"Corrupt African Leaders" And Trump's New Policy Of Encouragement

When government corruption and illicit financial flows are discussed in Africa, attention is always disproportionately focused on the well-known local faces and culprits, often with the explicit or implicit inferrence that these are problems originating from Africa, as against the western jurisdictions that often benefit from them.

A recent policy decision from the US Treasury Department should dispel this myth once and for all. @Big_Mck outlines what this policy is and what it means.

In today's episode of "everyday that France isn't doused in sulphuric acid and shot into space is an indictment on the human race", we have the Thiaroye Massacre, where Senegalese soldiers were conscripted to fight for France, then shot by the French afterward to avoid paying them.

They Fought For France In World War II, Then France Murdered Them

The World Anti-Fascist War – more commonly and misleadingly known as “World War II” – saw more than 1 million Africans fighting and dying for the West, fighting and dying for the parasitic entity that took everything away from them, in a war they neither started nor asked for.

In this report for The Spearhead, @okorieuche_ sheds light on one of the most chilling chapters in this saga, when France repaid hundreds of African men who had served in its ranks, by murdering them all.

You may be knowledgeable, but you are incapable of disseminating wisdom, if you have not retained the capacity to learn, to unlearn, and to admit to ignorance, when you know that you don’t know. You must know what you don’t know..🇳🇬🤔

The Veil Of Western Hypocrisy Is Off

For generations, much of the Global South was taught to see the West as the moral authority on justice and international law, but from Palestine and the DR Congo to the Epstein files, the contradictions are becoming harder to ignore.

[Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria @DeleFarotimi]

You actually expect America to release their man’s criminal record? Your MUMU is overripe. America is a principal beneficiary of Nigeria’s ruination, and you are the fool for believing that ANY American regime, Democrat or Conservative, cares anything about us..🇳🇬🤬

N500,000 x 12 is N6,000,000.

Now let’s do this mathematics based on the fact that you have nor other income source.

Remove N1.5m (rent) from it, that’s N4.5M left.

Remove your feeding for 1 year.

Remove money for servicing your car for one year, if you have a car, otherwise remove money for transportation.

Let’s say you work in Wuse, your cheapest public transport fare is ~N2k daily. Your transportation will gulp nearly a million Naira in one year.

Try uber (which is considered befitting for a big boy who earns N500k a month) and let’s see.

Add a wife to the equation.

Now, let’s add two children.

Let’s say you have one health emergency per annum. Just one o.

Include your miscellaneous, whatever items that might be, say, helping out extended family or some weekend flexing.

Now look at the lifestyle some of you “middle class” lead, and tell me if N500k a month (as the only income) can power that.

Continue deceiving yourselves.

1.) Does the Nigerian Embassy in the UK go about pretending to be expert in UK elections and releasing statements with each election down to council ones?

2.) Does the Nigerian Embassy in the Uk literally direct UK Civil Society Organizations?

As a Nigerian, you must answer these questions before concluding that your country is sovereign. And if your country still remains a colony of another state, how exactly do you expect it to work for you?

By the way, you see the organization tagged in this post, “Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room,” it is the same organization which sponsors almost every protest in Nigeria, including the last one, Occupy NASS, to which Peter Obi and other so called opposition figures showed up and were hailed for doing so.

You now understand why such protests usually end up achieving nothing. The UK mission in Nigeria is in charge of your agitations.

Oh, Jesus wept.

North Korea Has Always Stood With Africa

To many Africans who follow Western news, North Korea is a very bad country, but of that number, few dare to ask themselves why they actually believe the West’s verdict about North Korea.

What truth, beyond the talking points repeated and imagery presented by Western media, supports this narrative?

And does our own history as Africans offer any basis for buying into it?

In this report, The Spearhead challenges the Western narrative about North Korea by highlighting 3 material contributions that the country has made to Africa, and the inspiring stories behind them.

When does a job listing from the US embassy stop being a career opportunity and turn into an invitation to commit espionage and criminal activity on behalf of the US in your country?

Before you celebrate Davido’s family victory as your victory or before you join the city boy movement without even realizing it, WATCH this.

Also, before insulting me, make sure you watch to the end, so that you know exactly what you are insulting me about- because whatever you think my position is, it’s much “worse.”

My latest for the @Spearhead_Af

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

History has it that in the early 1990s, after the breakup of the Soviet Union, at the time when war between NATO and North Korea was looking like a real possibility, North Korean supreme leader Kim Il-Sung called his top generals together for a meeting to discuss strategy for a war against the USA.

After hours discussing the nuts and bolts of prosecuting this war, Kim asked everyone in the room a question that they did not know how to answer. He asked, "What if we lose? What will we do if we lose?"

The generals didn't want to answer this question because to do so, which would be to acknowledge the possibility of losing might be interpreted as disloyalty or even treason. At the same time, "We cannot possibly lose" was not a useful answer, and Kim certainly wasn't looking for delusional optimism in his military commanders.

Kim's son, Kim Jong-Il, who was present at the meeting, was the only person who spoke up. His answer was simple: "If we lose, I will make sure to destroy the world. What good is a world without North Korea?" And this was the answer that satisfied Kim Snr and became part of the foundational ethos of the Kim dynasty and North Korea to this day.

Regardless of whatever moral issue one might have with North Korea planning to basically destroy the world in a giant tantrum if a hypothetical war does not go its way, I have always found something deeply compelling and somewhat admirable about North Korea seeing itself as the centre of the world.

If the inhabitants of that patch of cold, rocky land that is poor in natural resources and seemingly condemned by geography to eternal poverty and irrelevance can see themselves not only as a key part of the world, but as *centrally important* to it, then why do the inhabitants of the planet's most fought-over continent, bursting from Cairo to Cape with every sort of desirable resource known to man, struggle to see themselves as main characters in the world?

Between themselves, Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong-Il, and Kim Jong-Un turned a barely-hospitable corner of East Asian into an impregnable, nuclear-armed fortress that absolutely nobody dares to take levities with. Unlike Africa, they have no huge amounts of gold, bauxite, oil, coltan, diamonds, copper, arable land, or sunlight.

In a world where independence and sovereignty are only guaranteed by nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles, they built those things out of Kimchi, rough potatoes, and sheer willpower. Nobody particularly *wants* North Korean territory - its most valuable geographical asset is its border with China - yet it sees itself as not just a key player on the gloval stage, but the world's *main character.*

Meanwhile in Africa - the continent that supplies *everything* to the world and also controls the 2 most important shipping lanes in global trade (Gulf of Aden & Suez Canal) - nobody here seems to believe that they are part of the world, let alone among its main characters. The president of its most populous country is a CIA asset, and that country's citizens are not especially bothered by this. It does not fund its own continental union (only 16% of the AU's annual budget comes from Africa).

It has no continental defence strategy. It plans to integrate its 54 economies by 2063, when most people reading this will be long dead. It can't even implement its own open-skies agreement, so it is cheaper to fly to Europe and Asia than to fly within Africa. It has no real priorities, and it is never in a hurry to get anything done.

If Kim Il-Sung had African generals at that meeting in 1991 and he asked them the same question Kim Jong-Il answered, their answer would probably have been something like, "We'll propose terms of surrender with a soft landing for ourselves and our families."

Africans deep down haven't recovered from the psychological effects of multi-century slavery and colonisation, and as such, appear truly incapable of perceiving themselves as the main characters - even in their own stories...

The same country building this data centre is currently funding NGOs in Kilimani to tell you not to build an oil refinery in Lamu.

They think you have the intelligence of a rhesus monkey, and well, you have the opportunity to prove them right.
