“I can kidnap any government if I want, even governors. The forces they send to attack me are my boys, they inform me before coming. I receive info on national security strategy meetings involving the president. They only operate if I allow them.”

France and China have been mining Nigeria’s mineral resources illegally for years. They dominated the space silently.

Now America wants in. Not just a share, they want control. Suddenly every “discovery” is breaking news, like these minerals just appeared yesterday.

It is all strategy. The announcements, the sudden interest, all of it is designed to box America out before they can compete.

Either way, with Nigeria leaders who refuse to think long term, the cycle of exploitation continues. Different players, same outcome. Which way Naija.

There is one piece of information that these "Biafra is treason" people are deliberately leaving out of their propaganda, and that's the main point of this war story.

NDIGBO DID NOT DECLARE WAR... They simply broke out of Nigeria, and Nigeria fired the first shot because they were afraid of loosing the Igbos.

Assata Shakur: Cuba Revealed the African Heritage US Media Often Tried to Erase

Assata Olugbala Shakur was a political activist and a prominent member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army in the USA. She lived out most of her life in political exile in Cuba following her questionable conviction for the alleged m*rder of a police officer in 1973 and her subsequent escape from prison in 1979.

In this clip, Assata - the godmother of HipHop music legend Tupac Shakur - explains how upon arriving in Cuba, she was struck by the stark difference between the visibly African-dominated reality of Cuba's population and culture, and the whitewashed, Europeanised, "Gusano" version of Cuba presented to the world through the lens of US media and its infamous "Miami Cuban" filter.

Her words serve as a reminder that those who control the reins of public perception via media and information often use that power to misrepresent and distort objective reality. Be it on the continent, in Cuba, or anywhere else in the diaspora, Africans must learn to seize control of their public narrative and jealously guard it.

The brutal murder of the King of Gobir, Muhammad Isah Bawa, by Fulani bandits remains unforgettable.
He had just left a peace meeting with the Sultan of Sokoto when he was ambushed and killed.

For weeks, the king cried out for help, but none came. Even after his death, his family was denied the chance to recover his body, and the Sultan offered no condolences.

This tragic incident raises serious questions about unity in Nigeria.

We are constantly told we are one but actions like this tell a very different story.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

I am impressed by the Nigerian online revolt against "anti-intellectualism." There is still a glimmer of home somewhere. The problem is sadly far beyond talking down the "Olodos" and their "Agbaya" enablers. It is a deeper, fundamental educational problem and, worse still, a structural economic problem. The best counter is an education or innovation renaissance.

People like @emekaokoye have since been sounding the alarm about our so-called "tech industry" that we are not creating any technology. The reason was not far-fetched; we have had a couple of generations that did not learn properly and have been exposed to the worst aspects of global capitalism.

What people are calling an "Olodo-Uprising" is a symptom of attention monetization in the "experience economy" with the worst type of technology. People are capitalizing on the lowest-hanging fruit of online content to generate income to survive.

Some have gone beyond survival and have begun to transform society as they become role models for the young, impressionable, and unwitting. Online outrage or "canceling" will not stop this trend.

I still remember the story below about Steve Jobs and his thoughts on Disney:

“The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda for an entire generation to come. Disney has a monopoly on the storyteller business. And you know what? I am tired of that bullshit. I am going to be the next storyteller!”

If we want the next generation to be daft, we leave the monopoly of storytelling to the "Olodos," the sycophants and their funders, or we could change the game by telling better stories without relying on the quick wins of social media monetization.

China banned the poisonous version of American social media for a good reason. The UK is banning access for those under 16. Others have woken up, but we are largely still asleep.

Steve Jobs told his story with great technology products and a legacy that has outlived him. We are arguing here about Akara and Kuli Kuli, or waiting for the next startup announcement, with the funds coming from those who are helping destroy our future.

Agendas are real. Let's reset this one properly.

🇮🇷 This is the Karaj dam near Tehran.

After the destruction of several American radar systems on the ground during the Ramadan war, rains inexplicably returned to Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.
All dams are full, and even inland lakes that were thought to have dried up have returned 75%-90% of their capacity. Pezeshkian's administration in Iran had planned to relocate the capital to the coast of the Oman Gulf before the war due to the water crisis. Rain, greenery, and life have returned after the expulsion of the American demonic legions, thanks to the sacrifices made by the Iranian armed forces and the Resistance Movement in Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen.

Fighting Fellow Africans Instead Of Reclaiming Ownership Won’t Free Black South Africans

An increasing number of prominent South Africans are pushing back against the Afrophobia narratives currently being promoted by a noisy minority within the country.

South African pop artist Mizz Gabbzz recently had a few pointedly critical words to say about the phenomenon of locals attacking African foreign nationals ostensibly out of competition for "jobs", while completely ignoring the elephant in the room that is the racialised European dominance and ownership of nearly all of South Africa's means of production.

"I laughed over the Ycee 'Olodo Uprising' topic, not because I found it funny, but because he was identifying something in his time. However, he was seeing the latter stage of something that started in my own generation when I was probably his age.

I spoke about weaponized ignorance for the first time in 1994 when I wrote a piece on it. He is identifying the same phenomenon. The 'Olodo Uprising' was fathered by weaponized ignorance."

DJ Akademiks Reveals How Visibility Is Rigged By Social Media Platforms

DJ Akademiks shares how TikTok recruited him to be part of a circle of influencers who would make videos based on “trends” that the platform itself created. TikTok would then ensure that those videos would go viral.

Given that political suppression of anti-imperialist viewpoints and artificial promotion of mind numbing, superficial, deviant visual slop in specific locations both take place on the platform, which is staffed by several former US and Isr*eli government agents, do you believe that TikTok and other social media algorithms are simply neutral recommendation engines? Drop us a comment.

If you give a black man money he starts oppressing his neighbours.

If you give two black men money, they start competing with each other.

If you give 3 black men money they will buy guns and kill each other.

If you give 4 black men money, they will form an elitist group to enslave and control their people.

In 2024, rapper Ikechukwu met a US cab driver. He was in Nigeria during the Biafra genocide.

He said: "I was in Kaduna and there were mercenaries there. They were at Hamdala hotel. They wake up in the morning, have breakfast and they fly over Biafra & drop bombs."

Fact is..

The people arguing for “Akara and Kulikuli” are doing so just to defend the government. They don't even believe their own words. Those arguing against just want to oppose as per opposition. Neither of them are actually discussing the real issue.

This is what I dislike about Democracy. Put two opposing groups together, throw all kinds of arguments on the floor to keep them busy, and make sure they argue about anything but the root of their problem.

To understand and recognise what improves life is a natural human intelligence. That’s why nobody would intentionally want to get hurt. But as democracy entered the equation, it completely disoriented humans to the point that they couldn't simply agree on what makes their lives better. Somehow, the system manages to convince them that arguing endlessly (most times for argument's sake) is the only way to make progress.

There will always be petty traders. The discussion should be how to ensure the working class (which includes the Akara sellers), who are the backbone of society, get the most out of the value they add, not telling everybody to start Akara business or imagining a world where there would be no Akara sellers.

Whenever you people are ready, we will start having that “socialism” conversation. Because that’s the solution to all of this.

ZANU-PF Spokesperson Links South African Afrophobia To Colonial Racial Legacy

ZANU-PF Spokesperson Christopher Mutsvnagwa recalls in this interview with South African news platform Newzroom Afrika, that the roots of modern day Afrophobia in South Africa stem from colonial racism during the liberation struggle era where white settlers fleeing Angola, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and other newly independent countries in the region were given free access to South Africa and treated as citizens.

The same treatment was not however, extended to Africans from those countries who found their way into South Africa for economic reasons. This he argues, is the basis of the 2-tier treatment of black foreign nationals and white foreign nationals in South Africa.

Do you agree with him? Let us know in the comments.

Simeon came down ,in the years to come, Nigeria will witness more killings, kidnappings, and destruction by radical Islamic groups because it’s backed by northern government

Twelve northern states have institutionalized Sharia, and the Hisbah armed militias have been established to protect Sharia laws, principles, traditions, values, and practices.

Every Muslim in Nigeria supports Sharia and that is the genesis of the problem.

I see a future Nigeria where there will be a Muslim North and a Christian South.

If you are a Muslim, you will go to the North;

if you are a Christian, you will relocate to the South.

These two regions can never be sustained or coexist in one Nigeria.

Divorce lawyer James Sexton on why modern marriage feels unfair to men.

He says the man is expected to provide financially, protect, and be part of the family, all enforceable by the state. But the woman’s side (love, affection, sex, being a good mother) can’t be forced.

If he fails, he can go to jail. If she fails, nothing.

He told the story of an air traffic controller who lost his high-paying job due to anxiety after his mother died. The court still imputed his old salary for child support, leading to jail time when he couldn’t pay.

What’s your opinion, do you think the legal risks in marriage are unfairly stacked against men?

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

You people are something else. What do you mean by "moral values evolve?” There’s no time in history when slavery was “morally right.” That something is legal doesn't make it rational. Legality and rationality are not the same thing. Even till date, you can legalize anything. You should know this, but of course you are more interested in excusing Oyibo crimes, as an Oyibo worshiper.
