Look at what they did to their class rep after he stole 1.4 million naira meant for their handouts 😭

"You grew up hearing tales," and that is precisely the problem. Because you have never stopped to ask yourself WHY you heard those specific tales and WHO made sure you heard those tales. You "grew up hearing" that Abacha supposedly stole $4bn, but there is ACTUAL DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE that his immediate military predecessor made at least $12bn of Nigeria's Gulf War oil windfall disappear into private hands - why didn't you "grow up hearing" that? You "grew up hearing" that Abacha was a "corrupt dictator," but why did you NOT "grow up hearing" that the actual dictator who occupied that seat before him singlehandedly minted at least 3 of the USD billionaires that you worship today, including his wife's tailor that was awarded an oil block and is now Africa's richest woman, or another one that was a taxi driver and now owns a telco and an oil company? Who made sure you didn't hear that, but you heard something about Abacha? You "grew up hearing" that Nigerians suffered economically under Abacha, but you can NEVER prove it with numbers because IT IS NOT TRUE! Nigerians did suffer from fuel shortages and other things that led to the infamous Abacha stove, but numbers cannot lie and the numbers show that inflation in Nigeria under Abacha fell to single digits, the USD exchange rate fell and stabilised remarkably, and Nigeria's foreign reserves grew from $200m to over $9bn - without high oil prices. Since the "Abacha hardship" cannot be proven with numbers - which directly contradict the narrative - someone has made sure that you "grew up hearing tales" and anecdotes in lieu of actual facts, figures and data. And funny enough, even in filling your heads with those anecdotes and stories, the period of 1985-1993, which was actually the most damaging period in Nigeria's entire postwar history, is NEVER mentioned. You hear a lot about Abacha killing people extra judicially, but you NEVER hear that extra judicial killing of private citizens first became institutionalised under Ibrahim Babangida - to the point of sending letter bombs to kill journalists. You NEVER hear that the first time in Nigeria's history when Nigerians began emigrating enmasse was during that period, and that the reason why almost every urban Nigerian family is split across multiple countries and continents is Ibrahim Babangida and his ruinous SAP era. You don't hear about how drug trafficking became so institutionalised under Babangida that people like Bola Tinubu started vying for political office in 1992. You don't hear about how Babangida was instrumental in reducing Nigeria's influence in Africa by cutting funding to African liberation movements, while providing funding and support to his fellow CIA assets like Yoweri Museveni to gain power that they have not relinquished since 1985. You instead "grew up hearing" one specific set of stories to reinforce one specific idea in your mind, so that even when you come across hard numbers and facts that contradict the stories, they have become part of your emotional makeup and are impossible to dislodge. This was EXACTLY how the exact same American information warriors came in 2015 - when Nigeria was enjoying its biggest economic breakout since 1974 and was the 3rd fastest growing economy on the planet - and they started filling your head with stories about how "Jonathan is corrupt and incompetent" and you had never had it that bad before, to the point where you voluntarily went to the polls and removed the guy who took you into the MINT bloc, only to replace him with Muhammadu fucking Buhari. Now here you are 11 years later, and you clearly still don't understand the power of storytelling to mess up your mind and destroy your life. Continue cursing Abacha like Washington wants you to. Shebi his murder brought prosperity to Nigeria and you're better off now? Whenever you wake up will be your morning.

It annoys me that so many people are under the impression that this guy, Steven Bradbury, is some subpar goober who lucked his way into gold. That could not be further from the truth. This is one of the most satisfying victories in the history of the Olympics if you know the full backstory. This medal final was during his fourth Olympics, in Salt Lake City in 2002. Earlier in his career, he was among the best athletes in the world in this specific event, the 1000 meter short-track men's speed skate. But despite his talent, he just had some of the shittiest luck in the sport. We're talking a decade of shit luck. In the '94 Winter Olympics, he was considered the odds-on favorite to take gold, but he fell in his heat after getting illegally pushed by an opponent (who was later disqualified). He didn't get a re-do. That was it. He got shoved by some asshole, and his Olympics was over. Then in the '98 Winter Olympics, he was a favorite to at least medal in the same event but got caught up in a collision that wasn't his fault and failed to advance. In 1994, he got his thigh sliced open by a competitor's skate during a race, which required 111 stitches and 18 months of recovery time. In 2000, he broke his neck during training because a skater in front of him fell and tripped him up. That required a bunch of screws and plates being inserted into his skull and back and chest. And doctors told him that he should stop skating. But he didn't wanna give up. It meant too much to him. So, there he was in Salt Lake City in 2002, past his prime, a walking erector set, going up against opponents who were faster and younger and in their prime. He manages to win his heat and advance to the quarterfinal but then has the shit luck (yet again) of having to go up against the best two athletes in the quarterfinal and only the top two advance. He finishes third and thinks: "Damn, I gave it my best shot." But then, the second place finisher is disqualified, so Bradbury gets to advance to the semifinal. Now, at this point, he's thinking: Well, shit, I'm not as fast as these younger guys, and I got a bad habit of getting taken out by crashes that aren't my fault. So, he consults with the Australian national coach, Ann Zhang, and they decide that he should hang back from the pack and hope the pack crashes. That is a perfectly valid strategy. If you crash, you lose, but speed skaters risk crashing to gain an advantage in order to win. It may not feel exciting, but it is a valid strategy and just as risky: avoid crashes entirely and hope that pays off. It paid off in the semifinal: the pack, including the defending Olympic champion, jostled too much and crashed. Bradbury wins and advances. So, he's improbably in the final and takes the same approach, and it works: the entire pack jostles too much and crashes, and Bradbury's risk of hanging back pays off. This victory was not some un-athletic schlub lucking his way into gold. It was a journeyman athlete who never gave up and played smart after a career of shitty luck and finally got his due after it being snatched away from him so many times. Hands down, one of my favorite Olympics stories.
