I think the Nigerian people living on another continent who used their resources to arrest and prosecute this nobody that looks like he's still writing JAMB should be feeling very happy and smug with their decision.
Because this story encapsulates everything that is hopeless about Nigerian people. From the working-class-traitor diasporans who make their living from selling the social media equivalent of codeine to the people they left behind, and who choose to use the resources they extract to lord it over them instead of organising to do anything remotely positive in Nigeria; to the "law enforcement" whose definition of enforcing law is to do whatever anybody with some 3 kobo wants them to do; to the celebrity NGO lawyer who loves occurrences like this and doesn't want anything to change in Nigeria because Nigeria's dysfunction is how he justifies his dollar grants; to the wretched of the earth at the centre of the case who looks like he's still a virgin, but has already totally given up on himself and committed to a life of being utterly useless useless to himself and the world around him.
It gives me no pleasure to say it, but the British and American colonial psychologists who created the post-independence Nigerian human mind were truly excellent at their job. They created the most perfect colonial subject in the world - a sorry native who can exist at depths of suffering unknown to man and still retain a ferociously anti-revolutionary mindset whose central animating tenet is to always deliberately sell the person next to you instead of even entertain the thought of teaming up with them to achieve something that might benefit the collective.
Virgin-looking idiot: Uses monetised shitposting, rage-farming strategy to sell fellow Africans for American subsidy billionaire's monthly payout. Cannot conceive of anything bigger and more sustainable for himself. Already given up on living long or being useful to the planet before his 23rd birthday.
Mr & Mrs Digital Codeine Purveyors: Sell fellow Africans for brand partnership payments, BTL PR campaign payments, American social media creator payouts, and everything in between. Lives in 1st world country, but income and way of life depends on extracting internet value from shrinking, desperately impoverished market back home in Nigeria. Do not see themselves as part of Nigerian collective, but as individuals who have "escaped." Eager to flex their newfound status as members of pseudo-elite diaspora class and perpetuate the dysfunction back home with their money instead of organising to contribute to a revolution in any way.
Celebrity NGO lawyer: Sells his fellow Africans by pretending to fight their legal battles on their behalf, while actually putting on a kabuki theatre show for the benefit of American funding entities who will write him another cheque with many zeroes before the end of Q1 2026. Absolutely loves everything about the status quo because it guarantees him a well paid job, social currency, high levels of societal access, and future potential to rise into electoral positions with foreign backing and support.
"Nigeria Police Force": Never stopped selling Africans since the days when it was a British anti-independence militia that used to arrest Nigerians campaigning for independence and lock them up at Kirikiri. Still selling Africans to whoever is willing to pay, with no concept of there possibly being something else it could do in the world forever and ever.
A country populated by people who would be more useful to the world as organic fertiliser.
