Politics / Re: Happy Slaves Are The Greatest Obstacles To Freedom. by Nelsononu: 2:35pm On Apr 28, 2023
Makavelli001:
*Happy Slaves.*
*(Are you one of the few Happy Slaves, if Yes, turn a New Leaf Now and receive sense!)*

It is difficult to control a crowd of slaves in a slave farm but the slave master knows what to do. He targets a few slaves and makes them happy, at least, relatively happier than their counterparts. Make a few slaves happy and they will be loyal to you. They will be happy to defend you with their lives. They will go any length to do so.

Yes! They will defend you at the expense of their own. They will forget that they are slaves too. They will fail to see that they are also having the short end of the stick. They will bring you tales about other slaves. They will snitch on them. They are your loyal foot soldiers and they will help you foil any attempts by other slaves to be free.

Friends, if you are conversant with aspects of the defunct transatlantic and trans-saharan slave trades of yore, you will recall there were such nomenclatures as the "house negro" and the "field negro". The house negro lived in the house, same house with the master, may be in the attic or the basement. Unlike the field negro, he didn't work on the plantation. Neither was he exposed to the full extent of the harsh realities of a slave.

The House negro ate the left over food on his master's table. While his counterpart in the field walked barefoot, the house negro wore his master's used and abandoned clothes and shoes 👟. He became completely assimilated into his master. He saw himself as an extension of him. However, this was only in his head. He was still a slave and had no real path to freedom or an inheritance in the house of his master. His master knew this but the house negro didn't know it.

Whenever the master bought a horse 🐎, the house negro would say "we have a horse". If the master was sick, he'd say "we are sick'. Whenever the master said "it is my turn", the house negro would say "it is our turn'. Hence, he totally forgot his own reality. He worked at cross-purposes with other slaves who were yearning for freedom. He foiled their attempts to be free. Essentially, the house negro forgot he was still a slave simply because of the relative comfort and privileges that could easily be taken away from him.

Friends, from the foregoing, my message ought to be clear. Happy slaves are the greatest enemies of true freedom. They labour to maintain the status quo. As long as they are able to "eat" from it, no matter how bad a system is, they are good. There is nothing as heavenly as having a good system. A bad system beats good people. It makes everyone a victim in the long run.

Interestingly, the happy slaves among us are few but they are sufficiently animated or motivated by the crumbs that fall on their laps from their master's table. Please don't allow any happy slave to gaslight or silence you. Keep making your demands known until we have a better society that works for all and not for a few leaders who have gone rogue.

It is a new day!
i quite agree with you

SaiBuharii:
Goodluck Egbere Azikiwe Jonathan will definitely end up in prison. He deserves to be an exconvict.

The man single handedly finished this country. I am still amazed at where he got millions of votes from certain regions. It shows the amount of stupiid people we have in the winning regions and the country in general. Buhari should perhaps clear this people.

Like I advise, now that the clensing has commenced, it's either you join the train and jejely go to the new prison we are building for you. Baba has gone to get prison plans from obama, airconditioned prisons.

Any trouble from naija delta militants or biafra soldiers will be met with tough comebackz from the govt...we will kill you. We have eneough bombs, you will die, it's one bomb per head. We will tie the bomb to your neck so there will not be a part of your body to bury. We will execute you all. I'm not mincing words today, distractions are not tolerated. You have been warned.
please we just can't wait for mat 29th
Politics / Re: Thinking Of Relocating Back To Naija by Nelsononu: 2:30pm On Apr 28, 2023
Olabestonic001:


It depends...

(a) If you're just hustling to survive in the US and your family (e.g. wife, parents, siblings etc) is not there and you have skills/jobs that can pay you at least 500k in Nigeria, moving back might be better. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, your mental health will come next after survival. With 500k, you'll always survive in Nigeria, and you can always be with your family. I perceive that 500k in Nigeria will give you a similar power purchase of $75k yearly in the US. With missing your family, friends etc, the conversion rate doesn't matter that much.

(b) If you are doing great work that is sponsoring your working visa in the US, you might want to have international experience and think of marriage with someone that you can bond with (Nigerian, American etc.) or bring one of your siblings that you can bond with over (if your Visa is that powerful). After getting your US Green Card/Citizenship, you might still move back to Nigeria (if you want) and evolve your own brand/career.

I understand most people that think everything is great about japaing. Some are struggling economically, and their best bet is to 'japa'; others are falling for the bandwagon effect ('me-too wan do am'), yet others want the experience of living abroad. What they fail to know is that:

- You spend much of your money on living costs (tax, house rent, insurance, health, car, etc.)
- The communal life is not here (everyone is running around to survive), and this can induce depression
- The weather can be very wicked, and natural disasters are common in some cities ( think the US and New Zealand)
- Marriage is under threat here, and depending on your values, you might be affected
- Depending on your family setting, the Black man tax can set in easily because there is a legend of some trees dispensing cash in Abroad. In Nigeria, even if you make more money than Abroad, that expectation is low.

I hope you look at your dynamics and make the right decision.

my brother it's well
