After the World Cup, I have spent a bit of time reading the declassified US Government Documents, especially the September 2026 ones (PURSUE).
A few observations (in relation to the recently re-released 'Eyes of Ghana' documentary)
- America, regardless of which party is is power, prosecute a foreign policy that is rooted in the same aims. And that is a major flex we can learn from, as individual African nations
- No matter how resolute an African nation's desire to remain self sufficient is, America patiently play the long game, repeating the old methods of using our own people who are unable to decide WE are more important than personal interest.
- A big way in which America succeeds is by muddying the narratives, diluting the influence and impact of people it cannot control, or who have died.
- The declassified files show a consistent pattern, going back as far as I was able to read, of undermining nations through their selfish leaders. This was key. It was almost impossible to frontally "attack" a nation if their own leaders did not play ball.
What's my point?
Please keep these four pointers in mind as you watch the movie.
Especially #3.
Delighted and thrilled that such a movie even exists, regardless of who executive produced it. But we need those who watch, especially Africans, to do so with an open mind.
And, never forget who Nkrumah did what he did for.
Us.
It was always for us.
I’m not saying Ghanaians are perfect; there is so much I don’t know about their internal politics. But I must say, I see the Nkrumah effect in their geopolitical posture. There is something about having a revolutionary ancestor that becomes deeply embedded in the orientation of a country’s public servants.
I remember their foreign minister knocking down a U.S. senator on Twitter some time ago when he sounded disrespectful, and the line he used was something like, “This is Nkrumah’s nation.” That was a proud moment for me.

🚨 Pep Guardiola: “Real Madrid have not been my biggest challenge. My biggest challenge has been Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool”.
“Maybe you’re in Spain [journalists] and you didn’t notice… You have no idea how it was like to face Liverpool in those games, a great learning experience”.
Hi everyone,
Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.
We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
in praise of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
