I'm neither a music journalist nor an Afrobeats specialist. What I do have is the ability to do research and spot patterns.

Patterns like how EVERY SINGLE TIME a new export product emerges from Nigeria, it takes a maximum of 20 years for it to end up fully controlled by the same group of American muzungus.

Oil & Gas - Controlled by them from the start

Agric commodities - Controlled by them from the start

Nollywood - Developed independently and built out a vast global market and ingenious distribution system by itself. Today, it is somehow completely hostage to Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube.

Afrobeats - Similar growth story to Nollywood. Now dominated by Lucian Grainge and his new army of male and female 'Afrobeats' artists who look like racially ambiguous K-pop idols.

Outsourcing and Freelancing - Somehow Nigeria doesn't have a single major indigenous BPO provider despite having Africa's deepest a
nd most sought-after talent pool. Market control has ended up in the hands of Andela and Microsoft.

Everytime you people build something, an American muzungu with dollars materialises out of thin air and ends up taking it easy from you either to completely monopolise it and ensure you get zero value from it, or to park it on a shelf somewhere.

If you're cursed with the deadly ability to recognise patterns, you will spot a pattern of predatory behaviour.

But if not, then it's just a coincidence and anyone who notices it is a conspiracy theorist who is jealous of your special relationship with your muzungu dollar blesser.

Samahani kaka.

One of the reasons I share almost everything we're doing in the South East is simple:

I want you to copy it.

If a strategy gets more children learning, gets more students excited about STEM, raises academic standards, or inspires excellence, don't admire it from afar or criticize Alex. Replicate it in your region. Improve it. Scale it.

Africa has spent too much time protecting ideas instead of spreading what works.

I don't want the South East to be the exception. I want it to become the template for Africa civilization.

Imagine every region in Nigeria building its own Olympiads, ranking schools, training teachers, identifying talent, and making education a public movement.

Imagine every African country adapting the same ideas to fit their own realities.

That's how continents change.

Education is Africa's greatest opportunity. If something works, copy it.

We are writing with heavy hearts to cry out for help.

42 children from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School, Askira Uba LGA, Borno State were abducted on May 15, 2026. The children include toddlers as young as 2 years old.

Today marks 67 days and our children are still being held in the forests. We have not heard anything about their whereabouts or condition.

We have waited, we have prayed, and we have reported. But up to today, we have not seen concrete action from the Borno State Government under Governor Babagana Zulum to secure their release and bring them home safely.

Our children are in the forest. They are scared, hungry, and in danger. Every day that passes puts their lives at more risk.

We are pleading:

1. Governor Zulum: Please act now. Deploy all necessary resources for the immediate rescue of the 42 Mussa children.
2. Security agencies: We need a coordinated rescue operation urgently.
3. The public and media: Help us amplify this. Do not let our children be forgotten.

We are parents, we are a community, and we are desperate. We cannot do this alone.

Please, help us call on the authorities to act before it is too late. Our children deserve to come home.

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,  
Concerned Parents and Community Members of Mussa, Borno State, Nigeria.

Everyone else has their struggle and nobody asks them to dilute it so that other people can feel included. There are West Asian struggles, South Asian struggles, Pacific Islander struggles, East Asian struggles, Latin American struggles, Balkan struggles, Australian aboriginal struggles, Native American struggles and Central Asian struggles.

They are all allowed to exist and breathe independently. Nobody ever accused those struggles of taking anything away from a wider socialist struggle.

Only when it comes to the African struggle must we be constantly lectured about why we must accommodate this or that group of virulently anti-black people in our African struggle, or else we will split this or that movement - allowances that literally nobody in the history of the planet has ever made for us.

Look, we know that there is a global anti-imperial struggle that links all our struggles, and we know the shared history we have with the likes of Cuba, Palestine, China, Russia etc. Nobody is going to make us stop collaborating with those whose partnerships have been mutually beneficial.

But nobody is going to convince me that I should not focus on creating the same moat and ringfence that everybody else enjoys. Everyone else on earth has nationalism as an intrinsic feature of their struggle without anyone making faces at them for it - why is it Africa that must dissolve itself into some formless global "working class" kumbaya fantasy that clearly nobody else subscribes to? Why must we be the test subjects for what nobody else is willing to do?

Why are black people always held to ideological standards that nobody else is held to? Why didn't Mao or Lenin organise their revolutions around this amorphous "global proletariat"? Why did they build strong nation states instead? Who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan? Was it the "capitalist ruling class" that developed the bomb and flew the plane to drop it over Hiroshima, or did it use the air force of the United States Military to do that? Why does it need the apparatus of a nation state to impose its will on the world?

Why is this "capitalist ruling class" never able to impose its will anywhere except where it controls the levers of the state? Why have the only successful attempts to oppose this "capitalist ruling class" taken place through a powerful, well organised nation state acting in opposition? Why has all the world's "working class solidarity" not been able to stop innocent Palestinians from being exploded into bits with their families, but it is the IRGC and the well organised, industrial nation-state of Iran that has been able to stop a similar fate from befalling Iranian people?

If nationalism is just a bourgeiosie idea to serve local elites, then why does the "capitalist ruling class" invest billions of dollars every year on secessionist movements and rebel armies aiming to break up nation-states? If African nationalism represents a less important goal than this hypothetical global socialist utopia, then why do the powerful states controlled by the "capitalist ruling class" work so hard to kill or silence every single notable person who pushes African nationalism?

Why did they kill Patrice Lumumba? Why was Kwame Nkrumah overthrown after several failed attempts on his life? Why have there been multiple French-backed attempts on Ibrahim Traore's life? Why did they ignore Gadaffi for decades but the minute he paid for Africa's first communications satellite and put down Libyan state money to fund African replacements for the IMF and World Bank, plus gold reserves to back a continental currency - the things needed to unite Africa into a sovereign, continental nation-state - they immediately rushed every asset they had into Libya and didn't stop until they had him on video being anally raped with a knife on CNN? Why did they take down African Stream?

The STATE is the biggest asset and weapon that can be wielded by any group of people. If you have a state that is organised enough, you can go from a small island in the Atlantic to an empire covering two-thirds of the world. If you have a state that is organised enough, you can resist that empire and its successor, and prevent your people from becoming imperial roadkill. The entire reason why Africa is in its current situation is precisely because it has NO STATE, and its ability to create one is being actively sabotaged on a daily and ongoing basis, including through funding ideological subversion to convince Africans that there is an alternative to developing serious state capacity, either through Frank Zanu/Magatte Wade-style capitalism-raises-the-dead nonsense, or through woolly-headed Supermarxist trash.

Anybody who tells me as an African that I should devote my energy to chasing some formless, utopian "global proletariat revolution" instead of building a pragmatic, Chinese/Russian/Iranian/North Korean-style political revolution that births an industrial African state with the power to feed and defend itself, is just as useless to me as Magatte Wade telling me that the solution to my problems is to sell part of my country to Peter Thiel and gratefully let the new sovereign Epstein Island douse me with its hot, steaming American capitalism.

I will focus on Pan-Africanism and sovereignism. Africa will always come first for me before any of your other -isms. Anyone who doesn't like it, that's too bad. I didn't write the rules and I'm simply doing the same thing everybody else on this planet does - looking out for me and my own first. I'm not interested in being percecived as morally 'better' than anybody. That 'better' shit is what got my ancestors colonised and that's why I'm a black West African who speaks English and answers to "David" today. We don't repeat our ancestors' mistakes here.

In the everlasting words of Fela Kuti, TEACHER DON'T TEACH ME NONSENSE.

They never ask why the migrants are coming.

Or rather, they ask it, and then they answer it wrong.

They come because of corruption in their home countries. Because of cultural dysfunction. Because of tribalism, poor governance, a failure to develop the institutions that produce stable societies.

They do not come because Britain ran Nigeria for sixty years, reorganized the economy around extraction, and built railways and ports primarily to move commodities outward.

They do not come because France still pegs the currency of fourteen African nations to its own, with a veto over monetary policy and a transition away from the system that keeps getting delayed, year after year.

They do not come because the IMF's structural adjustment programs in the 1980s and 1990s dismantled the public sectors of twenty countries in a single decade.

They do not come because Western agricultural subsidies make it impossible for Sahel farmers to compete in their own markets.

They come because of corruption.

Which is true, sometimes. The corruption is also real.

What they don't teach is who trained the corrupt officials, who banks their money, who sells them the weapons, who guarantees the loans that require the policies that produce the conditions that generate the corruption.

Those are Western cities on that list.

Those are Western banks.

But the migrants arrive without that context, carrying only their bodies and their desperation.

And the question gets asked again.

Why are they coming?

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Take any population on earth.

For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.

Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.

Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.

Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.

When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.

Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.

Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.

Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.

Put the results on a map.

Call the map a "nature documentary."

Tell yourself the scores show something biological.

Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.

Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.

You did not follow the evidence.

You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.

And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.

[Onuoha Lorenzo @unkle_renzoo]

This level of negligence is real.

These are human beings, forgotten in broad daylight and abandoned to rot in the hands of blood suckers.
