Mayowa * 🥀 I do not think it is either. It comes with the saviour complex. They begin to see their contributions as fixed solutions. Anyone who has a differing opinion but has done less is not worthy of their offering and is a burden as they are God’s gift to mankind.

People genuinely underestimate the impact of poverty in a society; especially one where it has been weaponized in a country like this. We all know there are resources in Nigeria, but when the poverty is artificial, the fallout is significantly worse. Nigeria makes me sad

I don’t understand why you want me to waste my precious time on a troll.

What does the government of Nigeria even do for the people of this country? Since Nigerians have devised all sorts of chaotic solutions to problems that governments should normally solve.

The optics matter when Bola Tinubu graces the burial of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari (a man whose actions and inaction contributed to the IDP crisis in the North) as he should. But somehow, optics don’t matter when Peter Obi visits an IDP camp to show solidarity and donate

Electricity ❌ Water ❌ Housing ❌ Education ❌ Transport/Roads ❌ Subsidies ❌ Security ❌ Healthcare ❌ The private alternatives are just a level better. Individualist capitalism on steroids 💉💉 #Resilience

They are not giving us an opportunity to save ourselves. Instead, they’re extracting the few among us who manage to become useful, skilled professionals, innovators, creatives, academics, and absorbing them into their own economies. Migration to the West is barely a humanitarian

Africa has a population of 1.53 billion people, and over 60% of that number are young people. We are the youngest continent in the world by far. When you have this many people and fail to harness their capacity for large-scale production, you’re not just wasting potential, you’re

There was nothing stately about that raggedy and random Toyota Hiace ambulance that transported him to the burial site. That vehicle had no business being anywhere near the burial ceremony of a statesman worth his weight in gold, or anyone with real influence. Buhari’s

Alon Mizrahi It is worth noting that 50 years ago, ALL of these countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Lybia were fairly developed, secular countries - mostly, more so than India! What turned them into what they are today was not “Islamism” - it was deliberate US policy!

We couldn’t have fumbled something that was never properly structured to benefit us in the first place. AGOA wasn’t a bilateral trade agreement, it was a unilateral ‘gift’. From the onset, it was extractive. No surprise there; we don’t have much to export to the U.S. except oil

I’m not absolving Nigeria, or other African countries, for failing to build the internal capacity to take full advantage of AGOA. That responsibility is ours. My point is, the deal itself wasn’t structured for real growth. AGOA was designed for countries that already had finished

I didn’t romanticize AGOA. I stated matter of factly that we did not maximize it. I’m a big proponent of China personally (many people on Twitter hate me for my views which wre similar to yours) but even with the China relationship, we leave a lot on the table and make ourselves

But are you comfortable with the conditionalities and the unilateral withdrawal prerogative, especially considering how it played out in Ethiopia, where the deal was withdrawn over alleged human rights abuses? I’m not comfortable with it. It can easily be weaponized to force us

Survival must be tethered to sovereignty. You can’t prioritize survival to the point where you surrender your sovereignty.

Mayowa Here is the truth about AGOA when u have time please read fpif.org/trading_with_t…

This isn’t just someone giving you access to a richer market, don’t oversimplify it. And don’t tell me I’m writing nonsense, I have my opinion on this and you have yours. It’s more like giving a poor farmer, who only has seeds and no equipment, and also has way too many other

Africa has found itself courted by two powerful suitors, the United States and China, each hoping to spread their influence while offering a distinct path to “development.” They have both come up with two distinct drivers of this development. On one hand is AGOA, on the other,

Ethiopia’s industrial parks were built by the Chinese under the Belt and Road Initiative. Naturally, this should have been a launchpad for AGOA-linked trade gains. Infrastructure meets market access, simple synergy. But in 2022, the U.S. suspended Ethiopia from AGOA over

I imagine it being through bush burning, they must have been so high on that very day. 😂
