I was watching a video on how PYOPS are orchestrated, you know the whole system for getting the general public who would usually have opposing views to agree on something.
arrghhhhh. this summarized my frustration this morning. we're easily carried away in this country. i don't think i've even heard anybbody call out this atm thing, inflation dey fly on a daily and all people are concerned about is the emblem on someone's lambo that was stolen????? JESUS COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN OOOOOOOOOO
God bless you. A lot of things are not right in the world at the moment but today’s human prefer to cry over the irrelevant issues, neglecting the major issues that affect their day to day activities. I pray and hope we get it right and not allow ourselves to be engineered in a way not to think for ourselves. Thank you chief Mena
For me, on one side, it tells how powerful the media is in shaping culture, appetite, interests and all. And also how clueless humans can be about what they need to do or know.
Epstein list was released and the media was used as tool for propaganda, to distract the public because they know how gullible the masses are.
Ultimately, I'm glad we have people, like yourself who see through their tricks. I hope we all see the light soon, as a nation.
I like to think that it is cultural conditioning. Activism or entertainment? Which one is most likely to not make you a scapegoat?
Our history has taught us "freedom of speech dey, freedom after speech no get assurance". The history of activism that we know, the one that keeps being passed down has the same message, you go collect. The most prominent history of activism that anybody should know is Fela. Everything he fought for is what we're are still fighting for almost 3 decades after his death, it is almost as if the only message from his activism was 'fight and get wrecked'. Even in recent years, we've watched Human rights activists dehumanized publicly, we've seen peaceful protests turn bloody. ENDSARS was supposed to be the time we all unite to be activist, we know how that ended. We are collectively conditioned to know that serious things don't get done unless someone puts their neck out, even that doesn't guarantee change. The useless gist we involve ourselves with could still get us in trouble, if you tweet something unpleasant about a celebrity, they could get you jailed illegally, publicity assault you, zero consequences.

There's too many things that is wrong with the mindset of the average Nigerian.
Don't know if it's mass brainwashing or a case of not being able to think for ourselves. But to see the wrong things trending and how easy people's attention are swayed from the things that actually matter is frustrating sometimes. I want to say they will be fine eventually but with the way things are going, that's not even certain.

This is a very goood comment, and I agree with you.
It’s just safer to just banter than actually do social activism

It is unbelievably comical the way most people prioritize the wrong things and expect the country to just get better all of a sudden.
