Nigerian food and beverage manufacturers often come up with fantastic business ideas and great flavors, but quality assurance is almost nonexistent.
It’s difficult to buy a locally manufactured product without noticing inconsistencies or a lack of attention to detail. Is it noodles? Open five packs and three may be missing the seasoning, or the portions won’t weigh the same. Evaporated milk can taste different each time you buy it. The size, color, and taste of beverages are rarely consistent.
My mum was a wholesaler for Nigerian Breweries and Coca-Cola back in the early 90s. We received between 700 and 900 crates of drinks in our warehouse every few weeks, so you can imagine the volume we handled. Even then, customers regularly complained. There were times when roaches and other insects were found inside sealed bottles. We would set those bottles aside and report them to the distribution manager, but nothing ever changed.
The most frustrating part is the apparent lack of concern. Instead of addressing these quality-control failures, some manufacturers would rather become defensive and fight the customers who call attention to them.

The most potent psychological conditioning of African Christians is linking spiritual merit to public humiliation, i.e, convincing them that embarrassing themselves in the name of evangelism increases their heavenly reward.
This is why they travel abroad and out of everything to do abroad, they choose preaching the same gospel that was used to enslave their ancestors.

“During campaigns and elections, our politicians move around with thugs, but during inauguration, they move around with their families.”
As the 2027 elections come, please always remember this. Anyone who uses you for something he is not willing to use his child for, doesn’t value you.
The same people who use you as thugs during elections will send their children abroad only to bring them back during inauguration into office, while they dump you back into the gutter where they picked you up for dirty jobs.

🚨 THIS IS EXACTLY WHY SO MANY OF US ARE SICK OF IT.
Two young British girls on a night out, visibly scared.
A bloke notices something isn’t right, walks over and starts asking if they’re okay. He checks whether the men hanging around them are actually WITH them.
The girls say NO.
One of the men is stood outside the club in jogging bottoms. The girls look terrified.
So this stranger refuses to just walk past and mind his own business. He stays with them and tells the men straight:
STOP HARASSING GIRLS.
And afterwards? The girls THANK him for stepping in.
This is what women and girls are dealing with.
A night out. Walking to a mate’s. Going to the shops. Getting home at night. Constantly looking over your shoulder and wondering whether that bloke following you is going to leave you alone.
And apparently we’re supposed to pretend nobody can see what’s happening?
We’re not “imagining” it.
WE’RE LIVING IT.
When are people going to stop pretending everything is fine?
Massive credit to the man who saw two frightened young women and actually DID something instead of walking away. 👏🇬🇧
More men like this.

The Americans did this to Kenya. Gave scholarships in the 60s for Kenyans to study "biblical studies" and missiology in predominantly white evangelical colleges. Not theology. What's the difference?
Biblical studies stops at the text of the bible. Missiology is about preaching to the unconverted natives, as if Christianity wasn't in Africa from 1AD. Theology, on the other hand, requires what Traore is talking about. Students must take units in psychology, political science, sociology, etc. In other words, a theology graduate must be able to talk about imperialism. And of course, with liberation and black theologies being prominent in the 1970s, the US didn't want Africans learning them. A biblical studies/missiology graduate says that such knowledge isn't "spiritual." In fact, when I was in school, preachers, many American, used to call theology evil. They used to say theology won't take us to heaven.
In 1974, JS Mbiti, who is now considered Kenya's *guru* of philosophy, ranted against black theology, saying it was obsessed with justice, but we Africans don't have political problems to talk about, we are happy in our faith. Black theologians were so shocked, they wrote a book to refute Mbiti. I'll look for the title later.
FYI. Mbiti worked his entire career in Switzerland. Two: philosophy is limping in Kenyan universities. It is not taught in high school.
We have the same problem Traore is talking about, but Kenyans won't be caught dead talking about philosophy or ideas. Like the good Anglo slaves we are, we call those subjects "irrelevant to the market."
🛑🇧🇫- Captain Ibrahim Traore on why the government wants to control the flow of international students.
He said they are currently counting the number of Burkinabè students who are studying overseas. Out of 1000 students in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, over 800 of them left the country without the government knowing.
Our embassy over there has no record of them. And guess what those 800 people are studying? Charia law and Islamic laws and none of them is learning a trade.
So, he asked: where are they intending to apply those laws? In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫? Not here. Captain said he is going to bring them back home, and if they refuse, then they are no longer Burkinabè.
Will your country ever address this? Radical islam is a cancer that needs to be addressed. If we pretend as if it’s not a threat to Africa, we are just fooling ourselves. Terrorism started with them. Remember, the imperialists are always using religion and ethnicism to divide Africans.

Ibrahim Traoré is now an "everlasting slave" for pointing out that Burkinabés studying CIA-backed Wahabbi nonsense in Saudi Arabia are a threat to Burkina Faso. The person who wrote this also claims to support Gaza and oppose the Americans killing Gazans.
But as usual when it comes to dealing with Black people, it is racism uber alles. Not even an international anti-imperial coalition can stop their inner white, yellow, or brown Hitler from jumping out AS SOON AS a black man says something that challenges their fragile ego.
The racism train is never late. Doesn't matter whether it's a European lecturing you about human rights while his country is physically occupying your own, or a Lebanese fleeing from Israeli bombs who still remembers to lock their African maid up in the house after seizing her passport.
Race and nationality burn class.
Every. Single. Time.

Africa is not being underestimated by anyone. That is a dangerous misconception that I once had.
What is actually happening is that Africa is being deliberately underreported and suppressed from mainstream global news cycles because some powerful people need to keep it a secret that their dominance over the global economy as we know it is entirely built on extracting 100 for the price of 0.5 from Africa.
If that coup in Niger had never happened for example, we would never have known that France's famously cheap and plentiful nuclear energy which makes up 70% of its energy mix, and which it sells to the rest of Europe, was cheap and plentiful because Orano spent decades bending Niger over a barrel, paying the country 50 euro cents/kg for Yellowcake uranium when the market price was between €150 and €200/kg.
We didn't know this - but France and its EU collaborators absolutely did, which is why they're sponsoring EU resolutions condemning the AES every 5 minutes. They know exactly what they've lost!
The only people underestimating Africa are Africans - because we have no fucking clue what we are sitting on and we still get most of our information from predatory western sources. Don't get it twisted - everybody outside Africa who matters fully understands what Africa is, which is why Ethiopian Airlines keeps recording a new record profit every year, and it is building the world's largest airport in Bishoftu. Most of that traffic is not made up of Africans.
People from around the world don't stampede in such numbers into a continent that they "underestimate." We're the dummies chasing visas to go work for gold elsewhere while we inherited the entire fucking gold mine.

Never mind, it's all just "conspiracy theory."
Everything you don't know and you're too lazy to find out about is "conspiracy theory."
That's the trustworthy ego shield of the 21st century educated-illiterate African.
Paramilitary Infected Black South Africans With AIDS
According to Alexander Jones, South African intelligence officers purposely infected Black South Africans with AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s.
Jones is a former member of South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR), an apparent euphemism for a g*nocidal paramilitary. He admitted it in a 2019 documentary, ‘Cold Case Hammarskjöld’ by Danish filmmaker @MBrgger.

You've been hearing about the so-called "Olodo Uprising".
Here's a wider angle on this phenomenon to help you contextualise what you are actually witnessing, why it is happening and who is ultimately behind it (hint: it's not Peller - he's just a symptom!)
Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.
It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.

There is a direct link between the US government and the increasing disappearance of meat from Nigerian diets.
As usual, I have never been wrong. Just early.
IMF and World Bank-Backed Reforms Have Spiked Nigeria's Meat Prices
The latest spike in Nigerian meat and egg prices can be traced to the United States using financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to sabotage the Giant of Africa. With Nigerian children now facing growth stunts and developmental delays, how can Nigeria’s economy ever power through to lead Africa’s growth in the 21st century?
