Just in case people are not aware, the removal of electricity subsidies in Nigeria, which has caused the astronomical rise in electricity prices, was directly dictated by the World Bank's to both the previous and the present Nigerian government. Whether you think electricity should even be subsidised or not (I personally think it should be, because there is literally no serious country in the world where it isn't), what should worry you more than the removal alone is the fact that a small group of unelected, anonymous white men in Washington DC acting on behalf of a foreign state interest (the US govt is the World Bank's biggest shareholder) have the power to determine how much you should pay for your electricity in Nigeria. The electricity is generated in Nigeria, using Nigerian energy sources and Nigerian labour, and is distributed and transmitted using Nigerian infrastructure, but one group of oyibos you have never heard of who are sitting on another continent somehow have the power to instruct your government to raise your energy bills and complicate your life. They even offer your government loans that it doesn't need and isn't qualified for, then they make disbursement conditional on increasing your electricity bill by removing the same electricity subsidy that they have in their own country, because Africa's largest population and industrial cluster must not be allowed to have sustained and reliable access to cheap power. If it gets that, the only possible result is industrialisation - which means no more free natural resources and cheap labour to support the existing unipolar economic order. This is why geopolitics concerns you in Agege. It literally determines the price of your Ikeja Electric units.

Africans are very interesting people. Your continent has the most countries of any continent in the world (54) and has EVERY human and natural resource necessary for every kind of activity known to man. Instead of advocating for those 54 countries to cooperate and aggregate their resources for rapid development that would be even more spectacular than that of China, young Africans who claim to be educated are rather accepting gigs from foreign embassies to shill naked, unhidden imperialism. Osino "As much as we want to be fully independent and free, I think we need international support." The same "international support" that tried to start a regional war in West Africa just 19 months ago. The young African idiots cannot ask themselves "Why is it impossible to drive from Accra to Nairobi in a straight line; or carry out a transaction between Abuja and Kampala using only NGN/UGX; or fly from Kigali to Lusaka without paying more than it costs to fly from Kigali to Doha?" They cannot see that there are forces actively obstructing Africa's ability to mobilise its own resources for internal cooperation and rapid development, and that their generational challenge is to ensure that Africans can trade, transact, and travel freely within Africa - because that is the only scenario where Africa has any kind of future. They rather prefer to collect social media shill gigs for a few pennies, with which they hope to eventually save up enough money to get a visa and a flight ticket to run away and become an unpaid anti-racism activist in a white man's country. Thoroughly useless people.
