🇳🇬🇺🇸 As the Nigerian elections draw closer, this essay examines how an increasing alignment between Nigerian pastors, zionism, and American far right politicians, might influence the fate of the country toward imperialism

[OkayAfrica @OkayAfrica]

In recent times, as right-wing political leaders increasingly seek community with Nigerian pastors, it appears that the direction from which this salvation is sought is becoming less in the name of a Heavenly Father, and more an American one; encouraging not only a new wave of far right politics, but also a new wave of Zionism.

Behind Fela Kuti was Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, a fearless activist who fought for women’s rights and challenged injustice long before her son became a music legend.

Her story deserves to be remembered too. ✊🏾❤️
