I'll also say this as someone who grew up on the nice side of the barbed wire fences and high gates in the very nice part of town where the Nigerian 0.1% live - learn to touch grass and worry about yourself because rich people really do not care about you. Like, at all.
The Nigerian rich don't even like each other. They barely tolerate one another and make practical alliances to preserve wealth and influence. And now that the economy is too small to support all the children of the Nigerian 0.1%, nearly everyone I grew up with in the nice, leafy part of town now lives in Toronto or London or wherever. You, Mr N250k/month Union Bank contract staff are not part of rich people's thinking at all.
At. All.
The rich have no plans for you. They have no plans to create opportunities for you. They have no plans to fix the things they broke on their way to building that N1bn townhouse in Parkview Estate. They have no plans to contribute towards making society better. If Satan came from Hell with a tail and horns growing out of his head and he ran for political office, the rich would all go make deals with him - because in the world of the rich, the only thing that matters is their own interests, and making sure that they never, EVER have to live like you or next to you.
So all this simping and vicarious fawning over wealth and fame that you people do everyday is the most redundant thing in the world - the rich have no intention of expanding their circle to let you in, and they have no intention of enabling the conditions for you to create your own independent circle of wealth. The only thing the rich need from you is to be poor and obedient, so that your labour can be cheap, plentiful and replaceable.
Statistically as a Nigerian, you will NEVER be rich or close to it. You will NEVER live in Maitama. 99.99% of Nigerians who have existed since 1960 have prayed and fantasised about becoming rich, and 99.99% of those prayers and fantasies never came true. That's just math. You will never be a rich and famous celebrity. You will never be a successful content creator. You will never make millions shilling crypto, trading Forex, sports betting, or whatever the fuck is the latest quick wealth fantasy in town. It's just not going to happen.
That being the case, a much more constructive use of your time would be to fight for the material elevation of what you actually have, where you actually have it. Instead of daydreaming about the N300m house in Lekki that 3 generations of your family cannot buy, get involved in a local effort to give your own immediate neighbourhood a facelift, or a political campaign to pressure the state to build high quality social housing.
If you hate being harassed without consequence online, instead of vicariously enjoying how a celebrity has used their wealth and influence to jail someone for making a horrid tweet, fight for a judiciary and legal system that is transparent and accessible to all, so that a singer living in the UK on a global talent visa doesn't get to have more access to your Nigerian justice system than you who lives in Nigeria 24/7.
Instead of building your mental architecture around the false idea of being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" who will someday take your rightful place on Banana Island, touch grass tonight and accept that it will never happen, and what you need to do instead is fight for where you are to become a better, more liveable place that you no longer wish to escape from. Stop cosplaying as rich folk. Stop cooing and fawning over rich folk. Stop daydreaming about someday "blowing up" and buying a house next to Burna Boy. Rich people have no intention of sharing their world with you. Free yourself from the tyranny of living vicariously through people who don't care that you exist.
Them no really send any part of your papa at all.
@instablog9ja Una dey use celebrity divorce dey summarise family life of an average people. Divorce rate is not high among normal people oh, it is only high amongst celebrities.
When you refuse to be violent you’d often
be told you don’t know how to handle me.
Nne, I don’t wanna have to handle you,
you’re an adult, handle yourself.
A very tough argument between a Man and Feminist woman🙆🏼♂️
Lady: Marriage is designed to benefit men cos even as a poorest of man, it allows you to still have a ma!d. If I marry a rich man and he loses his money, he loses me too cos I’m moving on immediately, I’m not here to make any man feel better.
Man: This is a d£m0n right here
Lady: you can’t even afford me
Man: Why should I afford you ? Are you a property ? Slav£ry ended years ago, why’re we affording people ? Feminism is nonsense in Nigeria💀😭
@Izzzy_way@itz_taser Then let the court decide his/her fate...it's that simple!
You cannot use the police to jail someone without the court passing judgement, that is wrong!!!
@CharlesThe23604 It makes u empty headed if u argue like that wen given an astute argument. The narrative is not about Zim, itz about South Africa. Why not answer the man 1st then if u feel the nid after that, ask him wat he is doing about his own matters in his country
The Dudula and March & March mafia have been saying their fight against African migrants is because "WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK"
Which is actually a noble thing, real patriotism, real love for their country. But the question now is, they want their country back from who exactly?
The poor black migrants who are barely making ends meet, being paid peanuts by the whites who literally control the economy?
Okay, the presence of these black migrants has made it impossible for black South Africans to be employed. So supposed they're all chased away from South Africa, there's still the elephant in the room, none of them want to address
You're still not in control of your country, that's when you realize it's the whites who took your country at gunpoint still in control of the economy
For example, they've closed little shops that belong to Africans, how many shops have they opened. None. They've just gone back to buying at these large white owned shops. Who benefits? White capital.
See, the thing is you're fighting for the white man's crumbs, your country isn't in Diepsloot or Hillbrow, it's in Stellenbosch. That's where the people who control the farms, the mines, the banks, the industries are
Which begs the question, is it a revolution or it's a misdirection. A misdirection of anger at fellow victims, instead of the architects. Just poor folks fighting fellow poor folks
Food for thought.
Mali🇲🇱: Watch to the end. This is how terrorists are meant to be treated. Tell me why we don't see things like this out of Nigeria.
Where are the live videos of Nigerian Air Force killing terrorists in real time?
In Mali, killer terrorists are sent to hell with zero apologies. In Nigeria, the gates of heaven are opened unto terrorists.
@jcokechukwu It pains me that you think our military will engage at least 3 missiles and the terrorist will still have their legs to run away.
I hope you know this video shows disappointing results.
I pray and hope the Nigerian Military won't be this bad with their air strikes.
