Mr. David Hundeyin: While I understand your position here, you are entirely too harsh on the poor masses in Nigeria in whose name you are supposedly fighting for. Yes, it is undeniably true that many Nigerians do not see the bigger picture. They do not see how foreign corporations are funding the insecurity currently ravaging the North, how the IMF and World Bank are basically boardroom terror organizations destroying the economy of the Global South, or how the Nigerian government only serves the vile interests of a select few elites and their puppet masters in Western capitals. All of this is true, but what is equally true is this: it is not this poor majority that will change this country. This may seem counterintuitive, as the poor are the ones feeling the crushing weight of a dwindling economy, hyperinflation, and an epileptic power grid. But as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels outlined in lovely book "The Communist Manifesto", a true change in government can only happen when the classes of society hold hands and unite under a common umbrella. The poor and uneducated form the overwhelming majority of society and obviously possess the brute muscle to pressure the system. However, they cannot articulate a well-structured plan, they cannot write manifestos, and they cannot understand the complex logistics required to sustain a massive protest. They lack the financial war chest to fund a prolonged struggle, the legal expertise to bail out captured comrades, the media expertise to combat vicious state propaganda, and the strategic foresight to negotiate terms when the ruling class is finally brought to its knees. The Hollywood theater of poor people carrying pitchforks to overthrow their government is pure, delusional fantasy. An oppressive regime will always have a police force and a military that are heavily armed, well-trained, and eager to shoot live ammunition at protesters. Drawing again from the works of Marx and Engels and their studies on class struggle, the fundamental catalyst that brings to light any true revolutionary movement must start with the Middle Class (the Bourgeoisie/Intelligentsia). The middle class is educated; they possess the knowledge to decode complex geopolitics and translate it into simpler terms for the average farmer to understand, just as Thomas Sankara did in Burkina Faso. The middle class has the resources and the time on their hands to properly coordinate protests and build formidable intelligence networks. They can outsource the technology to bypass government censorship, they have the international connections to expose human rights abuses to the global stage, and they possess the ideological backbone required to turn disorganized public anger into a lethal, targeted political weapon. The most famous revolutionary movements in history like the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, were all ruthlessly and carefully planned and organized by educated, wealthy, middle-class citizens. Even Fidel Castro of Cuba came from a wealthy family, and his father owned a robust sugar business. Yet, even when the lower and middle classes unite, the upper class and the military still hold all the cards. Even the celebrated 1979 Iranian Revolution was only successful because factions within the military and the government decided to commit mutiny and flat-out refused to protect the Shah. If impoverished Nigerians were to relinquish their daily survival hustle and storm the streets en masse to protest against the government, what do you think will happen? Just like ENDSARS, the state will wait for the cover of night, turn off the lights, and gun down unarmed protesters in cold blood. Then, their puppet masters in the Global North will instantly provide them with diplomatic cover, and the rest of humanity will simply move on. Therefore, the struggling masses do not need to understand your complex geopolitics for a revolution to happen. If the comfortable, educated elite(who claim to know it all) do not get off their high horses and join forces to mobilize the streets, absolutely nothing will change. A revolution does not happen in a vacuum; it requires a spark forged by intellectuals, fueled by the fury of the poor, and executed with ruthless, unwavering precision. Until the educated middle class is willing to sacrifice its comfort, weaponize its privileges, and bleed alongside the common man they so eagerly criticize, you're basically tweeting into oblivion.

Knowledge is not just a burden, but a lonely place. The ability to clearly see things that others cannot see if their lives depnded on it is not a gift. It's a social impediment. If I say that there is a direct and obvious link stringing together the "Christian Genocide" fairytale with the Dangote Refinery, the Benue Trough, the Itakpe Hill Ridge, the Bama Beach ridge and the wider geological belt stretching from Plateau to Yobe, 99% of my audience will respond "What are those?" And that's why we lose. How can they possibly fight and win a war when they don't even realise there's a war going on? Just one lonely guy speaking turenchi to himself on Twitter. People that drank FFMP instead of milk as children couldn't possibly grasp this information. It's not their fault. They never had a chance.

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.
