01
Isn't this just another Western-funded NGO platform that will be used to surveil and/or co-opt our movements?
02
Will you publish posts that criticise the Nigerian government or expose US or other imperialist interference?
03
How do I know this isn't a CIA front?
04
This is just a map of reformist, economistic NGO work. It doesn't address the structural contradictions of capitalism.
05
But you publish posts from religious organisations, market women, even 'traditional' groups. This is false consciousness. You are legitimising backward ideology.
06
This platform seems to prioritise individual stories over systemic analysis. What about the bigger picture?
07
How does this platform support the slow, patient work of community building?
08
How do you prevent the site from becoming just another source of 'heroic narratives' which is the opposite of what we need right now?
09
How will this platform help us build the Liberated Zones?
10
How do you prevent this platform from becoming just another tool of Western knowledge extraction?
11
Will this site publish content in indigenous languages?
12
This seems very text-heavy. What about oral traditions, songs, and visual culture?
13
How do you honour ancestors and traditional authority while also being a modern, digital platform?
14
This is a luxury. Communities under attack do not have time to write stories.
15
How does this help stop the killings and insecurity in Nigeria now?
16
What about trauma? We can't just document violence without healing.
17
This seems like it will bring more attention to our community, which might make us more of a target.
18
This platform could be valuable for understanding grassroots dynamics. How can we access the data?
19
We have resources that could help scale this platform. Can we discuss funding?
20
How can we collaborate? We have resources, expertise, and networks that could benefit this platform.
21
This platform seems chaotic. Where is the editorial quality control?"
22
How do you measure impact?
23
Are you neutral? This seems like a left-wing project.
24
How do you prevent the platform from being used by extremist groups?
25
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
