(French) Birdapp user makes the most acute observation of nigerian society in recent years. Even local nigerians 
stare in awe at how accurately racist it is.

To the illiterate dramatards or unaware of the functions among diaspora third worlders, the graph above is meant to represent the fate of any Respectable Black Man™:
forced to give money to his (extended) family, his president, and the corrupt police. The family spends it on overpriced, low quality items. The president gives kickbacks to his family and "business partners" (extended family). The corrupt police spends it on strippers/hookers.
This sparked a wave of nigerians begrudgingly recognizing the pinpoint accuracy of his observation:
OP even parades over the reluctant applause of his targets.
The man did a few more infographics on other countries:

A bunch of feuilles sneeding in this thread
Le contrat social Québécois A bunch of leafs sneeding in this thread
And a couple of EU ones on his french alt/og account
Fun fact, OP is also the guy who made this parody tweet which baited a whole bunch of rightoids a couple of years back! Absolutely dramapilled

In the fricking Ivory Coast, it's the fricking equivalent of something like a fricking 14% tax, and they were fricking able to encourage people to work more just by helping employees hide their income from the fricking aunties.

In the thread itself, the guy who posted the original infographic goes into a more in-depth explanation of "black tax" which was pretty interesting. It included an actual self-help book by a black woman entrepreneur that was exclusively about "how to set boundaries with your friends & family around your money."
An interesting takeaway from the threads though, to me, was that a lot of African people realize that this exists and is r-slurred, but are forced into it by social pressure. Like, you will lose your marriageability, reputation, etc locally if you refuse to pay out to your freeloading extended family members. Obviously you don't need to care about this if you just move away, but it's massively counter-productive to those societies ever accumulating any wealth within themselves, since they socially shun anyone who has the ability to generate more wealth if they don't bog themselves down in freeloading communalism.
