People treat capitalism, socialism and communism as just another text book definitions, but these are the ideologies that shaped up our lives as an average human.
In Nigeria, the capitalism mindset is not just about setting our own prices and prioritize our Individual profit, it’s also how we personalized success, tragedy, misfortune and injustice.
A majority (not average) of Nigerians will never fight back against an “obvious” injustice, because they are not the victims.
We don’t raise a damn eyebrow until a tragedy hits home.
That is why you and I go to work the following morning after a 300+ school children were kidnapped instead of using the leverage we have as the majority to demand accountability from our government, law enforcements etc to get them out as soon as possible.
Until we start to treat capitalism and socialism as more than economy policies, we ain’t going anywhere with either systems.
There’s something someone will do for you..
And every now and then, you’ll stay wondering what you did to receive such gesture from them
Sometime last year, Olamide Baddo followed me back out of the blue, we got talking and he asked for acc details.. And sent me 10 MILLION NAIRA.
I know he probably won’t like the fact that i’m bringing this out here, but Baba Milli @Olamide I gats appreciate you!
Mo mo ore.. Mo dupe! 🙏🏻
The girl you are double-texting, is gisting the guy she actually likes, about you and 31 others fooling themselves on her WhatsApp page.
A girl who likes you would give you a straight encouraging first impression.
Of course you're obviously better at word salad n English grammar than I am.
But if you as much as read my tweet to understand n not reading mainly to respond you'll get my point especially the ending.
"Even Nkrumah wrote about this directly. His point in Consciencism was that flag independence without a reorganized political consciousness..."
Guns can take the state... Now show me a group more ORGANIZED than the MILITARY!
The notion or propaganda that the military is not organised is a lie that needs to be slapped off your face or anyone who says so
"Sankara ran mass literacy campaigns, while running a government that came to power through military force."
He ran mass literacy campaign after taking power through military force right??
As against Chetuyah's proposal of "Ignore the exploitation n focus on mass education" as how??
You have zero argument about Zimbabwe cos everything you know is fed you by the same media controlled by the capitalist class that's not happy about Zimbabwe's govt.
And I NOTICED THAT YOUR ENTIRE CRITICISM just as I expected is based ENTIRELY ON AFRICANS REVOLUTIONARIES.
STOP IT!
It's giving "Africans don't do it right, it has to be done the white man way"
Your entire argument minus the Grammars n excuses point to 1 thing only. That the countries who did it historically used Military might first and mass literacy followed WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM SAYING.
So what's the plenty essay for??
We will not stop until Africans understand that there are colonial-induced consumer habits, and the fawning that comes with such consumerism, that are deeply harmful to the continent, especially when you consider the exploitation the continent itself endures to produce these shiny products.
“The iPhone Cult Phenomenon And Its Hidden Cost”
My latest report for the @Spearhead_Af .
People sat and watched BB Naija cos country was still bearable and they had little worries. Oya gist us today na. What is the size of Bose’s boobs? Fuel is 1450. You don chop?
Another year, another banal consumerist festival surrounding the launch of a new iPhone.
But is this just a harmless thing or are this annual marketing ritual and the company behind it very bad for your interests as an African?
