“We cannot allow Africa to unite, control its own resources or develop”
Kwame Nkrumah challenged this, and exposed how imperialism continued after independence, and he was violently overthrown by a coup sponsored by the usual suspects.
Today, some misguided Africans are asking, “why should we continue to blame the colonizers (that never left)?”
🎥 BAKASSI: The Truth They Never Told You? 🇳🇬⚔️
In this rare interview, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to General Sani Abacha, shares his account of what happened behind the scenes during the Bakassi Peninsula crisis.
From intelligence reports to military strategy and political decisions, he offers a firsthand perspective from someone who was at the centre of power during that period.
Watch the video and judge for yourself.
Did Nigeria make the right decisions over Bakassi, or could history have turned out differently? 👇
In the 1960s, we were told that overpopulation was an imminent risk, that we would soon run out of food globally.
Today, the problem is underpopulation, in many parts of the World.
Then shortly after, we were told we would run out of fossil fuels. This reached a crescendo in the 1980s.
Today, America is awash in shale petroleum, and there are other shale deposits in places like Argentina, that have barely been touched.
We will run out of fossils fuels one day, but not in the near future. As Sheikh Zaki Yamani said, "the Stone Age did not end for lack of stones".
We were told, from the 1980s by the West, that "once we adopt liberal market economics and democracy - voila! like magic we would become as prosperous as the West".
There's nothing about magical about "democracy", and "democracy" does not lead to "economic prosperity".
If you doubt me, take a trip round Africa - and in any case, the same West that preached the virtues of "free markets" - is now wholesale adopting "industrial policy".
There were other fictions like, "the US Navy protects the global commons" - from who, exactly? A few months into 2026, we discovered that this isn't really true.
If the US Navy cannot really do much when a medium power like Iran decides to flex its muscles, what exactly can it do when big dogs like China decide to make life difficult for them?
We are learning it is less of "the US Navy protecting the global commons" - and more of other powers deciding to play ball.
There were other convenient fictions - about US politicians, business people and civil servants being "uniquely principled";
This is nonsense, all of it.
The defining characteristic of the US Congress, is a lack of spine. US tech billionaires are still lining up to genuflect before Trump - in a way that shames even the worst sycophants, who sing the praises of corrupt Nigerian politicians;
And how many US diplomats have resigned in the face of Trump's blatantly racist foreign policies? Very few, you can count them on your fingers - the US Embassy at Abuja now sounds like a MAGA outpost. I don't blame them, they have families and pensions to protect.
There were other fantasies like "a free press is the fourth estate of governance". As far as Nigeria/Africa is concerned, a "free press", like the "tooth fairy" - is childish fantasy.
Somebody has to pay the journalists - and in Nigeria/Africa it boils down to either corrupt Nigerian politicians/politically connected people - or some foreign agency like the CIA/Pentagon.
Hopefully, we should emerge from this learning experience with more wisdom - but I am not banking on it, given what I know about Nigerians.
In my regime, tribalistic ooga booga apes like you will be sent to a deep jungle village on the Cameroonian border.
... A place that doesn't appear on any map.
Your left ankle will be hancfuffed to an Igbo tribalist. And your right ankle to a Hausa tribalist.
If you work together, you all survive.
If you do not, well, people dissappear all the time for many odd reasons.
Serious countries are building futuristic weapons and researching new energy sources.
While fools like you are busy claiming non existent superiority over people you share 99.99% of genetic material with, and have lived with for more than half a milennia.
It's not even like where you live is akin to Shenzhen or Riyadh.
You're both impoverished negroes fighting each other for the debris from scraps while people who see you at the same level as wildlife pillage your resources.
I simply cannot stand stupid people.
I have done videos on tools used for onchain analysis and I even went live on tiktok one time trying to teach the beginners level.
Anyways, i use

Not every time “and you?” 😡
Sometimes ask your talking stage questions that will make both of you forget you met on the internet 😔
Ask things like:
1. What’s your relationship with God or your mum like?
2. How was your day… like really?
3. What’s something small that instantly makes your day better?
5. What’s your most unnecessary talent? 😭
6. What’s something you want for yourself this year?
7. What’s something you’ve learned about yourself recently?
8. What do you appreciate more now than you did a few years ago?
9. What’s your love language?
10. What genuinely makes you happy?
11. What helps you feel emotionally safe around someone?
12. Have you ever met someone and the conversation just felt easy?
13. What’s your idea of a peaceful life?
14. What’s one thing you wish people understood better about you?
15. Do you think timing matters as much as connection?
15. What kind of conversations do you enjoy the most?
17. What’s something you’re still trying to heal from?
18. What’s one thing you wish people asked you more often?
19. What’s a random memory you’ll never forget?
20. What’s something that scares you about relationships?
21. What’s something you’ll never tolerate again?
22. Are you heal?
23. Are you still seeking closure from your ex?

If I became president of Nigeria tomorrow, I wouldn't go around screaming about the dictatorship of the proletariat and printing agbada with hammer and sickle design.
Why?
Well besides it being THE fastest way to get sanctioned and bombed to oblivion by the Epstein regime before you have time to consolidate,
You have to understand that most Nigerians DO NOT hate the compradors.
They ASPIRE to be like them.
They will not attack Elumelu for you.
They won't lift a finger against Dangote.
Fuck, they'd rather collect 20k from Cubana chief priest rather than join your communist rally.
We have ZERO class consciousness and the kilometer-deep ethnic and religious divisions make it delusional to try and engineer one.
One sermon from Adeboye or even Odumeje branding your communist movement a movement from Satan and you're finished.
One impassioned speech from Sultan of Sokoto and his adherents will stone you in the market.
So I wouldn't bother ramming my head against that wall.
Instead, I'd borrow a leaf from Lenin's book.
He promised peace, land and bread.
I will promise an uncompromising war against corruption, insecurity and poverty.
These are ideas that every Nigerian regardless of tribe or ethnicity instinctively understands.
On corruption, I wouldn't go on NTA and wax lyrical about the need for class consciousness, and to rise up against the rich and powerful.
I'd simply fill EFCC with patriots and use it to persecute the same oligarchs bleeding Nigeria dry.
" Presidency recovers 100B Naira NNPC loot, commences bulidng of 10,000 hospitals" is a headline no pastor can mobilize against.
I'd unshackle the hands of our security architecture and use them to crush terrorists.
I'd hold meaningless meetings with US officials and give meaningless speeches about cooperation and "robust US-Nigeria relations"
I'd do my best to build a security framework with China and Russia, but you have to understand that these guys can only support us materially. They won't put boots on the ground or risk a direct confrontation with another nuclear power.
In the interview they asked her current salary.
She told them the truth. N200,000.
The offer came back at N240,000. A 20 percent raise.
She felt she had won. She had not. The role was budgeted for N400,000.
By naming her old salary, she anchored the whole conversation to her past instead of the value of the job.
The next person who interviewed refused to answer that question.
He said, "I am focused on the value of this role. What range is budgeted for it?" He got N380,000.
Never volunteer your current salary first. It quietly caps your future to your past.
Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

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.
You don’t need to be a tech bro to buy a good laptop.👇
Most sellers will throw around big grammar like:
Core i7, 13th Gen, SSD, NVMe, GPU, VRAM…
and confuse you into overspending.
Simple breakdown:
• Core i3 / i5 / i7 = Laptop power level
i3 = basic use
i5 = best for most people
i7 = heavy work like editing/gaming
But here’s the real trick…
Generation matters more than i3/i5/i7.
A 13th Gen i5 can be faster than an old 7th Gen i7.
Read that again.
That “cheap Core i7 laptop” some sellers hype?
It may actually be old, slow, and a bad deal.
Then storage:
• HDD = very slow
• SSD = fast
• NVMe SSD = lightning fast
Rule of thumb:
Never buy a laptop with HDD in 2026 unless you enjoy suffering.
Bonus Windows hacks many people don’t know:
• Win + V → See everything you copied today
• Win + Ctrl + L → Live captions for videos/audio
• powercfg /batteryreport → Check real battery health
Bottom line:
Stop buying laptops because of sweet mouth marketing.
A modern Core i5 + recent generation + NVMe SSD will serve most people better than an ancient “Core i7.”
Laptop sellers won’t tell you this.
Now you know😁
This is why when faced with Sankara's dilemma of 'water for all or champagne for a few', smart nations always choose water for all.
Because when everyone has a solid baseline, the elite can truly thrive and become exceptional. Their "champagne" can be meaningful.
But when most people are dirt poor, the elite become stupid, mediocre bastards who cannot pave their own roads, organise their own garbage collection, and prevent their own Ikoyi from regular flooding, constant foul odour, and mosquito infestation.
Charterhouse my ass.
