@FrenchEmbassyZA You lots are thieves that wouldn't take your loss in peace but still looking for a way to constantly derail the progress of a sovereign country. Dearth to the imperialist
@AsstSecStateAF If they commend your country like this you are utmost doing something right. A right thing that favors the Americans while it completely destroys your country's growth and development.
A predatory a state!
Now guess who's country and president they've dealt with with no resistance whatsoever. The most useful, enabling and Western aligned president that ever existed.
There are a lot of propagandas against Iran being into embedded into Hollywood.
You'd rarely watch a movie now that doesn't majorly focus on Iran while portraying them as a terrorist state that the Untied States is trying to contain.
Iran is their next terror psy-op mission.
Inasmuch as some of you have sworn a lifetime blood covenant with being ignorant and hostile towards knowledge, we will not stop trying to crowbar your heads open and force in that knowledge you hate.
It might be a doomed endeavour, but we will keep trying nonetheless.
the people have just been dealing with demons that needs to be removed from this earth. The Revolution should be championed by these kind of people. He got the money, the influence and hopefully pan Africanist mindset.
I think governor Alex Otti came into power just to prove to himself that governing isn't really rocket science. He must have witnessed every past administration and said, surely it shouldn't be hard to provide good governance to your people. Got there, did the job and realize....
Exactly my point. People keep saying Trump is the worst American president to ever govern the state both in national and international policies. Unfortunately he isn't, he is just the most outspoken of the lots. The United States has always been a predatory state, an evil empire.
@mindaffairss Y'all are either missing the point on purpose or you lots are just dimwits. You all are failing to understand that it is never as shallow as it seems. Trying to convince you with everything happening around "your democracy" currently is being associate dimwit.
So shalom!
In 1976, Nigerian journalist Sam Ogun confessed to DRUM that he had spent nearly 10 years spying on Nigeria for the CIA. He also warned that many other Nigerians were being recruited to infiltrate different sectors of the country.
He told the magazine, "The CIA has so many arms or branches โ trade union organisations, educational institutions, cultural organisations. The CIA is the father and through these organisations which are sent to Africa to help developing countries. The agents or officers of these organisations use their organisations as covers to spy for the CIA."
Ogun said Nigerians could be recruited without knowing it, benefiting directly or indirectly from development programmes run by organisations he claimed were linked to foreign intelligence networks.
"You don't apply to be an agent or spy. You are spotted, trailed, and an assessment is made of you without your knowing," he said.
His own career as a spy began in the early 1960s, when he worked as an "information officer" for the American Motion Picture Export Company. An American film distributor known as Jack paid him to write reviews of foreign films for local newspapers, which were then forwarded to New York. Ogun said that was how he was first placed on a payroll.
He later confessed to spying on foreign diplomats, trade unionists, civil servants, students and fellow journalists. He said he was trained to use a camera and a pocket-sized tape recorder designed for espionage.
Ogun eventually retired from spying and explained his decision to confess: "I found out by myself the evil the CIA had been doing to Africa."
With America
It's never just "Entertainment" with these lots
They Lie, Lie and Lie and kill and destroy then use media and movies to act like the victim
Another American Propaganda

All thier evil atrocities are always in-between the lines, once you recognize the Evil American empire for what it is, you see thier movies differently, it's not just entertainment, it's programing, mind control and propaganda
Music shapes entire generations, and they don't even have to be aware while it's happening.
It's like Mohbad (Imole) said: "Music no need permission to enter your spirit. Anyhow anywhere you must to feel it."
Look at the impact of Olu Maintainโs "Yahooze" in 2007. It served as a massive cultural catalyst for the "Yahoo-Yahoo" epidemic we see today.
If a single song can shift the youth's moral ideology so drastically, imagine the geopolitical threat of a global icon doing the exact opposite.
That was Bob Marley. His reggae was the psychological spine of anti-colonial revolutions worldwide.
He sang "Rasta don't work for no CIA" because he knew his art directly threatened Western hegemony (aka Babylon ๐คฃ๐คฃ)โ which is precisely why knowledgeable insiders link the CIA to his 1976 assassination attempt.
Look at Fela Kuti. His Afrobeat was an outright declaration of war against neo-colonial puppets. To silence him, the local military government subjected him to over 200 arrests, burned his Kalakuta Republic to the ground, and murdered his mother. If a Nigerian regime used that level of raw military terrorism just to contain one man in Lagos, how hard do you think the global imperial apparatus will clamp down when an artist stands in the way of their entire global agenda?
This brings us to the ultimate end game: Geopolitics and demographic management.
By 2050, Africa will hold the fastest-growing youth population on earth. Nearly 1 out of every 4 people in the world will be African, and 1 out of 6 African will be Nigerian, with 1 out of every 25 random human on earth being Nigerian.
In the cold calculus of Western intelligence, a hyper-conscious, politically literate African youth population is an existential risk to Western hegemony and resource control.
More importantly, you must know that the mortal fear of the West is that if they fell out of power, others would do to them what they've done around the world for centuries.
So they figure that if a demographic giant wakes up to the frequency of Felas and Marleys, they will become completely ungovernable.
So how do you control a population that massive without deploying armies? You do it through the algorithm. You fund and amplify a modern, sanitized music industry that rewards escapism, hyper-individualism, and material wealth over consciousness.
By filtering out the revolutionary spark, the global imperial apparatus achieves ultimate containment and neutralization. They don't need to assassinate the prophets anymore ("how long shall they kill our prophets...?"); they just use music and entertainment to turn a potential revolutionary generation into completely redolent, bio-pliable 'fauna'.
This is how history gets incrementally rewritten because nobody pushes back on narratives like this.
In reality, no generation in Nigeria ever actually "listened" to Fela. At NO point was he ever embraced by Nigeria's western-educated classes. He was always an outsider and a rebel that they treated with suspicion or outright hostility. Even the wealthy or educated who liked him had to literally hide to do so. His music was (and to the best of my knowledge still is!) banned from radio nationwide, and it eventually got to the point where he made less money in Nigeria - his primary audience - than outside it.
I grew up on a street where a few houses away was Air Vice Marshall Funsho Martins, across the street was Governor Ita Ikpeme, around the corner was Fidelity Bank MD Reginald Ihejiahi, and so on. These were the people I would often overhear having conversations with my dad, and to them, Fela was an "amugbo boy" (weed smoking loser) and community penis who used the guise of African pride to cover for his lack of personal discipline. They had no respect for what he stood for, and I personally was not allowed to listen to Fela's music while I lived under my parents' roof.
Fela was never loved by the people who were politically aware or active in Nigeria. The only people who wholeheartedly embraced Fela were the poorest and most powerless. And even at that, they lacked the education to fully understand his message beyond simple complaint and criticism of the Nigerian government. All his words about colonialism and imperialism flew completely over their heads. It was like explaining the International Space Station to someone who has never seen an internal combustion engine before.
I hate the narrative that Nigeria ever truly embraced Fela or his message because that is a laundering device for Nigerians to avoid asking themselves what on earth was so important about that message that a military government invaded his house, raped his wives and killed his mom, while the global "human rights" yappers provided cover for that government and never sanctioned them for it.
Saying that there was a generation that "listened to Fela" is an easy and disingenuous way of dismissing Fela's work and refusing to examine what made it so important that we're still talking about him nearly 3 decades after he died.
The whole movie is just full throttle propaganda designed to label Iran ๐ฎ๐ท principally as an antagonist amongst other countries such as China and Russia. This time Iran๐ฎ๐ท being the recent focal point of global terrorism.
