I'm a first-year medical student in Nigeria running a solo systematic review on AI-assisted cardiovascular risk prediction in Sub-Saharan Africa. No supervisor. No institutional database access. Phone only. Here's what that actually looks like. 🧵

The poverty of Africa is one of the most successful lies ever told. Not because Africa has no poverty. It does. The poverty is real and it kills real people every day. But the story of why, that is the lie. The story says: underdevelopment. Corruption. Tribalism. Poor institutions. A continent that simply never found its footing. The story does not say: 400 years of slave trade that forcibly removed somewhere between 12 and 20 million people, the young, the strong, the able, from the continent’s productive capacity. The story does not say: colonialism that reorganized entire economies to produce raw materials for European industry and banned the development of local manufacturing. The story does not say: the debt architecture of the post-independence era, which ensured that countries that escaped political colonialism immediately entered financial colonialism, with IMF conditions attached that dismantled the public institutions the colonizers had refused to build in the first place. Africa is not underdeveloped. Africa is precisely as developed as centuries of deliberate extraction were designed to leave it. That is not misfortune. That is a policy outcome.

Stop idolizing politicians. They’re our employees, and when they don’t do their jobs, we need to fucking fire them.

Right next to being born.
Being born in Nigeria is the Top 2 worst things that can happen to a Human being.

toni morrison was 39 when she published her first novel, the bluest eye. she went on to be one of the most important voices in literature and won the nobel and the pulitzer among many other awards.
I'm 37, is it too late to start over? Be honest.

My contribution to family events is to make the children question patriarchy and religion.

I'm genuinely confused. So after the inflation. After the kidnappings. After months of no light. After tax and fuel hikes. After terrible healthcare. After salaries can't even keep up with feeding. Election Day comes then: You dress up, You leave your house, You queue under the hot sun, You vote for the same person again. You are not normal.

The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing. -Toni Morrison

People who won’t hug their guys, spend the night at their guys’ place, open up to their guys or call their guys to order because it’s “feminine” and therefore, “gay”. They’re surplus, no fear.👍
I need Nigerian women to understand that there are still scores of homophobic males left for them. Like they’re not a dwindling population. Males so homophobic they would not carry a tote bag coz they’re “not gay” If you want them so bad I promise they’re still around.

Truly one of the more disappointing things about society in Nigeria. People are minding their business and finding joy in their expression. Not harming you in any way. And you go out of your way to target them, polarize them and make them moving targets.

A current president using words like “i will do…” instead of “i have done…” during campaign is just wild to me.

I truly pity emerging writers from the continent, for they have always been the orphans of literature. I have been there, as have many of us. Our governments don’t care about art. All they want to do is loot and loot and loot. The foreign and domestic organizations that claim they want to save our art most times want to be saviors without an ounce of backbone. The writers, those among us who have made it, want to be worshipped as gatekeepers and geniuses. And so we are left to apply to foreign schools, to do anything to save our art, knowing that we will never be protected. I truly bless people like Troy, who have continued to create spaces for writers. I read that Caine whatever. I have promised myself not to say anything about it. We are truly fucked. So try and save yourself, because there is nothing about our literary community that will come and save you.

Everybody else on Twitter seems to have bought a blue tick. There is only me left. Shoutout if you aren't ever giving Elon Musk a penny or calling Twitter anything but Twitter.

I actually like the fact that Soludo and other Igbo governors/politicians are opposing Peter Obi. It goes to say Peter Obi is not an Igbo project. Peter Obi is a Nigeria Project.

Would they have spent money, involved experts, tortured a writer then brought out their Chair connected a ring light to report back, if a journalist from Nigeria or Zimbabwe had made that allegation? Would they?

Sory, ale edukacja od 6 do 22-26 roku życia powinna mi dawać dostęp do 98% miejsc w pracy w gospodarce. Uczymy się 16 lat tylko po to, by dostać jeszcze w mordę wymaganiem 2+ lat doświadczenia do byle entry jobu u Janusza, obecny system edukacji to gwałt na młodych ludziach+
