On some real shyt, everybody who is black but ain't African...
Not even on some pan African shyt but some real shyt...
This shyt is a sad embarrassment.
Nigerians have thick ass skin.
That's why you see some folks in here ok with this shyt and alluding to their knowledge of Nigerian politics.
The problem is people have been killed and beaten like dogs for trying to vote in broad day light and we Nigerians normalize it and call it politics.
At least in America there is decency to commit atrocities in secret.
So Im highlighting this to other black people because in my opinion...
No matter how civilized, smart, rich, etc you get
The world sees Africa as your natural habitat
And as long as this shyt is happening in Africa and accepted as the norm...
We as black people have to own that.
With that, I'm still waiting to see how this plays out.
The stuff going on in Nigeria is baby shyt compared to the elections that has and continues to happen in USA elections.
African Americans used to get lynched when they tried to vote. Ron DeSantis was just having Black people locked up last year in Florida when they tried to vote, which was based upon bullshyt Republican legislatures stripping away voting rights from Black people who had criminal records. Politicians routinely shut down Black people polling places in the USA and/or gives Black voting communities defective machines to stop them from voting. All of those actions routinely cause long lines in Black people voting precincts which is designed to make Black people not want to vote. White people are always trying to kill the voting rights act; or trying to cast out Black people votes; or trying to get governors to over turn elections; or Hell when all else fails they will even attack congress to try to make them over throw a presidential election.
It doesn't sound like y'all have to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar or pay a poll tax in Nigeria in order to vote, but that is stuff that Black people used to have to do in the USA. It is just time to acknowledge a fact. Nigeria is a mess. It doesn't matter who wins the election. Nothing is going to change.
