One Nigerian wants to kill another Nigerian for insulting an Arabian that lived in the 7th century.

"Despite those outsize Silicon Valley fortunes, most U.S.-based billionaires didn’t make their wealth in tech. About 300 came from banking and finance, compared with roughly 110 from the tech sector. Another 75 came from real estate." wsj.com/finance/investing/wh…

A lot of people in the American far right think that Russia is the whitest country in Europe and that it’s the last bastion of European civilization against nonwhite people. It shows you how ignorant they are considering Russia has the largest Muslim population in Europe.

I firmly believe Kristi Noem initially expanded ICE/recruited her force through the member roles of extremists organizations like Proud Boys, 3%ers, and the former Identity Evropa & League of the South. Many of these members were financially struggling during Biden years, if not jailed for involvement in J6. They would be the first recruits. This new ICE charter is a dream job for them. This new employment would also explain why the groups no longer gather for public demonstrations (weird how that disappeared, no?)
I believe blue state AGs have access to the names of ICE officers in their states. It’s time for journalists who were on the alt-right/neo-nazi extremism beat to work their sources and cross reference those names.
Big story here.

Good to know the rail of Argentina is being fully funded while our projects domestically get defunded lol
$2.1 billion in Chicago infrastructure projects--specifically the Red Line Extension and the Red and Purple Modernization Project--have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing via race-based contracting. More info to come soon from @USDOT.

I watched an interview that Steven Nduwku did with the owner of NORD.
Steven suggested that one of the ways the government can help local car manufacturers is to increase the tariffs on imported vehicles, and the guy agreed with him.
It didn't occur to literally anyone in the video that, actually, the best way is to find markets OUTSIDE Nigeria for Nigerian-made cars and pursue export discipline.
The NORD guy even went as far as using America's 100% tariffs on Chinese cars as something that's supposed to be a good example, EVEN THOUGH it's well documented that this is responsible for high car prices in the US and an erosion of the competitiveness of American car companies.
Using a cautionary tale as a success story.
This is exactly what I mean, Nigerians are fond of terrible policies, but cry out when the consequences bite back.
The problem with the theory of neo-colonialism is that most of the key policies that kept Africa poor are policies that were popular amongst Africans when they were being implemented.
A key example is buharinomics, highly popular while being implemented, but when the consequences struck, conspiracy theorists on here started quoting NSSM 200 and saying the US engineered our downfall.

We are tragically living in a time where our patriotism and even our Christianity is being measured by how ruthless and inhumane we can be rather than by how merciful and compassionate we can be.

I’ve lived in multiple parts of Nigeria and I have personally visited at least 24 states by road so I understand. My father was in the military. My family is religiously and tribally diverse.
It’s no surprise I get attacked here by all sorts of bigots. I know where bigotry leads

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.
You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, and the marginalized.

Nigeria is at war with terrorists, insurgents, bandits, separatists, kidnappers, robbers and all sorts of non state actors.
If you think it’s Ted Cruz and Radio Genoa that are the solution, that’s on you.
I will not subscribe to religious, ethnic, racial baiting. I will continue to hold the government accountable in all the ways I can and continue to support victims of all forms of terrorism and indiscriminate violence as is within my financial and physical capacity not chase agendas on Twitter like you.
I know who I am and I stand by every single thing I say, tweet, do or think.

The most insane fact about the new Huajiang Canyon Bridge isn't that it cost less than $300m to build (less than what the US spends on its military in a single morning) but that it was built with tourism facilities that will welcome 1 million visitors a year (cj.sina.com.cn/articles/view…).
They can pay for a whole range of experiences from a basic glass bridge observation (99 yuan) to extreme sports packages costing up to 2,999 yuan (which includes bungee jumping off the bridge: 163.com/dy/article/KAMNR2IK0…).
Which means there are good chances that this bridge will pay for itself within just a few years, with tourism alone.

Well, MAGAs, you owned the Libs, and all it cost you was a fuctioning government, a working democracy, human rights, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, global standing.
Good for you!

Cecil Rhodes, a contemporary of Lugard, described the Chinese as thus;
The Chinese are a very good type of people, but they are, of course, no use outside their own country except as hewers of wood and drawers of water.
These of course, is racist drivel from racist White men who saw the World in purely racial terms.
A key difference between Asians and Nigerians - is Nigerians have taken their words to heart - and reinforced a cycle of inferiority complex, leading to hopelessness, leading to an unwillingness to act - which leads us to where we are today.
In Africa, the Senegalese people took their own destiny into their hands. In contrast, Nigerians daily reinforce a self-defeating belief, "there is nothing we can do".
My ancestors never put up with Lugard's bullshit, that's why they kept telling themselves, onye kwe, chi ya ekwe.
In The Dual Mandate, Lugard described the "typical African" as having a simple, childlike temperament, lacking self-control and foresight, and possessing intellectual inferiority. He also claimed Africans were deficient in organization and had an underdeveloped spirituality.
In as much as we call these views racism, I will like to dig deep by saying was Lugard wrong, Since we gained independence have we organized?, Have we not promoted tribalism and nepotism?, Have we not built an elite class on rentier system,
Have we developed our institutions? The British left 3000km of railway line, we have only added over 1000km to it. In British 100 years of colonization , they have built more rail in Nigeria than we have built since we gained independence!
In over 65 years of independence, we have struggled to produce about 5-6,000 MW, while we see what Egypt has done.
When we had the oil boom in the 70s, by the 80s we were broke.
Didn’t we distribute import licenses to party politicians in the 80s that destroyed our economy afterwards.
Didn’t we give out land and juicy gifts to politicians, Didn’t we play the winner takes it all game with Shagari’s party?.
Like Onyeka Onwenu Documentary says “We Squandered our riches”
Every generation, we keep creating rent seekers and we call them industrialist but the industries cannot build general wealth and increase the purchasing power of the society.
Only in Nigeria,the scenario plays out, where people that could barely afford clothes, now have private jets because they held political power in the span of 25years
Our young people are demoralized, they see the squander but the best they get is to be internet trolls for the politicians.
Reserves are high, inflation is coming down, our programs are working they say, but we see more hungry faces and homeless people, as basic rent for 2bed is over 2m.
Everyone wants to be a politician because the national cake is there to share, out of a 36 billion dollar budget graced by borrowing.
Who are we at 65? When people flee their homes in Ilorin due to banditry, but the same bandits are doing peace meetings and granting press conferences.
In Nigeria today, scientists are no longer celebrated, Gone are the days Chike-Obi was famous for Maths equations, Bandits are the celebrities, even politicians do photo-ups with them!
WHO are we at 65?

When you wanted to hound that art babe, you jumped on a night bus to Lagos. To fight terrorists for Kwara now, you de wait for vigilante.
Our forefathers fought gallantly in 1840 to stop this menace, we should not count that out too in 2025. We should empower our local vigilante groups with good pay and equipment to defend and protect Yoruba land. #KwaraisBleeding
