If you live in Nairobi, Cape Town, Kigali, Accra or Abuja, this story will definitely resonate with you.

I survived a whole kidnapping attempt.

I lived under Anas's protection for months with armed police assigned on permanent patrol outside the house. If you're familiar with Ghana, you know how unusual it is to see police patrolling with machine guns in public.

When I eventually had to go hide in Kenya for a while in 2023, I was switching short lets every week because I was a whole fugitive. I wrote a 590-page book about this. That book was on @Rovingheights's 2024 bestsellers list.

And though all this, after selling 30% of West Africa Weekly for $30,000, I used some of that money to fund a federal case in the US for the specific purpose of "holding my government accountable" - the exact same federal case that is still the closest thing that exists to an actual challenge to your president's power in Nigeria.

I physically served papers to the US Department of Justice and lit myself on fire to "hold leadership accountable" so what the fuck are these people talking about? People who have never even sent a written petition to their local council chairman are attacking someone who has taken a sitting president plus the FBI, DOJ, CIA, IRS, DEA and State Department to court for "not holding leaders accountable"?

Is everybody in Nigeria high on crack cocaine?

If you do not think you should have to change for someone, please, stay alone. Love is for the brave and the reverent - for the devoted and the worshipful - and you in your desire to retain every semblance of convenience and self-control are perfectly ill-suited to the endeavour.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Once again for those at the back:

Your African name and language are cultural artefacts that are thousands of years old. They are not yours to deliberately bend or distort to suit your laziness and lack of self-esteem.

If the "Ghanaian" in "Dutch-Ghanaian" (whatever the fuck that even means) is so difficult that even to learn how to pronounce a single word is too much work for you, then drop it and just be Dutch in peace! Nobody will quarrel with you!

If being African is too much hard work, then please embrace your other identity with your full chest and stop using your African identity as some sort of rare Pokemon brand. Embrace your Dutchness. If possible change your name to Ryan de Boer. Since that's apparently much easier to pronounce than "Twi".

Fuck off and quit using Africa as some sort of exotic costume!

Many Africans undermine African democracy because to them, once it doesn't correspond to that which a senator from Washington, a civil servant from Paris, and a 'human rights advocate' from Geneva has preached, it's wrong and immoral.

These people do not know that the perception of the world is subjective and heavily dependent on who the observer is, their location, their customs, and their cultural geography. No political principle or concept is the same everywhere, people determine and choose which one aligns with them and serves them best.

The argument has been the same with capitalism and socialism. The African has decided to see these philosophies not as a people on a completely different part of the world but from the interpretation of the Russians, Chinese, or Americans, who in turn decipher them based on their interests and more importantly, their identity and desire to survive. Thus, self-awareness comes first.

Eritrea's choice to be 'isolated' ain't because the leadership doesn't see the need for communication, interaction, economic cooperation, or even military collaboration. It's a calculated strategy to preserve identity in a world where history is rewritten right in the eyes of oppressed people. It's its own way of refusing to go culturally and politically extinct while still being in existence but serving no interest of the natives. It's a choice made by men who understood who they are first, their reality, their aggressor, and who could be a potential ally in an anarchic global order.

Self-awareness isn't discussed in Africa enough to make other African countries as politically and psychologically alert as the Eritrea. It's snubbed by parents at home, misconstrued by teachers and tutors in elementary schools and universities, despised by political and economic elites, and worse, demonized by Africans evangelists and proselytizers. There's no sovereign Africa if there's no African that is proud of itself. Africa's tragedies should teach Africans better.

You will spend your whole life being preached to by people who know less than you acting like they know better. They preach not because they have an excess of great insights to share, but because the act of falsely correcting others is ego stabilising for them. They're mosquitos.
