Ghana’s rapper Sarkodie has issued a fresh track called “Ibrahim Traoré,” which includes a contribution from Worlasi.

This song with a political message pays tribute to the head of Burkina Faso and advances the ideas of continental togetherness, independence, the right of peoples to decide their own path, and solidarity among Africans, while calling on the continent’s people to back what it presents as a fresh political course in the Sahel region.

@AfricanHub_ Repatriation and Nationality Warnings: The Burkinabè administration announced plans to recall these students. Traoré warned that those who refuse to return and register under official workforce development guidelines could face consequences regarding their Burkinabè citizenship.

@AfricanHub_ Please resist to comment without proper context. You are Fueling the wrong narrative and exposing yourselves.

Here’s the gist of what happened:

[Sello Maripane @SelloSaka]

@AfricanHub_ He criticized the lack of enrollment in technical, practical, or STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), noting that Burkina Faso urgently needs builders, engineers, and scientists rather than religious legal scholars to advance its development.

[Sello Maripane @SelloSaka]

@AfricanHub_ Criticism of Foreign Studies: Traoré openly questioned a census showing roughly 800 to 1,000 Burkinabè students studying Islamic jurisprudence (Sharia) in Saudi Arabia on undocumented programs.
Shift to Development:

@AfricanHub_ Rejection of Sharia: Despite being a practicing Muslim himself, Traoré emphasized that every citizen has the freedom to choose their faith and that religious law will not dictate national governance.

Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel: 🗣️ “I will never forget what happened after the U-20 World Cup final against Argentina. Messi won the Golden Ball, and I won the Silver Ball, but I felt I deserved the Golden Ball. I approached him and said in Spanish, 'You stole the Golden Ball from me. I was better.'

Messi, with his characteristic humility, smiled and replied, 'It wasn’t my decision; it was the committee’s. But what you’ve done for your country is incredible.' Later, when we crossed paths near the locker rooms, he offered to swap awards: 'If you want, take my Golden Ball and give me the Silver.' I laughed and said, 'I can’t; you deserve it. I was just frustrated. Thank you for being so kind.'

Years later, we met again at the 2018 World Cup. Messi greeted me, 'Hello, golden boy. I still have the photo from the awards ceremony.' That’s when I told him, 'Today I know you truly deserved that award. You are the best, Leo."
