Africa does not need intellectuals who simply translate Western thinking into African languages. We need scholars who begin with African experiences, challenge inherited assumptions, and produce ideas capable of changing the material conditions of our people.

The right information always finds its way to me 🙂‍↕️💅🏾

Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug. You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form. You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages. You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution. You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis. You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from. Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.

This take is why we’re in the worst era of mainstream rap

Kenya is unlikely to get a new IMF deal before the August 2027 elections. The IMF is concerned that a new government could change the policies agreed under the deal.

Aki Wakenya! 🤣🤣

🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾

It has emerged that key documents, including the signed agreement for Dangote’s Sh2.2 trillion Lamu refinery, have not been made public as required by Kenyan law, despite Wednesday’s groundbreaking.

Empathy is not owed to oppressors. Mourning is not mandatory!

Don't threaten us with a good time😂

Jailing another country's president for breaking US law while refusing to hold the US president accountable for breaking US law is strange.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in August 2025 & I've been in treatment. We've seen a 70% reduction of the tumour. We still have a ways to remission. If you see this & you're able to, please help me regain my health &beat this. Nothing is too small. TIA mchanga.africa/fundraiser/12…

I just wish more Kenyans could see that David Maraga is the best presidential candidate.

It’s your civic duty to not fuel at a Stabex.

No wonder we don't get the best deals out there in international boardrooms. How can we, if the best we can send to represent and negotiate on behalf of Kenya are ICC suspects, NYS scammers, drug lords, and generally economic saboteurs? 🤔

Sifuna should just work with Maraga and seal this deal. Once and for all.
