Fully expect to wake up one day and hear that marriage is being canceled for being heteronormative, unduly influenced by the Male Gaze, and possibly transphobic too.

Heck, someone will use stats to argue that marriage is racist. It will happen.
This is enlightenment and progress in the age where humanity has solved pretty much all its material problems.

Fucking dystopia.
Here come the stats lol.

"Marriage is racist" is about to become a real thing in 3..2..
We live in hell.

Learn new things, you will not learn.
Become better at what you do no way.
Give opportunities to younger people, whossai.
OK at least stay out of their way and leave them to their own devices, you will still try to be a roadblock.

The African elder is a TERRIBLE human being.
Elsewhere, when a young talent with huge potential arises, the establishment sees its future there and invests in this person.

Here, I was left to find my own way. Which I did without anybody's help and I didn't complain.

Now see them gathering like witches on my head!
One of Nigeria's most fearless investigative journalists in decades emerged and the entire Nigerian media coughed and looked the other way, only pausing to steal and plagiarise my work until I threw a massive tantrum about it, then they stopped.

What value do elders add???

See, let me just tell all of you Methuselah Nigerian journalists who think you are some kind of standard for what journalism is or isn't:

I'm only John The Baptist.

The Jesuses are coming after me. Not 1, not 2, not 5. You are going to fucking HATE it.

I promise you.
We have not started with you yet. You think people like David Hundeyin and Samuel Ogundipe are your problem? Wait first.

When you see 35 David Hundeyins coming, nobody will have to tell you what to so.

Useless, abominable elders who add no value to anything or anyone.
You're already irrelevant - you just don't know it yet. True Crime Daniel on YouTube - a vlogger with no professional journalism experience - is already delivering higher quality and more impactful journalism than any of you with your grey hair and brown envelopes. Image

Some cultures understand that all knowledge belongs to all humanity and that you can only profit from controlling a share of the knowledge.

Some other cultures try to control 100% of their cultural knowledge and end up with 100% of a worthless nothing.

Guess who is what
Some cultures created patents so that they could profit from a share of invention, which is infinite and belongs to all humanity.

Other cultures created a writing script, then hoarded it for only their elites so that knowledge could not be compounded or traded among commoners.
Some cultures discovered how to harness the power of combustion and used it to create industrial economies that raised the entire level of the human species.

Other cultures hid their scientific discoveries behind mysticism and turned them into religions for exploiting each other

I have a dream that one day Africans will understand that Border Closure is a false god that only bestows poverty and alienation.

Whether it is Border Closure economics or Border Closure cultural gatekeeping or Border Closure IP practises.

Globalisation doesn't respect you.
Border Closure vs openness to trade trade exchange is the reason why some people were circumnavigating in 1700 while our ancestors were completely unaware of civilisations that were 600KM away from them on the same continent.

Border Closure only births insularity and poverty.
Border Closure is the reason that the world's poorest continent also has by far the world's lowest rate of internal trade.

Instead of leveraging trade and exchange to compound results, every man is busy building fences around his 70 x 55 okra farm.

Border Closure makes you poor

I'm really tired of seeing this take.

A once-in-generation 2-week protest movement whose premise fortuitously motivated universal support, is completely different to building a political structure that ensures you have party agents in Abonema and Tundun-Wada on election day.
They have absolutely nothing in common. It's like comparing a 20-ft rope with a 20-ft snake. The form is vaguely similar, but the operational realities are worlds apart.

In terms of numbers, @SavvyRinu's total social media audience is only like 40% of Alimosho LGA alone.
N500m is a drop in the bucket. Except you're using it to campaign for HoA seats, and even then there are no guarantees.

I know a diasporan from Rivers State who came back to contest for a senatorial seat in 2019, and spent her own N100m.

She didn't get past the primaries.

It's clear what she should do, so I want to do a thread to speak to the guy's mindset and why it is a trap, using myself 11 years ago as a case in point.

This is a story I've never publicly told before, but I'm creating a space to help men process their feelings.

Thread👇🏿
11 years ago in 2011, I got a woman pregnant.

We met at Hull Uni during my final year, and it was what you might call a whirlwind romance. She was from a town in Zimbabwe called Kwekwe, and she was 2 years older than me.

We were the definition of "opposites attract."
We fell in love so hard that in just 6 months from when we met in March, we took it for granted that we would get married, have 2 kids and a dog, a nice little house in Market Weighton, her dream Mini Cooper etc.

Bear in mind I was a 21 Y.O on a visa, without a job or a plan.
