The Iron Triangle. 🇲🇱 🇧🇫 🇳🇪
“When one of us is attacked, all of us are attacked.”
This is the unbreakable law of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). By uniting as a single confederation, Mali, Burkina Faso, and N1ger have built an iron shield across West Africa.
They realized a simple truth: divided, they can be manipulated—but united, they are untouchable.
For decades, outsiders used borders to keep these nations isolated, exploiting their gold and uranium. The Sahel Trio just r1pped up that old playbook.
They have combined their militaries and unified their defense to make one thing crystal clear: the wealth and security of this land belong strictly to its people.
Real independence isn't about standing alone. It’s about finding brothers who refuse to sell out, protecting each other's homes, and building a future where no foreign power can ever dictate the laws again.
In an ideal world, this not only be the motto of the AES, but it should be the motto of the entire African continent.

🇧🇫🇫🇷Burkina Faso formally end all diplomatic relations with France:
In a news that is likely to send shockwave across the imperialist world, Burkina Faso announced it is ending diplomatic relations with France, following the EU resolution that was spareheaded by Paris.
The consequences of this decision is that the French embassy in Burkina Faso will will forced to close .
Welcome to the Kakistocratic government and Republic of Nigeria.
@SenRemiTinubu message appears to come from a micro-enterprise philosophy where people should not wait endlessly for government jobs. The belief that small businesses can provide immediate income, grants can help citizens become self-employed, and every honest business deserves dignity.
In that sense, there is nothing wrong with frying akara, roasting corn, selling kuli-kuli, farming, trading, tailoring or starting from whatever one has. Across developing economies, small businesses feed families, create income and help people survive where formal jobs are scarce. This is a common approach in poverty-alleviation programmes across many developing countries.
But the anger is not really about akara or kuli-kuli or corn. Madam, the backlash is about context, expectation and national vision. Nigeria is blessed with crude oil, natural gas, limestone, iron ore, coal, gold, lithium, fertile agricultural land, a huge consumer market and a massive youthful workforce.
So when national leaders speak mainly about roadside survival businesses while unemployment, inflation and the cost of living remain severe, the painful question many citizens hear iis, is this the highest economic ambition for a nation with such enormous potential?
The deeper issue is where the nation’s wealth is being created. A serious economy does not merely export raw resources and import finished products.
It refines, processes and manufactures.
Crude oil should become petrol, diesel and petrochemicals at home. Agricultural produce should become finished food products and minerals should be refined before export and gas should power industries.
Each stage creates factories, engineers, technicians, logistics jobs, maintenance work, research, quality control, finance, taxes, export earnings and millions of dignified livelihoods.
Government’s responsibility is not only to tell citizens to hustle. It must build the conditions that make prosperity possible - reliable electricity, gas infrastructure, renewable energy, roads, rail, industrial parks, storage facilities, food-processing centres, stable policies, access to finance, education, healthcare, rule of law and strategic industries.
A healthy economy needs both vibrant small businesses and large industries employing thousands!
But when the national conversation focuses more on survival-level entrepreneurship than on industrialisation, manufacturing, technology, power generation and skilled employment, people begin to feel that the country’s future is being reduced to poverty management - which is what it is anyway.
A 'conscious' nation does not despise the woman frying akara, the farmer, the welder, the trader, the tailor or the young person starting small. Their labour deserves honour.
But conscious leadership must ask a deeper question - Are we preparing citizens merely to survive, or are we building a nation where they can flourish? A resource-rich country should not force its brightest minds to choose between unemployment and roadside survival. Its natural resources should fuel industries, its industries should create dignified employment, and its economy should make enterprise a path of opportunity, not a desperate escape from hardship.
Encouraging entrepreneurship is good. But building an economy where people can rise, refine, manufacture, innovate and prosper is better. The highest duty of leadership is not to teach citizens how to manage poverty, it is to create the conditions for widespread prosperity.

In his seminal book Black Skin, White Masks, psychiatrist and philosopher Frantz Fanon argued that the black man’s view of himself is deeply fractured by the "white gaze". He explained that colonialism forces black people to internalize white standards of beauty, intelligence, and humanity, creating a complex, inescapable psychological alienation.
Internalized Inferiority: Because the dominant culture is white, black individuals are conditioned to view their own blackness as a mark of deficiency, ugliness, or evil. Fanon described how the black man tries to wear a "white mask" by adopting European language, culture, and values, hoping to gain acceptance and escape his own blackness.
I cannot believe some people are just finding out that content like this exist. This is almost a year-old report.
This is why you need to be following @Spearhead_Af, and not just following, you need to set notifications on. There’s literally content like this from the page every single day, and the algorithm might not show it to you. 🤷🏾♂️
He spoke with measured wisdom.
The current Nigerian reward system is skewed against values. The society now rewards emptiness, ignorance, and illiteracy.
Gone are the days when First Class graduates are rewarded with automatic employment, scholarship, or sufficient cash gifts.
These days the people who get cash rewards are the likes of Peller and Carter Efe, who spend a better part of their daily hours playing folly on live camera.
Even to reward intellectual content with some engagements on X, Nigerians would rather camp on Ruth or Seun’s comments for some mentally-degrading bants.
The culture of intellectualism, where intelligence, morality, and core values are celebrated, is rapidly fading away, and being replaced by that of loud ignorance and immorality.
Hope this helps.✍️
Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.
It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.
Olodo uprising 😭😭
It’s really a pandemic out here.
The onslaught on literacy in +234 is alarming and carefully orchestrated.
A docile herd is easier to control.
YCEE spoke facts !!!!
Fulanis are protecting fulanis, they said don't touch them they our children but in South East and South South we are betraying ourselves because of money, appointment and promises.

The Nigeria Police Force claims that the reported video was misleading. That the heavily armed men on bikes were members of a Vigilante Group and registered hunters. Pls @PoliceNG explain to us:
1. How a vigilante group is allowed to wear an army uniform.
2. Why a vigilante group is carrying heavy machine gvns.
3. Why some are masked up and don't have recognized uniforms like all vigilante groups in Nigeria.
4. Why the people in the video are loud and constituting a nuisance on roads.
Now since you claim these people are hunters, why are they allowed to posses machine guns that isn't authorized for civilians?
Once again, explain to the public why a vigilante or hunter is on army camouflage.
