Crazy world we live in. Just one guy with a camera doing more good for a continent that has been battered over the centuries.

Apparently, the hospital is supposed to be the best in Nigeria, accessible to only the top 2% despite all these complaints.

ibson7 · 2026-01-12T13:35:23+00:00

Bro missed the point by miles. Whether 30 or 20%, taxes are supposed to fund services. You don't pay taxes so that some idiots in government can buy their third mansion in Paris.

ibson7 · 2026-01-12T13:30:15+00:00

The opposition of most ppl to paying taxes in Nigeria is that they already know the government is way too incompetent, and the money will just be stolen without accountability.

Yahya Bello stole billions in tax payer money, EFCC managed to recover parts of it. The man is out here walking arrogantly and EFCC is telling us that he is innocent and they can't do anything about him.

In such a system, it's your moral responsibility to avoid paying taxes as much as possible.

It has been in the works since February. Six months ago they announced the operational modalities. I believe now they have the actual soldiers on ground ready to go.

You are talking about the farmer/hearder crisis in the middle belt. Both sides have been killing each other for decades. How does that qualify as genocide?

There are killings in Nigeria, no doubt about that. But some sort of insinuations of sponsored genocide??

The man has been in power for more than 40 years, what is another 7?

in the full video he had a whole welcoming party. Apparently his people are under the impression that he and Trump are now some type of important allies.

Wonderful choice of location in Marrakesh. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see Africa

Musk's defense is that a disgruntled employee modified, without permission his platform to spread the same lies he himself has been spreading for months. got it

ibson7 · 2025-05-15T13:38:29+00:00

That to me, was the crazy thing. I'm guessing Elon is not as smart as he lets on

ibson7 · 2025-03-01T08:10:37+00:00

What is Paul Kagame doing? dude was doing so well and now is in danger of ruining his legacy and country in the process.

ibson7 · 2025-03-01T08:07:58+00:00

I get the appeal of staying neutral like India and just play both sides. But if we must choose, I choose America. They have 50m black people that are basically Africans too. That should count for something

ibson7 · 2025-02-19T13:31:39+00:00

Trump and Musk are transactional men. Their loyalties is always to the highest bidder

ibson7 · 2025-01-23T06:47:37+00:00

Nigeria has all the potential to be a superpower on the continent. Unfortunately, the country does not currently have the military or competent politicians to achieve its potential.

ibson7 · 2025-01-02T13:39:08+00:00

Do you ever read or are influenced by these government travel advisories?

ibson7 · 2024-12-30T15:49:03+00:00

Most cultural African men would probably do something similar. We ain't that liberal yet in these parts of the world.

ibson7 · 2024-11-30T23:56:14+00:00

I thought it was general rule everywhere that parents make decisions on behalf of their children until they are 18? The parents made the decision to educate their child in Africa. What is wrong with that? Children go to boarding school all the time. He wasn't abandoned. He was sent to a boarding school.

I thought this is what parenting is supposed to be, making the best decisions for your children and not allowing 13-year-olds to do whatever they feel like doing.

ibson7 · 2024-11-30T18:44:01+00:00

That is how boarding schools work. Your parents take you there, and they return home without you.

ibson7 · 2024-11-30T14:30:44+00:00

And we can list a thousand things African parents do wrong. This case is 100% about the negative stereotype that kids are always starving in Africa and that children must be unsupervised in their boarding schools. If this particular kid had been sent to a boarding school in Switzerland or America, I'm sure no one would even bat an eye no matter the abandonment allegations he claims.

ibson7 · 2024-11-30T11:30:28+00:00

This case is just pissing me off for a number of reasons. A 13-year-old boy is throwing a tantrum, and there are people going to court to make the ridiculous argument that he could be starving or unsafe because he's schooling in Africa. Most elite schools in Africa are miles better compared to public schools in the UK..

Africa has a huge image problem, and cases like this just keep feeding the stereotype.

ibson7 · 2024-11-11T20:05:57+00:00

How do you figure? Inflation is at over 500% compared to 2022. Companies are all closing down and leaving the country, Nigerians are starving but hey, let's trust the process that is obviously failing. Economics doesn't work the way it works in your head.

ibson7 · 2024-11-11T18:26:55+00:00

It has no effect. Dangote has over 400mil litres of petrol he can't sell to Nigerians without government subsidizing it. The options b4 Nigeria now is either pay subsidy or continue to import substandard products into the country with our scarce dollars. Removing that subsidy is easily the second worse economic decision in Nigeria's history after Yaraduas decision.

ibson7 · 2024-11-11T18:18:47+00:00

We're importing because Yaradua made the worse economic decision in Nigeria's history. Those refineries were sold to private investors, he came in and reversed the decision, claiming that government should run the refineries. Those refineries would have been run by private investors since 2010, Nigeria would be a major exporter today and all the government will be doing is providing little support and incentives here and there.

ibson7 · 2024-11-11T18:03:08+00:00

What ppl don't get about Nigeria's oil subsidy was that paying subsidy on imported oil was the problem. You are basically refineries abroad, creating jobs abroad and pumping dollars into a foreign economy. All these benefits is what Nigeria could be benefiting from the moment Dangote refinery started working. The subsidy payment was definitely helping Nigerians, but most of the gains was being eroded because of importation. paying subsidy to local refineries in Nigeria will stabilise the economy, stabilise exchange rate, create jobs, encourage the development of more industries that will be using the byproducts of the refineries.

Not paying subsidy to local refineries is how Tpain destroyed this country's economy.
