“..Copying is when there is no transformation, no recontextualisation, and no commentary. There is only extraction: taking someone else’s creative equity and converting it straight into sales.
To put it more clearly:
Referencing is drawing from the same visual history or cultural moment, shared silhouettes, inherited forms, and parallel aesthetics that evolved independently. It means building on what already exists in order to arrive somewhere new.
Copying is reproducing a specific creative idea with minimal or no transformation, no credit, and no intent beyond commercial extraction. It’s creating near-identical products designed to substitute for the original in the same market.”

@General_Somto One day, Nigeria will prevail.
Not parties, not individuals, but the country.
Until that day comes when we all collectively decide to put our country first, more AGBADo and EWA go touch una.

This comparison is intellectually dishonest.
South Africa’s personal income tax ≈ ₦60tr.
Nigeria’s ≈ ₦3tr.
And we’re supposed to conclude:
“People opposing tax reforms are just tax evaders”?
That’s not analysis.
That’s misdirection.
Let’s deal in facts.
1. You cannot tax income that does not exist.
South Africa has:
• A far larger formal labor force
• Higher median wages
• Stable payroll systems
• Reliable employer reporting
Nigeria has:
• Over 60% informal employment
• Millions earning below subsistence level
• Wages eroded by inflation
• Weak payroll enforcement
You don’t get South Africa level income tax from a population that is largely informal and underpaid. That’s arithmetic, not ideology.
2. Tax revenue reflects state capacity, not citizen morality.
Countries don’t collect taxes because citizens are “obedient”.
They collect taxes because:
• Income is traceable
• Services are visible
• Enforcement is credible
• Trust exists
Nigeria struggles with all four.
Blaming citizens for structural failure is policy cowardice.
3. South Africa taxes income, Nigeria taxes survival.
In Nigeria:
• VAT hits the poor hardest
• Inflation is a hidden tax
• FX instability destroys real wages
• Fuel and power costs are privatized
When people resist “reforms”, it’s not because they’re criminals.
It’s because the state keeps extracting without delivering.
4. High tax revenue is an outcome, not a starting point.
South Africa didn’t tax first and then build institutions.
It built:
• Functional registries
• Banked wage systems
• Enforceable contracts
• Credible public services
Then taxes followed.
Trying to reverse that order is how states collapse legitimacy.
5. The laziest argument in public policy:
“Anyone who disagrees with us must be guilty.”
That logic would mean:
• The poor oppose taxes because they’re criminals
• Businesses resist taxes because they’re immoral
• Citizens complain because they’re dishonest
No.
They complain because the social contract is broken.
Bottom line:
Low tax revenue in Nigeria is not proof of tax evasion.
It is proof of:
• Informality
• Low productivity
• Policy failure
• Weak institutions
Until government fixes income, stability, and trust, tax “reforms” will look like punishment, not progress.
You cannot tax your way out of economic dysfunction.
You must build your way out first.

🗣️South Africa generates over ₦60 trillion from personal income tax. Nigeria? Under ₦3 trillion. 🗣️Many people fighting these reforms won’t tell you why it’s because they’ve made money for years without paying taxes. @taiwoyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms. He spoke at the January Business Breakfast of the Franco-Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Lagos (@CCIFN ) #LetTalk

Nestlé has recalled these baby products.
So before you mix that next bottle for your baby, read this thread carefully as it concerns their well being.
If you feed your baby NAN, SMA, or Alfamino, a toxic bacteria has been found in some batches. And you might have it in your house right now.
You see, Nestlé has issued a massive global recall for several baby formulas (products in the image above) because they found a toxin called Cereulide (from Bacillus cereus bacteria) in some batches.
This toxin causes severe nausea and vomiting in babies. And the scary part is that boiling water does NOT kill it. The toxin is heat-resistant. So even if you prepare the formula correctly, if the powder itself is contaminated, your baby is at risk.
Now, NAFDAC has not released a specific alert for Nigeria yet. BUT our markets are porous. And people import ‘UK SMA’ and ‘Imported NAN’ every single day. So if you buy your formula from supermarkets that stock imported goods, or you bought it abroad, you need to check the last stock to see if your tin look like any of those products.
If yes, go to Nestle’s UK Website (SMA & Alfamino) and Nestle’s MENA Website (NAN) to verify if your batch does not fall under the recalled ones.
If your batch code matches the ones on that list, please DO NOT USE IT.
And please, don't keep this information to yourself.
If you have a friend, sister, or neighbor who uses SMA, NAN, or Alfamino, retweet this or send this to them NOW.
You might be saving a baby from poisoning today.

Hi northerners, come and read, but make sure you do so, with open minds and sincerity in your hearts.
“₦1 billion was paid to bandits by the present government of Kaduna. They are paying bandits. They apologise to bandits. If the governor or anyone in the government disagrees, let them deny it, we have the evidence.”
— Nasir El-Rufai
“Bandits are our heroes inside the bush. We don’t want a government that will kill them; we want a government that will negotiate with them. If we negotiate with them, they’ll protect our bush.”
— Sheikh Ahmad Gumi
“We went to Sheikh Gumi’s house. We contributed ₦800,000. We pleaded with him, especially me and some other women. We told him we are widows. That he should help us. He said we should go and bring money. We said we don’t have any more money. He said the ₦800,000 is just for his transport fare to go and meet them.”
— One of the mothers of the kidnapped girls
These statements and many other ridiculous ones were made openly. Publicly. Confidently. And yet, there was no united outrage, no collective condemnation from leaders or communities in the North, some of your social media influencers were silent too. In fact, many people even defended these narratives, as if the rest of the country is blind to the suffering, kidnappings, killings, and chaos happening daily.
But the moment “The Herds,” a movie reflecting the painful reality of insecurity, was released, suddenly you people found your voice. Suddenly there was anger. Suddenly there was unity, but against a film, not against the terrorists destroying lives.
Let’s be honest:
The majority of terror attacks Nigeria has endured for over a decade, from kidnappings, banditry, Boko Haram, ISWAP all have come and operating primarily from the North. That is a fact nobody can deny.
But instead of confronting these extremist groups head-on, holding leaders accountable, and collectively rejecting the ideology that fuels them, too many people remain silent or worse, offer excuses.
Until Northern political leaders, traditional rulers, religious voices, and community influencers collectively stand up and say:
“This is wrong.”
“This is not Islam.”
“These criminals do not represent us.”
…then the world will continue to associate the region with terrorism and those who excuse it.
No region, tribe, or religion deserves that kind of stigma. But only the people from within can change the narrative.
Nigeria cannot heal if the North does not confront the extremists hiding among its own people.
And Nigeria cannot be safe until all of us, North, South, East, West, Christian, Muslim, unite against those who profit from bloodshed.
