Before the imperialists interrupted traditional systems of govt, Kings reigned supreme & were next only to God.

Interruptions were not only done by imperialists, kingdoms invaded & dominated other kingdoms leading to wars, displacements, slavery
#TheDiscuss
#WednesdayThoughts
For Nigeria, the British Indirect Rule preserved traditional institutions but watered down their powers extensively, making them 'figure heads'.

The current reality is that an Oba, Kabiyesi, Obong, Sultan, Olu or Emir is entitled to ONE VOTE
#TheDiscuss
#WednesdayMotivation
What then is responsible for the reactions to the removal of Emir Sanusi II?
His personality?
Our emotional attachments to traditional institutions?
Our true desire for right over wrong?
The perception of corruption on the Chief Antagonist, 'Dollar-Man'?

Welcome to #TheDiscuss

The outcry against plans by @NigeriaGov @MBuhari to borrow in order to finance infrastructure underlines the need for citizens' engagement on national issues

If the request is granted by the lenders, we could keep servicing our Chinese loans till 2040
Interestingly, over a quarter of Nigeria’s N10.59 trillion 2020 budget (N2.7 trillion), goes into debt servicing, exceeding N2.4 trillion appropriated for capital expenditure

Meanwhile, Nigeria's total debt is $108bn, even though 15% of the debts are owed by state govts
nairametrics.com/2020/03/07/lcc…
What do the these numbers mean?
What impact do loans like this have on the wellbeing of citizens?
Are there alternatives to these unending debts?

THREAD: Former Ethiopian intelligence cyber chief Biniam Tewolde was among 63 prisoners ordered released today by the @FAGEthiopia. Arrested in July 2018, he faced corruption charges. He wasn't charged for his role in the stalking & arrests of dissidents. A little on that...
As deputy director of INSA, Biniam Tewolde was crucial in setting up the big brother state in Ethiopia. Constant surveillance of the phones and computers of journalists, activists, politicians with the goal of clamping down on opposition to the government.
hrw.org/report/2014/03…
The arrests of countless dissidents related to activity on Facebook or text messages are accredited to Biniam Tewolde's formation of a cyber police state in Ethiopia. It's also what contributed to Ethiopia ranking among the world's top jailers of journos. voanews.com/africa/cpj-eri…

This could be huge! Victims have been waiting for justice for widespread atrocities committed in #Darfur for 15+ years. Keen to have more details on plans for #Bashir to at last face the #ICC charges against him. Some further info on case at @hrw: hrw.org/news/2019/05/0…
@hrw I first began working on the campaign to see perpetrators of widespread crimes in #Darfur held to account in 2004 as @HRW continued to document the extreme brutality against civilians: hrw.org/news/2004/09/2…
@hrw It was time when the prospect of the #UNSC coming together to ensure justice for the gravest crimes at the #ICC was more on the table than in recent years. (see: hrw.org/news/2014/05/2…). But given the #US anti-ICC position, it was far from a foregone conclusion.

REVEALED: Senate’s running cost could have provided one million boreholes! | TheCable thecable.ng/77-radiotherap…
@NGRSenate @bukolasaraki @benmurraybruce @dino_melaye @SenMarafaKabir @SERAPNigeria In a country where 46 percent of its citizens are currently living below the poverty line of $1.90 or N693.5 per day, the running cost could have been used to solve some basic needs. In this piece, TheCable looks at what that amount could have been used for in different sectors.
@NGRSenate @bukolasaraki @benmurraybruce @dino_melaye @SenMarafaKabir @SERAPNigeria HEALTH
It is no news that Nigeria lacks an effective healthcare system. #Cancer has been identified as one of the leading causes of death globally. For a country of 198 million people, there are just four radiotherapy centres. thecable.ng/77-radiotherap…

In the same spirit of public enlightenment let me make it clear to the public what you wish upon their children & unborn generations. With your education & exposure you’ve equated the 16years of PDP to the actual age of the country, while conveniently ignoring military rule.👇🏽
Do you know that GMB is the most nepotistic ‘Nigerian’ President ever in the history of our Nationhood? Do you realize he makes no pretense about it? Have you taken headcounts of his relatives benefitting from our collective patrimony via heists and grafts? 🤔
Do you realize that Economy, Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Corruption were his 3 cardinal campaign points in 2015 and He has failed in all of them?
