Don't apologize when entering someone's DM. It is open for a reason.
If they respond, fine. If they don't respond, fine.
If they respond well, very good. If they don't respond well, leave them alone.
Social media is a forum for socialising. Everyone will not socialise with you and that is okay. Fuck with who fucks with you and who wants to fuck you
Stop apologizing.
You are not entirely correct.
Africa's poverty is multifaceted. Colonialism played a role. But isn't it the only instrument.
1. Africa was set back through Colonialism. The wealth gap from that era matters a lot and gave the other race a huge advantage.
However, some places that experienced this made it through despite the inequality in resource possession.
2. After independence most African countries were only free on paper not practically. Imperialism became a thing. West African countries for instance Nigeria, were still ruled by the Queen even after independence.
As a matter of fact, francophone countries still pay the colonial levy to France.
3. After Imperialism, we metamorphosed into neo-colonialism. our present condition.
Countries like Nigeria have no independent government. Great Britain, and the US still influence our policies, system of government, economic model, and even Security.
So the average Nigerian thinks that when they vote the votes count and it elects their leaders. False!
Your votes don't count. Your leaders are to some extent pre-ordained by Great Britain and the US. They decide at least 40% who controls your affairs and who they back to win elections. This is why they send in independent observers to monitor your elections and approve the leader if it played out how they want by sending in congratulatory messages or not.
If it's someone they can't control they start a smear campaign against him and kick him out of office by labelling him a dictator or criminal and sponsor the opposition they can control. And even go as far as activating an uprising by funding opposition lines.
This is why Peter Obi did a campaign in Chatham to get the approval of the British elites and extend his international influence, appeal, and acceptance.
4. Bad leaders: The impact of bad leaders in Africa's underdevelopment is very minimal.
Why So?
(a) You don't elect your leaders, they are chosen.
(b) Your leaders are not allowed to express their managerial skills, policies are dictated to them or they can't get loans, can't win elections, and therefore can't modify hostile policies or they will lose access to aid.
(c) Your system of government is alien to you. It was not designed for your development in mind, it was designed with your control in mind and handed over.
This is why every nationalist African leader ends up being assassinated or designated a dictator or internally taken down through a local uprising funded by superpowers.
If you pay attention you can recognise the pattern from Kwame Nkruma to Thomas Sankara to Gaddafi.
African leaders have their flaws. But Africa inherently has no leaders because they are not allowed to lead themselves.
And there is no way any African leader can function and develop their nation if he plays by the rules handed to them.
This is why no matter who you elect, Democracy, Capitalism, and a Federal Republican system of government can never lead to progress in Nigeria or any part of West Africa.
"Africa's poverty is not caused by colonialism".
This is facts, 100%. Not dismissing the negative effects of colonialism, but Africa's poverty is as a result of bad leadership across the continent, with corruption allegations all over the place. The colonial era has passed, and
Scientifically, the BLACK woman is the only organism that possesses the mitochondrial DNA that has all the variations possible for every different kind of human being on this Earth. When the DNA of a black woman mutates, all other types of human beings come about. You can research this topic and it is true. This is called the "EVE gene" and is only found in black women.

Abacha’s biggest blunder was locking up MKO Abiola and allowing Tinubu to flee. Decades later, that terrible mistake has come back to completely ruin Nigeria.
Under General Sani Abacha, Nigeria was the safest country in Africa and we Nigerians were respected worldwide.
Nigeria survived all the multiple sanctions that would normally cripple a third world country.
Naira to Dollar was pegged at #22 to the dollar.
Then Tinubu and Co.
This girl on TikTok was crashing out about how Afrobeats is deteriorating and how we have to rely on old songs because they’re not dropping good music anymore.
Blaqbonez replied… y’all won’t believe what this girl said to Blaqbonez 😭
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
You’ll grow and realize…
We are powerless, simply because we are prayerful.
Government is clearly fvcking us in the a$$ and all we can do is become more rel!gious and pray harder for divine intervention🤦🏽♂️
To think the older generation that passed this mentality to us are the ones supporting the evil govt. the most.
I reiterate… We are senseless, powerless, docile and eternally stup!d… Simply because we are a prayerful nation.
You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.
Social media arrests that involves nabbing anonymous trolls take barely a week.
The kidnappers terrorising state by state - are constantly going live on Tiktok. No arrests.
Tells you everything you need to know.
Your politicians are using them to raise campaign funds.
