Here is something worth pondering as a Nigerian.

Peter Obi is a strong admirer of the Chinese model of economic development, yet he rarely, if ever, openly associates with Chinese diplomats the way he does with Western ones. And he is not alone. There appears to be an unwritten rule barring Nigerian presidential candidates from openly engaging with China, even those who openly claim to want to replicate the Chinese model at home.

Why? Because America effectively owns Nigeria. And for any presidential candidate, being seen as too close to China reduces your chances of being elected to zero.

Think about this. If Your country remains a colony of another country, how exactly do you expect to make meaningful progress?

허리 때문에 밤마다 뒤척이던 나… 일본 척추 전문의가 알려준 방법 하나로 끝남.

침대에 베개 하나 놓고 5분만 누워있으면 됨.
그게 다임.

특정 자세 잡고 숨을 길게 내쉬는 것뿐인데 이게 척추신경 눌린 거 풀어주는 원리라고 함.
운동도 아니고 그냥 숨쉬기라 부담도 1도 없음.

밤마다 허리 통증으로 잠 설치는 사람이면 오늘부터 자기 전 루틴으로 하나 만들어보길.

The easiest way to keep people from questioning power is to convince them that politics is too complicated for ordinary people.

It isn’t.

Power benefits when you believe you can’t understand it.

I’m sorry, but it genuinely feels like the world is heading toward a very dark place. A place where evil is rewarded, truth is silenced, and the people who choose to do what is right are punished for it. It’s heartbreaking to watch goodness become a burden while those

Charity begins at home.

It is for this exact reason that I absolutely did not need to read complex treatises on political theory or global economics to vividly understand that the United States is an imperial nation.

Right here in Nigeria, America is perpetually, obsessively "concerned" about our democracy. They generously spend millions of hard-earned dollars sponsoring theatrical Peace Accords, funding elite election observers, underwriting civil society NGOs and hosting capacity-building workshops, supposedly just so we could enjoy free, fair, and transparent elections.

On top of all this overwhelming charity, American pharmaceutical giants continue to "bless" us with endless vaccine rollouts, massive American oil majors like Chevron and ExxonMobil so selflessly help us drill our own crude oil, and Western financial institutions eagerly supply us with economic blueprints, structural adjustment programs, and poverty-alleviation grants.

All of this massive love we supposedly get from America, aggressively amplified by the slick Hollywood portrayal of Washington as an infallible, positive force for global good, always heroically flying out to topple oppressive regimes, defeat and bring freedom, salvation, human rights, and glittering democracy to mankind, almost made me genuinely believe that America was a divine utopia literally located in heaven.

I was absolutely shocked when I discovered that America was actually a physical country on earth with physical borders. I naively told myself that if the United States could extend so much selfless goodness, charity, and love to a developing country in West Africa that is thousands of nautical miles away from its ports, then nearby countries located right in its own geopolitical backyard must be enjoying sublime peace, superior technology, zero poverty, and a much better healthcare system.

And then I studied further and discovered that these immediate neighbors are actually the epicenters of some of the worst, most devastating humanitarian crises in the Western Hemisphere. I learned that America has maintained a suffocating 60-year economic embargo on Cuba just to starve its population, orchestrated bloody right-wing coups in Guatemala and Honduras, backed ruthless military death squads in El Salvador and Nicaragua, crippled Haiti with endless interventions and debt traps, and slapped crippling, economy-destroying sanctions on Venezuela.

This cold, terrifying realization was more than enough to instantly radicalize me. It forced me to critically study the actual, material effects of all this so-called "help," diplomatic "advice," and humanitarian "aid" that America constantly ships out to Africa to supposedly save the continent.

It was at this precise moment of awakening that I finally understood why, despite America’s endless, multi-million-dollar efforts to "help" us in our elections, we magically only ever produce the absolute worst, most compromised, and spineless sets of comprador leaders. It was then that I recognized exactly why, despite the supposed technological "goodness" of American oil majors helping us drill our oil, we never stop complaining about industrial-scale oil theft, unremitted royalties, and environmental devastation, and why we mathematically cannot even afford to sustain basic fuel subsidies without running catastrophic budget deficits.

I realized why, despite decades of USAID medical interventions, experimental drug trials, and vaccine campaigns, the life expectancy of an average Nigerian remains vomit-inducing, our public hospitals look like abandoned slaughterhouses, our top medical professionals are constantly fleeing to the UK and US, and easily curable diseases like malaria and cholera still wipe tens of thousands annually in Nigeria.

But the biggest shock I experienced was looking at sovereign, defiant nations like Iran. We are strictly commanded by Western media to view Iran as a backward, authoritarian regime that must be sanctioned into oblivion. Yet, despite facing decades of maximum-pressure economic blockades, Iran is able to build advanced domestic infrastructure, fund free public education, launch satellites, manufacture precision defense systems, provide world-class amenities to their citizens, and maintain domestic fuel prices that are literally cheaper than a bottle of table water here in Nigeria.

It was at this exact, radicalizing moment that I finally, completely understood the true geopolitical posturing of Washington on the global stage. Their "aid" is a weapon of subjugation, their "diplomacy" is a tool for corporate extraction, and their "democracy" is nothing but a beautifully painted Trojan horse for imperial plunder.

When citizens don’t understand economics, politics becomes entertainment.

They cheer for politicians.
They fight over parties.
They defend personalities.

Meanwhile, the policies affecting their wealth, wages and future pass quietly in the background.

Space is no longer the final frontier to conquer. Reality is. If not, how is CSE still taught after this?

I have so much to share.

[⭒˚ ☀︎.⋆ @khalifaslimxx]

People are taught to celebrate individual success in systems that produce collective failure.

One person escapes poverty and becomes proof that the system “works.”

Millions remaining poor become invisible.

A population becomes easier to control when survival consumes all of its attention.

Work.
Bills.
Debt.
Rent.
Food.
Repeat.

Exhaustion leaves very little room for political consciousness.

[⭒˚ ☀︎.⋆ @khalifaslimxx]

The system doesn’t have to hide the truth.

It can simply bury it beneath entertainment, outrage, distractions and endless noise.

A distracted population rarely notices who is making the decisions.
