WWIII is Forcing Africa to Rise Higher than Ever

Greetings Reader–

Could you be as obsessed with IShowSpeed as we are? While Moroccans put their shameful levels of anti-Blackness on display for the world to see, this 21-year-old single-handedly endeared the African continent to 50 million plus viewers.

That’s more than the total reported number of Black Americans. More than the claimed size of the Yoruba Diaspora. Let that sink in.

Speed Rewrites the Narrative

From Algeria to Namibia, from Lagos to Jo'burg, 50 million global viewers are re-introduced to the Cradle of Humanity.

The Africa IShowSpeed put on display is the Africa that leaders like Ibrahim Traore and the Sahel Alliance are fighting to preserve, nurture and amplify. Last week, Traore’s government was finally successful at extraditing the man who keeps working with imperialists to attempt to assassinate him.

Burkina Extradites African Traitor

The man allegedly behind the several coup attempts, was arrested in Togo last week.

Conspicuously absent from the West’s biggest self-aggrandizing political “party”, Davos, Traore represents the growing bloc of Africans who couldn’t care less about validation from the enemy.

An enemy committed to destroying lives from Gaza to Minneapolis. From Sudan to Venezuela. From Kano to Brazil.

Adherents to the Black Panther Party’s politics thought for a moment we’d see a revival of 60s-level anti-fascist militancy. But alas—confusion, ego and disunity killed the dream quicker than you can say Ten-Point Program.

The Black Panther Party Almost Comes Back

The Paul Birdsong controversy awakens us to something deeper than naming rights.

50 Greatest Nigerian Love Songs

Greetings Reader– I hope you're feeling the love today. I came across this list just now and thought it was too special not to share. Substacker Ayomide Tayo and team published a list of Nigeria's 50 Greatest Love Songs for The Naija Way. Many of them have inevitably traveled around the world, becoming favorites for non-Nigerians in far nooks and crannies of the globe. It reminded me of the power of music as a tool of diplomacy, relational intimacy, cultural ambassadorship... My favorite made...
