Please stop comparing dying from poverty to Darwin’s “survival of the fittest.” Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age, not by any natural shortage of resources.

We're finally having the conversation about how most "modern" African construction materials and methods for everything including roads make no sense in our local context.

We are ‘skipping’ industrialization and majoring in the minors. Do Africans think AI and the internet will solve their dependency problem? Big joke

Africa is full of surpsises Ugandan police arrested a man for witchcraft, took him to court, and he responded by inviting bees to the court. Everyone was attacked by the bees. He didn’t get a single sting. Interesting to see a man running around with a fire 🔥 extinguisher. Earth is hard , best such guys are left in peace.

Seun Kuti is right !!!!

Any virus known previously to scientists in the lab that later becomes transmissible to man, was deliberately taken from the lab to be transmitted to man. This is my position

Today’s agreement between Airbus and AirAsia is the largest single order of commercial aircraft in Canada’s history. 150 Airbus A220-300 aircraft will be built by Canadian workers on Canadian factory floors — supporting thousands of careers across Canada and here in Mirabel, from the skilled trades to engineering.

@rushicrypto And then who will work for him to make the money if everyone can get a hand out?

I don't get greed. If I had Bezos cash, I'd be fixing a problem every week. Homelessness? Not on my watch. Hungry kids in school? No way. Animal shelters full? I'll build 10,000 more.

@Prezain_LJ Come back when you pioneer something for the world... then you can have an opinion.

Fela Kuti wasn’t that a great musician. Pioneer yes, activist, yes, great performer, yes, but pure music, nah! His music is mostly noisy, can feel repetitive or heavily instrumental, with some songs stretching beyond seven minutes and large portions being instrumental breaks. He often spoke or chanted in most of his songs rather than focusing on actual singing. I still hold him in high esteem because he was bold enough to criticize the government, then had most of his music themes on societal ills which makes him a revolutionary figure. However, when it comes to pure singing and structure, you can’t compare him to artistes like King Sunny Ade or Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe who are far better musicians than him.

@PeterSchiff @SenSanders He is only able to create those jobs because of people who work for him and have worked for him in the past. When we say billionaires create jobs and so on, we must realized that it could&would never have happened without other people. Everyone only gets 24hrs/day.

@SenSanders Yes, but Bezos employs over 1.5 million people at Amazon. That’s a lot of jobs he created, even after some layoffs. How many jobs have you created? For all the value Bezos has provided his customers and employees, he deserves a yacht. What value have you provided to anyone?

The reality of American life today: Jeff Bezos, worth $290 billion, spent: $10 million on the Met Gala $120 million on a penthouse $500 million on a yacht Meanwhile, he‘s planning to throw 600,000 Amazon workers out on the streets and replace them with robots. Unacceptable.

This surgery would cost more than $10k in the US but people are paying less than $4k with hotel and feeding in Instabul. Can a Nigerian weigh in why these hair clinics are not charging like US clinics?

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?"

"Nigerians are scared of revolution, and religion has a big part to play in it because African Pentecostality teaches you that instead of working to alleviate everybody's oppression, you should pray that God should alleviate your own suffering." - Man says

@re_in_mo9 @jon_d_doe Because haters plenty lol. Lets assume 1000 people saw the message at the instant it was posted and liked it. Now who will unlike for the other person to win?

@Jude_capital @jon_d_doe So why didn't it stop at 2?

So far, 359k persons have failed a simple cognitive test. Shame.

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive. Just thought y’all should know.

@DavidHundeyin This is what civilians in Mali did to Islamist terrorists: instead of just capturing them and handing them over to the government for a pardon, they massacred them and dragged their filthy bodies through the streets. To the Nigerian people: learn from Mali. 🇲🇱

@Madridghost1 Make people talk story of their experiences with Nigerian immigration lawyers.

Story time Nigerians in Canada🇨🇦 why?

@afrisagacity SA history books will one day write about how a white woman ended xenophobia. Mary Slesor 2.0

A white South African lady leads a protest against xenophobic attacks on other Africans in South Africa. She advocates that other African countries should close down SA embassies in their countries because some govt officials are part of the attacks. This is commendable.✍️
