@Spearhead_Af a friend of mine has concluded in his heart that there is something inherently wrong with us. he said we are experimental beings. 😭
cos tell me why we literally block ourselves from each other because some foreign countries told us so?
Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans
Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.
They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.
So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.
bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.
but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.
@shavnyuy@jamesonen If they weren't preserved by Africans, how come the Europeans met them when they came? I'd pay the retard no attention, but for the sake of others who may want to be infected with his foolery I had to put this out.
The Kingdom of Benin was casting brass sculptures using the lost-wax technique before the 13th century.
In 1897, British soldiers raided Benin City and took thousands of them. When the sculptures reached Europe, many refused to believe Africans had made them. They credited the Portuguese. They credited ancient Egypt.
Felix von Luschan, curator at Berlin’s Ethnological Museum, later wrote that the works stood among the highest heights of European casting. He meant it as a compliment. He did not realize it was a confession.
Most of those sculptures are still in European museums today.
Arsenal's Title Victory And The Emotional Colonization Of Africans
Why are so many Africans so passionate about non-African football teams winning a game thousands of miles away from the continent? Why is so much money, time and energy channeled towards the professional and personal lives of wealthy foreign athletes in a continent where anywhere between 40 and 50% of the entire population lives in multi-dimensional poverty?
What does this fact say about the priorities of the average African? And who ultimately benefits from this mass distraction?
@Big_Mck reports for The Spearhead.
I was once obsessed with European football. The Champions League, the Premier League, La Liga, all of it. Not only was I emotionally invested, I made a profession out of promoting it as a sports journalist. But there comes a point when enough is enough. I reached that point in 2020, when I recognised that I had spent years promoting a tool of cultural imperialism.
In this report for the @Spearhead_Af, I express my disappointment at the way Africans celebrated Arsenal’s Premier League title more passionately than local supporters in England.
This must stop. It is time African youth directed their energy toward what actually matters for the continent, such as economic and political sovereignty. And if the passion for football cannot be set aside entirely, it must be redirected toward local football.
How often do you discuss quantum mechanics with anyone?
How often does quantum mechanics get discussed even among theoretical physicists?
Sure, you don't tell the same sorts of jokes, but if the purpose of a joke is to make someone laugh, you probably already want to tell the sort of joke that will get a laugh out of someone, not one that will show off your highfalutin fancy talk.
The Ashanti people of Ghana built furniture so significant it started a war. Their stools were not just common stools. Each one was carved from a single piece of wood, shaped to reflect the owner’s identity, status and soul. The Golden Stool was considered so sacred that when the British Governor demanded to sit on it in 1900, the Ashanti took up arms rather than allow it.
Today, Ghana imports plastic chairs from China.
🚨 Kenya WITHDRAWS from the WHO because it discovered that the tetanus vaccine was combined with a sterilizing agent.
“We can no longer afford to trust the World Health Organization”
“Vaccines have reduced fertility”
The Supreme Court also suspended Bill Gates' procedural immunity 🔥
When we were questioning vaccines, egbon called us ANTI VAXXERS.

Now that Nigerian farmers can no longer export ginger because their seeds and soil have been strategically destroyed, here’s a list of so-called influencers who allegedly took blood money from the devil to promote GMO in the country.
West Africans need to stop forcing our history into Abrahamic or Middle Eastern narratives. It’s historically inaccurate, and honestly, it reflects a deep cultural insecurity.
You Ijebu people are not Jews. Queen Sheba did not visit Ijebuland. Hausas are not Arabs from Baghdad. Igbos are not Israelites. We need to stop romanticizing foreign origins as if our civilizations only become meaningful when linked to the Middle East.
West Africa already has a rich, ancient, and sophisticated history of its own, you have the Nok, Ile-Ife, Benin, Oyo, Gao, Mali, Kanem-Bornu, Igbo-Ukwu, and countless others. Many of our ancestors had lived and developed cultures in these lands for tens of thousands of years before Judaism, Christianity, or Islam even emerged.
There is nothing inferior about being indigenous to Africa. We do not need borrowed identities to validate our existence, intelligence, spirituality, or achievements.
Our history stands on its own. Stop it!
Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
@Wizarab10 This is peak gaslighting. Even balablu confirmed that many did not vote for him - 'many' not 'some'. Majority of the populace voted for Pitobi, unfortunately someone else was declared the winner.
What posts like this does is validate the assertion that bulaba wasn't rigged in.
