Ahh the View-Master! That red toy with the clicker and the round reels. One of the most "high-class" toys we had back in the day in Nigeria. No batteries, no TV, just you and light from the window and click. How we learned with it: Geography/World: Reels of "7 Wonders of the World", animals, countries. First time many of us "saw" the Eiffel Tower or lions in the wild. Bible Stories/Cartoon: Sunday school reels and Noah’s Ark, Jesus, plus Disney, Tom & Jerry. You had to align it right, click gently, and queue your turn with siblings. Fight go start if someone "wasted clicks" Lol It taught us 3D vision, storytelling, and pure imagination before YouTube existed.

it's called structural adjustment program. created mass poverty in the 80s/90s and that eventually led to the mass adoption of evangelical christianity (and the islamic equivalent).

The next generation of African billionaires will likely emerge from manufacturing, logistics, energy, agribusiness, and technology infrastructure.

Your village people haven't won, and your family isn't cursed. You live in a country where it is 5x harder for young people to achieve their goals. There is nothing wrong with you, you are not a failure. You are simply a product of a struggling economy.

When the Government wants to work, it will work Rivers State under Sim Fubura delivered 1000 homes in 24 months. It’s called the RIVTAF Golf Housing Estate. If “Abuja” wants to build 10,000 one and two-bedroom flats in Nigeria in 24 months, crash rent and win elections, it

In Nigeria, everyone thinks you make money if you target the oil guy with N2bn in his account. But you make far more if you target the trader with N130m in his account. There are MANY people with that kind of money. Everyone who owns a duplex has spent at least 50m, and duplex's are everywhere. The mistake lies in targeting people with N3m or less in their account.

Listen, it's only a well accomplished rich Nigerian man that can die abroad with no structure put in place at home that outlives him. Then after his burial, his children just enjoy his funds with no impact whatsoever. This Outlier 'controversy' brings up something I've been mulling over. Non-black races study legal loopholes in order to benefit from them. For instance, Indians are renown for creating outsourcing Agencies because they understand pooling strengths and abilities, and maximising their skillsets. A black man can be intelligent and well read, yet be completely dull when it comes to pooling resources to benefit those coming after him even if it means dissecting legal loopholes. Beyond "brain drain," this is a fundamental issue that has permeated our psyche. Even if an Indian can't personally create an Outlier account for his people back home, they can create an Agency and uncover proxy legal loopholes to make that a viable path. Before you know, Outlier opens support offices in India because they see value. But here? "Na only me be big man!" "Those people are lazy, and don't want to work" or the worst, "it's God that is helping us oo" bla bla. That's why they can tension you on X as they go on vacations yet, you don't derive any value from their lives as "well accomplished individuals." Have you seen Elon Musk posting vacation pictures? Not saying that posting vacation pictures is bad, but people that have value give value or think about how to give value, not all these fear-mongering that is unrealistic.

Soviet An-12 transport planes (Antonov) lands in Kano Airport August 1967: During the Nigerian Civil War against Biafra, Egypt served as the source for a supply mission that sent vital equipment to the Nigerian Air Force. These cargo operations moved through Kano Airport, now Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport. In August 1967, multiple Soviet An-12 transport planes from Aeroflot landed there to offload military jets. The An-12 deliveries consisted of eight MiG-17 fighter jets, serial numbers NAF603 to NAF610, plus two MiG-15UTI trainer aircraft, NAF601 and NAF602.

When you make a lot of money at once, two feelings come over you. Joy and relief. Joy makes you want to meet all your cash needs and wants and share it with others who make you happy. Relief makes you realize that the pressure of poverty is gone or lessened. Choose relief.

Yesterday, I had an interesting conversation with a very successful friend who runs her own fund. She is a gorgeous Nigerian in her early 40s, and she told me that she had given up on marriage because she sees it as an oppressive institution. I decided to probe further to learn.

**If you are kidnapped in Nigeria, you are completely on your own. No security agency will save you. "My nephew was kidnapped while I was SA to Vice President Shettima. I knocked on every door, entered every office, and gave them the exact coordinates of the location. They promised to help but couldn't. We spent ₦175 Million, including ransom, before he was released after 36 days in captivity. The security agencies couldn't help." - Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, brother to Datti Baba-Ahmed

When the government wants to work, it will work A government that can build this in 24 months can also build a 1004 complex of one and two-room apartments in Abuja, and destroy the high cost of rent and win elections The same way the government used solar to power itself out of darkness, but left you in band A Notice how corruption did not affect these projects You, who are writing a draft to attack this post, tell me what the government has done for you personally

October 1960: The controversy stemmed from the fact that Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh was not originally meant to dance with the Princess. He went against Balewa’s orders. Photo 1: Festus Okotie Eboh dances with Princess Alexandra of Kent in 1960 at the Federal Palace Hotel ball room, Victoria Island Lagos. There’s a story that broke that era. It was 29 year old Maitama Sule that was supposed to have danced with her until Festus Okotie Eboh shoved him aside: The well-known episode during the Independence State Ball at Federal Palace Hotel centered on Finance Minister Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh dancing with Princess Alexandra of Kent, who stood in for the British monarchy at the 1960 independence festivities. Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa had personally picked the youthful, magnetic Mines and Power Minister, Maitama Sule, to replace him for the official waltz. What emerged then focused on the clash and final disregard of that order: Photo 2: Maitama Sule was 29 back then and had apparently already started practicing for the royal dance. The Disruption: Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, a higher-ranking and extremely rich and powerful cabinet member, firmly rejected the Prime Minister’s pick. He saw it as improper and insulting for a junior minister to carry out the ceremonial task with the British royal. The Seizure: Asserting his political weight, he grabbed the slot and went onto the dance floor with Princess Alexandra himself. The scene was famously shot by French photographer Marc Riboud and remains one of the most celebrated and endlessly debated images from Nigeria’s early post-independence era. Now You know.

That’s a lie. The 25bn bank recapitalization was initiated on July 6, 2004 and concluded on December 31, 2005. Obi left Fidelity Bank in 2002, after being the chairman since 1994. During his reign, GTBank, in 1996, got listed on the NSE while Fidelity hadn’t even found it’s

From Africa’s Largest Economy To Currency Shame: How Nigeria’s Naira Falls Below Zimbabwe’s Currency In Historic Humiliation Under Tinubu parallelfactsnews.com/nigeria-naira-…

I listened to the full 1hr 22min interview with @PeterObi yesterday and I am more than convinced on why he is a major threat to many career Nigerian politicians. Man is willing to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to end hunger, poverty, insecurity and corruption. Bear in mind that Nigeria is largely preoccupied by state capture and a gang of political thieves who will do whatever in their capacity to keep Nigeria the way it is at the moment. Peter Obi represents a new order, a total departure from transactional politics, contract inflations, budget padding and will gladly lay down his life to see that Nigeria is steered towards a new trajectory of hope. As young people, we must continue to demand and fight for a better Nigeria for us all. We have been largely shortchanged in the project called Nigeria and today, we say "NO MORE" Nigeria will be great in my lifetime.
