I put on my fraud detection hat whenever I see a 22 year old Tech bro who supposedly dropped out of college to fund an AI startup. In this case, what I found about this Kled guy is incredibly disturbing. K5 Global is Kled’s lead investor. K5 Global is a firm that frequently invests alongside the Palantir and Thiel network. Another Kled backer, Aglaé Ventures, owned by Bernard Arnault, has a massive AI portfolio that intersects with the same labs that Palantir’s AIP integrates with. Basically, Kled is the Data Harvester for Palantir. Their job is to mobilize hundreds of thousands of gig workers, mostly from the Global South, to upload personal photos, videos, and documents. They convert raw human life into a machine readable product. Their clients like Palantir act as the Data Refinery. Palantir’s software, specifically Foundry and AIP, is designed to take that data and make it actionable for governments and corporations to put into global surveillance and military use. We can safely conclude that this Kled guy and other similar AI startups harvesting user data are human meat shields. They are specifically set up and funded to do the dirty work for Silicon Valley tech empires. Understand that these Large AI labs are currently being sued by artists, writers, and publishers for stealing data through web scraping. To win these court cases, OpenAI and Palantir need to prove they have clean, consented data. Buying a dataset from Kled, where every user signed a 50 page digital consent form in exchange for $20, gives these billion dollar tech companies a free pass. Also, imagine if Palantir, a company already criticized for government surveillance and US military war campaigns, offered to pay people in developing countries to film their living rooms and daily activities. It would look like a global surveillance network. By using Kled as a middleman, they get the same data but keep their hands clean in the public eye. Even though we cannot verify his claim of Nigerians defrauding his company, what we can verify is that he is an industry plant. He is set up to allow AI data labs to continue harvesting user data for global surveillance and military use.

$10 million btw

PETER OBI 🇳🇬PUBLIC PURSE VS PERSONAL GIVING: WHO FUNDED HEALTHCARE ?

There is a TOTAL BREAKDOWN of Law and Order in this country. JAMB is lying, CBN is lying, FIRS is lying, Senate is lying, Judiciary lying, all parastatals are lying because a lying thief is the president. Total nonsense!

How Abacha Challenged the West This is the part most narratives bury under the corruption story: 1. He rebuilt Nigeria’s foreign reserves under sanctions. Under Abacha, Nigeria’s foreign reserves grew from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by 1998, and external debt was reduced from $36 billion to $27 billion — all while under Western sanctions and with oil averaging around $15 per barrel. That’s a significant economic feat that contradicted the IMF’s structural adjustment playbook entirely. 2. He rejected IMF conditionalities. He brought the privatization programs of the Babangida administration — IMF-aligned programs — to a halt, and reduced inflation from 54% to 8.5% without following Western prescriptions. This was a direct rebuke of the Bretton Woods institutions. The West wanted SAPs; Abacha refused them. 3. He defied UN sanctions on Libya. In 1997, Muammar Gaddafi’s West African tour to Abacha directly infringed UN sanctions on Libya, and Abacha received him publicly with thousands of supporters in Kano. This was a deliberate signal — Abacha was building an alternative bloc with leaders the West was trying to isolate. 4. He was the backbone of ECOMOG. Under Abacha, Nigeria contributed the largest troops and resources to West African peacekeeping in Liberia and Sierra Leone, often funding operations alone when other regional powers hesitated. Former Ghanaian President Jerry Rawlings is quoted saying: “It was Nigeria under Abacha that gave ECOWAS its backbone. Without that courage, West Africa would have descended into chaos.” This regional military muscle made Nigeria structurally dominant in a way that threatened Western-mediated stability frameworks 5. He was consolidating permanent power. By April 1998, Abacha had coerced all five political parties to endorse him as the sole presidential candidate. A Nigeria locked permanently under an anti-IMF, pro-Gaddafi, ECOMOG-funding strongman with $9.6 billion in reserves and no appetite for Western financial institutions was a fundamentally different geopolitical problem than a temporarily compliant dictator they could manage.

They want to ‘save’ Nigerian Christians while bombing Lebanon to smithereens

Not having stable electricity means that your water supply would be epileptic and so you wouldn’t be able to take showers with your partner because you’re managing water. This means that you’d have nobody to help you wash your back and your back will be dirty. This might cause friction in the bedroom when your partner is kissing your back and they taste dirt. Get your PVC, we have to vote this party out so your relationship can be saved.

I was in an Uber this morning with a Nigerian driver who was going on about how Iran is a terrorist state. Gave his ass 1 star

One day in September 2001, when I was a tiny 11 year-old starting secondary school at Atlantic Hall, back when it was located at Maryland, Mrs Adepoju the class teacher announced a group exercise as an icebreaker. All of us were to write our dream holiday location on a piece of paper, and one by one we would read out what we had written. She started from the other end of the class, so I got to hear multiple answers before it got to my turn. The answers were basically "London", "America", "London", "London", "London", "London", "London", "UK", "London", "London"... Now for context, I was already reasonably well travelled at the time, and even though my family was not the kind to go off on a jaunt to London at every given opportunity like some of my new peers, I had been privileged to travel fairly extensively around Africa, and I was visually familiar enough with the places being mentioned to know that people from London generally looked forward to going on holiday to warmer parts of the world in Africa, Asia, Southern Europe and Latin America. I also knew from personal experience that people from "America" and "London" could be found in their thousands enjoying holidays in Lomé, Zanzibar and Accra. You would often find me as the sole African kid surrounded by white kids playing together in the lobby or private beachfront of Lomé's Hotel Deux Fevrier or Hotel Sarakawa whenever my family was in town. In addition, the travel sections in the Newsweek, TIME and Readers Digest magazines that my dad bought every week made it clear that safari tours in Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa were among the most highly rated holiday experiences on earth. These experiences were so exclusive that it would actually be easier for a Nigerian to take a trip to London than to go on safari in Kenya. I'm providing all this context to explain why it seemed pretty obvious to me that writing "Kenya" as my dream holiday destination was a valid and reasonable choice. Instead, what happened when it got to my turn was that I read out "safari in Kenya" - and the rest of the class burst into laughter and giggles. I was utterly confused at first. Did they not hear me correctly? They did. As one of them helpfully explained in between subsequent chortles, "We're talking about places like London and New York, what is *Kenya*?" The inference of course, was that *Kenya*, located in Africa as it was, did not belong in the same conversation as "London" when discussing destinations. What constituted a "dream holiday" for these children of Nigeria's elite was a Virgin Atlantic economy class ticket to Gatwick Airport, a 4-week stay with their NHS auxillary nurse aunty and her 2 kids in a cramped 2-bedroom council terrace in High Wycombe, and an Oxford Street shopping rampage yielding 50kg of excess baggage for the return trip, filled with WH Smith pencils and Primark clothes to show off to each other at the end of term party. While the actual inhabitants of London used monthly payment plans to save up for their once in a lifetime Thomson package holiday tour in Kenya, these ghettofabulous sons and daughters of the Nigerian "elite" looked forward to a cold, uncomfortable experience on a miserable umbrella island as their "dream holiday". Not because it was a dream holiday, but because that was the social expectation they all enforced on each other. And if you knew better, they *laughed* you. That day was the first time I experienced something that I have gone on to experience many, many times over the intervening 25 years of my Nigerian life - the existential dread of being surrounded by people whose information level is so far below the one I operate with that we genuinely have almost nothing in common. It's an experience I am so used to that I no longer bother to explain myself to Nigerians. The people who think that London is a dream holiday destination definitely think that "Iran is a terrorist regime that murdered 30,000 protesters." Of course they do.

BREAKING President Xi Jinping, wearing military attire, on Wednesday inaugurated a training session for senior PLA officers at the National Defense University in Beijing, saying: Our Communist Party is a Marxist party that always represents the fundamental interests of the broadest segments of the people. It does not seek any interests of its own, and all ideas or actions aimed at personal gain or involving corruption are entirely incompatible with the Party’s nature and mission.
