For a long time, he's been the lonely voice in the jungle crying out.
This is the unrepentant stance every influencer and celebrity should take.
Posterity will be kind to Tunde Ednut.
Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug.
You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form.
You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages.
You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution.
You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis.
You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from.
Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.
Love is always enough.
You have a good thing. If you lose it, you'll regret it forever. Love is not a feeling, it is a decision. You have to fan the embers so the fires never run out. Love her when you feel like, love her when you don't feel like, until love is the only feelings you have towards her.
Nigerian men will swear they prefer a particular kind of woman, but go ahead and frustrate that woman when they find her.
Cheat on virgin, cheat on Oyibo, cheat on independent woman that doesn’t bill them.
If you like, bend yourself like crayfish because you want to be picked. They will pick you, then frustrate your life with the women they swore they do not like.
2027 is 4 months away,
2016 was 10 years ago,
Covid happened 6 years ago,
2007 is further away than 2040.
If you were born in 1990, you are 14 years away
from being 50.
If you were born in 1998, you will be 40, 3 world cups from now.
There's time, and there's no time. 🙏
“They set Poco up”, “it’s the devil”
Lmao jokers, if many of you were in the UK, US or Canada, you’d have been arrested for assault too lmao I mean I see your tweets.
Consent has been explained on this TL 356 times yet y’all still do “what was she wearing” “wetin she go do for hotel” each time a man is outed for sexual assault. You never understand bodily autonomy, you think prostitutes can’t be raped, cos “na ashewo” you think short skirts mean consent, you think hotel visits mean consent, you think raunchy videos posted online mean consent, you think clubbing with a man means consent, you openly talk about grooming 17 year olds, better remain in Nigeria or you will be fuckin arrested too.
I don’t know if Pocolee is guilty or not, I will wait for the facts but if he is just like the average Nigerian man: the one that calls you a ‘simp’ for asking him to be decent in dealing with women, the one that vehemently refuses to unlearn archaic practices that won’t fly anywhere else, Im willing to hazard a guess & my guess is; “guilty” I’m sorry.
Because we were sharing Assembly grounds with you? The disrespect to Science is loud.
As you're entering your first year, they're telling you there's pure and applied sciences.
Before you pick your poison, you need to be aware of their subdivisions.
Physical sciences, life sciences, earth sciences, health sciences, computing sciences, engineering fields, formal sciences - and to bind them finely, you need to understand social sciences.
You know what - there's mathematics in all of these divisions. Different kinds.
So when you say, Maths is easier to pass - what maths please? Engineering Maths?
Nnnenna, you will enter bush.
That girl could have been anything. She had valid dreams.
Heck, she was on track to being a nurse. She was someone's precious daughter.
But a man with unbridled desire thought she was his to have - crushed all of her dreams just for 8 seconds, now she's gone.
In Nigeria, we live by the dash.
Everyone expects you to dash them. The security man doing his job, the police doing his job, the person giving you direction, the one helping with a parking space, the babe you said hi to, the relations that think you have money.
The list is endless.
They blame systemic issues on the HCWs.
1. They hate the doctor because they spend a long time before being seen in a public hospital. Forgetting it’s one doctor alone seeing over 40 patients.
2. They hate the nurse because she’s not by their bedside to feed and change diapers every time. Forgetting she’s the only one nursing over 25 patients.
3. They hate that HCWs don’t run like it’s portrayed in movies. Forgetting the HCW here is overworked and underpaid unlike the ones in movies.
4. They hate that the HCWs send them to buy other things and do some tests outside. Forgetting that it’s not even the HCWs duty to keep those things in the hospital.
Someone was raped and murdered in her home and a grown ass man is saying if she cooperated and didn’t put up a resistance, they would have spared her life. A dead dog is better than some of you.
Pls pray about everything. Your mood swings, your temper, your ego, your insecurities, your mindset, your self-love, your emotional state, your environment, your relationships, your lack of motivation, your lack of execution, your attraction to bad people. PRAY ABOUT IT ALL
A man who has zero intention of cheating has no emotional reaction to “I cheat back” from women.
The statement is irrelevant to his life. It’s like telling a vegetarian “if you eat beef, I’ll eat beef too.”
He shrugs. He’s not eating beef. The threat doesn’t touch him.
He doesn’t sit down to write five paragraphs explaining why the statement is unfair, why women shouldn’t say it, why it reveals her character, why bride price changes the equation. He just keeps living his vegetarian life.
But the moment a man writes paragraphs defending his right to not be threatened with “I cheat back,” he has shown Twitter that the threat actually lands somewhere in him.
It touched something.
If it didn’t apply to him, it wouldn’t sting. The sting itself is the confession.
A man with nothing to hide says “that doesn’t concern me, I’m not cheating” and moves on. A man with something to hide writes a manifesto about virginity, bride price, and society. 😂
You exposed yourself by reacting. If it truly didn’t concern you, you wouldn’t have reacted at all.
The paragraphs you’re writing to defend your right to cheat without consequence turn them into paragraphs that strengthen the marriage instead.
Yagazie!
You said your wife cheated on you when we didn’t ask you- we believed you.
You said she accused you of DV even when we still didn’t ask you - we believed you.
You came out again and gave us news that she was deported to Nigeria and has gone back to her father’s house we still believed you.
Now she came out to say she didn’t cheat on you, and instead of you to continue the gist we didn’t ask you to start, you now say you no do again.
Dear Ugo, you must finish the gist you started.
We must see the end of it.
Show us evidence.
You brought issues meant to be kept discreet, and now you want to back out 😂😂😂😂 it’s not possible.
