Police Brutality in Africa: A Colonial Legacy Police brutality in Africa is not accidental. It is the inheritance of colonial policing systems designed to protect power, suppress resistance, and control the poor. From British and French colonial rule to today’s underpaid, centralized, and militarized forces, the Spearhead’s Mckay Chukwu traces how a system built for domination was exported, preserved, and repurposed, and why real reform must begin by dismantling its colonial foundations.

Let’s just rename the country to “Happy slaves republic”

Independence Day in a few days and we are bigger slaves than we were in 1960.

Nigeria’s economy: the only place where growth and hunger rise together.

We have pea-brained elites in Nigeria, and it amazes me how they think. They would rather splurge on houses and cars than invest in manufacturing or create proper value chains. They shut down Lagos and London for birthday parties and graduations, while driving their Cullinans on bad roads in Ikoyi. Look at how long it took for Nigerians to start investing in large-scale retail supermarkets. The Indians, Lebanese, and South Africans cleaned out before we even started playing catch-up. Even in car assembly and manufacturing, it's the Indians and Lebanese. In generator sales and repairs, it's the Lebanese. Fine dining and hospitality? Still the Lebanese. So, aside from masquerading as property developers and collecting subsidies to round-trip petrol and USD, what exactly are the elites doing? I’m asking this because Dangote has disrupted a major business the elite once used to hold us by the jugular. You can’t import and sell cheaper than he does. You can’t say you just want to focus on the logistics. Things like this need to happen so they can wake up to the responsibility of investing and taking chances on business ideas in their own country.

Chelsea fans facing relegation but then realizing Arsenal have just bottled the league

Wonder how long before minimum wage arguments resurface. Between Apr 2019 when last min wage was set at N30k & now, CPI has increased by about 80%, cumulative MOM inflation about 60% & average headline inflation is about 15% so that N30k has a purchasing power today of about N17k

Nigeria forcing you to see shege!

We remember!!!!

I did a quick compilation of prices of some common food prices before border closure and current prices and the average inflation is in 200% zone. Prices keeps rising with static or diminishing income. @MBuhari @ProfOsinbajo MUST ACT! @HenshawKate @henryshield @Dajibawo1

An average 21 year old in Nigeria cannot afford to handle rent, school fees, the occasional restaurant meal, data & an iPhone X 256 gig. That’s a level of self actualization most 30 year olds struggle to pull off with serious planning. Free yourself of the pressure to belong.
