Black Root

You are asking me why I use western technology services, but you are not asking the west why they rely on critical minerals from Africa for chips powering these technologies. You are asking me why I use Western social media platforms, but when we build our own, the same West will not leave our market. They would arrive with state-backed financial muscles and put local products out of business. Nigeria had local streaming services, Netflix and Spotify came and stifled them. And before you say, “but what are you doing, and why are your leaders not stopping them?” Well, isn’t that what we are preaching? We want leaders who would stand their ground and say NO, not puppets. If the leaders are not ready, as it seems, we want citizens who can rise up and seize sovereignty over every pillars of our society. I will continue to use Western social media platforms to preach this gospel, if you don’t like it, go and hug a transformer.
