Africa's Role Weighing Putin's Deal And Ukraine Peace

Africa’s Role: Weighing Putin’s Deal And Ukraine Peace

July 31, 2023 3:34 am

As the two-day Russia-Africa summit came to close, African leaders wrestled with unmet expectations, fluctuating grain agreements, and an incessant conflict in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin provided nebulous commitments, leaving Africa, caught in the crossfire of global politics, on the brink of reassessing its diplomatic strategies. Amidst economic challenges and a convoluted political landscape, Africa’s role in facilitating peace in Ukraine and protecting its interests has become more crucial than ever.

The Russia-Africa summit, a tumultuous panorama of political posturing and complex negotiations, has ended with an air of palpable uncertainty. African leaders now find themselves standing at a …

Organised Religion In Africa: A Masked Fraudulence

Organised Religion In Africa: A Masked Fraudulence

July 31, 2023 3:30 am

Africa, a land revered for its cultural richness and historical complexity, finds itself quietly ensnared in a financial paradox of epic proportions. From 2013 to 2022, a ten-year span, African countries have poured an astronomical $26.5 billion into religious pilgrimages, as revealed by the Pew Research Center. This startling expenditure starkly contrasts with the reality of 460 million Africans living below the poverty line, barely managing to afford basic necessities. The time has come to peel back the layers of organised religion in Africa, a seemingly untouchable institution that, upon closer scrutiny, appears as a carefully constructed façade of exploitation, …

Neo-Colonialism Unmasking Western Hypocrisy In Africa

Neo-Colonialism: Unmasking Western Hypocrisy In Africa

July 31, 2023 3:25 am

The complexities of this neocolonial dance are nuanced, often manifested through sophisticated social engineering mechanisms that surreptitiously safeguard Western economic dominance.

Social engineering, a term synonymous with the deliberate manipulation of social attitudes and behaviours, has become the West’s Trojan horse …

Nigeria's Crisis Gov't Missteps, Not Ekpa, Fuel Sit-At-Home

Nigeria’s Crisis: Gov’t Missteps, Not Ekpa, Fuel Sit-At-Home

July 31, 2023 3:14 am

Nigeria’s Southeast region stands on the brink, shackled by increasing unrest. Yet, the government’s narrative of blame towards Simon Ekpa, a prominent figure in a Biafran faction, serves as a smokescreen, obscuring the real instigator of the crisis – the government itself.

The flashpoint of this crisis is the continuous, illegal detention of the Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The Nigerian government, in an audacious affront to international law, extrajudicially renditioned Kanu from Kenya in 2021.
