African Proverb Of The Week

Africa has not been in control of its own affairs for a very long time. Today, most of the continent’s policies are dictated, and nearly all its systems controlled, by the West – the very same West which has plundered the continent for 500 years.

This East African proverb reminds us that those who do not and have never belonged in Africa have no business dictating African affairs, and if Africa is ever to rise, it must reclaim its destiny from these greedy pigs.

David Hundeyin: Global Powers Did Not Become Wealthy Through "Democracy"

Are intellectual dishonesty and ideological duplicity the only things that Africa should expect from any Western incursions into its information spaces?

Speaking during a public panel session on News Central Television on Thursday 23 July, 2026, Nigerian investigative journalist and founder of The Spearhead, David Hundeyin made the point that not only do western powers fund the intellectual misdirection of Africa's "educated" classes via their funded civil society extensions, but they also do not even acknowledge that the source of their modern wealth - colonialism and neocolonialism - had nothing to do with internal "democracy", and everything to do with the extractive dictatorship they have imposed across Africa and the Global South.

Joshua Maponga: Stop Parroting Other People's Ideologies!

Why are so many educated Africans unable to think outside the western-imposed paradigm of "democracy" concerning what style of governance would work best for their countries?

In this clip, Zimbabwean author and philosopher Joshua Maponga has a go at this class of Africans for their habit of repeating western ideas and narratives with no attempt to come up with an original thought of their own.

One thing that deeply worries me about Nigeria is this:

Some dreams are almost impossible to achieve if you're born, raised, and educated here.

Want to become an astronaut? There is virtually no pathway.

Want to become a world-class professional footballer? For most talented children, the route is far harder than it should be because the development ecosystem is weak.

And there are many other careers where your biggest obstacle isn't your talent, it's your geography.

This is why some Nigerians have to leave the country, not because they hate Nigeria, but because that's the only way to fully pursue their dreams.

That should concern all of us.

A child's future should be determined by their ability and hard work, not by the accident of where they were born.

Nigeria has no shortage of talent.

What we're missing is a system that allows talent to become greatness.

Onyedikachi Egejurum got a Gold.

He is the best in Mathematics in the world Primary Category.

This is the beginning of greatness for the country.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

More good news.

Don Anele Munachimso also won gold in Science.

He is the best in world science.

Remember, he is the best in IGCSE Chemistry in Nigeria.

The investment is worth it.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

The wait is over.

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.

We are the best in the world!

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.

Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.

It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.

Shahid Bolsen On Who Shook The Jar In South Africa

It is easy to get riled up by the simple and pervasive narratives surrounding ongoing anti-African violence in South Africa, but Shahid Bolsen reminds us that as always, it is better to avoid the face-value narrative and ask some deeper, more fundamental questions so as to arrive at an understanding of who is ultimately responsible for this and what their agenda is.

Tanzania Is Our Strait Of Hormuz - Dr Maponga to Tanzanian Journalists

At the screening of 'What Happened on October 29?', Dr. Maponga had a direct message for Tanzanian journalists: Stand with the truth.

African Journalism cannot afford to be lazy or driven by external narratives. If claims are being made about Tanzania, Tanzanian journalists must be the ones asking the hardest questions, verifying the facts, and telling the world what is really happening on the ground.

Dr. Maponga challenged journalists to look beyond party politics and understand Tanzania’s strategic place in regional and global power struggles. Tanzania sits at the center of trade routes, ports, railways, minerals, and competing global interests.

So when violence, instability, and misinformation spread, journalists must ask: who benefits? Who pays the price? And whose future is being destroyed?

Exposed: How the CIA Manufactured Iran’s Protest “Massacre” Narrative

Sri Lankan journalist Nury Vittachi exposes how the so-called Iran protest “massacre” narrative was not organic, but carefully built through a network of Western-backed groups, media platforms and CIA-linked influence channels. What was presented to the world as fact, was part of a coordinated information operation.

The bigger lesson here is that propaganda is often packaged as objective reporting, repeated across mainstream media platforms, and pushed to audiences as credible news. African audiences need to pay attention to that.

We have to question the information being fed to us, ask who is behind it, whose interests it serves, and what political agenda may be shaping the story. Because when propaganda is dressed up as credible journalism, it can be used to mislead the public, weaken independent thinking, undermine governments, and reinforce imperial power under the cover of news.

What Africa Can Learn from Iran's STEM-Focused Leadership Structure.

The kind of education a country prioritises shapes the kind of leadership it produces. Looking at Iran’s negotiating team compared with that of the United States, it is clear why some nations are harder to outmanoeuvre. Serious investment in technical knowledge, political training, and nation-building matters.

It is also a lesson for Africa. If the continent wants to build, compete, and defend its interests, it cannot keep relying on educational systems designed around foreign priorities. We need systems that prepare people with the practical skills, discipline, and knowledge required to move African nations forward.

Exposing The US Propaganda Campaign Against China-Africa Relations

For decades, the United States has kept a jealous eye on Africa’s growing relationship with China.

By 2018, just 5 years after China announced its Belt and Road Initiative – a win-win infrastructural investment program aimed at empowering the Global South – Washington was already funneling tax dollars into its local and international media machines to push the narrative that China’s growing influence in Africa represents a “new colonialism”.

And as always with the U.S. and its Western partners in crime, every accusation is a confession.

It is not China that terrorized Africa and sold its people as commodities for 400 years. It is not China that assassinated Africa’s greatest modern leaders, fueled conflicts across the continent, and sabotaged its economies with austerity policies signed off on by local puppets. It is not China that continues to terrorise and plunder Africa to this day.

China, having risen from its own colonial abyss in the 20th century, is extending a strategic hand to those who have yet to rise.

And Africa has a decision to make.

King Leopold's 1883 Letter to Belgian Christian Missionaries, Still Relevant Centuries Later

The period of European imperial presence in Africa is known by African historians as the Maafa – a Kiswahili word which means “Great Disaster”. It is so called because of the terror and destruction that defined this period. Africa’s indigenous development was interrupted, its monuments vandalized, its treasures looted, its knowledge systems suppressed and its history distorted by predators who had no interest in “civilizing” anyone.

Predators like King Leopold II of Belgium, who sent Christian missionaries to strip the Congo of its cultural identity, while perpetrating a reign of terror that led to the deaths of at least 10 million Africans.

The European missionaries gave a face, complexion and political agenda to the source of the universe to justify the parasitism of their culture. But African cultures long knew this Source as infinite, boundless and indistinguishable from reality. They believed the Creator was not man, but the essence behind everything. And they had no single image because by definition, the Infinite could not be bound by one image. The Infinite was Ama, and it was Amadioha, and it was Ngai, Unkulunkulu, Chi Ukwu, Temearau and Nzambi Mpungu.

That deep, indigenous wisdom – the same wisdom that gave enslaved Africans in 18th-century Haiti the power to lead a revolt against their oppressors and establish the first independent black republic in 1804 – threatened the colonial enterprise more than anything.

It still does.

In my debut piece for @Spearhead_Af, I join @mayordeah_, @okorieuche_ and @Big_Mck to examine why the recent $12m "investment" into Nigerian deftech startup Terra Industries by Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale is very bad news for Africa.
