🇿🇦 “Leave our country by June 30. The fight is not about you; it’s about fixing and correcting our system.” — South Africans were seen confronting two African nationals, telling them they have until June 30 to leave the country as part of calls to address issues within South Africa.

what's the market size of chocolate and butter in Nigeria? Even in Africa as a whole? What's the chocolate consumption per capita here. The truth is that, there's simply no market for chocolate here. Economic nationalists always get it wrong.

Nigeria sells raw cocoa at $8,000 a tonne. Processed into butter it earns $48,000. Made into chocolate it earns $240,000. 30 times the money, yet Nigeria is still choosing $8,000.

It is deeply disturbing and wildly hypocritical that U.S. politician Riley Moore is quietly working behind the scenes with Washington to pressure, bully, and strong-arm Nigeria into creating a state policing system. Thanks to this relentless diplomatic campaign, endless foreign lobbying, and indirect threats of secondary economic sanctions, the spineless union of comprador elites at the Nigerian House of Representatives has unilaterally voted for the approval of this dangerous Bill. This means state policing will soon be codified into the Nigerian constitution and officially signed into law. What is even more terrifying and deeply depressing is that a sweeping majority of ordinary Nigerians are actually sitting idly by, clapping enthusiastically, and cheering passionately for this legislative Trojan horse to be passed and codified into law. This tragic ignorance is somewhat understandable since our hopelessly compromised media outlets, corrupt television pundits, and American grant-chasing activists have been heavily whitewashing, glorifying, and aggressively sanitizing this Bill. All of a sudden, the manufactured narrative is that state policing will miraculously solve the insecurity crisis, magically end the rampant kidnappings, and immediately stop the bloodshed. The lie being sold is that it will allow the state governors of the federation to properly coordinate their local forces, deploy tactical teams, and respond swiftly to terror attacks, rural banditry, and highway kidnappings without the usual suffocating bureaucratic hurdles. First of all, this is a blatant lie cooked straight up in the deepest pits of hell purely to appeal to the raw, bleeding emotions of ordinary Nigerians who are already exhausted victims of this daily insecurity. To clearly see why this is a massive deception, please permit me to enlighten you that the chronic insecurity in Nigeria is absolutely not happening because the state is simply unable to properly control its policing units, direct its tactical squads, or manage its intelligence networks. Insecurity in Nigeria happens strictly due to a severe, intentional, and catastrophic governance vacuum. In many parts of Nigeria, there is a sharp, heartbreaking contrast in the standard of living between the political elites living in the fortified cities and the neglected masses living deep inside the rural, agrarian communities. The state capital and a tiny handful of commercially successful towns are the only places where all the functional government institutions actually exist. This neatly includes the lucrative revenue collection offices, the sprawling supreme courts, the heavily fortified police headquarters, the massive military barracks, the well-paved road networks, the exclusive government hospitals, and the elite private schools. Meanwhile, in the distant rural communities, these critical state institutions are practically and deliberately absent. The only visible signs of government are a handful of decaying health centers, roofless community schools, abandoned water projects, and ghost clinics, all of which are violently underfunded, hopelessly neglected, and operating far below basic human capacity. This massive vacuum is exactly where opportunistic foreign NGOs, radical Islamic clerics, and wealthy Christian missionaries swoop in to completely fill the void. In Northern Nigeria, which is the birthplace of Boko Haram and where over 90% of the terrorism in Nigeria violently takes place, there are reported to be more than 20 million supposedly out-of-school children. But these children are not technically out of school. They are actively being educated informally in isolated Islamic temples teaching strict Wahhabi-Salafi Islam, which is a highly distorted, weaponized version of the religion that brainwashes the pupil to violently hate the secular state, despise democracy, and view any modern scientific progress, secular education, or constitutional law as a direct threat that justifies establishing an Islamic caliphate. It is crucially important to know that this aggressive Wahhabi interpretation is not the original, peaceful version of Islam practiced globally. It was systematically cooked up, heavily funded, and aggressively exported by Saudi Arabia directly following an explicit request by the American government during the Cold War era. Most of the fierce Mujahideen that fought brutal guerrilla warfare against the Soviets in Afghanistan, as well as several top ISIS commanders, Al-Qaeda operatives, and regional warlords, were proudly produced straight from these exact ideological schools. It must also be loudly mentioned that Saudi Arabia has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Nigeria just to establish these Wahhabi schools, radicalize the youth, and build sprawling mosques. Even the very first founder of Boko Haram, Muhammad Yusuf, was thoroughly educated by these foreign-backed Wahhabi scholars, and he even eventually traveled to Saudi Arabia to further his radical studies, secure dark funding, and build lethal connections before returning to Nigeria to set up his terrifying Boko Haram terror networks. Not only are these foreign religious institutions brainwashing Nigerians in the North, but they also effectively provide all the basic social services that the actual government (which is too busy looting in the cities) is completely unable to provide. These desperate services include daily feeding, basic healthcare, conflict resolution, rudimentary shelter, clothing, and financial handouts. And this dangerous phenomenon is absolutely not exclusive to Northern Nigeria alone. Similar foreign-funded religious centers, evangelical cults, and shadowy NGOs exist heavily even in the South, but they all have their different setups, distinct financial architectures, and operational doctrines that heavily depend on the specific foreign interests exploiting that region. So effectively, the rural communities across Nigeria function as an entirely separate state within a state. This makes it structurally impossible for federal intelligence agencies to gather reliable, actionable information because the deadly rebels, bandits, and terrorists are usually recruited directly from the impoverished villagers, thanks to years of intense religious brainwashing, economic desperation, and systemic neglect. The innocent villagers cannot even help the state because, even if they clearly see heavily armed terrorists regrouping, stockpiling weapons, and setting up massive mobile camps right inside their farmlands, they have absolutely no modern way of quickly passing these critical tips to law enforcement. Furthermore, the poorly armed local vigilantes are always tragically overwhelmed, outgunned, and stretched incredibly thin, busy battling petty thieves, settling mundane local disputes, or fighting off heavily armed cattle rustlers, so there is very little they can actually do. So it is painfully clear that these ruthless rebels are able to effortlessly coordinate devastating attacks in Nigeria because their hardened fighters are recruited directly from the local villages, they understand the harsh geographic terrain far better than the suit-wearing security chiefs in Abuja, and the Nigerian state is completely, embarrassingly lacking in basic Human Intelligence (HUMINT) because they are effectively, arrogantly disconnected from the very people they claim to govern. So that begs the screaming, million-dollar question: How exactly is this highly celebrated state policing bill supposed to magically address any of this? There is basically zero structural provision for this underlying social rot, and if anything, things will only get spectacularly worse. This is not idle hearsay, wild speculation, or political conspiracy. It is basically written right there in the fine print of the new bill currently being aggressively pushed, heavily funded, and enthusiastically supported even by Washington to be codified into law. The new Bill explicitly dictates a messy, convoluted structure where the states shall only inherit 60% of the operational police officers in the region, while the remaining 40% percent stubbornly belongs to the federal government. This ridiculous mathematics means that under this new experimental system, the state governor, who is supposedly getting his own independent, highly effective police unit, will immediately be forced to operate at a massive, crippling disadvantage. Because if 100 percent of the entire centralized policing unit in a state cannot currently fix the insecurity, stop the kidnappings, or defeat the bandits, how in the absolute hell is a fractured, poorly funded 60 percent supposed to pull off that miracle? To make things infinitely worse, if you actually sit down and study the legislative text closely, things get even more terrifying. For example, the underlying operational framework dictates that the existing police command and control centers, the massive training academies, the sprawling barracks, the heavily fortified armories, the forensic laboratories, and the central communication hubs in the state all remain exclusive federal government property. This guarantees that once a so-called state police unit is established, the governors would then have to magically conjure up tens of billions of Naira. Not only would they have to spend aggressively on mass recruitment just to fill the massive 40 percent personnel gap absorbed back by the federal government, but they would now also have to practically build a new police force from absolute scratch. They would have to construct brand new barracks, buy thousands of armored patrol vehicles, procure heavy tactical assault weapons, purchase expensive riot gear, build local detention centers, and acquire modern communication radios just to be able to physically police their own state. This means that many bankrupt states would have to painfully wait for decades before they can even improve their basic security infrastructure. State governments will obviously, ruthlessly prioritize funding this bloated security apparatus over building new public schools, repairing collapsed bridges, or properly funding dying healthcare centers. As for the many heavily indebted states in the North that are already engulfed in violent flames thanks to the relentless Boko Haram insurgencies, raising this kind of capital is mathematically impossible. They will simply collapse completely into total anarchy, warlordism, and chaos because there is absolutely not sufficient internally generated revenue from these states to ever justify, fund, or sustain such massive, white-elephant policing projects. Now this begs another screaming, million-dollar question: What is the actual, hidden purpose of this new state policing law if not for pure, unadulterated political madness? This disjointed system will obviously, violently disrupt Nigeria's already fragile efforts to handle national security. The astronomical money that each impoverished state is expected to blindly cough up just to set up individual barracks, buy armored personnel carriers, establish forward operating bases, and procure basic tactical gear will run into the billions of dollars. And this massive financial bleeding is only just to get the symbolic, highly politicized police force somewhat operational, not even to actually fight the violent crime it was supposedly designed to defeat. The staggering capital required for this vanity project is comfortably enough to purchase dozens of highly advanced MQ-9 Reaper drones. These military-grade aerial beasts have the terrifying ability to stay airborne for up to 27 continuous hours, and a single drone can effortlessly patrol the entire dense forests of any individual state in Nigeria in less than one hour. If each state simply had about four of these unmanned beasts, they would have more than enough technological equipment to permanently crush crime in their regions. These drones come heavily equipped with state-of-the-art Multi-Spectral Targeting Systems, high-resolution infrared thermal cameras that can easily see human body heat through thick forest canopies, Synthetic Aperture Radar for all-weather tracking, laser designators for precision strikes, and deadly Hellfire missiles to vaporize terrorist camps. The billions about to be senselessly wasted on building useless concrete barracks, sewing colorful new uniforms, and purchasing outdated assault rifles for this new parallel policing unit would be put to infinitely better use if channeled into mounting solar-powered, high-definition CCTV cameras that span the entire road networks of the federation, thereby finally giving law enforcement enough hard data, facial recognition tracking, and real-time intelligence to actually fight crime. Right now in Nigeria, all we ever hear is that innocent people are getting kidnapped on the expressways, and that is tragically it. There are absolutely no CCTV footages capturing the exact license plate numbers of the operational vehicles doing the kidnapping, no aerial surveillance tracking the escape routes, no thermal imaging pinpointing the forest hideouts, no encrypted digital communication among patrol units, and no automated biometric databases. As a result, our brave but poorly equipped law enforcement officers are forced to operate completely in the blind, analog darkness. This is precisely why every single Nigerian needs to immediately forget about the distracting World Cup tournament, get off social media banter, and urgently download this new, highly toxic Bill that is about to be quietly smuggled, stamped, and codified into the constitution. This new piece of legislation needs to be aggressively studied, dissected, and exposed because it has the absolute, terrifying potential to completely collapse our entire existing security infrastructure within the next five short years. This is exactly what our highly paid TV pundits, morning show hosts, and public intellectuals need to be aggressively talking about. Not the trivial football banter, not the celebrity gossip, and definitely not the South African immigration crisis. Our innocent women and defenseless children are currently sleeping in terrifying, bandit-infested forests, being held for multi-million Naira ransoms, and this brutal reality should obviously anger us, deeply bother us, and violently push us to fight for a genuine, structural change. Instead, everyone seems to be getting dangerously comfortable, disturbingly docile, and completely brainwashed by this state-sponsored propaganda aggressively claiming that creating 36 heavily armed, underfunded, and politically loyal state militias will somehow magically reduce insecurity when codified into law. This is far beyond ridiculous. It will only maliciously deflect desperately needed funding away from the most critical, life-saving institutions in a state just to set up bloated barracks, buy expensive parade uniforms, and build lavish offices to house what will inevitably become glorified, armed government thugs. This is absolutely not a baseless rumor, a cynical theory, or an unfounded fear. Nigeria has heavily practiced state policing before, specifically during the pre-1966 era known as the chaotic First Republic, where regional governments commanded the notorious Native Authority Police. The security situation of the country back then was so violently bad, so fiercely tribal, and so politically compromised that it could easily be compared to the bloody warlordism era in China, where different parts of the country were brutally governed by different, heavily armed warlords. When this decentralized state policing was actively being practiced in Nigeria, the powerful regional premiers and governor did not use the men in uniform to fight actual crimes, protect the vulnerable, or secure the borders. Instead, these armed units were viciously deployed to aggressively rig regional elections on behalf of the ruling party, they were used to violently harass opposition candidates, they were dispatched to publicly humiliate, depose, and banish local traditional chiefs who were not completely loyal to the governor, they were weaponized to brutally crush peaceful tax protests, they were sent to extort market women, and they were transformed into ruthless, tribal hit squads. These are absolutely not empty rumors or historical exaggerations. You can easily find these facts documented in any credible history book, academic journal, or archival record detailing Nigeria's political violence during the First Republic. This state-sanctioned madness, regional tyranny, and police brutality continued unchecked until the military intervened and the civilian government was violently removed from power. It was shortly after this total collapse of law and order that the military government, under General Yakubu Gowon, set up a specialized panel to deeply investigate the catastrophic state policing doctrine in Nigeria. Following the panel's stark, undeniable recommendations, the entire bloody sham of state, regional, and Native Authority policing was permanently dismantled, fully centralized into the Nigeria Police Force, and completely abolished in all its entirety. And that was supposed to be the absolute end of that monumental, deadly stupidity. I am absolutely not a genius for pointing this out. All of this basic historical information spilled out here is public knowledge. U.S. politicians like Riley Moore and the foreign lobbyists pushing this agenda have all the intimate details, the historical data, and the risk assessments. Our utterly shameless, cash-and-carry media houses, who are subliminally brainwashing the public into believing that state policing is somehow going to magically empower state governors to tackle insecurity, fully know, see, and understand every single thing I am saying. They are deliberately ignoring the truth and merely reading the highly sanitized, deceptive scripts handed directly to them by their wealthy political paymasters, foreign grant-makers, and corporate sponsors, all just to comfortably convince exhausted Nigerians to blindly accept this suicidal Bill. When this legislative poison is finally codified into law, and Nigeria inevitably splinters, fractures, and gets violently reduced to a chaotic, warring wasteland like Libya, Somalia, or Sudan (which is absolutely not impossible), these exact foreign cartels, multinational mining syndicates, and global power brokers pushing so hard for this Bill will finally have all the chaotic time, the ungoverned space, and the perfect distraction in the world to violently, ruthlessly milk the trillion-dollar solid minerals buried deep in the Middle Belt region, the vast gold reserves in Zamfara, the lithium deposits in Nasarawa, and the endless, fertile lands of Northern Nigeria. Every single Nigerian needs to urgently wake up, join hands together right now, and unilaterally, aggressively, and violently condemn, expose, and reject this utterly demonic, sovereignty-destroying bill before it is too late.

Ironically They can't take over those empty shops the "illegals" have vacated cos the rents are either too expensive or they can't afford to restock Now they're asking for Government funding To what end?

The people you are advising are insulting you in the comments. Why not just leave them to their fate & tell them "I told u so" later. They are not aware about how far this thing can go.

My gospel of African unity is not some cheap display of performative intellectualism. It is a non-negotiable necessity if we are to ever survive the crushing weight of Western imperialism. Ask yourself this very simple question. These paid TV pundits, and the hypocritical so-called human rights activists who are aggressively commanding you to boycott South Africa, why are they terrified of extending this exact same courtesy to Europe and America? Our Senegalese national team players were racially profiled, mercilessly harassed, and they were almost stripped naked on live television under the fraudulent guise of routine border checks. The absolute best football referee on the African continent was publicly humiliated, detained without cause, and shamelessly labeled a terrorist by American security agencies. How many of these loud, self-righteous TV hosts in Africa have ever been bold enough to brutally criticize these systemic, state-sponsored racial policies leveled against Africans in the United States? Our fellow Africans living in America are being violently uprooted from their homes in the middle of the night and packed like cattles into freezing ICE detention facilities, and many of them die in the process from deliberate medical neglect and physical abuse. Yet, not even once have these loud pundits dared to criticize these American Gestapo police tactics. The sheer volume of historical and modern crimes committed by the West against Africans is simply too horrific and too deeply entrenched for me to fully describe here. Yet you never see these fake human rights activists, the very people begging us to boycott South Africa, raise a single finger to criticize their Western paymasters. Ask yourself, why this cowardly, selective outrage? Dubai is actively shipping high-grade military weapons, launching lethal surveillance drones, and funneling billions in black-market funding to the RSF militias through Ethiopian logistical corridors. They are doing this to literally brutalize, starve, and systematically massacre our fellow African brothers and sisters in Sudan. Yet, not for one single second will you ever hear these disgusting activists and bought-off TV pundits talk about the apocalyptic suffering of the Sudanese people. They are not even calling for a global boycott of Dubai. In fact, these exact same hypocrites happily vacation in the UAE and they actively use Dubai as the ultimate pinnacle of human infrastructural development while completely ignoring the African blood staining those glittering skyscrapers. The Democratic Republic of Congo is being brutally stripped naked by multinational corporations but you will never, ever hear these criminal TV pundits talk about the corporate genocide in Congo. They will passionately command you to boycott South Africa, but they will completely lose their voices and absolutely never tell you to boycott Apple products. But the exact moment a crisis erupts in a fellow African nation, they instantly start tripping over themselves, foaming at the mouth, and begging the entire world to cancel and boycott a sister state. Let me be absolutely clear. I have always condemned the barbaric xenophobic attacks in South Africa. In fact, I have explicitly demanded total, paralyzing economic sanctions on the corrupt government of South Africa for their undeniable complicity in these grave human rights violations, atrocities that are happening right under their administrative watch, in broad daylight, and directly in front of highly militarized, state-funded security networks that do absolutely nothing to intervene. But what we must absolutely not do is allow this manufactured, selective outrage to permanently divide the African continent. We must never allow the Western media, and their paid local stooges, to trick us into hating our fellow Africans while giving the real imperial predators a free pass to continue extracting our wealth undisturbed. We must aggressively punish the failing political institutions, the corrupt immigration bureaucracies, and the complicit law enforcement agencies in South Africa without balkanizing our collective continental identity. To declare a total cultural war on the entire South African population is to play exactly into the bloody hands of the colonial masters who carved up this continent in Berlin. They desperately want us fighting each other with machetes in the gutters of Johannesburg and Lagos so that we remain far too distracted to notice the multinational cartels quietly emptying our gold mines, stealing our crude oil, and completely auctioning off our geopolitical future.

This is classically needless performative intellectualism. The people you want to unite with do not even see you as an enemy, but an evil that cannot be tolerated.

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities. I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs. God help this poor woman.

The spurning of South Africa’s national football team underscores deep resentment on the continent over the treatment of migrants bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

The truth is if we were still under a Colonial rule Nigeria would have been 100 times better We are incapable of ruling ourselves Bottom barrel humans
