Equatorial Guinea's Government Shuffle: Beyond Western Media Headline

If you stumbled across recent western media coverage of a cabinet reshuffle in Equatorial Guinea and you did not read past the headline, you would have come away with a completely different impression of what actually happened.

@Big_Mck explores the disingenuous semantic game that was deployed here, and why Africans must as a matter of survival, always treat western media with extreme caution and suspicion.

In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant

All children born in the penitentiary became property of the state

At 10 years they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white kids #BlackHistoryMonth

African Corrupt Leaders and The Hands Behind Them

Over the past couple of weeks, 2 former high level government officials from Nigeria and Ghana living in the UK and US respectively, who are both subjects of high profile corruption probes in their home countries, received legal guarantees of state protection against extradition to face trial at home. Once again, we are confronted with an issue that many in the Global North love to pretend does not exist.

Africa's "fantastically corrupt" governments are always cited as the reason behind the continent's state of underdevelopment. What is deliberately omitted by the Western loudmouths who recycle this talking point and infinitum is the foundational role that their own governments play in the acquisition, transfer and warehousing of stolen African state resources, as well as the shielding and protection offered to corrupt African government officials by the same Western governments that have a lot to say about "fighting corruption in Africa."

Bless them.

Nigeria's Cooking Gas Crisis & Why Sovereignty Matters

Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, which also happens to sit atop the largest natural gas reserves on the continent, is, for some reason, currently going through a serious gas price crisis.

In this report for the Spearhead, @Big_Mck explores that reason, what it means for the future of Nigeria, and what the country’s over 242 million citizens must do about it.

PROOF that the white structure in South Africa (through its media arm) is behind the anti-African migrants rhetoric.

This comes as the first batch of deported Nigerians are expected to arrive the country today.

Black South Africans are being used by these White settlers.
