Yesterday defenders of democracy, today's destroyers, What a shame. What an irony of history, that the acclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights who claimed to have fought for democracy during the era of General Sani Abacha now find themselves worse than the man they opposed. Today, General Sani Abacha, once presumed face of oppression, will be remembered as seemingly more democratic and more respectful of human rights than the so-called champions of activism from the NADECO days. Power indeed reveals character. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

When will Africans finally outgrow this embarrassing and childish tourist syndrome? An African flies to a European country, sees a shiny building or a fancy train, whips out their phone, and immediately runs to social media to cry, "When will our country have this?!" SPOILER ALERT : those train rides are not free. They are directly subsidized by the missing wealth and uncollected taxes of the developing world. Truth is that, while the rest of Europe was tripping over themselves to aggressively extract African resources by sending gunboats, missionaries, and colonial administrators to do their dirty work, Luxembourg was playing 3D chess. They did not need to get their hands bloody or dirty. Instead, they quietly positioned themselves as the ultimate offshore tollbooth for the wealth being plundered from the Global South. Here is how their white-collar criminal network operates: A massive multinational conglomerate digs up copper in Zambia, pumps crude in Nigeria, or mines cobalt in the DRC Congo. By any standard of fairness, the immense wealth generated from those resources should be taxed locally to build the exact same roads, schools, and train networks we keep drooling over. But the global financial system is rigged. Instead of paying their fair share, that corporation sets up a shell company and often literally just a dusty P.O. Box in Luxembourg. And then through the dark arts of corporate accounting known as "profit shifting" and "transfer pricing," the company manipulates its books. The African subsidiary, the one doing the actual extraction, magically records zero profit. Meanwhile, the Luxembourg P.O. Box records billions. Africa gets the environmental degradation, the exploited labor, and a depleted national treasury. Luxembourg gets the capital. Now, Luxembourg taxes these phantom P.O. boxes just enough to make it look legitimate, pulling in about 5% of their GDP. But that’s just the cover charge. When you factor in the massive ecosystem built to service this racket,the armies of corporate lawyers, wealth managers, auditors, and bankers designing these tax-dodging schemes, it accounts for a staggering 30% of Luxembourg’s entire GDP. Put the math together, and you realize that nearly 40% of their national wealth is a monument to laundered money. It is the most flawlessly executed heist in modern history. They managed to siphon the wealth of a continent without firing a single bullet or toppling a single regime.

How do you claim to hate APC, yet attend churches like House on the Rock or Redeemed where pastors openly align with APC politicians? That’s why no one takes Christians seriously.

Nigeria is holding Africa back

President @officialABAT is running the Most Useless Government in the history of Useless Governments!!! How many more Nigerians have to die due to this abysmal level of incompetence? Nigerians wake up everyday to lament one tragedy of the other. Unbearably heart-wrenching!!!

He intentionally wrote 2001 so that it won't look like he is blaming Apc the useless party he works for May God punish you, Iceprince

The fastest way to know a failed country? When you have more campaign buses than ambulance. Now you know.

She put me through school and paid for all my tuition and feeding until I graduated, she even sponsored my masters to the UK. Now here in the UK, I’m working for a big brand and even working on my PhD. I’ve met someone here who matches my energy and degree, she earns more than I do. It’s not my fault my ex back in Nigeria didn’t level up, I deserve better.

Can a 9-5 girl bag him?

@Symply_Tacha I assume you don’t understand football, if vou actually understood football, you wouldn't be comparing a Premier League player to a player who farmed stat in a farmers league

Rooney and his boy group are maad pple FR.. Ronaldo is the only player in the history of Man U that’s better than Neymar. Neymar is 10x better than all Man U legends.. In fact there’s no player apart from Ronaldo that has played in the premier league that’s better than Neymar..

Bruno Fernandes has reached 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ @ManUtd assists at a remarkable rate! 👀
