Afrobeats And Its Links To US Secret Intelligence
Have you ever found yourself wondering why Afrobeats - the joyful soundtrack to the "Africa Rising" era from the late 2000s through the early 2010s - seems to have lost much of its energy and lustre of recent? Does it seem to you like the music no longer belongs to the fans and has become a distant, expensive product that nobody can relate with anymore?
You are not imagining it - in fact the reality of what has happened to Afrobeats is a lot darker than you would possibly imagine. Far from just a fresh music genre that embodied the sounds and aspirations of a new generation across the continent, it has been coopted into the arsenal of the US government's extensive foreign influence and interference tools. In fact, your favourite Afrobeats artist, as incredible as it sounds, most likely now has a handler permanently assigned to them by the US State Department.
In this special report, The Spearhead Senior Reporter Mckay Chukwu examines a story that has been hiding in plain sight for years, detailing the State Department's well-funded cultural interference infrastructure which has been deployed all over the Global South to bend entire populations and their governments toward the foreign policy goals of the US government.
This clip featuring General Ojukwu is from 1982, following his return to Nigeria from exile. Here, he briefly discusses his prime role during the Civil War, emphasizing that the war was not a personal pursuit, but a response to the plight and collective sentiment of the Igbo people at the time.
In other words, anything that has to do with the place of Ndigbo in Nigeria is an issue that affects all Igbos, whether for good or bad. It’s inescapable. Thus, whenever one Igbo feels threatened or tests injustice, all Igbos feel threatened. It’s in the Igbo DNA, and Ojukwu captured it well in this video.
Doesn’t this remind you of MAZI NNAMDI KANU and all Igbos currently in political distress?
THIS IS MASS MURDER:
"They sprayed something in the cell after putting us inside and people started falling down" - surviving miner in NSCDC custody tells Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (Interior Minister).
Nigerian businessman Emmanuel Chukwu used his ships to get more than 1,000 Nigerians out during Liberia’s civil war.
He was a rich businessman living in Liberia when the war started in 1989.
As the fighting spread, he reportedly used his own vessels and his own money to pull more than 1,000 stranded Nigerians out of the country.
He also reportedly gave up his new Mercedes-Benz to help free captured Nigerians.
It cost him. His businesses were looted, millions in assets gone, and his younger brother was killed in the war.
He risked his money and his safety for other Nigerians, and still hardly anyone talks about him.
“I HAVE BEEN VINDICATED! This Video Shows a Police Officer And Military Personnel Arrested For Supplying Weapons To B@ndits And Terror!sts. With This, We Now Know How These Terror!sts Get The Information They Use To Operate Because They Have Insiders Within The Military And Police. Just As I Said Before, These K!dnappings Happening On Our Roads Involve Bad Eggs Within The Nigerian Armed Forces.”
Let us begin today’s #XTuesday for the release of MAZI NNAMDI KANU by strongly urging President Tinubu to implement the standing Directives of the United Nations to de-proscribe IPOB, and halt the criminalization of its activities and alleged members. Below is a verbatim excerpt from the said Directives:
“We are particularly concerned by the designation of IPOB as a
terrorist organization and allegations that its leaders, supporters, sympathisers, and
even some individuals who had merely displayed its symbols have been arrested and appear to have been charged as "terrorists" on occasion.
“While recognizing the rise of regional tensions, as well as a range of challenging political claims advanced by IPOB, we nonetheless warn against the categorization of uncomfortable or challenging political speech as terrorism.
“We respectfully advance our views that the human rights implications of this proscription are considerable and not in compliance with international human rights law binding on Nigeria, or with best practice in relation to counter-terrorism strategies.
“Accordingly, we respectfully urge your Excellency' Government to reconsider the proscription of IPOB as a terrorist group and address the legal concerns on regulation of assembly, freedom of expression, and due process outlined in this communication. We stand ready to
provide assistance in this regard.”

🚨 A MAN WITH ADHD EXPLAINS A NORMAL DAY — AND HALF THE INTERNET SAYS “THAT’S ME”
He said finishing something doesn’t feel like winning.
It just feels like relief that it’s over.
Then the rest spilled out.
He’ll obsess over a person or project and vanish on friends for months. One small plan at night ruins the whole day because he can’t relax until it’s done.
The hyperactivity isn’t running around... it’s “five squirrels” in his head. A doctor called it anxiety because he wasn’t bouncing off the walls.
Slow talkers are painful because he says he’s already finished their sentence.
He’s driven but constantly on the edge of burnout.
He’ll call someone hyped, then ignore the callback when the dopamine disappears.
He opens Google, forgets why, checks his apps to remember what triggered the thought... then gets distracted by the apps and forgets Google entirely.
And that’s where the comments split.
One side says: “This is literally me.”
The other says: “This is just modern life with a label on it.”
Is this ADHD... or did he just describe what it feels like to have a phone and a brain that never shuts up?
Mike Benz Links CIA, U.S. State Department, UK Soft Power Funding To African Musicians And Record Labels
In this video, taken from a March 22, 2026 livestream, former US State Department official Mike Benz spotlights Nigeria's Chocolate City Music Group as one of the beneficiaries under the US State Department's little-known 'American Music Mentorship Programme' - a semi-clandestine US soft power/influence operation that co-opts music artists and record labels around the world into service to American political objectives.
Later this week, The Spearhead's @Big_Mck will be releasing a long-form piece addressing the revelations from the livestream and the wider implications of American foreign influence operations embedding themselves into cultural spaces across Africa and its diaspora.
