Elections won't help man. Even if we get Deng Xiaoping in office and he performs magic within 4 years, then what? The colonizers will just either simply wait out the 4 years, or fund another Occupy Nigeria protest to remove him. They will supply their terrorist proxies with even more sophisticated weaponry to cause chaos. They will activate their agents in our armed forces. They can turn our currency to tissue paper if the president openly defies them. If all that fails, they can simply Maduro the president. The EU will release statements. China will express concern. Russia will call for respect of international law. Our fellow African countries will not say pim And then what? Back to bloody square zero. Electoral democracy is utter bullshit. None of the countries in the West owe their formative, most prosperous years to democracy. You cannot build the institutional depth, the educational base and enough infrastructure to industrialize a nation of 250M people (400M by 2050!) within 4 years! And what about the cabals that need to be made past tense? You cannot squash the illegal mining cabal in 4 years. You cannot dismantle the oil bunkering cabal in 4 years. You cannot destroy the NGO/civil society cabal in 4 years, You cannot destroy the network of spies and traitors in every level of government from a random ministry of fisheries to the senate in 4 years! Especially not as a democratic president. My nigga even if the president wants to pass some good laws all the colonizers have to do is tell the senators and reps that the safety of their stolen loot sitting in western banks, or the safety of their children schooling in western schools depends on their cooperation with Western interests. If the senate refuse to pass a law that will help us get more electricity for this reason what are you gonna do? If Obi tries to use force they will demonize him in the media like they did for GEJ! And our people will stupidly believe them. Nigeria is at a stage in its life where we cannot afford the useless theater of democracy. We need patriots who want to serve the interests of the Nigerian people to be able to do so quickly. We cannot keep stopping and starting every 4 years. We need 5, 10 and 20 year plans for infrastructure, education, defense and health. Everybody must be pulling in the same direction. Everybody must feel like we're in this together. Whether you're a palm wine tapper in a random village in Ebonyi or a pepper farmer in Gombe. This is only possible when we have a government that is focused and people centered.
You’re a realist but let’s see what happens this next election

One of the most important skills you can develop as an adult is critical thinking. Have you asked yourself how much of yours thoughts are actually yours rather than remixes of what you have heard from others? HIV/AIDS might be a lab engineered virus to selectively kill a race 🧵
HISTORY OF HIV/AIDS Long before HIV was known to medicine, before microscopes could identify it or blood tests could detect it, the virus existed quietly in the forests of Central Africa. In the late 1800s or early 1900s, a hunter moved through dense rainforest, doing what humans in that region had done for generations; hunting primates for food. One animal, a chimpanzee, carried a virus called Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV). In the chimp, the virus caused little harm. In humans, it had never been tested by nature. As the hunter butchered the animal,a small cut on his hand that seemed unremarkable, and easily ignored, became the gateway. In that brief moment, infected blood crossed the species barrier. The virus entered a human body for the first time. Inside its new host, the virus struggled. Human immune cells were unfamiliar territory. Most viruses would have failed here and disappeared forever. But this one changed. Through random mutation and survival, it adapted by learning how to attach to CD4 T-cells, learning how to replicate, learning how to persist. The man survived. He did not know he carried a new virus. He returned to his community, lived his life, and unknowingly passed the virus to others through blood, sexual contact, or childbirth. Slowly, silently, the virus spread. Years passed. Small villages grew into towns. Trade routes expanded along the Congo River. Medical injections were given with reused needles. What began as a single spillover event became a human infection chain. Decades later, this adapted virus had a new identity: Human Immunodeficiency Virus—HIV. By the time doctors recognized it in the 1980s, the virus had already been circulating in humans for generations. It had not appeared suddenly. It had arrived quietly, evolved patiently, and spread invisibly. This is how pandemics often begin not with intention or conspiracy, but with biology, chance, and time.

Dr. Graves believes its a systematic bioweapon as he pointed to U.S. Patent 4,647,773 (Gallo & Popović) as the record reveals 15,000 gallons of AIDS was produced and he filed lawsuits seeking recognition of his theory. techtransfer.nih.gov/patent/…

Difference between occupation and colonization Japan occupied China. China was not colonized by Japan. Germany occupied France. France was not colonized by Germany. Finland was occupied but not colonized. Russia was occupied, but not colonized. Nigeria is colonized but not occupied. Occupation is military and physical. The presence of the foreign forces are necessary. It might be the first step for a colonization. Colonization is when the indigenous people start giving the name of the colonizers to their kids and start speaking the language of their aggressors, preferring the foreigners culture to their own. If you tell them to embrace their roots, they will look at you like you are stupid and give you a thousand reasons why their culture is useless. They also think their languages are inferior. Tell them to speak their languages and their response would be: Excuse me with that cultural pride nonsense. Will speaking my native language give me a job or make me a world renowned scientist? They Are Colonized. Colonization is an ideological occupation where the aggressor succeeds in erasing local culture and replacing its main components with his own culture. For colonization to succeed, that is, for the oppressor to succeed in his oppression, there are three things he must to take from his victims. (1) Their history (2) Their language, and (3) Their psychological factor. The Psychological factors are what we call VIPs. The values, The interests and The principles of a people. Take those from them...take their history, take their language, take their values, interests and principles and then super impose your history, your language, your values, interest and principles on them and you will have the citizens think like the guy in the image below. Their minds and thought process will be owned by you. It's what in simple terms they call: Mental Slavery! Most Africans think Arab colonization and European colonization of Africa are good for them and would fight to defend their colonization heritage. For the rest of us, we want African decolonization and renaissance, reviving our traditions and heritage. We cannot develop the sciences in our languages until we see the importance of decolonization. To ask what the advantage is for a child that speaks in his mother tongue shows one thing: A deeply damaged and colonized mind.

Earlier this year, we introduced Google Earth AI, our family of geospatial AI models and reasoning agents that provides users with actionable insights to help tackle the planet's most critical needs. Today, we're announcing advancements in Earth AI's innovations and capabilities: — We’re bringing Gemini capabilities into Google Earth, letting users instantly find objects and discover patterns from satellite imagery. — With Geospatial Reasoning, analysts can now connect multiple Earth AI models (like weather forecasts, population maps, and satellite imagery) to answer complex questions.

It's important for you to create content and share your work - but not always for the reasons you think. A couple weeks ago, I built this app to illustrate how a 500km circle gets distorted around the globe. The app used Shiny, R, and sf to dynamically generate 500km buffers.

Regarding the nexus between GMO and genocidal violence in Nigeria, I worked on this back in February. Seems topical today.

April Dump. Dropping the last part of my series but now we look at the potential market for Earth Observation in Africa. It's a long road ahead but hoping that this will turn into real discussions. omowonuola-akintola.github.i… As usual, I hope you enjoy reading.

A moment exactly 14 years ago. Later that year, what you see on the screens got released as @LeafletJS. At the time, I never would have dreamed of how much this little piece of code would impact my career and the mapping software industry as a whole. Good times!

A lot of #gis people have been asking me about GeoAI - what it is, how to start, & how to actually use it to solve problems. We had a space & you can still catch the recording), but here’s a thread breaking it all down. If you want to get started with GeoAI, this is for you! 🧵
