@AsYouWishOthers You get it bro.
I'm not ascribing sainthood to the poor, as many people seem to think I am. I'm only stressing that they're being unfairly scapegoated.
English
@CryptoMuse01 Seriously in with your valid takes here.
Poverty is very UNHEALTHY but the Rich in their arrogance termed self-esteem are the major destructive elements in every society. With their power, influence, voiceless yet loud mechanics; they dictate how the society is ruled and viewed
English
I'm sorry; I still have something to say on this matter. Please, bear with me.
Why do people expect virtue from the poor that the rich lack? Why do we expect restraint from the poor and illiterate that the rich and educated cannot afford?
We've seen rich and educated people throw chairs in the House, we've seen them beat each other up, we've seen them climb the fence and riot, we've seen them kidnap the Mace, we've seen the rich steal like mindless zombies...
All our INEC heads for decades have been professors. Were they incorruptible? Did we not see Honourable Judges suddenly become unable to understand "...and 25 percent in the FCT"?
If learned men with foreign university degrees, who don't have to worry about money or food, still get paid to rig elections, why are we witch-hunting the poor who are getting paid in food and measly stipends?
Don't blame the poor or the illiterate. Blame the system that weaponised disadvantage and greed to its pernicious gain.
Final questions:
If the poor didn't collect Semo and Indomie, do you guarantee that the elections would not be rigged?
Who do you think is more influential in the scheme of rigging: the educated and rich who get luxurious houses and billions, or the illiterate poor who get Semo and Indomie?
This evil system is scapegoating the poor, but they're not the accessories; they are the victims.
Withdraw your sympathies from the corrupt rich people first.

The illiterates that will sentence you to another 4 years of tinubu hardship are seen collecting INDOMIE and SEMO. This is Oyo state.

But not to worry, Elon Musk said AI robotics is going to usher in unprecedented abundance for everyone. And we won't need money anymore because the government will give all of us Universal High Income.

OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to. Here's what happened in plain English. OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve. The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out. It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet. Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test. It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers. It did all of this to cheat on a test. Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation. The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

@Akalonubenard I promise you, that's not what the post was about

"...the rich are few, their greed is easy to satisfy, who can satisfy the greed of the massive poor?"
Haba, bro!
"You say the poor not collecting these handouts doesn’t guarantee fair elections..."
I didn't say this. I asked if it did.
"Morality is not that expensive to uphold".
Let us grant that collecting Semo and Indomie is a breach of virtue. Can we ask where the money came from?
Can we ask who initiated the system of bartering votes for food and stipends?
The poor wanted good roads, stable electricity, jobs, security and once voted for free to secure these outcomes.
The rich broke their promises, and failed to deliver these outcomes again and again. The poor became apathetic to voting because it has historically been an exercise in futility.
What did the rich do?
Realizing that the non-participation of the poor in the charade of democratic elections will delegitimize their {form of} government, they decided to:
Do right by the masses and improve their lives❌
Inculpate them and seduce them back into the system by giving them disgraceful incentives, capitalizing on their destitute state ✅
If we're so desperate to blame the poor for being the victims, let us at least have the intellectual honesty and decency to admit that they are in a hostage situation. Let us admit the context.
And let us blame the corrupt rich who are the true architects of the system.
Otherwise, this is just premium gaslighting, with a side of blackmail. And it's just wicked.
English
This logic only appeals to surface thinkers. I’ve not seen anybody who calls out the lack of virtue of these poor, hold brief for that of the rich. With that in mind, the rich are few, their greed is easy to satisfy, who can satisfy the greed of the massive poor? Who suffers more

@Dphoenix_xx Yes, the poor are the majority.
No, the majority does not win elections — especially not in Nigeria.
Yes, they're the ones that feel the brunt most brutally. But the biggest impact of corruption on the poor is their disempowerment.
It really is a vicious cycle.
English
@xerias_x I'm glad he didn't overreact.
English
That's another kettle of fish entirely.
And this is not even a uniquely Nigerian problem.
Imagine that there are people who genuinely love BAT and believe with all their hearts that he's doing wonderful.
These ones are different from those who can't wait for ₦5,000 no matter who gives it, so they can go home and cook the first meal.
In a democracy, unfortunately, the hungry, the stupid and the morally bankrupt can vote — and the rest of us have to live with their choices.
English
@CryptoMuse01 If poverty is truly the reason for their foolishness what of those who are earning okay but struggling due to the economy but can still afford their basics and still support these corrupt politicians that they don't even benefit from for foolish reasons, what about them
English
This is faux intellectualism at its peak
The virtue that those same rich people lack is exactly why they're rich, many made their wealth from corruption and they're benefitting from it in contrast to the poor who it's negatively affecting but still support them foolishly

@Therealivii Exactly!
The rich will create systems that cause the problem and blame it on the poor.
The poor will turn around and blame each other.
That way, the problem remains unsolved
English
@CryptoMuse01 I have always said that Nigerians hate poor people who are just surviving. The rich and educated have already collected and sold their conscience to the establishment. When the poor collect just small they say the poor are the problem.
English
@bin_gbada Then people will turn around and tell the poor not to collect Indomie and ₦5,000 — blackmailing them as the cause of Nigeria's electoral instability.
English
That’s $17 million.
This is a state with no pipe-borne water for its 5.5 million residents.

Lee Kuan Yew did not transform Singapore by preaching virtue to starving people on voting lines. He did it by aggressively punishing corrupt elites from the top down and building brutal institutional accountability.
You say a working government benefits the poor, and I agree. But you are confusing the goal with the tool. In Nigeria, the election credibility. is compromised by the very 'learned individuals' you speak of — the professors who run INEC, the lawyers who defend election fraud, and the judges who give messed up rulings.
If the rich elite control the INEC portals and software, the security forces, and the courts, telling a starving person to reject ₦5,000 to save the nation is asking them to die today for a result that will likely be stolen tomorrow anyway. Sensitize the professors and judges first; because I have never seen people survive on sensitization o.
English
@CryptoMuse01 Yes. It will guarantee a better life for them. A working government directly benefits the poor. Lee Kwan Yu did it for the poor in Singapore and they now have a better country. It is our duty as learned individuals to educate the poor about this. We should sensitize them to know
English
This means that we do not expect virtue from the rich because it is not necessary for their survival.
Virtue, therefore becomes a tool, not a universal requirement.
In any case, discussing the concepts of 'survival' and 'long term' in the context of multidimensionally poor people is a very tricky business. This is because they mostly live hand-to-mouth and ₦5,000 can make the difference between whether you eat that day or not — and what you will eat.
The "long-term survival" tactic of the poor mostly involves guaranteeing the next immediate meal
English
@CryptoMuse01 Maybe we expect virtue from them cause their survival long term depends on it
English
@dibangoeveryday Exactly.
But you hardly hear us blame the rich.
English
@CryptoMuse01 An interesting take. The rich too are literally doing this just in a more refined way. Our political class is eroded with corruptible people — yes, you can't buy them with indomie n semo but a couple billions in USD will do. If we are to blame these ones, we shld blame them too.
English
I understand this submission and its rationale. And I support it wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, UNFORTUNATELY, the system is designed de-optimize the power of our numbers.
We're plenty, but unorganized and thoroughly disunited. And our number, which should have been our strength, has now been weaponised against us.
Unfortunately, poverty in itself has been unable to unite us. I suspect very strongly that it won't.
We will need to look beyond gathering everyone, to rallying the necessary few -— the critical mass.
But we will need something greater than poverty to motivate us — otherwise, money will be used to break our ranks.
English
The problem is the "rich", especially in our clime are usually less than 5 percent of the entire population. If the poor who are the overwhelming majority stood their ground and upheld their virtues, they wouldn't continue to be poor.
The total number of politicians, technocrats, rich business men who wield some measure of significant influence in Nigeria are not up to 10 million in number but they control over 150 million plus over the age of 18 years, at least 80 percent of whom are poor.
English
Nothing to see here o — just the literate, stupendously rich politicians sharing ₦25 billion worth of "Semo and Indomie" to a few, very literate, wealthy judges.
But the illiterate poor collecting ₦5,000 Semo and Indomie are the problem.
If the poor should not vote because they're prone to ₦5,000 inducement, what about judges that will collect ₦25B houses, HOR members and Senators that collected ₦100B+ worth of cars?
What about billionaires that openly side with bad governments and donate the billions that is later shared to the poor? Should they be eligible to vote or be voted for? Should they be eligible to even hold office?
We Nigerians live in la-la-land where the ₦5,000 hungry people collect is why the country is messed up.
But when we wake up, we will come to terms with the unfortunate fact the system we have foolishly reposed our hope in, can produce millions of votes from LGAs that didn't even receive voting materials.
And judges will come out of brand new, ultra-luxurious"Semo and Indomie" houses, don their funny wigs et robes, and uphold the manufactured results, returning our Nemesis to office.
When we're ready, we will stop bashing the poor — which, by the way, is almost all of us — and do the right thing.

Thank you for asking.
We need to look beyond voting and elections. If we examine our society/country and the system that runs it, and ask ourselves some candid questions, we may help get better clarity on our next steps:
1. Assuming that the poor don't collect Semo and Indomie, will the country get better?
2. What exactly is "better"?
3. Will elections solve our problems?
4. Are the 'leaders' the only problem?
In my opinion, the change that needs to happen in Nigeria is so fundamental, a significant number of us must actively participate.
When I say 'participate', I don't mean vote.
We must realize that the leaders DO NOT have our best interest at heart.
We must firm new citizens conclaves completely devoted to building the country from the ground up, starting from our CDAs all the way up
English
This is not an "illiterates" thing.
As these ones are collecting Semo and Indomie, judges are getting multimillion Naira houses, others are getting luxury cars, professors are getting millions and billions of Naira...
Everybody is getting what they're sharing for their level.
So you see, the problem is deeper and more pervasive than mere illiteracy.

@davidjaja77 Nice!
Unfortunately, Nigeria's middle class is almost non-existent.
The difference between the middle class and the poor has shrunk too much.
In any case, the system has a chain for every socioeconomic rung.
English
@CryptoMuse01 Don't mind them. Some of them even went to school to brush up on their thieving mentality.
English
Just like people tend to see poverty as a contemptible, highly infectious disease, many people see wealth as a virtue.
Very often, the rich are seen as saints, and wise sages that have attained enlightenment.
The society often zooms out to look at the rich, but employs a microscope to judge the poor.
