The Scottsboro Boys were nine black teenagers ages 13 to 20, who were falsely accused in 1931 of r@ping two white women on a train."

"An all whıte jury found the young men guilty, although the women eventually admitted to lying about the r@pe."

"The youngest of the boys was blind, and was born with syphilis... proving the boys could not have r@ped the women without spreading the disease."

Further noting.

"The Scottsboro Boys collectively served more than 100 years in prison. Only one of the men survived after serving several decades in prison to later be exonerated."

He dıed shortly after he was released from prison."

IF YOU’RE BLACK, READ THIS HIDDEN HISTORY

A one-eyed African queen fought Rome to a standstill, and then took the head off a statue of the Emperor Augustus and buried it under the steps of her temple.

So that every worshipper walking in would step on the emperor's face.

Amanirenas of Kush. She ruled the kingdom of Kush, in what is now Sudan, around 24 BC.

When Rome pushed south and imposed taxes, she attacked Roman Egypt, sacked towns, and carried off imperial statues.

Rome came back hard and burned her city. She kept fighting. Eventually she sent envoys to Augustus himself, and the terms she obtained were remarkable: the taxes were cancelled and the border was pulled back.

Rome negotiated. Rome, at the height of its power, negotiated with her, and then largely left Kush alone.

And the bronze head she had taken stayed buried under that temple threshold for nearly two thousand years, until archaeologists dug it up in 1910.

It sits in the British Museum today — which means Augustus has now been taken twice.

She lost an eye in battle and Roman writers called her the one-eyed queen, as if that were the notable thing about a woman who made an empire back down.

If you can't see what this is, the CIA has you exactly where they want.

There are millions of poor homeless people in the USA but this man's not building houses for them and you're not asking why. This is the reason why they'll always win, because Africans are too gullible.

[𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥 @SankaraDispatch]

King Leopold II of Belgium did this to innocent children in the Congo.

From 1885 to 1908, he ruled the Congo Free State as his personal possession—not as a Belgian colony, but as a private empire built on the extraction of ivory and rubber.

Congolese communities were subjected to forced labour and brutal rubber quotas.

Those who resisted or failed to meet them faced collective punishment. Villages were burned, people were killed, women and children were raped and taken hostage, and soldiers were notorious for cutting off the hands of victims.

The human cost was catastrophic. Over 10 Million innocent Congolese people were killed during Leopold's rule.

They died through executions, forced labour, starvation, disease and exhaustion.

Missionaries and other witnesses documented the atrocities and helped expose what was happening.

International outrage eventually became so intense that Belgium was forced to take control of the Congo Free State in 1908.

Leopold died the following year.

He was buried in the Church of Our Lady of Laeken, in Brussels. Yes, a Church !

And here is the craziest audacity: Belgium continued to honour him with monuments.

There have been Leopold II statues and memorials in Brussels, Ostend, Arlon, Antwerp and Ghent, among other Belgian locations.

Even more disturbing, the Brussels monument was made from copper and tin stolen from the Congo itself.

Some monuments have since been removed.

But the fact remains:

A man whose regime presided over the deaths and devastation of millions of Congolese was turned into a national symbol and celebrated with statues across Belgium.

Imagine the audacity.

Europe remembers the buildings Leopold financed.

The Congo remembers the hands, the bodies and the children. 🇨🇩

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

Most stories here end with a Black man murdered by a mob. This one is different — and that's exactly why it terrified white New Orleans.

After police assaulted him without cause, Robert Charles fought back, killing several officers in self-defense over the following days while evading a manhunt of thousands.

When they finally cornered him, he held off the mob alone before being killed. White rioters then turned on random Black residents across the city for days in revenge.

The violence didn't end with the man they were hunting. We documented this case alongside others in our book, 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For

One of the more remarkable early free Black entrepreneurs in America was Yarrow Mamout, a Fulani man from Guinea, West Africa. Enslaved for 44 years after arriving in Maryland in 1752, he was manumitted in 1796 at age 60. He used his savings to buy his young son’s freedom, later purchased a house and lot in Georgetown, became an early shareholder in the Columbia Bank.
The community of Yarrowsburg, Md is named after his son. One of his descendants was the first Black American to attend Harvard University.

How did Africa go from fighting against colonialism and imperialism to collaborating with Neocolonialism/Neoimperialism?
We need deeply critical, urgent, and analytical view of internal agents who facilitate external imperialism in Africa.

[Up NaTion 💡 @emmycoins21]

They called it a “riot” because colonial power controlled the language of history. But from the Igbo perspective, it was resistance.

In 1929, thousands of Igbo women organized, mobilized, and confronted a colonial system that threatened their livelihoods, political autonomy, and communities. The resistance that began around Owerri and Aba spread across parts of southeastern Nigeria and exposed the determination of African women to defend their rights.

Madam Nwanyeruwa and the women who stood with her were not simply “rioters.” They were women who challenged an unjust colonial order ...and paid a heavy price.
History should remember them not through the vocabulary of the empire, but through the courage of the people who resisted it. 🖤✊🏿🇳🇬

[Nnamdi Obi @nnamdiobiii]

The refusal to believe or agree that foreign powers wield more power in Nigeria and we are not sovereign is just the Nigerian way of pretending to be in control even though you know you are helpless.

The no gree for anybody attitude even though you already agreed.

We want to believe so badly that we have agency meanwhile our hands are tied and we are getting fucked in the anus from different rapists.

Just picture this, you are in a burning house and you noticed that the house was burning because your big bro kept lighting the curtains with fire.

You tried pouring water but the fire wasn’t stopping and you pinned your brother down so as to avoid escalation.

But the fire still didn’t stop and then you looked out and saw a total stranger pouring fuel into the house. And he has been the one pouring the fuel which is why your water had little effect

Would you ignore him and focus on your brother or you would find a way to unalive the stranger and then come back to handle your brother.

Mind you, your neighbors had managed to chase the stranger away.

Incase you don’t understand

Nigeria is on fire
Your brother = politicians
Stranger= the CIA you’re ignoring and other foreign entities
Your neighbors- the AES alliance

Ignoring the stranger with fire and focusing solely on your brother, doesn’t make you smart.

Infact it assures your death.

If you doubt me ask Gadaffi

Ohhh sorry - he’s gone

It has come to our attention that Ibrahim Modibbo Sanusi (@ModibboSanusi )was reportedly arrested this night by security operatives. We are closely monitoring the situation and calling on the relevant authorities to provide immediate clarification regarding his arrest and whereabouts.

Greed, Ambition, Deceit or Entitlement: What Truly Happened Between El-Rufai and the Three Judases? - @ModibboSanusi

Having followed Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai’s political journey since 2014, I find the claims by Bashir Saidu, Jafaru Sani and Abdu Kwari that they made El-Rufai politically successful but received neither appreciation nor reciprocal loyalty to be both factually and historically false.

The narrative overlooks a fundamental reality: El-Rufai’s political career did not depend on these three men. However, their political advancement completely depended on the opportunities he created for them.

Before their association with El-Rufai became publicly established, none of the three had a prominent position in Kaduna’s broader political arena comparable to the influence they later acquired.
Bashir Saidu’s case is particularly significant. His appointment as the Kaduna APC party secretary in 2014 and subsequent emergence as Chief of Staff after El-Rufai won the governorship were not the result of documented contributions that made El-Rufai who he was. Rather, Bashir benefited from just being an old friend and schoolmate of El-Rufai, a longstanding relationship with someone who had already served as Executive Secretary of the Bureau of Public Enterprises and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

While Bashir was just a serial dismissed FG employee, which by Nigerian law meant Bashir could not be appointed by the state or FG, El-Rufai reportedly pleaded with the State Assembly to confirm him as his CoS. This intervention demonstrates the extent of personal sacrifice El-Rufai was willing to extend to a friend an act that should not now be rewritten as though Bashir created El-Rufai’s political career.

Jafaru Sani and Abdu Kwari likewise benefited from appointments and political opportunities under El-Rufai’s leadership. Their service may be acknowledged, but it does not establish that they were responsible for El-Rufai’s political success or that he was indebted to them for his position.
Kwari’s appointment was part of the slot given to Rt. Hon. Isa Ashiru Kudan by El-Rufai after winning the 2015 election, while Jafaru, who was a Permanent Secretary under Ramalan and took part in the persecution and imprisonment of some El-Rufai supporters, submitted his CV and got appointed by El-Rufai as a commissioner without even knowing him personally, but by El-Rufai’s strict policy of skills and competence over relationships. The same reason El-Rufai is not blindly supporting Jafaru’s bid for the ticket against Isa Ashiru, who is a better politician, more popular and more experienced.

The circumstances surrounding their departure raise further questions. El-Rufai is no longer in power and has faced detention and legal challenges. Bashir Saidu and Jafaru Sani, who are among the few people to be accused of corruption in El-Rufai’s camp, have also faced their legal circumstances, which form part of the broader political context. Claims that the defections were motivated by a desire for political protection or a softer landing require further consideration.

Also, the ADC governorship primary provides another important point of analysis. El-Rufai reportedly promised coalition members that he would not impose a candidate. The inability to secure the nomination for Jafaru Sani, whether through an imposed arrangement or control of the primary process, appears to have given the final motivation to join the ruling party.
That outcome raises questions about the expectations of those who sought to influence the nomination process and whether their political calculations were aligned with the broader coalition’s interests.
Ultimately, political loyalty should not be measured solely by the service one gives, but by including the positions one receives or the influence one exercises while a leader is in power. Nor should political disagreements justify rewriting history.

Ifeanyi, please learn to compare apples to apples.

Egypt's population: ~120 million
Nigeria's population: 232.4 million

Arable Land:
Egypt: 3.1% - 4.2% (as per the World Bank)
Nigeria: 37% - 40% (About 10 times that of Egypt)

Mineral Resources: Don't even go there.

They do not have the same effect if electricity is cut off.

If I were the CIA and I actually planned to destabilise an economy for my benefit, Nigeria is a stronger candidate.

With that said, the CIA being responsible for cutting off electricity in Nigeria is an over-simplification of the problem.
Yet, you still don't understand it.

Maybe we should change the lyrics of "Baby Shark doo doo..." for you?
