@ayoBDB The proposed loan was seemingly for $2.4 billion before he backed out. The question is why was Babangida seeking a loan at all when he was allegedly pillaging Nigerias treasury of up to 11 billion dollars.

@Hrhuffinstuff69 no. he took advice from the imf not a loan, but also took a loan from the world bank which is the enforcement arm of the imf. and he was clearly implementing imf adviced SAP

fun fact: when the imf sugar baby babangida became military leader of nigeria, a university professor earned the naira equivalent of $30k, but after he rapidly implemented imf policies, within the first year of his administration the value of their naira earnings fell to ~$1k

A new paper shows that neoliberal austerity policies implemented by the World Bank and the IMF in Sub-Saharan Africa in the 1980s and 1990s were associated with a *20% decline in real incomes.* The destruction caused by these organisations across the Global South is staggering.

@Hrhuffinstuff69 @SonyaDouglas ... He's existed since the 19th century to this day... He had nothing doing for 2 centuries .. he was only planning Reparations. You see how stupid and idiotic you sound? It's really not hard to understand indeed... Swine
English
My own view is it doesn’t make much sense for African countries to claim reparations for the slave trade when they themselves kidnapped and sold Africans into slavery. What are they claiming for? Exceeding the quota?🤷🏿♀️
It all just feels like bait apple.news/AueUusiRJQQqUA…

@MrMa_nuel @SonyaDouglas So the UN resolution was planned out with the Russians over a series of conferences and Mahama fronted it up.
It’s really not hard to understand
English
@Hrhuffinstuff69 @SonyaDouglas Look at this dumbo😂😂Reparation conversations started way back among African folks... Even if it was planned with Russians .. what about it? Does it change the facts?
English
@MrMa_nuel @SonyaDouglas That it was planned with the Russians.
Now you know. You’re welcome.

@Hrhuffinstuff69 @SonyaDouglas You cleared what up? What's wrong if Russia is helping do that? Where's the threat to humanity in that? Are you daft you don't know what the resolution is about? Or because Russians are involved it suddenly becomes nonsense?

@Hrhuffinstuff69 @SonyaDouglas This doesn't change the facts of the matter or distort real history as we know it, as our fore fathers narrated down to us ... Not stories from wanna be African writers.

@2Blk4Ya @frank_bannerman Well quite. It will end up with “on this day at this time this ship left port and arrived at Elmina on this date and time where it bought this number of slaves from this man for the sum of these trade goods”
This will backfire so badly on Mahama. Britain kept records
English
@frank_bannerman You just wrote a fable & you’re telling others not to rewrite history? 🤣
Yes, the Europeans are culpable. But y’all don’t know these crackkkas like we do. They’re about to expose all of Africa’s lies & they keep meticulous receipts. It was called the slave TRADE for a reason.

Ghana didn’t sell slaves, Ghana didn’t exist then. Some locals were involved but much of it was driven by violence. Chiefs were threatened, killed or removed to force participation. Don’t rewrite history to dilute the scale and responsibility of the West's industrialized slavery
Peter Hague@peterrhague
Ghana really is pulling a fast one aren’t they? First they got paid for all the slaves they sold (until Britain stopped them) and now they want to get paid compensation for the existence of slavery by the people who stopped them doing it. Anybody in Parliament who even hints at “reparations” is in my mind a straight up traitor. I, a taxpayer, don’t owe foreign scammers a penny.

@Hrhuffinstuff69 @CryptoMuse01 Also NEVER forget that for example in Britain many of the slaveholding families who got paid off are British politicians & top society ppl. I mean former PM David Cameron is one such beneficiary.

This summarizes the most self-destructive analysis on transatlantic slavery I have ever seen.
It contains a straw man, gaslighting, victim blaming, and historical erasure dressed up as tough love.
The straw man: you reduced a demand for accountability for industrialized, race‑based chattel slavery and colonialism to “blaming Europeans for inventing slavery.” No serious person argues that Europeans invented slavery or that they should be held responsible for slavery everywhere.
The gaslighting: you frame centuries of violent extraction - the slave trade, colonial plunder, imposed borders, continent-wide structural adjustment - as a mere “excuse” for African failure, as if the continent’s development occurred in a vacuum untouched by the powers now refusing to vote yes on a UN resolution.
The victim blaming: you point to African intermediaries as if that transfers full moral responsibility onto the enslaved and their descendants, while ignoring who held and supplied the guns, the ships, the banks, the plantations, and the political power that made the system global.
And the historical erasure? You omitted that right after slavery, came colonialism, after colonialism, came debt traps and IMF austerity; a continuous chain of external extraction that your “self‑actualization” narrative conveniently pretends never happened.
If self‑actualization is the goal, then the first step is acknowledging the actual historical barriers, not dismissing them as an excuse.
"Britain paid around 20 million pounds to free all slaves. The (sic) only fully paid the loan this 2015."
Who did they pay it to? Slave owners! They were compensated for losing their property.
The slaves received nothing - only forced labour under another name.
Britain made their commoners who probably didn't own slaves pay rich fucks who did and you called it 'freeing the slaves'?
Britain soldiers died equalizing the transatlantic slave trade, making sure others were not selling and buying slaves and gaining advantage over them. They basically used abolition as a tool to entrench geopolitical dominance - it was not a display of penitence or morality.

90% of all the Africans that were enslaved were raided, captured, and delivered to the Europeans BY AFRICANS. Before that, Africans had sold 10 million Africans to the Arabs during the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade. The Arabs castrated their slaves. Holding Europeans “accountable” for slavery is gravely misguided, and another attempt to fabricate an illusion of existential excuse for the consistent self-inflicted failure of Africans to self actualize. Europeans didn’t invent slavery. Humans invented slavery. Egyptians had slaves. Babylonians had slaves. Persians had slaves. Greeks had slaves. Romans had slaves. The English had slaves. Africans had slaves. Humans were the first exchanged good amongst humans. But slavery didn’t remain after the Europeans. Britain abolished slavery. Britain lost around 2,000 naval officers on the sea enforcing abolition laws on African rulers who kept enslaving. Britain paid around 20 million pounds to free all slaves. The only fully paid the loan this 2015. No one should pay reparations for slavery. It is not the sin of any one group. Africans shouldn’t use an event that occurred 400 years ago as an excuse for lack of self actualization.

NIGERIA IS NOW DIRECTLY UNDER US STATE CAPTURE
BREAKING: U.S. Embassy in Nigeria Now Directly Coordinates With NSA’s Office To Arrest Nigerian Citizens Over Criticism of Israel, USA
In a stunning development, the United States Embassy in Nigeria has established a direct coordination framework with the Office of the National Security Adviser to monitor the social media activities of Nigerian citizens, directly recommending individuals for arrest and prosecution based on their online criticism of Israel and the United States. Under this framework, exclusively revealed to Sovereign Media, two Nigerian social media users, Sani Buhari and Abubakar Adamu, were recently arrested by the Department of State Security Services (DSS) and charged in court for posts on X that were critical of Israel's genocide in Palestine, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and US president Donald Trump. Buhari was eventually released, but only after posting a clearly forced apology to the US Embassy on his X handle by the DSS, while Adamu remains in custody.
Since Bola Ahmed Tinubu took power in Nigeria in 2023, West Africa's erstwhile regional pillar, whose foreign policy still officially follows an "Africa First" doctrine, has increasingly begun operating as a satellite extension of western powers, including France and the US. For example, in December 2025, during a coup attempt in Benin, Tinubu deployed Nigerian air and ground forces to quell the attempt on the orders of French president Emmanuel Macron.
The escalating pattern of policy decisions and geopolitical moves locking Nigeria into multiple security partnerships with western governments is raising the real possibility of the country being retrofitted into a vassal state without the ability to set its own internal security priorities, with foreign interests dictating what its citizens are allowed to say. If Nigeria's compromised foreign policy posture is not addressed quickly, Africa could see one of its most important countries abandon its historic role as a pillar of Pan-African support and turn into the continent's most dangerous vassal state.

Three countries voted against the resolution:
The United States
Israel
Argentina

A Thread 👇🏿
The United States, Israel, and Argentina Vote Against Condemning the European Slave Trade of African People
On 15 March 2026, Ghana spearheaded a United Nations resolution to condemn the European slave trade of African peoples as " the gravest crime against humanity." The resolution calls for formal apologies, reparations, and the restitution of cultural items and artefacts. 123 countries worldwide voted in favour of the resolution while 52 abstained. The United States, Israel, and Argentina voted against the resolution.
The countries that abstained from the vote included some of the biggest beneficiaries and perpetrators of African enslavement, such as France, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Both the United States and Argentina were major importers of enslaved Africans, whose labour helped build the wealth of both countries. Yet while the United States today still has tens of millions of descendants of enslaved Africans, Argentina’s Black population was largely erased over generations through a process many scholars and activists view as racial erasure, if not outright state backed elimination. Official census data from 2010 recorded Afro Argentines at just 0.4 percent of the population. Javier Milei, who took office on 10 December 2023, now presides over a country with that history in the background.
Israel, which routinely sides with Washington, shows little concern for how history will judge its actions, with its racist ideology reflected in violence against Palestinians, the wider region, and African communities, including the scandal in which Ethiopian Jewish women were given long acting contraceptive injections without full informed consent.

@MikeArnoldTruth Good old whataboutism when you’re from a slaving racist society.

Yesterday the UN voted 123-3 to declare the Atlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity in history.
All slave trade is evil. Period.
But if you want to identify the gravest — by duration, by scale, by brutality, and by the fact that it never stopped — the data points somewhere the UN resolution didn’t go.
The Arab-led Indian Ocean slave trade:
🔴 Has operated for 1,300 years — four times longer than the Atlantic trade
🔴 Enslaved a comparable number of Africans — an estimated 12.5 million
🔴 Systematically castrated male slaves, with mortality rates of 80–95%
🔴 Produced almost no surviving descendants — because it was designed not to
🔴 Never ended
Today the kafala system in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait holds millions of African and Asian workers in conditions that meet every definition of forced labor. Hereditary slavery persists in Mauritania and Mali — Arab-majority states — where Black Africans are still owned in 2026. The UN’s own data confirms the Arab world has the highest prevalence of modern slavery per capita on earth.
So why did 123 nations just declare the Atlantic trade the worst — while the older, longer, still-active trade goes unnamed?
Because naming it condemns the Islamic Middle East.
And that, apparently, is still off the table.
