"Nigeria is a shithole", but your supposed non-shithole country was a beneficiary of Nigeria taking all the bullets meant for it in the 70s and 80s, otherwise it might still be called "Upper Nyasaland" with cities named "Salisbury" and "Leopoldville", and you would still need written permission to leave your designated "Bantu reserve area" and travel to other parts of your country.
At least 3 Nigerian presidents have been murdered in office for protecting African interests, including one whose assassination was personally ordered by Henry Kissinger for leading an anti-apartheid vote at the AU against US instructions just 30 days before he was shot.
Name another country on the planet where 4 different presidents have been killed in office since 1966, and each of these assassinations was a foreign-driven operation. Nearly all of the limited freedom from direct colonialism that most Africans have today is a barge floating on a river of Nigerian blood - apart from DR Congo, which is nearly 3x bigger than Nigeria, no country on this continent has lost more people to foreign-backed wars and insurgencies.
Many of you have gotten way too comfortable casually disrespecting Nigeria because you are not aware of the terrible price it has paid to give you the limited freedom that you have. If Nigeria had spent all those decades acting like Kenya and collaborating with your enslavers, by now you would be in your Bantu reserve with no internet access reading smuggled magazines with photos of Lagos and Abuja, and it would look like a different world to the one around you.
Nigeria will not remain in its current debased state indefinitely. It will surely rise again and when it does, a lot of this casual disrespect towards Nigeria and Nigerians will be revisited. You will explain precisely what you mean by "Nigeria is a shithole" all the way from Mpumalanga.
Nobody is asking for any grace or help from you (which will never come anyway). You're just being notified.
Two stories that did the rounds this week clearly illustrate one thing about the Yoo Ess Ay and its vassals - nothing they say has any value whatsoever. Words have no meaning and everything is just a weapon of war.
The Usual Suspects Are Full Of Bullshit part 47291
South Africa and the Weaponisation of the “Foreign Criminals” Narrative
How many foreign nationals do you think are incarcerated in South Africa's prison system? Of this number, how many do you think are Nigerians? If you have been following popular public conversations in South Africa, you would think the numbers should be in the tens or hundreds of thousands - and you would be hilariously wrong.
Using the actual data to make the point, @Big_Mck explores the anatomy of how psy-ops work in Africa by constructing what sound like believable narratives out of complete fabrication and fiction. At a time when the US Africa Command has openly announced the launch of its "Operation Drongo" psy-op targeting Africa with a sophisticated Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) attack, it is more important than ever before for Africans to learn to scrutinise whatever information they allow to get into their ears and eyeballs.
Content Monetization and The Hijack of Africa's Digital Space
The digital gold rush in Africa is a deliberate structural trap. By incentivizing sensationalism over substance, global platforms have effectively co-opted the creative energy of a generation, steering millions away from the urgent work of reclaiming sovereign narrative and towards a cycle of 'engagement' that hollows out our intellectual discourse.
The Spearhead’s @Big_Mck reports that real digital independence starts with the courage to choose quality over clicks; a challenge that demands a deliberate commitment from every viewer to amplify rather than just consume.
I myself am a "men". Most of my friends are also a "mens". I have no idea who African women are referring to when they say that "men" prefer women who wear wigs over their natural hair. I can use myself and my sizeable friend group across 9 countries on the continent as enough of a sample size to categorically state that African men overwhelmingly prefer their women's natural hair.
Yet everytime this conversation pops up, we hear about this mythical creature called a "men like women in wigs." On behalf of African men, allow me to say it again that if "men" prefer female wigs over female natural hair, then we must be women - that does not apply to us at all.
We grew up with you people. You are our sisters, cousins, schoolmates and friends. The first picture of the female form that we saw and fell in love with as your brothers, nephews and high school boyfriends was you in your natural state. I don't think you realise how powerful that is. The girl from the next classroom that was every African boy's first love was a girl appearing in her natural state. That is the default picture of love that stays with us for life! We did not wake up one morning at 17 and suddenly decided that female beauty = a woman wearing a Hollywood production on her head.
That is fake news!
We've always loved you as you are.
The real issue is that you are receiving commercial messaging and social engineering propaganda to convince you that your natural state is incomplete, so that you will spend money to "fix" what was never broken, and some white guy somewhere gets paid off that. We do not control any of the messaging you are receiving! We don't control any social media algorithms. We don't control your TV programming. We don't control Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+ etc. We don't make TV and movie casting decisions.
We don't own any of the supply chains and factories built around manufacturing your insecurity - the most we can do is retail these products that somebody else put in your mind, manufacturer in a Chinese factory, and shipped to your country. If we were the ones in control of any of these things, we would never push such products on you. Even drug dealers don't sell drugs to their own family members.
Anyway that's precisely the problem - we're the world's least powerful men and our weakness has built a superhighway for every Tom, Sandeep and Chung to dump toxic ideas and products on our women and leave us to deal with the fallout. It is precisely because we don't control Media, Politics, War, Industry or Logistics that we haven't built a physical and psychological wall around our women, unlike every other group of men on the planet.
Our weakness as a group is what has left our women's minds and bodies defenseless and open to exploitation from anyone and everyone - to the point where they literally look at their natural form in the mirror and think there is something they need to correct about it. They know that as a group, the only thing we offer to them is penis and they have learned to discount whatever we say, even when we tell them that they're beautiful as they are.
This is a problem that the African rebellion will naturally solve.
When African men take our rightful place in the world and begin exercising power as we should, nobody will need to tell African women that their beauty is not enhanced in any way by laying a dead Indian woman's hair above their own.
Power fixes these problems.
In hindsight, one feels very dumb for having taken certain well-promoted narratives at face value.
2 of the very worst of these are "Kenya doesn't have resources" and "Northern Nigeria is poor".
Believing these 2 absolute whoppers as an African is the base layer on the road to completely misunderstanding where you live and what is happening in the world.
You almost have to give the liars credit because getting presumably educated people to believe such absolute nonsense is a truly impressive feat of social engineering. If you can make people believe that violent conflict mineral trafficking in northern Nigeria is "Islamic terrorism", and Kenyan elephants getting fatally poisoned by runoff from gold mining was "elephants eating cyanide tomatoes" then what can't you make people believe?
Why is United Epstein Republic making noises about carrying out airstrikes in Mali - a country that was neither in need of nor informed of such a thing?
It's the usual suspects playing their information warfare agames again.
Peter Thiel's Objective AI, And Why Western Built Chatbots Are A Danger
Are we slowly handing over our ability to judge what's true to an algorithm?
Peter Thiel, the German-American billionaire behind Palantir, is now backing Objection AI, a platform designed to act as an online tribunal for information. Like many Western-owned AI chatbots already shaping public conversations, these systems don't simply discover the truth.
They only reflect the biases, priorities, assumptions, and perspectives of the people who build and control them.
In this report, The Spearhead's McKay Chukwu examines why trusting these platforms as the final authority on what is true may itself become one of the biggest sources of misinformation.
Black People Have Always Seen Through The Myth of White Supremacy
"African people who live in the US, by virtue of extremely painful interactions with Europeans over hundreds of years, have developed a clearer understanding of Europeans than Europeans have of themselves."
This is the opinion of US vlogger and self-described former r*cist Dixon D. White in this monologue where he takes aim at the mass delusion of white supremacism that underpins European-American society. According to White, the toxic belief in White superiority has not only been used against other groups, but has also been a tool for exercising control over the group that has erroneously thought of itself as "superior".
Do you agree with White's assessment?

We're Rebuilding the Military So Future Generations Don't Face T*rrorism
As Burkina Faso President @CapitaineIb226 lauded the 25th graduating class of student-officers (or cadets) on 26 July at the Georges-Namoano Military Academy (AMGN), he proclaimed that the country is rebuilding its military capacity so that future Burkinabè won’t have to deal with foreign-backed t*rrorism.
The 2011 US-led NATO invasion of Libya flooded the Sahel with arms and militants, turning the more than 3-million-square-kilometre African region into the world’s ‘epicentre of t*rrorism’ by 2022, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace’s Global T*rrorism Index.

Israel-Based Covert Team Worked On Nigeria’s 2015 Presidential Election
The 2015 Nigerian presidential election was a battleground for Western disinformation industry.
This investigation by Manisha Ganguly shows how a covert, Israel-based team—known as ‘Team Jorge’—was actively working to manipulate the outcome behind the scenes.
Using a sophisticated arsenal of over 30,000 automated bots, they orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to distort reality and influence voters.
This is another reminder that Africa is in an information war and we must interrogate every narrative especially when it's coming from the West.
The most useful political statement I have ever read was this simple quote from Chairman Mao: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun".
Everything else is just a series of fantasies and illusions that people sell themselves so they can sleep well at night. Whatever style of government you pretend to have, it is always underwritten by men with guns, and its stability always ultimately comes down to what the men with guns choose to do.
Your "democracy" is a children's fairy tale you tell yourself to make the world more palatable - it is men with guns that enforce and implement decisions, and it is men with guns that will escort you into a police car, a courtroom or a prison if you choose not to obey whatever instruction you have received.
Your "theocracy" is a lie because God has no power to make you do anything without the men with guns making you carry out his will. Mecca and Jerusalem are the 2 allegedly holiest in the world, and they're both filled with men with guns, purportedly carrying out the will of God.
Every type of human society is held together by men with guns. A good society is one where the interests of the men with guns align with those of the people without guns, and a bad society is one where the men with guns live parasitically off the people without guns.
ALL societies are dictatorships of men who control the guns. Some just include a whole lot of extra steps to obfuscate that basic fact. I personally prefer the societies where the men with the guns do not hide their control and their interests align with those who do not have guns.
Growing up is realising that "democracy" is like Santa Claus. It's a story told for 5 year-olds to feel involved in the world's decision making. You didn't put Tinubu, Trump or Macron in power with your "vote" you fucking peasant.
Priti Patel, Kemi Badenoch and Suella Braverman are the exact same recurring character in white supremacist politics: The Minority Shield.
@Big_Mck dives in
This story went by silently. Only The Spearhead and a few other platforms even ran it. The same Kenya that these NGO bleeding hearts live in, is going to mine the shit out of Mrima Hill and other rare earth mineral areas in Kenya.
No muzungu-funded NGO spiel about that.
But Dangote announces plans for a refinery in Lamu (much less environmentally destructive than a rare earth mining or refinery facility) and before the feasibility study is even done, Greenpeace Africa is mobilising natives to write think pieces!
Just like Dialogue Earth tried to mobilise me 2 years ago to write a hack piece about the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria for $800. I bet these ones are doing it for even less.
By the time Kenyans in particular figure out how the world really works and how wicked this imperial "foreign aid" network is, they will physically drag every Kenyan who works for an NGO into the street and carry out the world's largest mass beating.
The Spearhead Reacts to U.S. Christian Nationalist's Call for Recolonization of Africa
Recently, American preacher Dale Partridge explicitly called for a return to European Christian colonization in Africa, invoking archaic, race-based theological constructs like the "Hamite" categorization to justify a permanent "civilizational station of subordination" for African nations.
In the latest Spearhead report, we peel back the mask on this narrative. We examine why these calls are not merely fringe opinions but a dangerous continuation of historical exploitation—the same logic used to rationalize the partitioning of Africa while "gospel merchants" stripped the continent of its resources.
History has shown us that the "fruit" of such colonization is devastation. We must remain alert; narratives like these are designed to sow the seeds for a second wave of encroachment.
Advertising Industry's Role In Cultural Imperialism In Africa
Have you ever glanced at a commercial on local TV in Nairobi, Lagos, Durban or Kigali and found yourself questioning why the characters, scenarios, voices, and sometimes even language does not represent the African audience that the commercial is apparently aimed at?
In this groundbreaking report for The Spearhead, @Big_Mck outlines the historical and economic rationale behind the weird and unsettling tradition of representing Africans using foreign depictions in African commercial messaging, and why this is not simply a quirky, harmless phenomenon.
The report examines how the marketing communications industry across Africa and the diaspora plays a pivotal role in creating and maintaining socially harmful ideas in the public imagination including racial, cultural and ethnic inferiority complexes, and the desire to "fix" or "mitigate" some aspect of African identity by spending money on consumer offerings.
Jeffrey Sachs: MI6, DGSE, and CIA Can’t Stop Pan-Africanism This Time - That Era Is Over!
According to American economist and author Jeffrey Sachs, the first wave of Pan-Africanism which birthed African independence and liberation movements in the 2nd half of the 20th century, was stopped from outside through the combined efforts of the US, British and French intelligence services working together to ass*ssinate African leaders and disrupt the process of independent African state formation.
This interruption, Sachs says, is no longer sustainable because these intelligence agencies no longer have the power and the narrative upper hand, and Africa increasingly now has the ability to defend itself. Sachs advises Africa to focus on building out a continent-wide legal and infrastructural framework to boost cooperation and trade in such a manner that would create an economic miracle similar to that of China.
The African content creator you made this video with earns enough to live in a “decent” neighbourhood, but you, Ashton Hall, even as a black man, insists on shooting this content in a neighbourhood like this, passing it off as the short guy’s home, to impression your American audience. Smh.
Dear Nigerians, your country as you knNow it is gone.
An ex-minister from a country I can't name in this caption is boldly on Nigeria’s national TV discussing Nigeria’s national security.
This also proves my point the media is the biggest weapon fashioned against any meaningful movement in Africa.
