It is because Trevor Noah’s father is white and not black. It is not only Ime Okon who is a victim of that stupidity. Even former Johannesburg mayor Jolidee Matongo was insulted by some black people because his father was Zimbabwean. Yet, like Trevor Noah, he was born to a South African mother and was born in South Africa.
Lack of quality education and critical thinking was a deliberate apartheid strategy designed to dehumanise black people. That damage did not suddenly disappear with democratic rule in 1994. Some of it remains deeply psychological and continues to manifest in how black people treat one another today.
When people attack fellow Africans or question someone’s identity because of their father’s nationality, while accepting others because of whiteness or class, that contradiction exposes a deeper problem. It is rooted in insecurity, conditioning, and self hate.
@AfricanArchives Indians don’t have any problem with being beneath whites, they often offer themselves as a buffer race between whites and blacks in every multiracial society
The launch of Nigeria's first dedicated military satellite DELSAT-1 in November 2022.
Two additional satellites were expected to be launched in 2024/2025 as part of a planned 5 satellite constellation, but there’s been little to no update on the program since then.
How media reports turned a Brigade Commander into a “golden fish” in Sambisa Forest
By: Zagazola Makama
In the chaotic hours following the ISWAP ambush along the Burum–Kubua axis of the Damboa–Biu road, confusion spread rapidly both on the ground and across social media. Shortly after the encounter, the Brigade Commander, Brig. Gen. M. Uba, who had tactically maneuvered out of the kill zone with his men, temporarily took cover inside the forest.
From that concealed position, he established communication with the Theatre Commander, confirming his safety and proof of life in a video Watssap call. He also sent his Live location through his Wattssap which prompted ground and Air rescue mission by Air and surface troops of Operation HADIN KAI.
However, before official channels could release accurate information, social media platforms were flooded with sensational claims. Several blogs and influencers falsely reported that ISWAP had abducted a Brigade Commander a narrative that instantly went viral due to its shock value.
What followed was an information wildfire. The more the story spread, the more the terrorists, who initially had no situational awareness about the Commander’s movement, were alerted. Media amplification effectively turned him into the most sought-after “golden fish” in the Sambisa axis, prompting ISWAP cells linked to Ba Shuwa and Abu Qudama to intensify their scramble for a target they never actually had.
This misreporting created an unnecessary operational burden, as troops had to factor in the media-induced pressure while conducting recovery and reorganisation. It also heightened public anxiety and momentarily disrupted the flow of accurate battlefield communication.
At the time of the report, Zagazola dismissed the viral claims as entirely false. Verified accounts confirmed that a video released by the Commander himself confirmed he was alive, unharmed, and fully in control.
Unfortunately, Gen. Uba’s mobile phone became unreachable and he was not found at the Live location he initially provided. The Theartre Commander himself led troops to Azir and remained there for almost 24 hourz searching for the Commander without any trace.
In the end, the Brigade Commander was recaptured while attempting to maneuver his way out of the terrorists infested forest.
This incident illustrated a recurring challenge in conflict reporting: how information can endanger personnel and inadvertently assist hostile groups by providing them with operational clues.

Congratulations to all Ethiopians on another milestone in our journey toward food security and agricultural transformation. Today, we signed the Fertilizer Complex Shareholder Investment Agreement between Ethiopian Investment Holdings and Dangote Group. With an investment of $2.5 billion, this mega project will produce up to 3 million metric tons of fertilizer annually, placing Ethiopia among the largest producers globally.
This project will create jobs locally, ensure a reliable fertilizer supply for our farmers who have long faced challenges, and mark a decisive step in our path to food sovereignty. It strengthens Ethiopia’s competitiveness across the continent and reflects our commitment to executing strategic investments that serve our people and our future.
Following today’s signing, we will officially launch the project on site. We have started this journey, and we will finish it for our farmers, for our economy, and for Ethiopia’s future.
If Peter Obi did what he did as governor of Anambra state in China he would be in Prison today.
Investing $30millions of state funds into SABMillers and giving 5% equity to his family.
Using Anambra state funds to run a bank he has shares in.
These are criminal offenses.

Relations between Russia and Nigeria are deepening on a strategic level. In February Nigeria resumed negotiations for a partnership with Russia in the area of nuclear power.
Nigeria plans to build two nuclear plants at an estimated cost of $20 billion to boost power supply.
This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians. Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did! The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”
The Nigerian military has been ranked 3rd in Africa after Egypt and Algeria, according to the Global Firepower Index for 2025.
This is Nigeria's highest ever ranking. Nigeria has made fast strides in modernizing its armed forces in recent years.
Burkina Faso's 36-year-old President Ibrahim Traore stole the show at the inauguration of Ghana's President John Mahama.
He received the loudest cheers at the event.
President Mahama also affirmed this. President Traore said both countries will strengthen their relations.
