Colonial Infrastructure in Africa Was Built for Extraction, Not ‘Civilisation’
Anti-imperialist podcaster Triploi, says that the c*lonialist argument that they ‘civilised’ Africa by "building roads and infrastructure" whitewashes hundreds of years of a campaign to steal African wealth on an industrial scale using infrastructure that they built specifically to aid the wholesale plunder of an entire continent.
A 2021 paper published in the New Political Economy journal calculated that the Global North still extracts $2.2 trillion annually from the Global South. Colonialism it seems, has not ended at all.
Let us know in the comments if you agree with the podcaster.

They called our mud houses and roofing system primitive, just for us to adopt something not eco-friendly, unlike what our ancestors used. We need to learn how to modernize most of what is indigenous to our land.
African Independence is a Myth - Chinua Achebe
Chinua Achebe said it plainly.
African independence is a myth if the same foreign powers that claim to have “left” are still interfering, still choosing sides, still supplying weapons, still shaping outcomes, and still pretending they are neutral. That is the dishonesty Achebe was pointing to.
They call it an African problem in public while fueling the same crisis behind the scenes.
So what kind of independence is that? This is why the conversation about Africa’s freedom cannot end with national borders. To be truly independent, we must have absolute control over our politics, resources, security, economies, and our future.
Anything less is performance.
Shahid Bolsen On Who Shook The Jar In South Africa
It is easy to get riled up by the simple and pervasive narratives surrounding ongoing anti-African violence in South Africa, but Shahid Bolsen reminds us that as always, it is better to avoid the face-value narrative and ask some deeper, more fundamental questions so as to arrive at an understanding of who is ultimately responsible for this and what their agenda is.
For those who still don't understand why Tanzania is so important and why regime change there is suddenly such a priority for the Epstein Island People and their local water carriers like Maria Sarungi and Willy Mutunga, here's the simplest explanation you will ever find👇🏾
PSA: It's not the poor, powerless foreigners you should be worries about. It's the rich ones who want to buy entire swathes of your national territory and turn them into literal colonies that aren't subject to your country's laws - those are your real nightmares.
Tinubu knows we always move on to the next one!
But as a mother I refuse to move on.
Thirty Nine (39) innocent children are still being held to Ransom.
The GCFR should resign if he can't secure our lives and bring back those kids.
Imagine a gun pointed to your mother’s head and the government she’s working for is quiet about it for 33 days.
or your child in the wilderness for 33 days.
Yes, just imagine.
Day 33, @officialABAT and @seyimakinde bring back the children, bring back the teachers.!!!
@NigeriaStories Here is they video
It’s a form you fill when someone is confirmed to be dead .
