One of the biggest blunders by African revolutionary leaders was not taking full ownership of their media and education systems. They never properly taught their people who the true enemies were all because they feared being labeled racists.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lmao. Now that he's not OK with Obi-Kwankwaso, I'm guessing I would have less trouble convincing the usual suspects that he’s in fact a CIA operative. Una never see anything. By the time these spies finish using and dumping you in 2027, you will receive sense by force.
Mike Arnold@MikeArnoldTruth

NO, I AM NOT OK WITH OBI-KWANKWASO — AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE, EITHER I like Peter Obi. I am not sold on him yet, but he has potential and I have an open mind. What will close my mind instantly, without any wiggle room, is an Obi-Kwankwaso ticket. Nigeria does not need more of the same. It does not need different gasoline running through the same engine. It does not need a different conductor on the train — not when the train has to follow the same damnable tracks. Why am I against Kwankwaso? Simple. He is the Sultan's man. Most inside of the inner circle. A sniveling bootlicker to Sokoto in a five-decade career arc that has changed parties five times — PDP to APC to NNPP to ADC to NDC — but never once strayed from fealty to the throne. When the future Sultan was — as a senior officer of an OIC nation — operating in the shadows during the war on terror, his assignment from the Nigerian government assignment was to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Every active jihadi theater of the post-9/11 era. One Nigerian Defense Attache who is a descendant of Muhammed. Five radical Islamic countries. Three years. There are only two other people in the Nigerian government who knew what he was up to. The President. And Kwankwaso, who was serving as Defense Minster at the time. Incidentally — when the future Sultan returned from this post in 2006, not long after, the top ten reform-minded generals of the Nigerian Army died in a plane crash. The committee Obasanjo had assembled to clean up the military, gone in one flight. A few weeks later, the sitting Sultan, his son and heir Senator Badamasi Maccido, and several grandchildren were killed in another plane crash. The Abuja airport radar was turned off when their plane went down. The Aviation Minister declared it pilot error within 24 hours. The President ordered arrests of aviation officials within 48. Question closed. The future Sultan was turbaned four days later. Record time. Skipping past Maccido's surviving adult sons and past dozens of older brothers in the line — Sa'ad Abubakar was the youngest of 52 children of Sultan Siddiq Abubakar III. The Sultanate Council reached past all of them. And not long after that, all those terrorist groups from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia started showing up in Nigeria — where they have been slaughtering Christians and raping the land ever since. The Defence Minister through every one of those events was Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. That is not the only stain on his record. As Governor of Kano State, Kwankwaso formally declared Sharia law on June 21, 2000, and established the Hisbah Board — the religious enforcement agency that has been arresting Kano residents for "improper dress" and "indecent mixing of the sexes" ever since. He lost his re-election in 2003 anyway, for being insufficiently Islamic for the Kano clerical establishment. Obasanjo handed him the Defence Ministry the same year. When he returned as Kano Governor from 2011 to 2015, he left behind allegations that he misappropriated roughly N10 billion in pension contributions from Kano state workers. The EFCC interrogated him over it in 2021 and sealed his property. The investigation has stalled. A separate panel found that the EFCC chairman at the time had personally directed his operatives not to investigate Kwankwaso. Today his nephew Musa Garba is under criminal investigation in Kano for a multi-billion-naira pharmaceutical procurement fraud allegedly tied to a contract awarded to his company without due process. Kwankwaso is publicly accused of interfering with the investigation to protect him. Sharia. Hisbah. Pension funds. Pharmaceutical contracts. The defence ministry during a genocide. A different party every cycle. And now the vice presidency. That is why I will actively oppose any ticket with Kwankwaso on it. No matter who is on top. Peter Obi, if you want my open mind, pick a running mate who is not a puppet of the Sultan. #EarthShaker @PeterObi

I am so tired of continental Africans not knowing who the real enemies are. Our economies are perpetually under siege through pernicious andunequal trade practices managed by the white man and his related institutions, yet Africans are the enemy?

Once you start studying Chinese economists there is no going back. The Chinese understand structuring & regulating markets to a T. They also understand the aim of markets, improving human well being. Not just number go up. Number go up is a means to the well being.
OptimisticRaidersFan@Optimistic24228

Western economists have low and pitiful standards. Their standards are "make capitalist economics look good" lmao. You get more rigor from an undergraduate writing a life science review paper ⚰️

Nigerians are being brainwashed into believing their ginger sector collapsed due to devastating fungal blight (Ginger Blight), which is a big lie. The fact is the adoption of Genetically Modified ginger. The same happened in Burkina Faso when it lost its cotton markets and exports due to adopting Genetically Modified cotton, which yielded shorter fibers of lower quality that fetched lower prices on the international market, while weakening indigenous crops and compromising soil health. This is the same outcome for the Nigerian ginger market.
👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊@UnkleAyo

I wrote this thread, last year - as a subject authority. This year, the Nigerian ginger sector has crashed. The news I'm reading is that - ginger farmers were given GMO seeds which caused fungal blight and wiped out our entire export base. I warned you.

Bro, if your stay is unstable in the Uk 🇬🇧 or your COS is having some question mark — stay in the UK -don’t travel oh until you sort things out. If you travel to Nigeria and you can’t return— you’ll understand what we’re saying. Nigeria of 2026 is mini hell oo— Tinubu has disorganised the country.

Kwame Nkrumah called it in 1965 neocolonialism: control without occupation. Walter Rodney showed how the system was designed to underdevelop us. Samir Amin proved mathematically that the global financial order locks the periphery in permanent service of the core.

That is because Vietnam has industrialised because they have been allowed to industrialised by the white man. Whilst in Africa, industrialisation has been blocked. If Africa becomes industrialised and starts adding value to its resources, they can’t have them cheaper anymore.
Magatte Wade@magattew

Vietnam was devastated by decades of war, bombings, and failed socialist policies, yet it began growing rapidly once it liberalized parts of its economy. Ethiopia was never colonized, yet for decades it was it was the poster child of poverty and famine on the continent. History matters, but so do the economic policies countries choose today.

I’ve been married for five years, and my wife does most of the cooking and cleaning. I hardly do those things. Why? Because she cooks three types of meals on the weekend that last from Monday to Friday. She only does laundry on weekends. She only cleans on weekends. We also do our shopping only on weekends. I had to help create these routines for her because she kept complaining about the “mental load” crap. Women create a lot of this mental load for themselves and then complain that motherhood is hard. No, you made motherhood hard on yourselves. She doesn’t have to deep-clean the floor late at night. She can do it tomorrow. She doesn’t have to do laundry late at night either. Laundry can even be done on the weekend. She doesn’t have to wash the dishes immediately; they can wait until tomorrow.

Also, Singapore has no natural resources, hence there has been a lot less meddling, nor a resource curse. In Congo, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa, cote d’Ivoire etc. colonisation has continued unabated, if under different, and sometimes more vicious, forms

“Leftists just want to become the rich.” Meanwhile Joseph Stalin died without private corporations, inherited wealth, or billionaire assets. His personal possessions were reportedly modest, consisting mainly of uniforms, books, and personal items. Mao Zedong also did not leave behind private property empires or capitalist fortunes. Stalin’s son Yakov died after being captured fighting the Nazis and refusing collaboration in captivity. Mao’s son Mao Anying died during the Korean War. Neither Stalin nor Mao built billionaire dynasties, inherited monopolies, or oligarch families living off political power like we see under modern capitalism.
Alice Smith@TheAliceSmith

Leftism was always a pseudo radical movement. They don’t want to smash the system and eat the rich. They want to control the system and become the rich.
