I don't understand how after everything I that happened to us in 2015 , a Nigerian would still think that the USA genuinely cares about Nigeria???
What kind of brain dead delusion is that ?
Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you:
1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency.
2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads.
3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower.
4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes.
5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?)
6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have.
7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.
8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.
9. No great power gives a single fuck about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end!
The black man gets the psychic enjoyment out of being called a nigga by a white woman. Thatโs often how these relationships form. Then you have a biracial chile growing up with anti blackness by both parents
I don't even know where to start with this foolishness the suffix "el" is very popular amongst jewish names
Christianity has its roots in Jewish TRADITION and culture which is why the angels have JEWISH names
The creators of superman are jack Kirby, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster all of who are the sons of Jewish immigrants,
Hence the story of superman, being an immigrant, and having a Jewish name alien name.
Una pastors too dull for nigeria and anybody who takes this nonsense that this bleeding imbecile just said is also an idiot.
lmao Trump will release Tinubu's unredacted FBI records, supervise free and fair elections in Nigeria, arrest Tinubu and make Peter Obi president.
People who have decided to be full time fantasists.
Me that used my own time, effort and money to pursue this case, I've told you for free that the US government is Satan and it doesn't matter whether it's the Blue Satan or the Red Satan, but they're convinced that Trump will do for them what they're not willing to do for themselves.
Make we dey watch film between now and next year.
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 "Traorรฉ 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!
@iamNeare Its the entire north america, you go see some of the most weak looking houses ever in a shit hole environment, and they'll tell you its 250k
Even some of the mobile homes that look like containers go for upwards of $100k now
Excessively spreading aids through vaccines in Africa. While they lied to you that it came from ape's and sexual intercourse.
This is More than mind blowing, we really need to sit up.
"The letter is fake."
lol
Whenever you people are finally ready to wake up will be your morning. Until then, keep coping and hoping.
After all aren't you Nigerians? Being delusional is your inheritance.
There's no stupidity and contradiction that doesn't come out of you people's mouth once you start sucking white penis
"Fight neocolionialsim and just get rich" isn't neo colonisation one of the things keeping africa poor ? Ode
People ask how Africa should fight neocolonialism.
My answer sounds too simple until you look at China: get rich enough that the world has to take you seriously.
Complaining can describe the power imbalance. Production changes it.
The country that makes goods, builds firms, trades at scale, and controls its energy has a louder voice than the country asking for sympathy.
Everyone else has their struggle and nobody asks them to dilute it so that other people can feel included. There are West Asian struggles, South Asian struggles, Pacific Islander struggles, East Asian struggles, Latin American struggles, Balkan struggles, Australian aboriginal struggles, Native American struggles and Central Asian struggles.
They are all allowed to exist and breathe independently. Nobody ever accused those struggles of taking anything away from a wider socialist struggle.
Only when it comes to the African struggle must we be constantly lectured about why we must accommodate this or that group of virulently anti-black people in our African struggle, or else we will split this or that movement - allowances that literally nobody in the history of the planet has ever made for us.
Look, we know that there is a global anti-imperial struggle that links all our struggles, and we know the shared history we have with the likes of Cuba, Palestine, China, Russia etc. Nobody is going to make us stop collaborating with those whose partnerships have been mutually beneficial.
But nobody is going to convince me that I should not focus on creating the same moat and ringfence that everybody else enjoys. Everyone else on earth has nationalism as an intrinsic feature of their struggle without anyone making faces at them for it - why is it Africa that must dissolve itself into some formless global "working class" kumbaya fantasy that clearly nobody else subscribes to? Why must we be the test subjects for what nobody else is willing to do?
Why are black people always held to ideological standards that nobody else is held to? Why didn't Mao or Lenin organise their revolutions around this amorphous "global proletariat"? Why did they build strong nation states instead? Who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan? Was it the "capitalist ruling class" that developed the bomb and flew the plane to drop it over Hiroshima, or did it use the air force of the United States Military to do that? Why does it need the apparatus of a nation state to impose its will on the world?
Why is this "capitalist ruling class" never able to impose its will anywhere except where it controls the levers of the state? Why have the only successful attempts to oppose this "capitalist ruling class" taken place through a powerful, well organised nation state acting in opposition? Why has all the world's "working class solidarity" not been able to stop innocent Palestinians from being exploded into bits with their families, but it is the IRGC and the well organised, industrial nation-state of Iran that has been able to stop a similar fate from befalling Iranian people?
If nationalism is just a bourgeiosie idea to serve local elites, then why does the "capitalist ruling class" invest billions of dollars every year on secessionist movements and rebel armies aiming to break up nation-states? If African nationalism represents a less important goal than this hypothetical global socialist utopia, then why do the powerful states controlled by the "capitalist ruling class" work so hard to kill or silence every single notable person who pushes African nationalism?
Why did they kill Patrice Lumumba? Why was Kwame Nkrumah overthrown after several failed attempts on his life? Why have there been multiple French-backed attempts on Ibrahim Traore's life? Why did they ignore Gadaffi for decades but the minute he paid for Africa's first communications satellite and put down Libyan state money to fund African replacements for the IMF and World Bank, plus gold reserves to back a continental currency - the things needed to unite Africa into a sovereign, continental nation-state - they immediately rushed every asset they had into Libya and didn't stop until they had him on video being anally raped with a knife on CNN? Why did they take down African Stream?
The STATE is the biggest asset and weapon that can be wielded by any group of people. If you have a state that is organised enough, you can go from a small island in the Atlantic to an empire covering two-thirds of the world. If you have a state that is organised enough, you can resist that empire and its successor, and prevent your people from becoming imperial roadkill. The entire reason why Africa is in its current situation is precisely because it has NO STATE, and its ability to create one is being actively sabotaged on a daily and ongoing basis, including through funding ideological subversion to convince Africans that there is an alternative to developing serious state capacity, either through Frank Zanu/Magatte Wade-style capitalism-raises-the-dead nonsense, or through woolly-headed Supermarxist trash.
Anybody who tells me as an African that I should devote my energy to chasing some formless, utopian "global proletariat revolution" instead of building a pragmatic, Chinese/Russian/Iranian/North Korean-style political revolution that births an industrial African state with the power to feed and defend itself, is just as useless to me as Magatte Wade telling me that the solution to my problems is to sell part of my country to Peter Thiel and gratefully let the new sovereign Epstein Island douse me with its hot, steaming American capitalism.
I will focus on Pan-Africanism and sovereignism. Africa will always come first for me before any of your other -isms. Anyone who doesn't like it, that's too bad. I didn't write the rules and I'm simply doing the same thing everybody else on this planet does - looking out for me and my own first. I'm not interested in being percecived as morally 'better' than anybody. That 'better' shit is what got my ancestors colonised and that's why I'm a black West African who speaks English and answers to "David" today. We don't repeat our ancestors' mistakes here.
In the everlasting words of Fela Kuti, TEACHER DON'T TEACH ME NONSENSE.
BREAKING: ECOWAS set to launching the long-awaited single regional currency, the ECO, in 2027, describing it as a major step towards deeper economic integration, stronger regional trade and sustainable growth across West Africa.
Sarkodie - Ibrahim Traore (Song Breakdown)
Mainstream African artistes typically avoid mentioning sensitive political themes or names in their music for fear of rocking the boat in the politically-exposed entertainment industry.
Ghanaian hip-hop superstar Sarkodie is not one of them. His latest single titled 'Ibrahim Traore' directly takes aim at the attempted imperialist targeting of Burkina Faso's revolutionary president, urging Africans to close ranks around Traore and protect the nascent political revolution in the AES.
For The Spearhead, @Big_Mck, who has been active in the entertainment industry reviews the new single and gives his informed verdict.
