Reminds me of a celebrity who sent “hi.” I didn’t reply, expecting more, only for him to text again asking why I hadn’t responded, saying he wanted to discuss my football career (in a messiah tone), calling me a “funny boy,” and wishing me good luck.
I replied, “Thank you very much for your kind wishes,” and that was it.
This is one of many cases where people talk to me as if they’re doing me a favor and I won’t amount to anything otherwise.
I am not a worthless person and know I am valuable—that’s why you reached out. Trying to spin it like I am a nobody that you want to make somebody will not fly.
As the Van Gogh saying goes: “If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
I am Hakeem Onitọlọ; there was never a time I was a nobody.

Of course, these are the kinds of videos that break you down completely as a Black man. You understand that it is not a true representation of the state of the continent, as Black Africans built magnificent structures long before the era of chattel slavery or colonialism. You also know that racist foreigners will add this to their endless collection of propaganda videos to push the false narrative that the Black soul is somehow incapable of using critical thinking to solve its immediate problems.
It is evident that the primary reason for the terrible state of Africa is neo-colonial extraction, where foreign conglomerates continue to plunder and extract African resources cheaply. The small wealth that remains is then feasted upon by the bourgeois class and local oligarchs, who continue to enrich themselves and expand their luxury real estate portfolios.
You know that all of this is true, yet a genuine African cannot help but feel mentally broken and defeated by the sight of these videos. This is not even just a South African issue. There are many parts of Nigeria today that are almost completely detached from modern life, where our brothers and sisters continue to live in 13th-century primitivism, literally risking their lives just to access their farmlands.
All of this is painful, but this pain does not mean we should resign from our struggles and accept our position in the universe as a race condemned to the bottom of mankind, forced to serve as a perpetual feasting ground for global capital.
As painful as it is, this should serve as enough motivation and proof that we need a complete revolution. The psychology of the Black man must be completely decolonized and realigned, and the entire political system enabling this iberiberism must be dismantled and burned to the ground.
🔴This is the picture of deplorable service delivery and poverty in the Eastern Cape. I'd not need to burn a flag to show such ANC failures.

Let me remind you all fellow Africans, the imperialist defined Burkina Faso as the poorest country in Africa, and when the French imperialist scum left Upper Volta, as they use to call it, they said nothing good can ever come out of that place, that its people are not good for anything besides slave labour.
When the left Burkina Faso, there was not a single functioning road or high way that the people could work with.
Today Ibrahim Traore is building a 330km highway.
All it took was a leadership that genuinely cares about the wellbeing of our people.

The Goat Ranch Club, by the numbers:
34 NullBot users minted 189 NFTs across GTD and FCFS.
16 out of 16 users who scheduled GTD got in.
83% of scheduled FCFS wallets hit.
Most of the misses were wallets that had already used their allowance.
34 of those NFTs came from copy mint.
Scheduled mints fire the moment a phase opens.
You don't have to be awake for it.

Nigerian restaurateur, a local dish should taste like local dish. Don't alter local dishes to appeal to foreign palate. A foreigner who wants to eat local dish should eat authentic local dish. A Nigerian should not be in Nigeria and local dish is unpalatable. When we go abroad, we eat foreign food for the experience. Foreign restaurants do not alter the taste to suit your African taste bud. The same should apply in Nigeria.
A spicy food should be spicy. A peppery food should be peppery. A well cooked food should be well cooked. I shouldn't be looking for the taste or spice or pepper in a local food. If you want to open an European restaurant, than call it that and leave 9ja food out of the menu.

This morning, @Spearhead_Af's TikTok account was finally suspended after months of receiving nonsensical strikes for things like mentioning "Niger" (which TikTok insists is a racial slur, instead of the name of a country in West Africa).

2,036 FUDS NFTs minted in 9 seconds.
NullBot copy mint landed 866 of them for 33 users.
That's 42.5% of everything minted in that window.
None of those users were refreshing a mint page.
They had mirrors set on wallets that mint early.
The moment those wallets minted, NullBot fired the same mint across their own wallets.
That's what copy mint is built for: the mints that are over before you can click.
20% off 3 months of NullBot until 14 Nov, 23:59 UTC.

Hope you all know that the VIOLENCE of Christianity is the reason we can all speak English.

For @Spearhead_Af, @sannario_ is back with another long form examination of a question you have probably never asked before.
The Colonial Clock: Who Designed Africa's Retirement Models?
We talk about colonialism’s obvious legacies in Africa: IMF structural adjustment programmes, debt traps, "aid" tied to economically-crippling policy changes, externally-fueled conflicts and t*rror...
But what about those colonial legacies which we have normalized so much, we barely even notice or question them?
What if we told you that even the age at which you are allowed to retire as an African is just another Western colonial weapon fashioned against you?

Captain Ibrahim Traoré stood before Burkina Faso's engineering students and said what no African president had said out loud.
"We will no longer support long essays. If you are an engineering student, for your thesis, you must manufacture, copy, or build something."
Then he gave them the line that deserves to be carved into the gate of every university on this continent:
"Copy everything you can copy except theory."
Read that again.
A continent that imports its machines, its medicines, and its refineries is finally telling its brightest minds: we do not need another paper about engineering. We need you to do engineering.
Traoré is not attacking education. He is attacking the distance between the classroom and the nation. For sixty years, African universities have produced graduates who can describe a bridge but cannot build one. Who can write two hundred pages on industrialisation while the country imports every bolt and bearing it needs. Who leave campus with a certificate in one hand and nothing in the other.
He is not asking students to invent from nothing. He is telling them to reverse-engineer. To take what already exists, understand it, reproduce it, and improve it. That is how Japan built its car industry. That is how China built its factories. They copied. They built. They improved. Then they surpassed the people they learned from.
His government is putting infrastructure behind the words—technical high schools tied to local economies, a technological academy, and a state that now owns the machines and asphalt plants to build its own highways.
The old model was designed to produce clerks for a colonial administration. It survived independence because it was convenient for the elite. Their children went to Paris. Yours got a diploma and a bus fare home.
"Copy everything you can copy except theory."
Copy the machine. Copy the process. Copy the blueprint. Then build it here, with your hands, for your people.
That is not a downgrade of education. It is the upgrade Africa has needed for sixty years.

One category of professional on this continent that I am truly terrified of is the Kenyan Development Expert.
He/She is always the FIRST African to adopt and rationalise anything that comes from the wazungu in suits, no matter how extractive or dystopian.
If the European slave trade resumed today, you can bet your house that there will be a Kenyan Development Expert overseeing the barracoons, using terms like "Supervised Human Talent Relocation" and "Involuntary Personnel Transshipment".
Like his cousins the Nigerian tech founder and the Senegalese NGO director, he has no concept whatsoever of general or localised African interest, and his mental environment is one of the most selfishly, abominably capitalist places on earth.
These guys fill my soul with actual terror. I'm genuinely scared of them.
"Non Revenue Water" fucking hell...

Every great universe has a story, and @dungeonsaga is building one that goes deeper than collectibles.
A Bitcoin-native fantasy world where lore, gaming, NFTs, and community come together to create something alive.
And at the heart of its mysterious history lies $DSG, an ancient currency whose origins remain unknown.
Maybe the Dungeon holds more secrets than we think.
One thing is certain: the story is only beginning.
$DSG is coming 🔥
Long before the Dungeon was opened, there was $DSG.
An ancient currency with no known origin.
No kingdom ever claimed to have minted it.
No record tells who created it.
Yet for centuries, DSG coins have appeared across Kronos — traded by merchants, carried by adventurers, and hoarded by those who knew their worth.
But the strangest part?
Most of them were found in the Dungeon.
No one knows why.
Perhaps we’re about to find out.
🪙 $DSG

Oh shet!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I clocked something..
Rent is always paid for, nobody notices that the DSTV subscription hasn’t gone off since, nobody notices that the kids haven’t stayed home since they started schooling, nobody notices how the cooking gas is always filled when it finishes, notice how there’s always light in the house even with the crazy units, there’s always fuel in gen when there’s no light.
Nobody appreciates the Man SPECIALLY for all these.. it’s seen as “that’s his job”.. he gets no special props for it.
.
.
.
.
But the moment you ask why there’s no food in the kitchen and/or why the kitchen is dirty..
It becomes “You think it’s easy to cook and clean, appreciate and support her”
Women want appreciation, support and incentives for their roles, while a Man wanting support for his own role is “not Man enough”.
+ When the Man supports her role, “He’s doing it for his family”
When the Woman supports his role, “She’s doing it for HER MAN”(and not for the family)
These are the issues…
Men need to clock so many things and start speaking up more to regulate these narratives… we can’t continue keeping quiet.. na beg I dey beg una.

Burkina Faso is still poor.
But you keep seeing these projects celebrated and Ibrahim Traore hailed because, in a few years, he's doing what useless democracy couldn't do in many years.
And if it keeps up, many Africans will see what a waste of time democracy is.
