As an African, notice the pattern:
You need regional railways & cargo ports, more than Airports.
You need local pharmaceutical plants, not donated, short-dated medicines.
You need interconnected regional power grids not isolated diesel generators.
You need debt cancellation & sovereign credit, not IMF loans.
You need African-led fertilizer factories, not foreign agribusiness land grabs.
You need continental military & intelligence cooperation, not foreign military bases.
You need a unified African digital currency/payment system, not the US Dollar for intra-African trade.
You need textile mills and garment factories, not second-hand clothes and fashion imports.
You don't need another donor; you need institutions that generate wealth.
You don't need foreign intervention in your politics, you just need to be left alone.
you're not incapable of governing yourself, you just haven't been given the chance 🧏♂️

@princekally001 We need an African based economy, mathematics, chemistry, physics, phycology, astronomy, medical, philosophy and architectural education in which it knowledge will be base in Africa. And if we can proceed further we can rebuild a replica of library of Alexandria
When a woman choose to abort, kill her child or be unclad, it is her choice but when a woman chooses to keep a home or give birth as she chooses, it is her husband making her do it.
It is women choice only when it suits you best people.
This little girl is not in the video. She wasn't even born. But she is moved to tears watching her mother and father get married. Why?
Marriage researcher and family therapist Pat Fagan once told me:
"When a child sees their mother loving their father they feel like their mother is loving them. When they see their father loving their mother they feel like their father is loving them. It is the only time in the human experience where you can be loved indirectly. No one's even looking at you or touching you or talking to you, but you feel loved."
That is not the case with a step parent, he said. The child may tolerate the romantic expression. But they do not experience that same circuitous love. More often they feel competition or jealousy.
If every child could order their own world, this is what they would say:
"I want my mom and dad to love me and I want my mom and dad to love each other."
Sometimes that's not possible. Woe to a culture that intentionally denies that to children in the name of adult freedom.
A step by step explanation on how Western governments destroy African leaders who are competent. He gives the recent BBC hit piece on Ibrahim Traoré, led by a fellow African (Sudanese journalist).
Stop whatever you're doing and listen carefully:
AFRICOM has announced the launch of a new psychological operation meant to influence Africans towards US interests by deploying a US army cyber unit to impersonate Africans online.
Its name "Drongo" comes from the African bird that mimics other animals so that it can steal their food.
That account trying to gaslight you on Twitter with "Traoré is a brutal dictator", "The worst democracy is better than the best dictatorship", and "Stop blaming white people and hold your leaders accountable" may just be an American soldier carrying out his mission.
Use your discernment on the internet!
You think a minute with God is that thing Nigerian pastors usually do? “I just spoke with God now. God just told me so so and so.”
Go and ask Moses watin him eyes see for maunt Sinai. Psalm 29 vs 8: The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the Wilderness of Kadesh.
Abeg give me gold. I’ll speak to God through Jesus.
They never do.
I've said for years that almost nobody in Nigeria has experienced actual love before, whether male or female. Not from their romantic partners, not from their family, not even from their parents. It's all an unhealthy soup of unprocessed emotions, theatre performance and the worst kind of unbridled capitalism.
Nigerian relationships are characterised by a lot of things. Things like Desire. Lust. Dependency. Codependency. Convenience. Need. Force.
Love is unfortunately not one of them.
20k retweets plus 1000 compliments for me under this thread and I give this random guy 1million.
You can talk about how handsome rich sexy and funny I am.
Bots ignored.
Luis, I don’t know you - let’s see if your fellow man wants your life to change.
Paper money was never supposed to be the money.
It was a receipt.
You deposited gold at a bank.
The bank gave you a note that said:
"The bearer of this note may redeem it for X amount of gold."
That's all a dollar was. A claim ticket.
The paper had no value.
The gold in the vault did.
The paper just made it easier to carry.
This system worked for centuries.
Every major currency was backed this way.
The British pound.
The French franc.
The U.S. dollar.
Then, slowly, governments realized something:
If people trust the paper,
they never come for the gold.
So they printed more notes than they had gold.
Then more.
Then more.
When too many people asked questions,
they closed the gold window.
That was supposed to be temporary.
55 years later, the dollar is still backed by nothing
but trust. And that trust has cost you 97% of your purchasing power.
The receipt became the money.
Global money became trust-based.
And money became nothing but a promise
that nobody has to keep.
The outrage on this tweet makes sense once you have common sense.
Most people today don’t operate on objective reality.
They operate on subjective feelings and assume:
Mood = consent.
If she’s “not in the mood,” no consent.
If she’s “in the mood,” yes consent.
Reality check: mood has nothing to do with consent.
Your feelings are not facts.
Am I in the mood to go to the gym? No. Am I in the mood to clean my house? No. Am I in the mood to take on responsibilities? No.
Do I see it as coercion or force?
Of course not. That’s absurd and delusional.
I do these things because I’m an adult, capable, and responsible, not because I feel like it.
This is why this tweet divides people:
•Objective thinkers: act because it’s factual, independent of feelings.
•Subjective thinkers: reject responsibility unless it serves them.
Look at the comments.
You can see who gets it and who lives in delusion.
