Elon Musk could be the most dangerous man in the world due to his influence and power. He has the ability to amplify or stifle voices through his platforms.

I highlight how Musk's actions and ideologies are not aligned with the prosperity of Africa or black people.

He is promoting the Great Replacement Theory, which is a cornerstone of white supremacy. I emphasise the need for Africans to think strategically and autonomously, rather than being followers and slaves to the machine.

Musk's focus on whiteness and lack of engagement with African issues is strange as he’s supposed to be a South African.

The recent decision to revert Nigeria's national anthem from "Arise, O Compatriots" to "Nigeria, We Hail Thee" has sparked significant controversy and criticism. Critics argue that this move is not only regressive but also distracts from more pressing issues facing the country.

"Nigeria, We Hail Thee," originally adopted at independence in 1960, was composed by British expatriates Lillian Jean Williams and Frances Berda, reflecting a colonial perspective. Its reintroduction has been seen as a step back, rekindling colonial legacies at a time when many Nigerians are seeking to assert their post-colonial identity and sovereignty.

The original change in 1978 to "Arise, O Compatriots" was motivated by a desire to create a national symbol that better reflected Nigeria's own values and aspirations. Composed by a group of Nigerians, the anthem emphasised unity, patriotism, and a collective responsibility to nation-building.

Moreover, many view the anthem change as a diversion from critical issues such as economic instability, insecurity, and political corruption. The legislative speed with which the bill was passed contrasts starkly with the delays and rejections of other significant bills, raising concerns about the priorities of the government.

Overall, the decision to reinstate "Nigeria, We Hail Thee" is seen by many as a distraction and a step backward in Nigeria’s quest for a post-colonial identity and national unity. It highlights a disconnect between the government's actions and the needs and aspirations of its people.
