For a long time, he's been the lonely voice in the jungle crying out. This is the unrepentant stance every influencer and celebrity should take. Posterity will be kind to Tunde Ednut.

Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug. You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form. You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages. You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution. You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis. You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from. Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.

How did school teach us about the Amazon so much & never once mention the Congo Basin? It's the world's largest tropical carbon sink. The planet is literally breathing through it & nobody thought we should know 😳

Pan-Africanists are and have always been right about everything. It's really just as simple as that. Whether you have the moral fortitude and intellectual humility to haul yourself over the 60-metre high obstacle that is your own petty ego is another matter entirely.

“If you like travelling to the village during the Christmas and New Year period, you might be the reason INEC scheduled the presidential election for January 16, 2027. As Nigerians who are suffering, we must do everything possible to be close to our polling units during the election period. So, if possible, don’t travel this Christmas. If you miss this year’s trip, nobody will disown you. You can travel after the election.” — Young Nigerian youth advises those planning to travel for Christmas

THIS IS HOW NIGERIANS MUST STOP WIKE AND INEC RIGGING 2027; 'OPERATION LAUNCH YOUR BAG' Save this, share, and let everyone know this is the safest and cheapest way to secure your votes 🗳️ 2027 is a BALLOT REVOLUTION!

NOBODY SHOULD TAKE THE BODY OF CHRIST FOR GRANTED!‼️ To the agents of the devil in our nation 🇳🇬, in the name of Jesus, the Lord rebuke you, and the devil that spoke through you and everything that you represent. The Body of Christ is here, and will be here for a very long time. So, repent, have a change of mindset, and turn away from every opposition against the Church. The Church of Jesus Christ will continue to stand, prevail, and advance in the power of God! 🔥👏

Pastor Paul Enenche responds to Sheikh Jingir, who is @BashirAhmaad’s idol & mentor.

I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes. A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong. They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible. They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy. Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month. The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do. Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less. At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went. Nothing happened to you. The economy happened to you. And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough. Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for. You didn’t lose your job. You didn’t lose your salary. But somehow, you lost your standard of living. That is poverty too. And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives. Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief. But surely, the bigger question should be: Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place? If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger. But it has not solved the actual problem. The real problem is that his labour has lost value. And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing. How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again? How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less? How do we make food cheaper by producing more? How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation? How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living? Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money. It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value. There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour. There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching. There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing. There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve. People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.” Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.” That is the part that keeps bothering me. Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight. They just want hard work to make sense again. And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working: Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer? Everything else is secondary.
