Nice story with a great moral lesson. Reveals how biased the society can be.

More interesting however is how great the architecture of your write up is. Especially your transitions.

I enjoyed every bit of it.

NBC actually banned it because of him when a man who had not walked for over 20 years after his healing started running almost immediately. It doesn't work like that. That was an arrangee miracle. If you haven't walked for over 20 years, you'll need to learn how to walk again. Have you ever asked yourself why all these so called men of God have never gone to any hospital(s) to perform their miracle? That's because it's arranged. The miracles aren't real. Think about it yourself

You don't dictate the pace of miracles and how quickly restoration can happen. Same Lazarus dead and said to have started rotting for 4 days was resurrected and he walked out of his tomb, what is a cripple running "almost immediately" compared to a dead and decaying man walking out of his tomb?

I am.not.denying corruption. Or saying tinubu is a superhero we must worship. I am saying that if we want to reduce borrowing and participate more in government, we have to pay tax. Or we fast and pray that oil prices rise and stay above 150 dollars per barrel. That is the price we need oil to be so that we can live without paying any tax.


Government revenue this year was 54 trillion for the budget next year. Including borrowing..before corruption..for a nation our size we need something like 200 trillion naira annually as budget. Before things make sense..the sad thing also is that corruption makes matter worse, which is why our government is useless in not fighting it.

As for computerization, abeg. You want us to go.back to the day of paper and pencil, when things took months instead of days? When a bank transfer from one branch of the same bank to the other took a week?

Macron is a former Rothschild investment banker.

They will use France to launch beast system in Nigeria.

Tax I'd will transition to digital ID.

I'm more worried that some people are taking out loans in my name and those of my unborn children and putting systems in place to ensure we keep paying and servicing these loans whether we like it or not. And the fact that they don't actually do anything with these loans but only turn around to steal them.

It's clear something shady and against the Nigerian people has been concocted and that's why the government went to recruit social media influencers and content creators to package and shove the conspiracy down our throats.

Two of the creators they attempted to enlist into the machinery like Don Aza and Mimi Yakigar cried out and rejected it outrightly. That's exactly what every Nigerian must do in this time.

This is a new kind of slavery where our representatives collude with foreign actors to sell the citizens into servitude. Only that this time, the chains aren't physical, it's rather systemic. You work and slave away only to have your sweat and blood taxed away to pay white elite institutions.

Note that they may claim their roles are only consultative and advisory, and that the proceeds from taxing Nigerians don't go directly to them, but that these taxes are (purportedly) to be used in paying loans which they and their subsidiaries give to the politicians through other channels.

France's involvement is just a way of enforcing and making sure that Nigerians pay what they politicians owe--a kind of insurance policy with us as collateral. Which in truth is just the politicians borrowing money to steal then forcing us to pay for what they've stolen.

Now with the efficient tax-exraction mechanism being put in place by Rothschild, they can more confidently keep doling out loans, which in turn get stolen. On and on. Our great grand children will keep paying.

Rothschild gives out the loan, politicians divert/siphon the monies, we serve as collateral and milking cow. It goes on for years and Rothschild profits via interest and loan servicing. In fact, with the taxing system in place, they'll never allow this nation to at any time be out of debt.

The reason is because of the massive young population of Nigeria which ensures that loan can continually be serviced without fail. In this case, us being in debt to them is good business and they'd do anything to sustain it. Even if they need to fund insecurity in the North or force their cohorts into power and the contrivance against the will of the people.

Clear robbery of our people and collusion in high places.

Ohyoudidnt:
Is there really a way out? Either way the system is controlled by the same group.

It's actually fearful and in our faces without even attempting to hide it anymore. Clear sign of their belief that the spirit of the Nigerian people have been conquered in their fight against the crookery of their leaders.

The only way out is revolution!

With the new announcement of cooperation between Nigeria and France in taxing Nigerians, things stop being merely coincidental and start looking deliberately dangerous.

France's introduction into Nigeria’s taxation conversation under the harmless‑sounding language of “cooperation” is just so daring and open a move. This question is, cooperation in what, exactly? Tax advisory? Enforcement architecture? Digital capture systems? Data integration? Compliance frameworks?

These are not neutral tools. These are instruments of control.

And the context matters.

France is not just any country. France is the headquarters of Rothschild & Co—a financial institution with a long, well‑documented history of working with governments and elites to preserve power, stabilize extraction, and profit while ordinary people pay the price.

This is not conjecture. This is history. Do a quick Google search or ask AI and you'll find that, that has been their style from time immemorial. During the French revolution, when the suffering ordinary French citizens tried to free themselves from tyranny and heavy taxation by the elite, it was this very Rothschild (well, their patriarch and founder) who funded, advised, and helped the tyrants of their time fight to keep the people in perpetual bondage and servitude under the classification of the Third Estate.

That has been the blueprint of their operations, power, and wealth in nations throughout the world and throughout history and time.

Noteworthy is that France’s current president, Emmanuel Macron, is not a distant observer in this ecosystem. He is a former Rothschild banker himself who was employed in their Rothschild Banque Cie division from 2008 till his full foray into politics and French presidency in 2017.

France also carries a long and unresolved legacy of post‑colonial financial entanglement in Africa, where “technical assistance,” “reforms,” and “partnerships” have often translated into better extraction, tighter control, and reduced sovereignty for African states—always justified in the language of efficiency.

So when a heavily indebted Nigerian government, already hostile to transparency and allergic to accountability, invites France to “cooperate” on taxation, Nigerians should be uneasy.

Because the question is not whether France is helping Nigeria.

The question is:

Helping who, exactly?


And as for Rothschild (now Rothschild & Co, in France, as headquarters) does not need to be “pulling strings” for its historical role to be relevant.

The playbook is already known.

Rothschild banking houses have, over centuries:

financed monarchs and ruling elites against revolutionary and popular movements,

helped governments outlast, suppress, or exhaust their own people,

profited immensely from war finance, sovereign debt, privatization, and elite continuity.


This is not about evil intent. It is about alignment.

Elite finance has always aligned with:

governments that borrow,

systems that extract,

structures that preserve hierarchy,

and policies that guarantee repayment—no matter the human cost.

That alignment does not disappear because centuries have passed. It evolves. It modernizes. It becomes “technical,” “advisory,” “consultative.”

The main difference is that it's now clear the elite institution that stands to benefit via collusion with our corrupt government.

So when Nigeria moves to tighten taxation, expand enforcement, and perfect compliance—all while corruption goes unpunished and public benefit remains invisible—it is not unreasonable to suspect that an old model is being updated for a new era.

Not soldiers. Not whips. But systems. Databases. Compliance. Fear.

And Nigerians forced to pay for debts they did not incur, for projects they never see, for elites who never sacrifice.


A Nigerian elite class aligned with global finance. A foreign partner experienced in extraction systems. A population squeezed harder every year. And a state that perfects collection before justice.

History tells us where this road leads.

And Nigerians would be foolish—no, irresponsible—not to question it now, before January turns “cooperation” into coercion.

You've won. Now let's get back to the issue on hand.

Even your almighty iphone, hp, Toshiba almost90% of you technology. is manufactured in China. Shipped to California.

Not to talk of your clothing brands

Self-study and personal research helps alot. No be every time you go dey talk wettin person tell you
Learn to think and make decisions for yourself.

Never follow the multitude. Create your own path ✨️

Quality stuffs are shipped to those countries you mentioned and the inferior ones to Nigeria. Hope your logic, acquired in their university, isn't a chinko version made specifically for Nigeria?

lilsmart:
My education in China emphasized rigorous logical thinking, which has become the foundation of my problem solving approach.

No emotions here.

Hope that your logic isn't "chinko" like other Chinese products?

lilsmart:
That's logic not emotion

Exactly. Machines only have strong logic but zero personable emotion.

ObiORBiafra:
Or maybe they are trying to gather enough ransome money and run out of Nigeria.

That's a good one and not impossible. Very strong thinking and worthy of taking seriously.

lilsmart:
It's an honor you compare my writing skills to AI

Standing tall

The biggest problem with your writing feeling like something generated by a machine is that it feels impersonal and mechanical. No soul in it and so it doesn't connect.

lilsmart:
This logic is fundamentally flawed, as it misrepresents both the primary motive of the terrorists and the strategic calculus of a potential external intervention. The surge in abductions is far more likely a direct source of revenue and a demonstration of power to fuel their core insurgency, rather than a preemptive reaction to a speculative bombing campaign historically, such groups exploit local governance vacuums and systemic vulnerabilities, and the notion that they are strategically using civilians as body shields against a non imminent, large scale foreign bombing overlooks the fact that their primary operational environment is defined by a lack of high value military targets that would justify such an international response.

This sounds like an AI response

DomPerignon:
Or maybe they are using the threat of exposing them as sponsors to escalate .

That's also a possibility. Though I think that threat of exposing them for their sponsors they are can only be used as tool for blackmailing the government into taking no action.

The most probable reason for the increase in the kidnappings is to ensure bombs are not dropped on them enmasse.

DomPerignon:
True.

Kidnappings have been used by BH as human shield .

I share this same position as yours but I think there is more to it.

Ask yourself why are the governors in the most affected states entering negotiations with them?

In one particular '' peace meeting '' with bandits in Katsina, the leader of the bandits said '' Govt had not fulfilled their promise to them '' or meet up to their own ends.

This goes far deeper than what we know and I believe it goes back to 2014.

The terrorists aren't afraid of the Nigerian government nor running from them. Those ones are complicit in their genocide. Their headache is a possible bombing from the US, hence gathering human shield to discourage that possibility.

With threat of an invasion and possible bombing by the US, these terrorists are running scared.

The increase in their activities by abducting more and more civilians is for strategic reasons.

They're putting deterring measures in place to forestall any consideration of mass military bombings. So the people they're kidnapping are body shields. Bombings won't happen for their sakes.

Tell it on the mountains.

Have you heard?

Son of man, who art thou and why callest thou me hence? Answer sharp sharp before I jihad you in the name of the God of Mohammed (piss be upon him)?

Tinubu didn't win the last election and they know it. The people didn't vote incompetence, it was foisted on us by force. These GOs should know better and have continued speaking up against wickedness, but no, they didn't because hungry and desperate people are easy to manipulate and control.

That's true, Apostle has been speaking since forever. They even invited him to Abuja to intimidate him into silence.

Imindmybusiness:
I don't take him serious anymore but I used to, very much. He only spoke up now not because he cares but because he thinks a fellow yoruba man's government may be in jeopardy if Trump carries out his threats against terrorists in Nigeria. Adeboye knows that America will expose Tinubu's incompetence and that may lead to the collapse of a yoruba president. That's why he is speaking up now. I read the excerpt of his speech and I immediately understood the underlying message to Tinubu. The man Adeboye is a core ethnic jingoist and to him, tribe takes priority over whatever he is preaching. I'll rather go to hell proudly than go to Adeboye's heaven.

It has not gotten to that nah, going to hell cos of him is way too strong a resolve. Let's just settle for not taking these guys serious for now.

Obiedun:
I take him seriously. Some people have no regard for their own parents so don't expect them to have regard for others. I respect him

have at it

TruthsFM:
your hypocrisy stinks here. Tinubu government should eradicate terrorists here. It's long overdue

Go and read my other post. Adeboye is an important Christian figure and should have spoken up before now. Somebody needed to bring pressure. Adeboye and all the Christian leaders didn't despite majority of those dying being Christians. It took one poor pastor in Benue raising his voice for the world to hear and now he wants to tap in.

If calling a spade a spade is hypocrisy, then that I am proudly.

This man, like other big men of God in Nigeria, didn't deem it fit to speak out against this genocide until Trump in faraway America did and he has suddenly found his voice, trying to ride the wave like he did during endsars.

Doesn't seem genuine to me one bit. Just a means of staying relevant and steering himself in line of the public's good graces. Or maybe just being proactive to avoid criticisms and possible sanctions by the US for complicity through silence.

Imagine their counterpart, Sheik Gumi, always about the whole place defending his murderous brethren despite it not looking good on him while they (Adeboye, Oyedepo, and others) hold their peace in their safe places. After all, whoever dies, let him die, the remaining will continue to pay tithe. And the lord is always good.

All round hypocrites!

Even imagine. He said he was compelled to speak out (possibly by his PR people), meaning that otherwise he wouldn't have. I'm beginning to think it's time we boycotted these business centers called churches.

Terrorists aren't just showing their faces right now, they're the very government. The VP is a known terrorist founder and patron. And in case we haven't forgotten, that notorious Boko Haram commander, Kabiru Sokoto, was found in his house sometime back when wanted by the law.

Then What about Ali Modu Sheriff, the ex-governor of Bornu state? Well, check what Gemini said about him in the attached picture.

So if Ali Modu Sheriff and VP, Kashim Shettima, both founding members of the APC, have undeniable links to terrorists, therefore the present government is a terrorist organization, and not just that terrorists are now boldly showing their faces. They (the government) are the terrorists.

Also, I have it on good authority that immediately Buhari came into power, he ordered the quiet release of Boko Haram terrorists held in prisons all over the country, giving each good money to go with. And mind you, those terrorists were being paid monthly by the government even while in prison [I have evidence for my claims].

Note that Kabiru was wanted by the PDP government, likewise the Boko Haram terrorists in prison were arrested under the same.

These all goes to show that APC created terrorism in Nigeria in order to gain power and to retain power. The only government that ever fought terrorists was the PDP government.

So what aren't we saying?
