An uncomfortable truth: “Any crime that is punishable by a fine is basically legal for those who can afford it.”

Colonization didn’t end in Africa. It was privatized. Instead of governors, you got CEOs, instead of colonial officers, you got IMF conditions. The extraction never stopped they just changed the uniform

No people were ever liberated by prayer alone. Freedom has always been earned through struggle, sacrifice, and action.

Moniepoint CEO doesn't want to pay Nigerians the same salary paid in Canada or US. Hmmm 🤔. I'm glad you people are having this conversation, because what Moniepoint CEO is doing is exactly how the West has treated African for the last 100 years. Nigerians/Africans are not expected to earn less by accident. It is a deliberate design by the capitalist West for the purpose of maximizing profits. *Your currency needs to be devalued. *Your unemployment rate needs to be super high. All for your labour to be cheap. After donating your cheap labour in the supply chain to reduce production cost, the products can then be exported to beat your domestic production. Now, it's easy to understand because a Nigerian company is taking advantage of it. This is exactly the point I have been making. Nigerians/Africans only understand prejudice, injustice, or corruption when committed by someone who looks like them.
Cinderella Man@Osi_Suave

Moniepoint CEO dey muzz me Ask him to pay global salaries he will start to stammer. That you cant find 500 people to fill roles is bullshit. He should just say he cant find people who will take a mountain of work for shitty salaries.

Africa’s challenges will not be solved from abroad. Lasting solutions must be shaped by Africans, for Africans

Africa didn’t inherit democracy, it inherited the infrastructure of extraction dressed up as democracy. The borders, the institutions, the currencies, the debt structures all designed by colonial powers and handed back with a flag and a ballot box.

Wish it wasn’t discontinued. The traditional practice of using a camel-mounted man to blow the kaakaki trumpet to welcome planes at Kano Airport (now Malam Aminu Kano International Airport) was discontinued in the early 1980s.

Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰 Journalists hold power to account, uncover injustice, and keep citizens informed often at great personal risk. This #WorldPressFreedomDay, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting journalists and defending independent media. Because free press is the foundation of democracy.

Colonial addicts don't understand why Spain and Portugal went off to rape half the planet in the 1500s. It's because (in all honesty) they were not nearly as economically self-sufficient as Ming dynasty China was. The same was also true for Songhai, which was as big as Western Europe. They didn't rush off to colonize Portugal because--they didn't need to. Oyo Kingdom? Same. Benin? Same. Europe only became as huge as it did because of international piracy, and Europeans became pirates because they didn't have shit beforehand.

Colonial fanboys when the Chinese didn't use their ships to invade other nations and gunpowder to kill their innocent inhabitants.

You cannot understand the climate crisis if you don’t understand colonialism. You cannot understand colonialism if you don’t understand capitalism. Everything is connected. There is a subtle fabric of oppression that links every form of suffering around the world.

The really unforgivable thing is not the violence. Violence in war is ancient. Every civilization has it. Every people has done it and suffered it. The unforgivable thing is the innocence maintained in the face of it. The German population after World War II was forced into a reckoning. Photographs. Trials. The physical, documented, undeniable architecture of what had been done in their name. Many resisted the reckoning. Many said they didn't know. But the reckoning was imposed. It was institutionalized. Guilt became a structural feature of German civic identity. The United States has never had its reckoning. Not for Vietnam. Not for the coups. Not for the chemical weapons. Not for the prison camps. Not for the drone programs. Not for the hundred other things that are documented in their own government's declassified files. The reckoning keeps not arriving. And so the innocence stays intact. And so the next war is entered with the same clean conscience. And so the cycle never breaks from the inside. It only breaks when the outside stops accepting it. We stopped accepting it a long time ago. We're still waiting for them to notice.

To understand the full scope of any given conflict being waged in Africa, one has to look at who is funding the conflicts and supplying the weapons. The continued division and instability in Africa is profitable to those who continue to benefit from it.

PO would make an excellent administrator under a revolutionary government that has seized power. But I fear he doesn't have the stomach to go full scorched earth and fight the colonizers. My read is that he's more of a Deng Xiaoping. Stubborn as hell, with brilliant ideas that can transform Nigeria. But he needs someone to do the dirty work first. Someone who will send the traitors to the gallows without trial, nationalize our minerals and oil with haste and spit in the eye of the colonizers. He'd need a Mao Zedong essentially.
David Hundeyin@DavidHundeyin

The basic issue with P.O. is the same issue I had until 2024 - he refuses to acknowledge that his platform is fundamentally anti-imperial. The idea of moving Africa's largest population "from consumption to production" is a fundamentally anti-imperialism idea. The existence of Nigeria as a consumer-import-dependent, natural resource exporter that spends resource export revenues on imported finished goods without having an industrial base to manufacture its own, is not an accident of "poor leadership" - it is the direct goal of neo-colonialism. When instead of manufacturing goods, Nigeria instead haemorrhages its natural resources and human talent, and only receives some insufficient USD resource rents in return, this ensured that Nigeria and its African contemporaries remain artificially poor, while people who live in places where for 6 months every year, the ground freezes solid and daily sunshine is only 5 hours, remain artificially wealthy. That is the core of the Euro-American imperial system. The military branch of this imperial system is called NATO. The governance/policy arms are called IMF/World Bank. The economic arm is called WTO. The academic/social arms are the Foundations, NGOs, policy research institutes and universities. This is what P.O. is actually up against. So if P.O. says he wants to "move Nigeria from consumption to production", it is the same thing as declaring war on Europe, its sugar daddy in Washington, and its spiritual leader in Tel-Aviv. And if you're going to do that, you need to be fully locked in, and you need to be prepared to lose everything of yours that is under the empire's control. I finally realised this in June 2024, and that's why I quit my £40,000/year project management job in Newcastle, packed up all my shit, withdrew all my money, gave up my 5-year UK visa, and bought a 1-way ticket back to Accra. As I am now, if and when I end up in a position of power, there is zero leverage that any white man anywhere on earth can use to blackmail me into maintaining this imperial system. I don't have property in their countries. I don't have money in their banking systems. I don't have children in their schools and universities. The most they can do is ban me from their social media. P.O. does not want to do the same. His children are comfortable and integrated pseudo-westerners. He has property in the UK. He has money in their banks. He enjoys that regular suite at the Hilton Paddington too much. He's trying to run on a revolutionary, anti-imperialist platform while pretending that he is a friend of the Western world who doesn't want to pick a fight with them. The problem with this is that oyibo people don't play those games. These people murdered Patrice Lumumba over a speech. You might not see yourself as their enemy, but they DEFINITELY know on what side their bread is buttered, and they know that a Nigeria where ships berth everyday, offload consumer goods, and sail away only with natural resources or empty, is a Nigeria that remains strategically poor and profitable to their empire. They KNOW that a Nigeria under Peter Obi where education and health are properly funded, where Chinese-inspired industrial policy is enacted, where railways and steel production move to the top of national priority, and where those ships eventually start sailing from Nigeria laden with manufactured goods for export to the world, is the Nigeria that will destroy their entire parasitic way of life. And I'm sure P.O. knows this too, but he's invested in pretending that he can play both sides, the same way Patrice Lumumba wasted valuable time doing "I am not a Communist" and trying to play nice with the same people until they killed his ass, dissolved him in sulphuric acid, and kept his gold tooth as a souvenir. That's why I've moved on from the Obidient thing. Both he and his supporters don't know what they want and I'm exhausted. Even his Bible says "How long will you be limping between two opinions?"
