Be swift to hear and slow to speak. Be humble, because you may be wrong.

@TiborPNagyJr Your president plans to prevent your citizens from voting, that should concern you more.

If famed Nigerian human rights lawyer Femi Falana accuses Nigeria's ruling APC Party of manipulating the judiciary to try and bring about a one-party state by destroying the opposition, then the world should pay attention. Elections coming in months. theafricareport.com/413910/nigeria…

@leyeConnect A symbol of continuity, resilience, and victory. We will remember him for his good deeds, as he sets out to become the greatest Nigerian leader ever.

The good thing about branding is that we will always remember this symbol just like we remember the swastika and shame awaits everyone on whose cap or cloth we saw it and associated with it. History will remember it as the symbol of a fantastically failed government.

I’m confused, What does this cap even mean?

@eniolaDS @johnkonrad Damn near every European nation is in steep financial difficulty. Your leaders take you further under by turning a blind eye to the disgusting issue of mass immigration and the slow death of your own haughty civilized culture.

John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad·
NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

@Jofn66 @mpharjo77 @johnkonrad What’s worse is that most of them think their country hands over the cash to NATO partners.

@mpharjo77 @eniolaDS @johnkonrad Lies and more lies. The target set for 2024 was 2%, and ALL countries met it. The target for 2035 is 3.5%. Some countries have already met it, but the US is NOT among an additional 1.5% to protect infrastructure; this was agreed upon a few months ago. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@eddybabs101 @Letter_to_Jack No one called him before he got to work. It's just that many Lagos overflow lives in his state and expect him to fix everything at once. A state the size of a region, but there is zero depth to political commentary here. He has always been one of the best in road infra.

@Jofn66 @eniolaDS @johnkonrad If us demanding you live up to the terms of the agreement somehow is perceived as an insult, than you're mental capabilities are on par with a spoiled child. We don't want to leave, you're pushing us out. Fine, we'll leave then.

Tired of the willfully ignorant..
@eniolaDS @johnkonrad I can't think of a single thing that the EU exports to the US that we actually require to exist, we are a fully functioning civilization that frankly would be better off buying everything from ourselves. I hope you get yr wish & we cut off all funding & exports/imports to the US.

@rocknrolldr74 @enochhowl @johnkonrad The US cut the energy pipeline. Most of your and others' comments here support the sentiment that Americans are ignorant. A country with so many smart people, but has enough ignorant folks to vote in one of their own and run the world aground.

@eniolaDS @enochhowl @johnkonrad Yeah since Russia cut off gasoline exports to you catamite retards, you now can either buy from us or pay double on the gray market. Take your pick. Personally, I am all for cutting you off and letting you freeze in the dark. You deserve it.

@enochhowl @johnkonrad @eniolaDS Yes there is due to their arrogant, shitty attitude and inability to show gratitude for anything. Don't worry when you're begging for oil when the lights go out. Don't say I didn't warn you pigs.

1- As of 2022, Kano has 4.2m pupils in basic edu vs 1.5m in Lagos. 2- Kano is not in a desert. It's in the savannah, served by rivers. 3- Kano's landmass is X3 of Lagos, so more room to accommodate a growing pop. Lagos cannot retain its pop which then spills into Ogun.
chief sọm@chisomholic

Kano state CANNOT have more population than Lagos state. In all of world history, it's only in Nigeria that people prefer to live in the arid dusty deserts of the North than live close to the waters and vegetation in the South. 🤡

@eniolaDS @johnkonrad Unfortunately, it's nit BS. Just think that the US actually could have moved the Lourve to the US. The Marshall pal was paid for by the tax payers of the US and what do we get in return? Bases we can't use and sneering. Let's see how it goes when america stops paying the bills

@eniolaDS @johnkonrad That’s not BS. Ask AI to calculate based on population numbers and historical expenditures of nato countries to estimate how much Americans overpaid over the years of NATO existence. It’s over $10T usd. The huge gov debt that they have is what they paid for European welfare state

@TxnNSC @eniolaDS @johnkonrad It’s should be put in US national priorities to make them pay. To calculate and estimate how much exactly USA overpaid. To make them accept their share of underpaid funding for NATO. To make them teach their kids about all that so they ALL know how much exactly they owe

@eniolaDS @TxnNSC @johnkonrad Is Europe a single country? How much do individual countries contribute to defense? Europe is 44ish separate armies that only look good on paper. Without NATO and America, Europe is but a shadow of what it was 100 years ago. This dog don’t hunt no more
