  • Why North Africans are angry I told the truth
    Jan 26 2026

    Alkebulanians,

    In this episode, I address the intense backlash regarding my comments on North Africa when I pushed back against a video of a Moroccan woman gaslighting black Africans about her African identity.

    I break down the historical truth of Arab invasions versus indigenous origins to dismantle such rhetoric directed at Black Africans, arguing that true unity is impossible until we face these uncomfortable historical facts head-on.

  • Stop Celebrating African Independence: We Are Not Free
    Jan 23 2026

    Make sure to watch my walk and talk about the scam of African Independence below.

    In this episode, I argue that African independence was a complete hoax designed to pacify us while Western control deepened, citing the recent wave of "fake coups" as proof.

    I also challenge the community to break the myth that "Africans don't read" by cancelling their Netflix subscriptions to support Pan-African platforms, and I discuss with my subscribers why my upcoming school will reject Western accreditation to remain truly free.

  • Why Captain Traoré’s "Friends" could be his real ENEMY
    Jan 14 2026

    Alkebulanians,

    In this midweek show:

    MAIN SHOW

    Captain Traore and the Sahel President’s Safety

    SUMMARY

    After the recent coup attempt on Captain Traore of Burkina Faso, I had a thought.

    Who are his real friends?

    He faces an unprecedented threat level in Burkina Faso, with unofficial reports suggesting up to 22 assassination attempts in just three years, prompting my belief the President of the Sahel needs to be more afraid of his "friends" than his enemies.

    I examine the historical betrayal of leaders like Thomas Sankara and Patrice Lumumba to highlight warning signs for AES leaders Assimi Goïta and General Tiani, while establishing a community "red line" against future coups and celebrating ignored AES wins like new digital IDs.
