On the racialised chattel enslavement of Africans during the Transatlantic Slave Trade, imperialists and their victims: 1. Europeans declared all dark-skinned African people and their descendants perpetual slaves who could be owned as property by Europeans at any time, forever—primarily because they were dark-skinned African people. 2. The gravest crime against humanity—racialised chattel enslavement of dark-skinned African people—was a European invention. At no time in history were people and their descendants declared slaves and property forever primarily because of their race until Europeans invented, codified, and practised such a concept. 3. Africans did not sell Africans to Europeans. Europeans sold African victims to Europeans, using the signatures of other African victims to maintain plausible deniability. To Europeans, all dark-skinned Africans were already slaves for life, so having some victims remain in Africa to sign off others into slavery was a strategy to make it seem as though Africans did this to themselves. All dark-skinned Africans had already been declared perpetual slaves; they were already victims of the imperialists. The idea that these victims "sold" one another into slavery to Europeans is simply a European lie. 4. On how the trade ended—all credit goes only to those courageous Africans who so effectively disrupted the system, directed events, and organised the very conditions that forced Europeans to either stop committing the gravest crime against humanity or perish. 5. Slavery had always existed before the Transatlantic Slave Trade, during which Europeans declared all dark-skinned African people and their descendants slaves in perpetuity primarily because of their race—people who could be owned as property by any European, at any time, forever—and it continued to exist after. Sadly, it still exists to this day. But to compare the gravest crime against humanity—European-invented, racialised chattel enslavement of dark-skinned African people—to other forms of slavery is gross dishonesty and a grave insult to the victims of that crime.

You don't save a burning house by rearranging its furniture.

Sir, the problems you have highlighted are real, but they are not random. They are systemic, structural, and deeply entrenched. They are not the natural failures of an otherwise healthy nation; they are features of an imperialist-designed system built to produce exactly this kind of political disorder, social decay, and deformed public consciousness, regardless of which party banner is flying. The mindset problem we see clearly in many Nigerians today is not accidental; it is the result of long years of colonisation of the mind, passed down from parents to children, to grandchildren, and so on. This is why simply moving from one political party to another, while understandable, cannot by itself resolve the deeper problem. So long as the imperialist system remains alive and well, any honest leader will be fighting an uphill battle, no matter how sincere or competent. You do not need to publicly brand yourself as anti-imperialist or a Pan-Africanist if that does not suit your strategy. But you can support the anti-imperialist struggle now taking hold among young, educated Africans. You have the means, the reach, and the standing to strengthen a movement that seeks to confront the root, not merely the symptoms. You have proven yourself a leader like no other in our recent history. Many Nigerians, and indeed many Africans, trust you; they gladly follow you without any financial or material inducement. Destiny has placed you here, at this moment, for a purpose, and you can fulfil it if you are willing to answer that call. No genuine liberation will come from rearranging the furniture inside a burning house. The system itself must be overturned.

The problem is that the real masquerades he is up against don't care. They won't even allow an Obasanjo or even a Goodluck Jonathan type to occupy that office again. We only get Buharis and Tinubus. The only way P.O. gets anywhere near that office is total national rebellion. And if he's too rich and polite to make it happen, but he insists on occupying impotent political space with an electoral ambition that is not going to happen, then what is the point of all this exactly? That is my point. I actually want this man to become president, but *HE DOESN'T!*
Morty@Femi_blaine

@DavidHundeyin He's not a Lumumba, his character can't just change overnight, he can't go to war with the west (in the capacity of a revolutionary), but he sure as hell can stop this nosediving into hell that western stooges have put us on in the last decade or two

Sir, now that you have left ADC, after previously leaving Labour Party for the same reason, and NDC or any other party doesn't seem likely to be different, it is time to join the anti-imperialist struggle. It is the only meaningful struggle on the African continent now. Imperialism is the root cause of your problems. It is the reason why they can never allow you to be president. In case you are not aware, they will never let someone who made his campaign slogan “from consumption to production,” models China and talks tough about lifting Nigerians out of poverty to be president. You are rich. You can channel some of that money into funding programs aimed at decolonization, rather than wasting them on Nigeria’s current (electoral) democratic system. A decolonized population is what your presidential bid needs. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Peter Obi@PeterObi·
Fellow Nigerians, good morning. I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you. Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances. We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal. More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism. We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power. Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise. Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them. However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building. Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated. And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions. There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline? Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from. Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

So-called holy books are imperialist tools designed to be highly flexible, to support numerous conflicting ideas, and to give believers of any leaning, in any social era, a genuine reason to remain committed to their different scripture-backed contradictory views. If you find support in a holy book for any number of conflicting ideas and principles, you're not crazy; the book was designed to make you find support for virtually anything you want to find. You can't blame anyone for misrepresenting a book that was created specifically for the purpose of being misrepresented, twisted, and misinterpreted. Followers of holy books who base their different contradictory ideas on the same holy book aren't crazy. They hold conflicting beliefs despite reading the same holy book. This is by design. These believers are all, in a sense, equally correct and wrong. None is misrepresenting or misinterpreting the holy book. None is twisting the holy book's message. This is because these holy books are written precisely for that effect—to support any number of contradictory ideas across time and social eras. The Bible, for example, was compiled by imperialists to be flexible—suitable for any era, any period, any idea, literally—to sustain the illusion of timeless relevance and to ensure that the imperialist religion continues to garner support from its victims-turned-followers regardless of the social era in which they find themselves, since any viewpoint at any point in time can be justified using some verse from the Bible. Like all other holy books, the Bible is an imperialist project. As one of the first important steps towards freedom, Africans must do well to recognise these so-called holy books for what they truly are.

Defending Christianity with "Christianity was first in Ethiopia before Europeans" is just lazy excuse to remain in colonial indoctrination. 1. The Ethiopian orthodox Christian does not recognise a pope in Rome or any other Western settings 2. Most of you using Ethiopia as excuse never even seen or read the Bible of Ethiopian orthodox churches. Your only view of Christianity is from the Book Edited by King James (a gay British King who believes in conquest of the people's land and properties) 3. Look at how Ethiopians pray n worship in the Video below 4. Ethiopian orthodox Christians use a different Religious calendar (Julian calendar) from European constructed fairy tale eg. they celebrate the birth of Christ on January 7th followed by 43 days fasting If you really care about Christianity, you'll find the right Christianity n stop defending your mental cage with "Ethiopian Christianity" that has nothing to do with Wahabism n Zionism framework. But I guess you won't cos your indoctrination is so strong that you'll argue that Ethiopians are practicing Christianity wrongly n you're doing the right one

Big Mack @Big_Mck The canon argument is real, but it cuts both ways. Yes, Europeans shaped which books made it into the Bible, but they didn’t invent the God of Abraham, the resurrection, or the early church. Christianity was in Ethiopia before it was in Rome. Coptic believers existed centuries before the Council of Nicaea. The faith predates the colonizers’ version of it. You’re typing this critique in English. A colonial language, built on the back of the same empire you’re indicting. Does that make your argument invalid? No. Does it make you a hypocrite? No. It means you’re using what you were given to say what needs to be said. That’s exactly what I’m doing with the Bible. Speaking English doesn’t make me a colonial agent. Using the Bible doesn’t make me one either. The weapon was never the text, it was the theology they layered on top of it, the “curse of Ham,” the divine right to rule heathens, the prosperity gospel of submission. That’s what did the damage, and that’s what I reject. You can dismantle colonial theology without torching the whole house. As for picking a side, that framing is itself a colonial move. It assumes I can only have one identity, one allegiance, one framework. But I am African and Christian, and both of those things are older and deeper than European conquest. The early African church didn’t see a contradiction. Neither do I. What should worry us isn’t that I hold both, it’s why so many Africans were conditioned to believe they couldn’t.

“Rejecting the Bible because Europeans misused” Misused it? Really? Let’s start with what the Bible that you read today actually is. It’s literally a collection of books. A library. Not some divine decree. Guess who put them together? The same people you claim only misused it. Well, if you must know, it was put together for the purpose of misusing it. Btw, a piece of advice. You need to really define what ideology you stand for, because playing Christianity defender and African defender at the same time will never work. You will keep embarrassing yourself. You must think the brand of Christianity you practice today means the same thing to you as it does to those who invented it.

The point of my tweet was never that age is irrelevant. The point is that the final 3 months before ovulation is when a dormant egg wakes up, metabolic activity spikes, and the egg’s environment determines whether it matures well or poorly. That window is influenced by nutrition, sleep, stress, and oxidative load. Those are things you can change.

A 34 year old woman is ovulating a 34 year old egg. That egg has been sitting in her ovaries since before she was born. She started with 6 to 7 million of them. By birth, she had 1 to 2 million. By puberty, 300,000. Most women hear this and think their eggs are just deteriorating year after year. They are not. When the eggs are dormant, they have low metabolic activity. That is what keeps them viable for decades. The real test comes in the final 3 months before ovulation, when the egg wakes up, metabolic activity spikes, and it either has what it needs or it does not. This is the part nobody talks about. You cannot undo 34 years of aging. But you can change the environment your egg matures before it is ovulated. How you are eating, sleeping, and living in these few months before conception directly affects the egg you ovulate. Most women are told there is nothing they can do about egg quality. That is not true. This is what we work on at Ferta.

You: "Most women hear this and think their eggs are just deteriorating year after year. They are not." Then, when called out: You: "The point of my tweet was never that age is irrelevant." Kinda inconsistent. The person who called you out did not misread you. They read your words exactly as written. Your first statement plainly denies that eggs deteriorate with age. Your second statement retreats to the weaker claim that age is "not irrelevant". Those are not the same claim. This is clearly not a case of anyone missing your point. It is a case of your original wording saying one thing, and your follow-up trying to soften or recast it once you were kindly called out. While healthy living is obviously important, egg deterioration with age is real—yes, eggs deteriorate year after year. And it's not her fault, not her failing at anything, just biology. Women deserve facts, not cope-driven framing that tries to turn this into something they simply need to manage better, and ultimately guilt-trips them over a biological reality largely outside their control.

The Bible was unequivocally used to enslave Africans. I know most Africans shy away from this debate because their entire identity, from childhood, was forged through blind obedience to a colonial text and bowing before a white Jesus on a crucifix. But if we are serious about liberating the Black mind, we must strip emotion from revolutionary debates and embrace cold pragmatism. If it were merely a matter of "misinterpreting" the Bible, that would be a minor issue. But the entire Christian Church was an active participant, serving as the spiritual guarantor of the transatlantic slave trade. Bishops owned massive plantations. Priests stood on the docks and blessed the slave ships before they set sail for the African coast to steal human beings. They want you to believe that it was Christian abolitionists who ended slavery because they desperately need to bury the truth that Black people fought and defeated the imperialists themselves. This mainstream narrative presents the European colonizer as a morally conflicted savior who, upon reading the scriptures with sudden clarity, realized the error of his ways and valiantly legislated the end of human bondage. It is a historical fraud. Slavery ended the exact same way the British colonial empire collapsed, and the exact same way the Americans retreated from Vietnam. In each of these scenarios, the system of murder and plunder ended not because the imperialists suddenly developed a human conscience, but because the oppressed fought back with such ferocity that the system became physically unmanageable and financially fatal. The Haitian Revolution was the ultimate trigger. It was the nightmare that spelled out to the colonizers, in blood and fire, that chattel slavery was simply too dangerous and expensive to sustain. In the late eighteenth century, the enslaved population of Saint-Domingue did not wait for the French parliament to debate their humanity. They rose up in the dark of night, set the sugarcane fields ablaze, and launched a war of total annihilation against their captors. Under the brilliant military strategies of leaders like Toussaint and Dessalines, the Black army utterly decimated the French forces. They defeated the Spanish. They defeated the British. They destroyed the mighty legions of Napoleon Bonaparte, forcing the greatest military empire of the era to its knees. Haiti proved to the global slavocracy that the African was perfectly capable of slaughtering his master, establishing a sovereign nation, and defending it against the combined empires of the world. This terrifying reality fundamentally altered the calculus of European colonization. They realized that if they pushed the African too far, every single colony in the Americas would eventually become another Haiti. In Brazil, Jamaica, and across Latin America, enslaved people did not wait for saviors. They escaped the plantations, fled into the mountains, and established fiercely independent, heavily fortified sovereign cities. The Portuguese and British regiments that tried to penetrate these fortresses were ambushed and slaughtered. All of this was happening long before the so-called white abolitionists started penning their polite manifestos in European parlors. So understand this clearly: the British Parliament did not abolish slavery out of the goodness of their Christian hearts. They abolished it because the cost of deploying military armadas to put down perpetual, massive slave rebellions was bankrupting the colonial treasury. Finally: labeling your own ancestral culture and tradition as "idol worship" is the clearest proof that you are still wearing colonial chains.

Anyone who believes the bible was used to enslave his continent has to be one of the dumbest dudes to walk the planet The Bible was not used to enslave Africa. Slave traders used selective misreadings of the Bible to justify what they had already decided to do for economic reasons. There is a difference. A big one. Slavery existed in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Arab world thousands of years before Christianity arrived on the continent. The Transatlantic Slave Trade was not a Bible project. It was a capital project. The same Bible that slaveholders quoted was the primary weapon abolitionists used to end slavery. Wilberforce, a devout Christian, spent 20 years in Parliament fighting to abolish the trade. Harriet Tubman, an enslaved woman, used her faith as fuel to free hundreds. The most prominent voices against colonialism and slavery in the 18th and 19th century were not atheists or traditionalists. They were Christians, many of them African Christians, who read the same Bible and concluded that slavery was an abomination before God. If the Bible enslaved Africa, what do you do with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which has held the Christian faith since Acts 8, centuries before Europe was Christianized? Did Ethiopia enslave itself? Did the Bible oppress Axum? The logic of “the colonizers brought it, so it must be a tool of colonization” does not survive contact with history. The colonizers also brought Western medicine, railways, and the English language. What actually oppressed Africa was not a book. It was guns, ships, economic incentives, political betrayal by local collaborators, and a global system designed to extract. The Bible was the costume worn by that system, not the engine driving it. If someone uses a hammer to commit murder, the hammer is not a murder weapon. It is a tool that was misused. You do not throw away every hammer in existence. You hold the man accountable. Hold the slaveholders accountable, not the scriptures they twisted. Rejecting the Bible because Europeans misused it is doing exactly what they want, surrendering your own ability to encounter truth because of what someone else did with it. That is not decolonization. That is just a different kind of intellectual captivity. This is 2026, stop all this nonsense takes. Read or just admit you prefer idol worshipping to the bible and stay there.

Last week I told you people that I am just a CONCERNED NIGERIAN. Una say I be pan African. I refused. Today is exactly why I refused to be boxed. Because I know that once you box anyone into any position. You force them to agree with you. I still want to be able to talk about how Nigeria is affected. The hands behind it. Tech and design. Sales and marketing. The Pan Africanist movement is good and healthy for us but once it boxes you into accepting everything it says. It is just another RELIGION

Agreed. People shouldn't be boxed in if they don't want to be. That said, reading your work—excellent in my view—and seeing how clearly thought-through your arguments are in the service of educating Africans, I don't see how you're not Pan-African. Your view on religion is yours. We can't take that away from you, and we can't even try. If you ever see reasons to reconsider your position on religion, it would be great to read what led you there. If you don't, that's also OK. It doesn't have to distract from the common goal of educating our people and helping them become more aware.

Biggest Mack @Big_Mck, I will respond to you again. You mentioned three things that are factually incorrect about the role of the Bible in slavery: 1. You said the Bible is not divine because humans compiled it. 2. You said Europeans who misused the Bible were the ones who compiled it. 3. You suggest Christianity is inherently imperial to Africa. Let me start with the third point. Christianity may have been born in the Middle East, but it grew up in Africa. That’s right. The intellectual framework that forms the doctrinal epistemology of Christianity was largely developed in these three African regions: Alexandria in Egypt Hippo in Algeria Carthage in Tunisia Biggest Mack, do you know the major milestones in Christianity that emerged from these African centers? The Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint, was translated by 70 scholars in Alexandria. Church fathers like Origen and Clement systematized Christian theology there as well. The first person to write a sustained theological framework that shaped later Trinitarian language was Tertullian of Carthage (Tunisia). Even more crucially, Augustine of Hippo (modern-day Algeria) is one of the most influential figures in Western Christianity. His writings on grace, sin, the church, and salvation underpin much of Catholic and Protestant theology. To be blunt, if you remove Augustine, a significant portion of Western Christian theological structure collapses. His influence is not peripheral; it is foundational. And he was from Algeria. Did you also know that councils that shaped the early biblical canon were held in Hippo and Carthage, modern-day Algeria and Tunisia? The idea that Christianity simply “came to Africa” is a display of historical ignorance. Now to the moral question of slavery. How can Christianity be accused of being the root of slavery when Scripture directly undermines its moral justification? Paul writes on the ethical treatment of slaves, which was strange in a Roman world that legally considered them property: “Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.” — Colossians 4:1 “And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.” — Ephesians 6:9 Paul also directly reframes the master–slave relationship in Christ, calling slaves brethren with their masters: “Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour.. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren...'— 1 Timothy 6:1–2 That last line is crucial: “because they are brethren.” The implication is that even within a socially unequal system, the gospel redefines the moral relationship entirely. Paul also explicitly condemns slave trading: “The law is made… for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for SLAVE TRADERS, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine.” — 1 Timothy 1:9–10 The term here is explicitly rendered as “slave traders.” That places slave trading in the same moral category as murder and sexual immorality. This is not the moral framework of endorsement; it is moral condemnation. This theological framework later informed abolitionist Christianity in Europe, the same intellectual tradition that fueled movements against slavery. Christian thought introduced a universal moral vision of human worth. Before this, moral status was largely tied to geography, gender, genealogy, or social status. As a result, slaves, women, and the disabled were often treated as having diminished or no intrinsic moral worth. Christianity introduced the idea of universal moral equality, which later influenced modern human rights discourse, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. So why accuse the Bible of perpetuating a system it provided one of the earliest moral critiques against? Furthermore, slavery predates Christianity entirely. Humans were among the earliest commodities humans traded. There was no industrial economy; much of ancient production depended on forced labor. In parts of the Roman Empire, slaves made up more than 50% of the population. Slaveholding was widespread across civilizations. Historical records also show African participation in slave trading, including the sale of captives to Arab traders. But it was Christian abolitionist movements that eventually pushed for the dismantling of slavery as an institution. For example, Britain spent approximately £20 million compensating slave owners in 1833 (equivalent to billions today). This debt was only fully repaid in 2015. The British Royal Navy also lost thousands of sailors enforcing anti–slave trade patrols. They even used military force against local rulers such as King Kosoko in Lagos when treaties to abolish the trade were resisted. Slavery was ended in a world where it was globally normalized. Finally, you argue that the Bible is not divine because humans compiled it. Why must it be either/or? Divine origin does not exclude human transmission. The fact that humans compiled the canon does not negate divine inspiration; it reflects the means of transmission, not the source. The Bible is understood as divinely inspired yet written and compiled through human authors guided by God. That is your argument addressed point by point. I would encourage you to study the subjects you are engaging with more deeply. Lest you veil intellectual ignorance under the guise of activism.

“Rejecting the Bible because Europeans misused” Misused it? Really? Let’s start with what the Bible that you read today actually is. It’s literally a collection of books. A library. Not some divine decree. Guess who put them together? The same people you claim only misused it. Well, if you must know, it was put together for the purpose of misusing it. Btw, a piece of advice. You need to really define what ideology you stand for, because playing Christianity defender and African defender at the same time will never work. You will keep embarrassing yourself. You must think the brand of Christianity you practice today means the same thing to you as it does to those who invented it.

How can one twist a book that was intentionally designed to support numerous conflicting ideas? How can anyone be blamed for misrepresenting a book that was created specifically for that purpose—to be misrepresented? The people who used the Bible to justify enslaving others were not twisting its words. Those who used the Bible to oppose slavery were also not twisting its message. This is by design. The Bible was compiled by imperialists to be flexible—suitable for any era, any period, any idea, literally—to sustain the illusion of timeless relevance and to ensure that the imperialist religion continues to garner support from its victims-turned-followers regardless of the social era in which they find themselves, since any viewpoint at any point in time can be justified using some verse from the Bible. Like all other so-called holy books, the Bible is an imperialist project, and Africans would do well to recognise it for what it truly is.

Olodo, Which stupid evidence . Nigeria’s stock market hit ₦145tr under Tinubu, but the naira collapsed 200% since 2023, meaning that number is just a weaker currency doing accounting tricks. Zimbabwe’s stock market was the world’s best performer in 2008, in Zimbabwean dollars, while people couldn’t afford bread. Food inflation peaked at 40%, transport doubled, headline inflation hit 29.9% in Jan 2024, and 97.7% of Nigerians own zero stocks. The ₦145tr didn’t feed anyone, lower any costs, or reach any pocket. The number is real. The conclusion is a lie.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ We see you people for what you are. All these psychology to sell us pharoah. Bolaji was even subtle, you came out with foolishness.
