Here is a short 🧵 on My genesis collection “MAKTUB”

Maktub is an Arabic word that means “It is written”. I came across it in Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” and it perfectly encapsulates the collection.

The reason they make these imperial statements on live TV and then algorithmically amplify them on social media platforms is simply because they want you to channel your aggression and hate toward the wrong people.

In the past, it would technically be correct to blame Britain, France, or the Portuguese for the extraction of African resources. Today, however, this line of reasoning is false. Modern imperialism has evolved so much that even the presidents of France or America are merely foot soldiers in the global financial complex and the billionaire-led digital aristocracy.

To my African brothers and sisters fighting this imperial subjugation and the extraction of our continent, please understand that Macron, Zelensky, or Trump are not the ones in charge of things. The energy you are wasting on these people should be channeled into the decolonization of African minds.

The emerging modern empire needs our cobalt to power EV batteries, lithium for smartphone storage, tantalum for high-performance electronics, uranium for nuclear reactors, and gold to back their global financial hedges. These people will not have a change of heart because of insignificant protests and hashtags on social media. It is only when we properly educate our people and push toward the greater African Revolution that we will be truly free from the pangs of their imperialism.
