Traveling from Lagos international airport is so so stressful. My God!

Everything is designed to stress you. But what takes the cake are the humans. The sheer number of steps you have to interact with people is mind mumbing. And almost all these people are begging!
I’m tired and angry and stressed, so let’s count the people in Lagos airport you have to see before you get to your seat on the plane…. And rate their pointlessness 0-5.

“0” means very pointless, obviously. 5 means essential personnel, should be there.
Person #1 is a security personnel by the front door that you must show your ticket to prove you’re traveling. Screens people who want to carry their whole family to do excursion and farewell party INSIDE the terminal. Please stay outside. Essential for Naija. Score: 5

🧵THREAD: Unveiling the Connections and Actions of @DrLeanaWen.

What a coincidence that it was Wen, 🇺🇸's and 🇨🇳's top Covid fearmonger, who was interviewed right after the Boston Bombing. She speaks as if she's struggling to recall her lines. At least her accent has improved. Image
#2 In 2018, Wen became the president of "Planned Parenthood" (wapo.st/3idCKxj), which is heavily supported by the Eugenicists Bill Gates Jr. and Sr. (gates.ly/3CT5NhC). Another coincidence. Image
#3 It is, therefore, no coincidence that this Chinese-born woman was the biggest propagandist during Covid, doing everything in her power to suppress society in a Chinese-style manner, gaslighting them, and calling for inhumane measures, as the following tweets will demonstrate. Image

"De Europese Centrale Bank (ECB) stelt in een recent rapport dat 60 procent van de inflatie te wijten is aan die graaiflatie, die winsthonger van de bedrijven."

@vrtnws "The latest increases in the GDP deflator have been driven by both unit labour costs and unit profits."

Merk op het gaat hier om de GDP deflator, niet de inflatie. De ingevoerde energie- en voedingsprijzen zitten hier niet in.

@vrtnws Voor het 4e kwartaal zegt de ECB in de blog:

@TNHouseReps Tennessee is a "right to work" state. At the @TNHouseReps, that phrase is especially laughable. When you get hired there, you don't actually work for the office that hired you. For ex., I worked for the @TNDemocrats but was told that I worked "at the pleasure of the Speaker."
What does that mean? It means if the Speaker doesn't like something you said, did, posted, WHATEVER, you could be fired for no cause at all with zero recourse. My own Chair told me there was little he could do to protect me if the Speaker wanted to fire me.

Alors ne prenez pas ça pour une attaque contre la police, mais son rôle n’a rien à voir avec la garantie de l’Etat de droit. C’est un non-sens.
L’Etat de droit est un Etat qui est soumis aux règles qu’il édicte lui-même, et qui peut se voir imposer le respect de ces règles. Soit qu’un acte illégal soit annulé, soit qu’il soit contraint à l’action. Le garant de l’Etat de droit, c’est le juge.
Il faut que le juge ait des garanties d’indépendance telles qu’il ne puisse subir de pression ou de rétorsion par l’Etat selon ses décisions et qu’il ait les moyens légaux de juger l’Etat et ses émanations à la demande d’un citoyen.

Op-eds like this are useful for many reasons. They reveal the defects of U.S. and Western policy toward and opinion-making about Africa, including the "soft bigotry of low expectations" that defines it.

I'll talk about some of those issues in a #thread 🧵
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
To begin with, consider this op-ed to be more or less the logic behind the Biden administration's embrace of the result of Nigeria's presidential election. The Washington Post is the unofficial bible of elite Beltway opinion. Its editorial board is authoritative in that regard.
The op-ed neatly lays out the low bar for what Western opinion considers to be "free and fair elections" in African countries. Essentially any outcome short of civil war is acceptable. My goodness, it's right there in the first paragraph! WaPo did not bury the lede one bit.
