When you hear Northern Nigeria, what comes to mind. A headline, a statistic, a crisis. Every report about Northern Nigeria begins with a number.poverty rate, out of school children, malnutrition. We hear these numbers again and again and it shapes how the world sees the north and how the north sees itself. The numbers are real.I'm not here to dispute the numbers, but numbers describe symptoms. They don't always explain causes. Poverty is a condition. Disconnection is a diagnosis.I'm here to offer you a diff ...

RT Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes)Really think about this“I'm still confused why prosperity in my country is contingent on immigrants from countries where they can't produce prosperity at home. Like if Mexicans are really good at agriculture, construction, and labor jobs, then wouldn't Mexico be like this fully developed society that everybody would want to live in?And if Indians are really smart and good at computer science, wouldn't India be like a nucleus for innovation and tech giants spawning out of ...

Just as Reform rises when immigration is salient, the Tories rise when the economy is voters’ top issue. If they want to be relevant by the next election, it wouldn’t hurt to be unashamedly in favour of business, fiscal responsibility and prosperity https://t.co/jSO8yPJ00MIllustration: Ellie Foreman-Peck ...
Are the “Four Pillars” of Australia Day rooted?
Michael West· 2026-01-25 01:00
Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the myths surrounding Australia Day, questioning the validity of its celebrated pillars such as mateship, egalitarianism, freedom, and prosperity, and highlights the ongoing societal divisions and historical grievances associated with the date [1][30]. Group 1: Australia Day and Its Controversies - Australia Day is marked by debates over its significance, particularly the date of January 26, which is viewed as "invasion day" by many Indigenous Australians [5][6]. - The backlash against Woolworths for removing Australia-themed merchandise reflects a broader cultural conflict regarding national identity and patriotism [2][4]. - The right-wing response to calls for change often dismisses concerns as leftist grievances, indicating a divide in public opinion on the matter [6][7]. Group 2: Cultural Pillars and Their Critique - The four pillars of Australian culture—mateship, egalitarianism, freedom, and prosperity—are critiqued as being misrepresented or hollow in contemporary society [11][30]. - Former PM Tony Abbott's comments illustrate a selective pride in Australia's history, ignoring the darker aspects of its colonial past [10][19]. - The concept of mateship has evolved into cronyism among elites, undermining the idea of a classless society [18][19]. Group 3: Economic and Social Inequality - Wealth concentration is a significant issue, with the top 10% of households holding 46% of total wealth, while poverty affects 3.7 million Australians [25]. - The rise in discrimination against various groups, including Indigenous Australians and the LGBTQ community, suggests a decline in the egalitarian ideals once associated with Australia [26][27]. - Recent legislation regarding hate speech raises concerns about civil liberties, indicating a potential erosion of freedoms in the country [21][28].

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-02 15:47
[music] I'd like to invite you to ponder a big question with me which is where does prosperity come from. And I don't mean just in the level of how do you make an individual wealthy or how you make a individual business successful. I'm thinking at a macro scale.How do you lift up entire communities and states and even entire countries to make them prosperous. This is a particularly relevant question today at a time when public surveys show that almost half of Americans say that the American dream is slippin ...
