This is what the skill revolution and reinvention of Igbo Apprenticeship (Igba Boi) will look like in the South East. Firstly, in the first month of their cohort, everyone gets a core foundation of basic skills in bricklaying, welding, plumbing, carpentry, auto mechanics, electricals, HVAC, tiling and POP. Also, we will teach them precision and quality as a core. This is where we have lacked a lot as a people. Then they are then assigned to selected industries according to their preferred proficiency. They engage in 3 weeks practicals (In the companies) and one week theoretical (in class trainings). The in class trainings will then include other areas like accounting, marketing, organizational setup, structuring a business etc. A final exam will be written after the program which we will give them a certificate. The program may last between 6 months to 12 months. They will also be paid while they learn and after the program they get “settled” with N5 million each, which they can use to start their own business. What do you think?

@Farida_N @FEGnassingbe The most populous nation on the continent are living in bubbles. True definition of "ignorance is bliss"

Nothing brings me more joy than someone thinking they’re attacking me by insulting @FEGnassingbe. A man whose entire CV reads: Son, MP, Minister , President, in that order, by birthright, not merit. A man whose only demonstrable skill in 60 years of existence is showing up to a job his father left him in a will. And since we’re having fun: I am now going to be very deliberate about irritating the most populous nations on this continent, just so they too can become free enemies of a government that has confused a republic with a family estate. Thank you kindly for your support. A win is a win…

Reparation, in the context of conflict resolution and transitional justice, means taking concrete and sustained actions to repair the damage caused by a specific harm. It is not a reimbursement, not charity, and not a check written to make an uncomfortable conversation disappear. When a worker loses his leg in a factory accident, the compensation he receives does not restore the limb, does not erase the years of pain, does not give back the life he might have lived at full capacity. What it does is acknowledge that a harm occurred, that someone was responsible for it, and that the consequences of that harm, which continue to shape the victim's daily existence long after the incident itself, deserve to be addressed in a material and sustained way. The same principle applies when a family loses a breadwinner to negligence. The insurance settlement does not bring the dead back to life. It recognizes the ongoing damage, the disrupted futures, and the cascading effects of a loss that reverberates across time. This is why the argument that reparations cannot undo slavery or colonization is not only intellectually lazy but deliberately evasive. Nobody ever claimed that they could. The question was never whether money or policy could resurrect the dead, restore the kingdoms that were dismantled, or return the five centuries that were stolen. The question is whether the parties responsible for producing a documented, measurable, and still-active architecture of global inequality have any obligation to participate in repairing its effects. And the answer, by every standard of moral reasoning, legal precedent, and political logic that the Western world has ever applied to itself, is unambiguously yes. Because here is what those who evade this question prefer not to discuss: reparations are not a radical or exotic demand invented by African grievance. They are a principle that the West has applied repeatedly, consistently, and generously, when the victims happened to be of the right origin. Germany has paid billions in reparations to Holocaust survivors and their descendants, and continues to do so. That genocide lasted less than a decade. It financed memory programs, educational initiatives, and political arrangements that shaped the international standing of an entire state. No German politician stood up and said, "the past is the past, let us move forward." No European intellectual produced op-eds arguing that the victims should look inward before demanding accountability. The framework of repair was applied without hesitation, because the victims were recognized as fully human, their suffering was recognized as historical fact, and the responsibility was acknowledged as non-negotiable.

Barely three weeks ago, I published the following piece in French and spoke about how African governments gaslight their youth , promising them that education is the path out of poverty, then creating no job opportunities, and telling them their failure is a result of their laziness. And today, I stumble on this comment made by Ghanaian MP. Here’s the translated article: Growing up in most of our African countries, fundamentally impoverished, means hearing one simple message: to live with dignity and escape poverty, the clear path is education. Not just any type of education: the academic one. Parents invest everything they have: time, money, hope, into their children’s schooling, convinced that it is the key to freedom and the way out of misery. They sacrifice themselves, pay for private lessons, hire tutors, sometimes at the cost of their own survival, stretching every resource, in the hope that one day this investment will bear fruit. The promise made to the youths is simple: work hard, focus on your studies, and the world will open up to you. But the world, in these countries, is not built to receive these efforts. Schools are often broken, incapable of functioning properly. Teachers go on strike for lack of pay. Infrastructure crumbles. After years of effort, the child, now an adult, emerges with a diploma in hand. And then comes the brutal reckoning: no jobs. The market is saturated and these young people sometimes find themselves learning a trade, work once reserved for those who had “failed” at school. The skills once deemed inferior become their only refuge. This is where the psychological manipulation begins, what is known in English as gaslighting. The system has betrayed them, because the state failed to create the necessary opportunities. It now seeks to make them believe that their failure is personal. They are told, repeatedly, that it is not the government’s job to employ them, that their difficulty finding work is the result of their laziness, lack of creativity and that true success lies in entrepreneurship: they must “create their own opportunities.” Entrepreneurship, presented as emancipatory, is often nothing but a veil. It conceals a structural failure and transfers the weight of the system’s collapse onto the shoulders of young people who were promised the world if they followed the rules. The narrative is so skillfully crafted that it sounds like wisdom. It urges them to work hard, be self-reliant, take charge of their own lives. But behind this illusion lies a cruelty that dares not speak its name. The failure is not theirs alone; it belongs equally to the society and to the state itself. We live in a world where injustice hides behind the language of personal development. To survive, young people must carry the weight of a state that cannot or will not support them. Many do so, in silence, believing they have failed when in fact they have simply been betrayed. The bankruptcy of the state and the betrayal of trust can no longer remain invisible. We must fight for a society where education is not a gamble on hope but a genuine bridge to opportunity, where governments build real pathways for their citizens to prosper, and where young people are no longer blamed for a system that crushes them. One that was never designed to ensure their flourishing. Farida Bemba Nabourema, A Disillusioned African Citizen!

@Nig_Farmer Why the sudden waves of concerns going around New gig?

Let's assume Peter Obi wins the 2027 election - is there anything he will do differently than what Tinubu is doing? Repeat same politicians esp those in Buhari Govt Atiku, El rufai, even Aregbesola 😂🤡 Abi no be same politicians dey ADC? Abi na different people dey there?

@Farida_N People will look you in the eyes and call you a conspiracy theorist. I don't blame them, i would've done the same years ago

Our school system failed us miserably on this continent and the evidence is that we are still, in the year 2026, explaining colonialism, neocolonialism and neoliberalism to people who have access to the same internet we do. Still drawing the straight line between the assassination of our independence leaders, their replacement by colonial thugs and armed compradors trained to hate and dispossess their own people for tokens, the deliberate engineering of our apathy through religion and entertainment, and the current global order of extraction that runs on African exploitation. It is like explaining calculus to someone who is still negotiating with the concept of numbers. The intellectual labor is bottomless and the audience is inexhaustible. And the more I do it, the more I suspect that is precisely the design. Not a failure of the system but a feature of it. Keep the activists buried in debunking myths about African inferiority, keep us perpetually performing the basics for the unconvinced, so that we never get to the actual work of dismantling the machinery itself. We are not losing because we lack the argument. We are losing because we are too busy making it.

Do you know that French-speaking countries in Africa take $500 million in loans every year just to buy school books from France? Not laboratories, not research centers, not teachers’ training: poor quality school books filled with caricatured faces of Africans and racial slurs. Borrowed money, disbursed directly to French publishing houses, in exchange for textbooks written in Paris, printed in Paris, and shipped to African children who will spend their entire education believing this is normal. According to French state media @lemondefr in an article published 12 years ago, the same French parent company, Hatier and its subsidiary Hachette, controls roughly 95% of the school manual market across “Francophone” Africa. And how do we fund such purchases annually through loans from the World Bank. And again, am not making up. It is clearly explained in the article published by Le Monde. Our nations do not even touch the money. The $500 million are disbursed directly as loans from the World Bank on behalf of our countries to the French publishing company annually to produce and print in France poorly written, racist school books that are shipped to our countries. We are the only enslaved people on the planet that take loans with interests to subsidize our own enslavement. I am telling Angola this because Angola just made French compulsory in its primary schools from age ten. And I want to be precise about what it has joined, because imprecision is exactly what keeps these arrangements alive. Two years ago, Macron stood in front of cameras and presented a government memo laying out exactly how Paris intended to arrest its accelerating loss of influence across Africa. The remedy prescribed was linguistic and cultural penetration of non-Francophone countries. Angola and Ghana were designated priority targets. João Lourenço and Nana Akufo-Addo were identified as men whose cooperation could be secured. France came bearing curricula, resources, and a check. Both men apparently found the terms reasonable although may be luckily for Ghana, it is yet to be deployed. Here is what is worth understanding about that check: France is not being generous. France is being desperate. The survival of French hegemony depends, structurally and existentially, on maintaining influence in Africa. 70% of all French speakers on earth live on this continent, concentrated in some of the poorest countries in the planet. Without Africa, the “Francophone world” is a provincial club with a prestigious accent and a shrinking membership. France does not “invest” in African language education because it loves Africa. It does so because without Africa, France is a medium-sized European country with a permanent UN Security Council seat it would struggle to justify. And Angola, a country whose economy is now robust enough that Portuguese nationals emigrate there looking for work, decided that the gift it would give its ten-year-old children is access to a linguistic corridor that covers less than 8% of global scholarship and connects them to none of their SADC neighbors. South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania: all English-speaking. The pragmatic choice, setting aside entirely the more principled argument for an African language, was obvious. The saddest part is not that France keeps trying. France’s self-interest is consistent and entirely predictable. The saddest part is that some of our leaders keep making it so effortless for Paris to buy our dignity.

@Farida_N Using one of our face against us. Always one of their program, a program we haven't really figured out how to shutdown

I will be brief, because you have not earned length. You have constructed, with what I can only assume you consider considerable intellectual effort, an argument that manages to be simultaneously racist against yourself, logically illiterate, and tediously unoriginal, which is a genuinely rare combination and perhaps the only remarkable thing about you. Let us start with your central thesis, which is that acknowledging the documented, historically verified, archivally confirmed mechanisms of colonial extraction makes one a white supremacist, while believing that Black people are cognitively inferior makes one a clear-eyed realist. I want you to sit with that. Take your time. Ask a trusted adult to help you if needed. Your argument is essentially that I think too highly of white people by accurately describing what they did, while you think appropriately of them by voluntarily kneeling before a hierarchy you have decided is biological rather than constructed. You have confused the analysis of power with the worship of it, which tells me less about colonialism and considerably more about the quality of your reading comprehension. You then invite anyone to argue against your claim of Black cognitive inferiority, as though you have issued an intellectual challenge rather than simply repeated, word for word, the foundational propaganda of the slave trade, the same propaganda that was used to justify every atrocity I documented, the same pseudo-science that filled the European museums I mentioned, measuring skulls and calling it scholarship. You are not being provocative. You are being a footnote. A very old, very tired, very well-refuted footnote that history has already processed and discarded, and which you have retrieved from the bin and presented as an original thought. What you are describing as cognitive realism is, in clinical terms, internalized racial inferiority, which is not an opinion but a documented psychological phenomenon with an extensive literature, produced by exactly the conditions I wrote about. You are not holding a mirror to anyone. You are a case study walking around with the mirror pointed at yourself, unable to see that the face looking back was not drawn by nature but by a system, and that you have been defending that system with such enthusiasm that you have mistaken your chains for a personality. The tragedy is not that you exist. Every generation produces people who are this spectacularly useful to the forces that diminish them. The tragedy is that you are proud of it, that you have dressed your capitulation in the language of clarity, your submission in the costume of strength, and your internalized self-contempt in the performance of intellectual courage, and that somewhere in the architecture of that confusion, you genuinely cannot tell the difference. I do not ask you to agree with me. I ask only that the next time you feel moved to parade your conclusions in public, you first spend fifteen minutes with a book that was not written to confirm them. Any book. The bar, as I think you have amply demonstrated today, need not be high.

Sahel States Back Ghana’s UN Resolution Linking Slavery to Modern Exploitation On 25 March 2026, during the commemoration of the abolition of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, Burkina Faso, a leading member of the Confederation of Sahel States, alongside the Republic of Niger, welcomed Ghana’s resolution at the United Nations classifying slavery and the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crimes against humanity. During his address, Saïdou Zongo, Burkina Faso’s permanent representative to the UN, highlighted the question of reparative justice from European colonizers. He drew a direct line between past and present forms of exploitation: where human lives were once traded, today resources are extracted through instability, conflict, and external interference, often perpetrated by UN member states historically linked to slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. While expressing gratitude to Ghana for raising the issue, Zongo further reiterated, on behalf of the Sahelian states, the bloc’s commitment to supporting any initiative aimed at advancing reparative justice for the African continent.

Who Abolished Slavery? You think there is no correlation between how we Africans have been engineered to look down on ourselves and to genuflect before those who oppressed us?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Who abolished slavery? Ask any fourth grader in Togo, and the answer comes without hesitation: Victor Schoelcher. Wake me from a deep sleep with that question, and my subconscious will answer before my eyes are open: Victor Schoelcher. Twenty-five years after leaving primary school, the colonial curriculum still lives in me like a reflex. That is what was planted, and that is how thoroughly it took root. It is only the adult brain, the one lucky enough to stumble upon other literatures, other histories, other archives, that comes afterward to contest the first answer. But the first answer is always his name.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ That is what colonial schools taught. That is what post-colonial schools taught. That is what is still being taught today, by people placed in power precisely to ensure that the curriculum of self-erasure continues undisturbed. Because in Francophone Africa, the abolition of slavery has one face, and it is this French man. And in twenty years of academic formation on this continent, from primary school through university, including my own years as a history major at the University of Lome, not once, not in a single classroom, not in a single textbook, was the Haitian Revolution mentioned. Not once were we told that enslaved Black people organized, fought, and defeated the French army, that Haïti became the first Black nation in colonial Americas and the first nation in modern history to defeat a European power that practiced slavery through the resistance of the very people it had enslaved. Twenty years of “schooling”: not one mention of that historical fact. And this is just one example, on just one subject. Because not once throughout my entire education in Togo was I introduced to a Black mathematician, a Black physicist, a Black inventor, a Black philosopher. Not once. But for those of us who were cursed with France, the French apparently discovered more than 70% of world knowledge and wrote more than 80% of the world’s books, because our curriculum was designed to make us believe that the smartest, most resourceful, most intellectually gifted humans to have ever walked the surface of this earth were French. When the data actually tells you that France contributes approximately 2% of the world’s scientific innovation. Two percent. And we were built, from childhood, to worship that two percent as the totality of human genius. I imagine the same arithmetic applied to British, or Portuguese colonies, just with a different flag. This just one subject. There are decades of damage underneath it, layered and compounding. Which is why it is genuinely exhausting to wake up every single day and be expected to debate, with patience and good faith, people who were produced by these laboratories of engineered ignorance and who are entirely convinced that what was done to their minds was an education.
