The Libya debacle by Obama created a stream of islamist combatants and weapons
That Stream has been flowing down through Chad, Niger Republic, etc to Nigeria and worsening our Islamist Terrorist problems
What did Obama do in response?
He backed Buhari's campaign

20 years ago at around 5:30 am, Anambra lawmakers impeached Peter Obi because he refused to inflate the state budget and share public money with politicians. If you are criticizing this man on the internet I want you to sit down and think about that for a moment.
A governor was removed because he refused to spend money recklessly, refused to satisfy political godfathers and refused to turn public funds into a settlement for lawmakers.
They accused him of gross misconduct because he drove a Peugeot 406, bought furniture locally and spent far less than the hundreds of millions approved for renovating the Governor's office and Lodge. They thought they could force him out and end his political journey. They were wrong.
The courts overturned his impeachment, and the Supreme Court later reaffirmed his right to complete his constitutionally guaranteed tenure.
Twenty years have passed, but one thing remains clear, Peter Obi's refusal to share public money with the corrupt political class was enough to make him their sworn enemy.
There are very few politicians in Nigeria like Peter Obi and I strongly believe that God has given us another opportunity to get things right in this country. Nigerians, please, do not take this opportunity for granted.

Science has an almost ZERO subjectivity.
Oftentimes, there's a certainly correct answer, which is correct for everyone in the world regardless of their biases.
If there are two correct answers, it is the same everywhere in the world, no matter the assessor.
Compare that to fields like Law, Philosophy, Sociology, Arts...
Beyond whatever you've read, studied or known, your opinion (answers in tests and exams) must also align with the examiner's thoughts, and/or must appeal to his subjective thoughts.
With this, an examiner can score you 32/100 and justify it comfortably.
In science, even if your examiner hates you on personal terms, there's a high chance you'd still excel if you write the “known” correct answers.
Again, fields differ.
if you have looked into this pattern very well, you would have realized that, people in Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences/Education don't graduate as best graduating students.
Also, same thing apply to JAMB UTME, hardly will you see 5% of students from Humanities writing the exam get 300+. Whyyyy do you this happen? Whyyy

Iran, despite being under heavy US/Western sanctions for almost 48 years - has been able to sustain quality public tertiary education. There's no reason why we should not be able to.
Why do you think US and Israel were bombing Iranian universities? Because they know that's where the brains who sustain the Iranian missile and drone industries come from.
Many Africans are quite foolish. Contrary to what Milton Friedman and Ronald Reagan preached, universities are not supposed to be money making ventures, and students are not supposed to be burdened with unsustainable college debts for the rest of their lives.
Americans are wealthy, they can afford all the neo-liberalism nonsense on education. We are poor, we cannot - and in any case, Americans have the option of free government funded K-12 education. We do not.

This is just warmed over 1980s/1990s liberal economics bullshit - the kind peddled by Milton Friedman, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
Africans just regurgitate it, without thinking. Nobody in East Asia did. The Indians never did.
Chinese universities are now catching up with US universities, the Indian IIT system is still world-class.
Many of us do not know what time of the day it is. The term "Human Capital" must mean something.
A University Education is not a "luxury", it is an absolute necessity. The people who teach your child biology, physics, agricultural science, English Language, mathematics etc., in secondary school have to be university graduates.
If the Government of a developing nation cannot effectively subsidise quality public education - then that nation has no future in the 21st Century.

This is the exact same economic gospel preached before the fuel subsidy removal. We were promised efficiency & instead, we got widespread poverty. You cannot financialise a public university system in a developing nation.
The new minimum wage is N70,000 a month(exactly N840,000 a year). How many Nigerian families can afford N1 million in tuition? Suggesting we hike fees & just cycle the funds back into "scholarships" is literally rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
The current crop of leaders pushing for these fees are the direct beneficiaries of Nigeria's golden age of education. They received free tuition, meal tickets, & stipends. Now that it is time to build the next generation, they are feeding them with lectures on economics.
Look at Europe. Several nations offer completely free university tuition to their citizens & sometimes even to foreigners. They do this b/c they understand that a highly educated populace is a structural economic necessity, not a luxury product for the "elite".
You cannot drag a country into the 21st century without mass education. After the Century of Humiliation, China aggressively funded education & sent thousands abroad to master engineering & science. You do not industrialise by pricing your youth out of the classroom. That's the same China we are using as a yardstick today.
Nigeria(ns) treats education like a burden rather than the sole pathway to industrialisation.

Music shapes entire generations, and they don't even have to be aware while it's happening.
It's like Mohbad (Imole) said: "Music no need permission to enter your spirit. Anyhow anywhere you must to feel it."
Look at the impact of Olu Maintain’s "Yahooze" in 2007. It served as a massive cultural catalyst for the "Yahoo-Yahoo" epidemic we see today.
If a single song can shift the youth's moral ideology so drastically, imagine the geopolitical threat of a global icon doing the exact opposite.
That was Bob Marley. His reggae was the psychological spine of anti-colonial revolutions worldwide.
He sang "Rasta don't work for no CIA" because he knew his art directly threatened Western hegemony (aka Babylon 🤣🤣)— which is precisely why knowledgeable insiders link the CIA to his 1976 assassination attempt.
Look at Fela Kuti. His Afrobeat was an outright declaration of war against neo-colonial puppets. To silence him, the local military government subjected him to over 200 arrests, burned his Kalakuta Republic to the ground, and murdered his mother. If a Nigerian regime used that level of raw military terrorism just to contain one man in Lagos, how hard do you think the global imperial apparatus will clamp down when an artist stands in the way of their entire global agenda?
This brings us to the ultimate end game: Geopolitics and demographic management.
By 2050, Africa will hold the fastest-growing youth population on earth. Nearly 1 out of every 4 people in the world will be African, and 1 out of 6 African will be Nigerian, with 1 out of every 25 random human on earth being Nigerian.
In the cold calculus of Western intelligence, a hyper-conscious, politically literate African youth population is an existential risk to Western hegemony and resource control.
More importantly, you must know that the mortal fear of the West is that if they fell out of power, others would do to them what they've done around the world for centuries.
So they figure that if a demographic giant wakes up to the frequency of Felas and Marleys, they will become completely ungovernable.
So how do you control a population that massive without deploying armies? You do it through the algorithm. You fund and amplify a modern, sanitized music industry that rewards escapism, hyper-individualism, and material wealth over consciousness.
By filtering out the revolutionary spark, the global imperial apparatus achieves ultimate containment and neutralization. They don't need to assassinate the prophets anymore ("how long shall they kill our prophets...?"); they just use music and entertainment to turn a potential revolutionary generation into completely redolent, bio-pliable 'fauna'.
