good for foreign speculators, but it is deeply catastrophic for us because the currency stabilized at a spectacularly weaker level of N1,400 per dollar, compared to N770 in the black market and N450 in the official rate before this administration took over.
So yes, the currency is technically unified, but at a permanently crippled level. Since Nigeria is a heavily import-dependent economy, this unified weakness has made the cost of food, life-saving medicines, basic hospital bills, school fees, transportation, building materials, imported spare parts, and daily survival astronomical, thereby permanently destroying the purchasing power of everyday Nigerians.

Furthermore, the IMF congratulating the Tinubu Administration on increasing the country's foreign reserves might sound like brilliant news, until you suddenly realize that it is this exact, deliberate policy that violently crippled our local industries. Most of the money that makes up these bloated new foreign reserves was forcefully squeezed out of the removal of petrol subsidies, a move that has deeply suffocated our local businesses, artisans, manufacturers, and logistics companies who rely entirely on petrol generators to survive. But this is not even the full tragic story. Even the bloody change they violently squeezed out of the dying Nigerian middle class was not enough to impress these foreign investors. To aggressively entice them, the Tinubu Administration spiked the base interest rate from 18% up to a staggering 27%. This was no mistake. In the US, for example, when you lend money to the government by buying Treasury Bills, federal bonds, municipal securities, or index funds, the interest you expect to make per year is at most 5%. But the Nigerian government is desperately signaling to these foreign speculators and international bondholders to come drop their dollars in Nigeria, effectively guaranteeing them a massive 27% interest by the end of the year. This might look like a huge economic win as foreign capital flows into the country, but this hot money never ends up in the pockets of ordinary Nigerians. It is never used to build schools, pay hospital bills, subsidize agriculture, fix dead refineries, or reduce house rents. The money just sits idly in the central bank to impress the IMF and World Bank creditors, proving to them that Nigeria is highly liquid and perfectly safe to lend to.

The absolute worst part of this trap is that it is not just the CBN increasing the base interest rates. The commercial banks are naturally forced to aggressively increase their lending rates even higher. Today, some predatory commercial banks are charging desperate businesses as much as 35% to 40% interest on loans. This financial terrorism has forced countless local businesses to drastically cut down production, lay off massive numbers of staff, and permanently close their branches in remote areas across Nigeria, forcing them to operate strictly within the suffocating limits of their own personal, depleted capital. It is practically mathematically impossible to borrow from a Nigerian bank, scale up production, create actual wealth, and employ the millions of struggling graduates in our society when you first have to pay 40% to the bank. Add that to the reunified currency making imports insanely expensive, meaning businesses still have to pay extra for imported raw materials, clear goods at exorbitant customs duties, pay multiple state taxes, and buy the hyper-expensive fuel that spiked in price due to the celebrated subsidy removal.

It is very possible to analyze this insulting press release further, but there is absolutely no need to waste the time. Clearly, this administration should not be celebrating warm handshakes, pat-on-the-back press releases, and polite diplomatic smiles from foreign creditors and international bondholders. They should be focusing entirely on the bleeding Nigerians who are brutally forced to carry the crushing, suffocating burden of these massive economic miscalculations just to please a comfortable, wealthy board of directors at the World Bank and the IMF.
