richmond500:
Wtf, see as u deh confuse urself.
Hausa is a Nigerian language.
It's simple English, yet u fumble.

I'll even prefer Hausa/Fulani on our currency to Yoruba or Igbo.

Recently an average white woman spoke Yoruba fluently on social media, see as Yorubas use the thing rub our face like it's a big achievement.


In terms of morals on public space, the Hausas triumph, u will hardly see them fighting over petty things like this.

4 years ago on October 20, 2020, my ongoing journey began with the Lekki Massacre, which happened just a couple of kilometres from my apartment. Within the next 17 days, I was forced to smuggle myself out of Nigeria and I haven't been able to go back since.

In the intervening period, I have spent time in a Ghanaian safe house, I have been declared wanted for "national security violations" in Nigeria, and I have survived a kidnap/assassination attempt in Accra organised by the (now former) Director of the National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Rufai Abubakar.

In all this time and across all these experiences, one piece of wisdom I heard from my good friend @YarKafanchan has never left my head and remains my true north. She said it in passing one evening in 2021 when we were hanging out at Breakfast 2 Breakfast, Osu, and she probably didn't realise that what she said was so profound that it would remain stuck in my head forever.

She said: "Nigeria's biggest trick is convincing you that nothing is happening. Meanwhile everything is happening."

She said that in the context of us figuring out whether the Buhari regime had forgotten about teaching us #EndSARS people a lesson, and if we should risk returning home, but I took that pearl of wisdom, expanded its application, and made it my True North for analysing Nigeria.

Nigeria was not always this way, but after decades of deliberate actions by internal and external actors, it has become the country where "nothing happens." When it comes to anything consequential, meaningful and positive like favourable trade policy, economy-boosting infrastructure projects, or diplomatic and geopolitical positioning to enhance regional integration, nothing happens in Nigeria. It is frozen in time and covered with dust and cobwebs. To all intents and purposes, nothing is happening.

But behind the scenes, when it comes to listening to the counsel of American econmic hitmen and piling on ruinous dollar-denominated debt that the country categorically does not need, or when it comes to spending billions of dollars to develop military, intelligence and law enforcement capacity, only to use it to monitor the young girlfriends and political opponents of middle aged big men with potbellies, everything is happening. Nigeria may not be able to generate more than 5,000 MW of electricity for 200 million people, but when it comes to using NIA field agents - actual intelligence operatives trained expensively in Israel and North Korea - to go after outspoken Nigerian citizens in foreign countries, everything is happening.

This is why I cannot bother myself with who Peter Obi chooses or does not choose to wish Happy Birthday to. It's not that I don't think Yakubu Gowon is a genocidal a-hole. It's that his involvement in what happened between 1966 and 1970 is not even the worst or most disastrous thing he has done. The worst things Yakubu Gowon did came AFTER the war, and they are why we are where we are today.

Nigeria as it existed then, was one of the most powerful countries in the entire Global South, and a very consequential country on the world stage. Nigeria was a country that funded liberation movements in other countries, used its economy and military to massive geopolitical effect in Africa, gave out foreign aid, and came within one Ajaokuta Steel Complex of becoming Africa's first proper industrial economy.

Most of this period, when Nigeria was one of the world's real movers and shakers in the decade between 1970 and 1979, fell under Yakubu Gowon's tenure. The Nigeria he had was a country where everything was happening, and everybody could see that everything was happening. Nigeria was one of the players moving pieces on the global chessboard, and not merely one of the pieces being moved.

Yakubu Gowon had the unique opportunity with a postwar Nigeria that found itself economically, militarily and geopolitically in the proverbial Garden of Eden, to lead the country into World Power status. There was a perfect storm of geopolitical circumstances, and Nigeria was right in the sweet pot. The country had real money to spend on infrastructure and industrialisation, and very little foreign debt. It had de-facto geopolitical leadership of Sub Saharan Africa, and infinite possibilities for continental alignment and integration. He didn't even have to worry about winning an election every 4 years. All he had to do was deliver leadership

If he had delivered Sub Saharan Africa's first industrialised nuclear power, Africa and the African diaspora would have finally had an untouchable base to build from, and the world would never again have been able to treat Black people with the levity it continues to do in 2024. I am 34 this year. Gowon became Head of State at 33. He found himself leading this budding postwar superpower with everything falling into place for it at 37. And what did he do with this once-in-a-century opportunity?

He did Cement Armada. Udoji Awards. Offshore bank accounts. Contract and invoice inflation. Free Nigeria Airways flights for anyone who could get a "note" from a military officer, which eventually ran the airline into the ground. Cars, houses and holidays in London for girlfriends of big men in government. The beginning of the Rolls Royce culture in Ikoyi. During his 5 postwar years in power, Nigeria for the first time began piling on dollar-denominated foreign debt that it did not need, which was the fuel for the explosion that came 15 years later called IMF Structural Adjustment.

He met a country that was powerful and competent enough to hatch its own foreign influence and subversion operations around the world. Nigeria used to be so consequential that every single liberation war it directly or indirectly intervened in swung the way it wanted. From Lagos, the outcomes of liberation wars in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Namibia were decided. By the time he and his mad dog successor Murtala Mohammed left the scene, Nigeria had gone from this to a victim - a country that couldn't pay its debts, started suffering electricity blackouts, and ended up having American intelligence penetrate its core, to the point where the outcome of elections or post-coup succession was decided by people like Susan Rice.

It was once a country where everything happened in plain sight, but by the time Yakubu Gowon and the Class of 1966 were done, it became the Nigeria we know today - a benighted country where you have to be highly connected or extremely intelligent to even suspect when anything is happening, because to all intents and purposes, nothing ever happens.

The challenge for my generation and the coming ones is to hijack and regain control of our collective destiny, which Yakubu Gowon and his contemporaries lost for us. They inherited the Black world's most powerful country and potent nation state. They bequeathed a parody of a country that has been fully captured by economic hitmen, where the CIA has been able to openly install a drug peddler with urinary incontinence to become puppet president of the largest Black country in the world - a level of blatant disrespect that illustrates just how much has been taken from us.

Instead of getting mad at Peter Obi for wishing such people Happy Birthday (which doesn't actually change the figurative price of garri in the market), our generational challenge as Millenials and Zoomers is to wrest back control of our country and its governance, intelligence, law enforcement and military institutions from the foreign interests that took them from our 90 year-old "senior statesmen" who sold their children for the proverbial mirrors, gin and red cloth.

Getting angry at Yakubu Gowon is pointless and is not going to save us. Getting mad at people wishing him Happy Birthday is borderline asinine. He has already got what he wants out of life. At 90, he has amassed a lifetime's worth of oyibo's mirrors, gin and red cloth, and the Black superpower he once led is now dragging status with Eswantini and Sao Tome & Principe. We should be happy for him. He is a fulfilled man who led a life that clearly fills him with fulfillment.

We have our own mission now, and it is to start undoing his damage. In our lifetime, Nigeria should once again becomes a country where everything is happening. It has to happen soon. Otherwise, 200 million people go kpai.

Let's be guided.

Israel07:


Shut ur mouth, you emotionally unstable human waste. Must you curse the innocent Man?. Did anybody curse you or your people in 2015 Is it not Yoruba and Fulani that destroyed Nigeria since then? Didn't you Yoruba's say an Igbo man will never rule Nigeria and we must be taught a lesson? Wetin Igbo man do una? Didn't ur people do ur fetish nonsense in broad daylight in Lagos just to stop Igbo's from voting? Cooked nonsense propaganda and disenfranchised people with thugs and louts for looking like Igbo? Was it not Yoruba people spearheaded by the cultist white haired bogus grammar speaking professor that used media to tarnish Jonathan government? Shit! Was it not Awolowo that helped the clueless Gowon to win the civil war against Biafra by starving innocent civilians to death and sickness? Is it by force to stay in a marriage? Same Awolowo that never believed in one Nigeria, cos he was promised to be given the chance to become president, he starved my people to death and unbearable deforming hunger, reap people of their money and gave them mere 20 pounds. Can ur people ever forgive or forget such wickedness? They couldn't forgive GRV so imagine. Omo no make me curse you ooh. Nnamdi Azikiwe is to blame, I no blame una at all.

You must be mad and out of your mind!!!
He no go better for you if you no curse me abi you dey craze ?
Who and who couldn’t forgive GRV you this slowpoke and because a certain group of people did something, you people should now generalize on the whole southwest ?
Is that not madness ?
Who the Bleep is Awolowo and how on earth did what he did take consign me and my family, why would you now blame my family for his misdeed? Do you know how many times my dad has rained curses on this Awolowo you are talking about because he was actually one of the main reason Nigeria is as it is right now?
What do you have to say about that ?
For your information, I married an eastern fine boy and I will prove it to you if you want proof you idiot
I am not emotional, I am so angry because that hate is what you people send from generations to generations which is not good…..

Naija9090:
They have started their medicine after death. They should arrest him to explain what really happened to Wigwe, Ike Ndi Isoko. His explanation for not boarding the same chopper doesn't make sense. Why would he travel by road as someone based in Nigeria with Wigwe? Imagine president Tinubbu going to America and his assistant, Ngelele, decides not to board the same chopper with him, instead chose to travel by road. Does that make sense? This is the problem with Igbo people, they over trust this people with innate tribalism.

You are cursed, you foolish little boy with no brain
How can you be thinking like an animal?

Are they just being together on the day the incident happened or is it the first time they would be traveling together?
They said he cited a reason of bad weather which is very much acceptable and you bastard of a thousand father is here saying another thing..

The hate for the other tribes will kill you and your useless elders feeding you nothing but hatred towards other people

Odin13:
The Southwest Yoruba used media and social media to harass governments in power ..
they dished it without qualms .. insulting sitting Presidents in the name of opposition.. even threaten to form a parallel government in Nigeria ..

They sponsor armed bandits .. yes .. they records are there and killed of any strong contender .. to them..
No matter their office ..

Today they very southwest Yoruba people are in power and in government..

They seeds they sowed is now too bitter for them, forgetting that nothing last forever ..

They wan 3 years for abusing a clueless helpless Yoruba god.. a very daft being..

Is well.. o qualms Nigerians .. it won’t be long they will return to opposition after their bragging right has ended and leaving Nigerians in Sifia pains ..

They already know how to curse and abuse government ..

They don’t really like what they give and will resist it .. just as they’re doing 😂..

But e go clear .. let them successfully use some humans as example .. power go change hand ..

Na Black Maria .. another Government go take they pack them like sardines .. on top their law .. e no go
Tey again..

What we sow .. is what we repeat..

E go worst Walahi

It shall never be well with you and cursed is that day you were brought to this world.. the womb that conceived and carried your pregnancy is cursed and the breast that feed you is cursed… as from now on, you are cursed from generation to generation.
You this slowpoke
Are you daft or are you just trying to set people up against themselves?
Is this the story the bastard that fathered you told you or is it you LovePeddler mother that sings this to you?
Or are you just the ignorant useless kid ?
The wrath of God is upon you for this useless comment.
Did you know how much hatred this people live with themselves because of this government??
Do you know how many people never prayed or wish this useless man came to power ?
Why are you this senseless all in the name or commenting you all said rubbish and for your information, if this bill is passed and made into law, I can guarantee you that over 4 of my big brothers are going for the 3 years in including my popsy because we never for once hated Jonathan or any other eastern candidate and we already knew Buhari coming into power is a beginning of a disaster and how dare you generalize the whole southwestern people into your bullshit ?
You are cursed!!!!!!

The only thing is the Igbos I know are so blessed with the capacity of turning those stones into mountainous resources.

Keep 50 Yorubas in a place and 5 Igbos in the same place in two years time the Yorubas will be working for the 5 Igbos. God has blessed them with it and nobody can take it away.

Over hyped Lagos!
The top five industrial markets in Lagos is dominated by the Igbos so the Yorubas should go get a life. You guys cannot take Igbos out of Lagos.


Ole!
