Flying Toke Makinwa and over 1,400 useless delegates to Dubai was apparently affordable.
But sponsoring a few of Nigeria's brightest minds to China to represent the country at an international mathematics competition was not.💔
Fvcking retards!
Someone couldn’t afford fees at 40k but now he can go to school and graduate with a debt of 1 million on his neck.
But hey, NELFUND is an achievement.
APC mathematics ehn. 😂
In a whole 2026 the Nigerian 1st lady is publicly asking Citizens to start Akara, Roasted Corn and KuliKuli business to make Ends meet; After removing Subsidy. This Guys have no idea about Poverty Reduction. This is their Highest plan for your life. Vote Wisely 2027. 😮💨
Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

We're trying to give hope. To start akara business doesn't take much; to start roasting corn doesn't take much. We didn't give them a loan; we gave it to them as a grant. We have encouraged Nigerians as best as we could. What is within our hands, I have given, and I keep giving." — Remi Tinubu
You've been hearing about the so-called "Olodo Uprising".
Here's a wider angle on this phenomenon to help you contextualise what you are actually witnessing, why it is happening and who is ultimately behind it (hint: it's not Peller - he's just a symptom!)
Peller is not the problem IMO.
The real issue is a broken system designed to neglect and ignore intellect. A system that has consistently undermined the efforts of promising talents across academia, forcing our brightest minds to “japa” or settle for less.
BBN pays 100M+ to winners, a reality show, fine. But most schools can’t even award their best graduating students ₦100k. The state can’t guarantee them jobs. In my time, our best graduating student, an exceptionally brilliant guy destined for greatness now works as a successful freelancer, digital analyst and YouTuber. He’s doing really well, but that mind was built for more. Top-tier virologist material, serving the nation. We lost that potential and so many others.
Youth unemployment is at a high, quite alarming for nation with immense potential and one of the youngest population average on the planet.
We churn out graduates yearly but fail to harness them. It’s time to fix the system and not bash the symptoms.
"Nigerian society is no longer celebrating academic excellence. It’s not even Yahøø culture anymore; now we have a 'Peller culture.' This 'Olodo' uprising we are witnessing is terrible. It feels like we are trying so hard to accommodate ignorance so people won’t feel bad, and now they seem to be the majority. The massive attack on Nigeria’s educational system is alarming, aside from kidnappings and Bøko Haram attacks."

“To start akara business doesn’t take a lot of money. To start roasting corn or kuli-kuli doesn’t take much. We have encouraged Nigerians as best as we could, we have given people a grant, I also gave to several others.”
-Remi Tinubu, First Lady of Nigeria.
Husband is building coastal highway.
Wife is telling people to roast corn and sell kulikuli by the roadside.
What kind of satanic leaders do we have?
He took fuel subsidy away from 230m citizens and shared it with 36 Governors because he needs them for his reelection.
So “fuel subsidy is gone” has been all about his 2027 aspiration?
A dark, cold, degenerate soul.
UK doesn’t Play with Good governance to the Point they Changed 6 prime Ministers in 10 years. But when it comes to Africa they Will Encourage Dictators Like Biya & Museveni, And Congratulate Nigeria Every time we Hold a Sham Election. This is Very Sad & Shameful Conduct. 🙄🇬🇧
Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.
It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.
I'm joined by @DavidHundeyin, an independent Nigerian investigative journalist, filmmaker, and CEO of The Spearhead. The new episode will be out this Saturday afternoon. Stay tuned. Here's a 10-minute clip from our conversation about the situation in South Africa, covering the push by white South African elites to return to apartheid and the current dynamics of the South African government.
