Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug.

You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form.

You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages.

You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution.

You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis.

You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from.

Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.

STOP THIS NONSENSE NARRATIVE.

I speak for Africa when I say THIS IS MISLEADING, and it misrepresents where the real crime and AI abuse is happening in the world today.

If you genuinely want to talk about cybercrime, or AI being used for crime, Africa should not be anywhere near the center of that picture.

Start with AI itself. The top countries in AI adoption globally are the UAE, Singapore, China, India, and the USA. Even South Africa, sits around 21 to 23% adoption, while the UAE is above 70%. We are not even in the top 3 users of this technology, so how does Africa become the poster child for AI-driven crime.

Add the infrastructure gap. Large parts of Africa still doesn't have reliable banking rails, card penetration, or digital payment systems mature enough to run large-scale, automated fraud at the level a "55% AI-enabled" statistic implies. You need infrastructure to commit crime at scale. Africa is still building that infrastructure for legitimate commerce.

Now read the actual INTERPOL report closely, because it undercuts its own headline.

South Africa alone accounts for 92% of every ransomware detection and 70% of every BEC detection cited in the report. Add Nigeria and two countries explain almost the entire "African" story. The other 50-plus nations on this continent barely register. That is not a continental crisis. That is two data points wearing a continent's name.

The 55% AI figure everyone is running with is not a measurement. It comes from a survey asking police officers if they had "occasionally" or "frequently" seen AI show up in a case. That is a perception poll of 36 self-selected countries, not a forensic count of anything.

The report itself admits 89% of respondents said underreporting is a serious problem, with no formal reporting systems and no forensic capacity in many countries. So the data is being driven by whoever has the infrastructure to detect and report, which is exactly the two countries carrying the whole statistic.

The entire assessment is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and built on data from Fortinet, Mastercard, Shadowserver, and other Western firms. Africa is the subject of this report. Africa did not write it.

Now look at scale. Total reported cybercrime losses across the whole continent in 2025: $484 million. INTERPOL's four biggest cross-border enforcement operations in Africa, spanning nearly 20 countries each, recovered a combined total of about $100 million.

Meanwhile the US alone reported $16.6 billion in cybercrime losses in 2024, and global ransomware payments hit $820 million in 2025 with a median payment of over $800,000 per incident, overwhelmingly from US, European, and Asian targets.

Africa's entire continent-wide total doesn't outpace what a single ransomware crew pulls from a handful of Western companies in one year.

Global cybercrime damage is projected at over $10 trillion for 2025 and 2026 combined. If cybercrime were a national economy, it would rank third in the world, behind only the US and China. Africa's entire reported total barely registers against that number.

So ask yourself why a 55% figure out of Africa's much smaller crime base gets a headline, while the actual centers of AI-driven fraud, the US, China, and the scam compounds of Southeast Asia generating close to $40 billion a year according to the UN, don't get the same "linked to over half" framing. That is not analysis. That is a choice of headline.

Then look at how INTERPOL illustrates its own stories. For Operation Sentinel, they used real, captioned photos of the actual arrests in Benin and Ghana. Actual African officers, actual African suspects, actual African raids. They had the real images and they used them.

But the article headlined "African authorities dismantle massive cybercrime and fraud networks, recover millions" runs a header image of handcuffed men whose appearance is not African.

If African authorities did the work, why illustrate Africa's own success story with a stock photo of people who aren't African? You don't reach for a generic photo when you have the real one, unless no one thought it mattered what image ran under Africa's name.

So ask who benefits from a headline that says "AI linked to more than half of cybercrime in Africa," built on a survey, funded by a foreign government office, driven by two countries' data, and illustrated with photos that don't even match the story.

International bodies need to stop using Africa as a scapegoat because it's convenient. It is easier to point at the continent with the least power to push back than to look honestly at where the money, the AI, and the crime actually are.

Every time this happens, it costs credibility. Not ours. Theirs.

STOP THIS.

Why Do Africans Seek Love From Those Who Don’t Love Us? – Captain Ibrahim Traoré

On July 16, 2026, Burkina Faso President Captain Ibrahim Traoré paid a visit to the city of Ouahigouya in the Yaadga region of his country, and delivered a powerful address to the Burkinabé people, and the people of Africa as a whole.

In this quote from the Yaadga address, Traoré calls out the strange tendency of Africans to constantly seek love and validation from the societies that have been trying to wipe them out for over 400 years.

The definition of a toxic relationship.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Just because you lobbied to have the man who issued the war crimes taken down doesn’t mean the war crimes disappear or your guilt is assuaged. You will not outrun justice. You will not lobby history. You are a murderous maniac Benjamin Netanyahu. You will always be remembered as such.

[Andrey X @the_andrey_x]

❗️ Israel is preparing a massive terror campaign in the West Bank.

Checkpoints around Nablus and Ramallah are shut down, movement is heavily restricted, IDF is moving more troops into the region, and settler-terrorists are gathering to launch pogroms.

[Jude Bela @realJudebela]

Shortly after 9/11, the United States launched a covert global campaign against terrorism that operated beyond the boundaries of law. This is an investigation revealing all the secret abductions and prison ran by the CIA and the African governments that collaborated.

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

Insane geographical facts about Nigeria that most people, especially Africans, aren’t aware of.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Excellent update: One of the terrorist settlers was shot dead after a Palestinian seized one of the weapons and shot him.

The EU as it funds the holocaust in Gaza must arm Palestinians to defend themselves against this terror.

The world's richest nation just "stole" $13 Billion from one of the world's poorest nation and we are acting like nothing happened. Sigh!

Unwise human being who consumes everything America presents

Wake up dullards. Wake up

[Onyeka ☭ @R_eq_uin]

Americans do not see the rest of the world as humans with their own dreams, hopes and desires.

To them, the victims of their atrocities only exist on TV.

They don't understand that we love our children the way they love theirs.

If any country bombed 180 teenage children in a primary school in DC, the entitle country would be baying for blood.

They might even send nukes.

But when they do it to other people's children of the wrong color or religion, it doesn't matter.

Suddenly it is justified because something something "Ayatollah" or something something "radical Muslims"

A throughly brainwashed people.

[Onyeka ☭ @R_eq_uin]

Africa will not be united by camaraderie.

Our traumatic history of colonial exploitation, makes it impossible to achieve the level of social and political unity required to make long-term changes on the continent.

South Africans have been brainwashed to hate Nigerians.

Ethiopia and Egypt simply do not get along

DR Congo and Rwanda routinely exchange bullets.

... And this is just between countries.

Within each country we have dozens of divisions. Yoruba vs Igbo vs Edo vs Hausa etc.

So any idea of some feel-good Pan African unity project is a pipe dream.

There is only one solution.

The only way this continent gets it act together is if one or two nations become strong and force the others to work together.

For example, a 2T GDP Nigeria armed to the teeth and with a shrewd foreign policy could carrot-and-stick the entire West Africa into working together.

Any other idea is delusion.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Stop whatever you're doing and listen carefully:

AFRICOM has announced the launch of a new psychological operation meant to influence Africans towards US interests by deploying a US army cyber unit to impersonate Africans online.

Its name "Drongo" comes from the African bird that mimics other animals so that it can steal their food.

That account trying to gaslight you on Twitter with "Traoré is a brutal dictator", "The worst democracy is better than the best dictatorship", and "Stop blaming white people and hold your leaders accountable" may just be an American soldier carrying out his mission.

Use your discernment on the internet!

[Onyeka ☭ @R_eq_uin]

You know what I find particularly insulting?

The moment Africans begin to exert some measure of sovereignty and initiative, the colonizers are genuinely shocked.

In their minds, we're little more than ooga-booga apes who just so happen to live atop a land full of natural resources that they need.

Any form or organization we make to advance our own interests is dismissed as "Russian influence" or "China seeking to undermine Euro-American interests"

They don't see us as people with our own dreams and hopes.

They believe we don't have the capacity to even think for ourselves.

This is why I grow somber when I realize the depth of our struggle. It will be a fight to the death on every front. Politically, socially, economically and militarily.

They will use every tool in their box of tricks and even invent new tools to ensure we never wake up.

China they can bitterly swallow and accept... because at least it's a 5000-year old civilization.

But Africa?

They will drop nukes on Nairobi, Lagos, or Pretoria rather than see us climb out of the hole they keep suppressing us into.

They will force us to fight our own kind-their puppets.

Because A sovereign, militarily strong and politically awakened Africa will shatter the last vestiges of their worldview.

They can never accept it so they will try to end us.

But we will end them first.

[𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓓𝓻𝓮𝔂 👑 @lorddrey]

Oga shut the fuck up. That you wear a tie and suit does not mean you know what you are saying. Shut the f up.

The problem of Nigeria and West Africa at large is multifaceted.

Bad governance is a contributory factor, but it is not the only factor. In fact, bad governance itself is an orchestration. It was bound to happen in Africa.

Africa's poverty is multifaceted. Colonialism played a role. But isn't it the only instrument.

1. Africa was set back through Colonialism. The wealth gap from that era matters a lot and gave the other race a huge advantage. Telling people to forget the past is understandable, but denying its impact is foolish.

However, some places that experienced this made it through despite the inequality in resource possession. We can cite Singapore, Japan, South Korea etc. I do not even envy those countries, they are slaves to the US and have zero sovereignty, but that is a conversation for another day.

2. After independence most African countries were only free on paper not practically. Imperialism became a thing. West African countries for instance Nigeria, were still ruled by the Queen even after independence. Those countries we love to reference had minimal Western interest and influence on them because they lacked the resources on African soil. The only Western influence on them later on was based on Security and spying on China.

As a matter of fact, francophone countries still pay the colonial levy to France.

3. After Imperialism, we metamorphosed into neo-colonialism. our present condition.

Countries like Nigeria have no independent government. Great Britain, and the US still influence our policies, system of government, economic model, and even Security.

So the average Nigerian thinks that when they vote the votes count and it elects their leaders. True and False.

Your votes don't really count in the way you believe. Your leaders are to some extent pre-ordained by Great Britain and the US. They decide at least 40% who controls your affairs and who they back to win elections.

This is why they send in independent observers to monitor your elections and approve the leader if it played out how they want by sending in congratulatory messages or not.

If it's someone they can't control they start a smear campaign against him and kick him out of office by labelling him a dictator or criminal and sponsor the opposition they can control. And even go as far as activating an uprising by funding opposition lines.

This is why Peter Obi did a campaign in Chatham to get the approval of the British elites and extend his international influence, appeal, and acceptance.

4. Bad leaders: The impact of bad leaders in Africa's underdevelopment is there, but very minimal and not exaggerated.

Why So?

(a) You don't elect your leaders, they are chosen.

(b) Your leaders are not allowed to express their managerial skills, policies are dictated to them or they can't get loans, can't win elections, and therefore can't modify hostile policies or they will lose access to aid.

(c) Your system of government is alien to you. It was not designed for your development in mind, it was designed with your control in mind and handed over.

This is why every nationalist African leader ends up being assassinated or designated a dictator or internally taken down through a local uprising funded by superpowers.

If you pay attention you can recognise the pattern from Kwame Nkruma to Thomas Sankara to Gaddafi.

African leaders have their flaws. But Africa inherently has no leaders because they are not allowed to lead themselves.

And there is no way any African leader can function and develop their nation if he plays by the rules handed to them.

This is why no matter who you elect, Democracy, Capitalism, and a Federal Republican system of government can never lead to progress in Nigeria or any part of West Africa.

It worked in Japan and South Korea, but that does not mean it can work in Africa. Nigeria is very diverse.
