How Foreign Religions Maintain Africa's Colonial Status Quo
The Africa of today is very different from the Africa of 3,000 years ago. It is an Africa fragmented by alien belief systems which have displaced or corrupted its own indigenous truths. The societies that brought these alien belief systems to Africa were not interested in altruism, but in expansion.
They did not wish to “civilize” Africa, but to plunder the wealth of its already existing civilizations, and the institutions they left behind continue to keep Africans subservient to this day. Conditioned from birth to view other people’s ancestors as inherently superior to their own, Africans are constantly looking outside of themselves for hope and validation. This deep-seated self-hatred affects every aspect of their lives… including what they demand of their own leaders.
But it is neither in Arabia nor in Europe where the Great Pyramid of Giza stands. Ditto the first iron smelting furnaces, or the world’s oldest known astronomical calendar.
These are all in Africa.
And maybe the reason why some African leaders refuse to awaken their people to this truth and use the boundless wealth of their continent to uplift it… is because their loyalties lie elsewhere.
Some are mocking Diddy and some are learning lessons from his tragedy;Every man is imperfect and blind to what tommorow holds in the journey of his life. #DiddyCombs
@firstladyship It was possible because the Muslims in that country send their children to school to at least get basic education... while in Nigeria, the only thing the Muslim Gen Zs in the North understands is religious intolerance.

The Malian government is reconstructing the road between the capital Bamako and Kayes, near the Senegalese and Mauritanian border.
JNIM terrorists stage an attack on the construction site without any confirmed casualties, but they make sure to destroy the construction equipment. They did not kill anybody, but they carefully destroyed all the road construction equipment onsite.
So is this merely "Islamic terrorism" by a group of crazy muslim fanatics who want a caliphate, or is this actually economic terrorism that aims to stop an economically beneficial road linking the economies of 3 West African countries from getting built so that they can all remain in poverty?
And if it is the latter, who has an interest in keeping West Africa poor? If West Africa doesn't have connecting infrastructure and strong intra-regional trade, with only infrastructure linking mines to ports present (and somehow always mysteriously untouched by "Islamic terrorists"), who benefits?
You people will use your brains eventually.
WHO WERE THE CIVILIZED AND WHO WERE THE SAVAGES?
They said they came to civilise. But what they brought was nothing but savagery.
From Haiti to Australia to the Pacific Islands, this video unpacks the brutal truth behind Europe’s so-called ‘civilising mission.’
The Taíno and Arawak peoples of Haiti, once thriving communities with deep spiritual and agricultural systems, were nearly wiped out within decades of Columbus’s arrival. They were enslaved, mutilated, and hunted like animals all in the name of gold and empire.
In Australia, British colonisers declared the land ‘Terra Nullius’ - or nobody’s land - while thousands of Aboriginal people were massacred in cold blood. In Queensland, it’s thought over 24,000 Indigenous lives were taken by government-sanctioned forces. This was not law and order. This was ethnic cleansing, dressed in European uniforms.
Across the Pacific, the lie of civilisation took the form of ‘Blackbirding’ - kidnapping tens of thousands from Melanesia and forcing them into backbreaking labour on plantations. Meanwhile, imported diseases erased entire communities.
This is not ancient history. The scars are still fresh. The descendants of these communities are still here, still fighting, still remembering. Because colonisation was never about civilisation, it was about extraction, domination and the silencing of Indigenous voices.
This video is not just history. It’s resistance. It’s about reclaiming the narrative from Columbus and Cook and all the myths they stood on. It’s about asking, in the face of genocide and greed: Who were the real savages?
Britian is pouring millions into a lithium processing plant despite having zero lithium reserves of its own.
This isn’t innovation. It’s anticipation.
They’re betting that somewhere in Africa, a government will hand over its lithium for pennies just like in the old colonial days
3 decades after a bitter diplomatic split, the UK is wooing Zimbabwe - for reasons that are exactly as predatory as you would expect from 'Perfidious Albion.'
The Global South is presented with a major decision to make. One with era-defining implications.
@jenslaw_@NigeriaStories They would have propagandised us into hating him. But thank God for the internet - we no longer wait for the BBC and co to tell us what's happening around us. Instead, we read and watch uncensored reportage from ordinary citizens like you and I.
@jenslaw_@NigeriaStories They've lost the media battle already. They've lost it because we now hv the internet which gives us access 2 pure and uncensored information. But for the internet, d mainstream media would have succeeded in painting anti-colonial revolutionaries like Ibrahim Traore into demons.
