And I'm saying your paycheck depends on you parroting exactly what you just did.

If you said absolutely anything other than that, you'd be on the job market by close of business today.

I know Nairobi is tough and NGOs pay USD equivalent so I don't begrudge you dancing for your coins. Do your job, make your money and take care of your family. If you don't, who will?

However it's my job to inform the African public that your job is to run narrative interference on behalf of rich white men who don't want Africa using its own resources.

I don't hate you. I don't even feel strongly enough about you to hate you. My target is the rich white man who is ultimately signing your paycheck. He is my enemy, not you.

Advertising Industry's Role In Cultural Imperialism In Africa

Have you ever glanced at a commercial on local TV in Nairobi, Lagos, Durban or Kigali and found yourself questioning why the characters, scenarios, voices, and sometimes even language does not represent the African audience that the commercial is apparently aimed at?

In this groundbreaking report for The Spearhead, @Big_Mck outlines the historical and economic rationale behind the weird and unsettling tradition of representing Africans using foreign depictions in African commercial messaging, and why this is not simply a quirky, harmless phenomenon.

The report examines how the marketing communications industry across Africa and the diaspora plays a pivotal role in creating and maintaining socially harmful ideas in the public imagination including racial, cultural and ethnic inferiority complexes, and the desire to "fix" or "mitigate" some aspect of African identity by spending money on consumer offerings.

Choose your allies wisely.

Some give you physical infrastructure, mass transit technology, and the possibility of a better life for your children in their own country.

Others give you Powerpoint NGOs, social media skit contests and 96% visa refusal.

Whoever the shoe fits...

Do you know there’s something called “destabilization campaign,” usually used by foreign intelligence agencies like the CIA, against governments that oppose U.S. political and economic interests?

Let me know if you find any of these methods familiar 😉

1. Propaganda and Disinformation: Funding and managing media networks, planting stories, and running psychological operations (PSYOPs) to sway public opinion against the sitting government.

Say me hi to your media houses.

2. Economic Sabotage: Restricting international loans, orchestrating boycotts, and inducing labor strikes to cripple the target nation's economy and create domestic unrest.

3. Political Interference: Funding, training, and organizing opposition political parties, anti-government student movements, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

4. Paramilitary Operations: Equipping, financing, and advising militant factions, insurgents, or sympathetic military leaders to execute regime change.

Yea, the CIA claims they’re no longer into regime change operations so it might just be coincidence that some of the above listed operations have been seen in certain countries recently.

Disclaimer: I think I’m coming down with malaria so don’t take my word for it.

In your mother's poverty, she sold akara to give you an education. You work with the Presidency in 2026, but your brain has atrophied from lack of use.

Instead of implementing policies that give the Nigerian child a better childhood than you had, you are asking people to fry akara in 2026 and return to your mother's poverty.

REGISTER FOR ECHOES OF AFRICA CHALLENGE 2026!

The Spearhead is proud to promote a competition designed to support young Africans in understanding our history and heritage.

History Africa has opened registration today for the Echoes of Africa Challenge 2026, a virtual quiz competition for junior-secondary and senior-secondary students in all 54 African countries.

The theme is “Africa Know Thyself: ‘Beyond the Single Narrative’” Indeed, while many people begin the discussion on Africa with colonialism and slavery and end it with poverty and corruption, History Africa seeks to broaden the conversation. The real African story begins with the oldest human fossils found, marking the continent as the birthplace of humanity and many great civilisations. History Africa then aims to teach African children about the impact of colonialism, the partition of our continent without our consent, the ongoing Scramble for Africa to this day, and the liberation heroes who didn’t back down against foreign intervention and colonial-backed leaders’ treachery.

The virtual competition will occur on 10 October and 17 October for registrants.

Those young Africans who write the best essays will have a chance to win prizes. First position will receive 150,000 naira, second position will get 100,000 naira and third position will win 75,000 naira. All prize winners will receive a medal, certificate, educational materials, mentorship and training opportunities.

So young Africans: How much do you know about Africa?

Register until 25 September by visiting https://t.co/IPNoF6Rw2y.

The entry fee is 2,000 naira.

This is a member of the EU parliament saying the same things I say here on a daily basis about Europe and its activities in our region.

The EU parliamentarian is also a "conspiracy theorist" and "CIA man" too, I guess.

The clout whores. The content strumpets.

No line they won't cross. No shred of moral restriction.
No consciousness of proxified humanity.

Horrid hollow enclaves whose only driving compass is the smell of mint.

Irrevocably depraved abominations.

@Wizarab10 With things wey I don see, and things wey I still dey see.... Man I don taya

[YOM🗣️ @ThaBoyYom]

I clocked something..

Rent is always paid for, nobody notices that the DSTV subscription hasn’t gone off since, nobody notices that the kids haven’t stayed home since they started schooling, nobody notices how the cooking gas is always filled when it finishes, notice how there’s always light in the house even with the crazy units, there’s always fuel in gen when there’s no light.

Nobody appreciates the Man SPECIALLY for all these.. it’s seen as “that’s his job”.. he gets no special props for it.
.
.
.
.

But the moment you ask why there’s no food in the kitchen and/or why the kitchen is dirty..

It becomes “You think it’s easy to cook and clean, appreciate and support her”

Women want appreciation, support and incentives for their roles, while a Man wanting support for his own role is “not Man enough”.

+ When the Man supports her role, “He’s doing it for his family”

When the Woman supports his role, “She’s doing it for HER MAN”(and not for the family)

These are the issues…

Men need to clock so many things and start speaking up more to regulate these narratives… we can’t continue keeping quiet.. na beg I dey beg una.

Pattern recognition and the ability to always ask "why" is the difference between a thinking, independent adult and a zombie who lets Twitter manage his emotions.

It's when you look at the "South Africa Vs Ghana beef" and you ask yourself why the South African xenophobes whom everyone knows have had problems with Nigerians and Zimbabweans since forever, suddenly decided to go after Ghanaians - the relatively unproblematic group of Africans that are both highly visible and universally liked across the continent.

Why would the Afrophobes seeking a quick and easy win against African immigrants skip over the hundreds of thousands of available Zimbabweans (invisible and easy to pick on) and Nigerians (widely disliked across Africa) and specifically start a beef with the one group of Africans that the entire continent knows and likes?

How many Ghanaians even live in South Africa compared to Nigerians and Zimbabweans? Why did Ghana - the most unlikely target with the least potential payoff - suddenly become the focus of South African Afrophobes? What did that contrived, 1-sided beef accomplish except create a narrative that set the entire continent against them? Why would Afrophobes seeking a win against immigrants go after the one group of immigrants that everyone likes and aren't even that many, when there were tens of thousands of Kudakwashes and Emekas to go after?

Why shoot themselves in the foot for absolutely no reason by making an enemy out of the state that had the capacity to immediately charter widebody aircrafts to evacuate its citizens who were then pictured joyfully singing their national anthem on the plane home? Why score such a disastrous PR own goal and completely discredit their own movement by adopting the role of comic book monsters, to the point where all of South Africa's continental soft power is genuinely under threat?

Are these Afrophobes really that stupid?

Or, or...hear me out - they are just patsies and someone else behind the scenes is carefully curating a sequence of events that leads South Africa into a catastrophic loss of diplomatic credibility and cultural influence, which will then be followed by an assault against the South African state itself, possibly by one or more separatist entities that are already being covertly armed and equipped?

Who was recently seen sending Starlink kits to Orania under the Seal of the US First Lady? Whose ambassador recently met with Western Cape separatists after publicly stating that he "does not care what South Africa's courts say"? Who is currently pushing every button to discredit South Africa on the international stage including disinviting the country from the G7 meeting and using disaster photos from DR Congo to falsely claim a "white genocide" in South Africa?

Pattern recognition is what helps you stitch all these data points together in sequence and reach the obvious conclusion that helps you avoid becoming a useful idiot whose thoughts and feelings are dictated by proprietary algorithms owned by billionaire white supremacists who microdose ketamine.

It's a basic adult requirement.
