Chase the west away from Africa, and see the Africa rise to greatest heights

NIGER'S ECONOMY SOARS AFTER CHASING FRANCE AWAY.

Niger's economy has rebounded strongly, growing from 2.0% in 2023 to 8.4% in 2024. Since the recent political shift, the size of Niger’s GDP has increased from $17.0 billion in 2023 to $19.5 billion in 2024.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

GDP Growth: From 2.0% in 2023 to 8.4% in 2024.

Per Capita GDP Growth: Increased from 2.0% to 4.9% per capita.

Export Growth: Exports, particularly oil, saw a significant increase of around 48%.

Current Account Deficit: Declined from 9.3% to 6.2% of GDP.

This stats are from the evil world Bank themselves, it wasn't cooked by some media frenzy

All of this was achieved without your bloody democracy that the west has been shoving off your country's neck for decades.

More importantly, this only happened when they chased out France(the West) from their country.

This demonstrates what can happen when a nation asserts its sovereignty and removes foreign interference.

I don't know what the moral of the story is, but your guess is as good mine.
But Africa needs function, not democracy, which is what is happening now in AES countries.

The age of Western media propaganda in Africa is over

WHITE PRIVILEGE IN PRINT: THE WASHINGTON POST’S TANTRUM OVER CAPTAIN IBRAHIM TRAORÉ

When the Washington Post sat down to write about Captain Ibrahim Traoré, they did not write an article, they wrote a tantrum. The entire “article” drips with wounded entitlement. Their biggest grievance wasn’t facts on the ground, not policy, not results. No, their sore spot was that the 36-year-old Pan-African leader refuses to sit with them, refuses to answer their questions, refuses to bow to their white-owned pulpit. And for a Western newsroom that still imagines itself the judge of Africa, that silence is unforgivable.

That wounded ego is the real story here. A Western paper that once cheered on coups and invasions across Africa now cries because an African leader will not grant them an interview.

But this fury reveals more about the Washington Post than it does about Burkina Faso. It exposes the arrogance of a colonial press that believes it has the right to define African leaders, movements, and nations. To them, Africa must always explain itself before Western juries. They cannot stand an African leader who doesn’t beg for their validation.

Captain Traoré has a deliberate policy of not pandering to Western outlets. He has made it clear that Burkina Faso’s story will not be filtered through the same colonial eyes that cheered when Sankara was assassinated or when Gaddafi was lynched. The Washington Post knows this. Yet they still expect him to break his principle for their approval. Why? Because deep down, they believe Africa still owes them an explanation.

Traoré’s refusal to feed their propaganda machine is their real pain. It’s on print that Traoré has made a deliberate choice: Western media is not the stage for African sovereignty. He made it clear that he will not play their game. His silence is a weapon, a shield against propaganda, a rejection of the same outlets that justified colonial plunder, assassinations, coups, and invasions.

And you notice the game they play — the minute an African leader rises with dignity, refuses to bow, and starts working genuinely for his people, the Western press pulls out its favorite weapon: “Russia propaganda.” Overnight, the man becomes a “Kremlin puppet,” not because he has any Moscow connection, but because he dares to break free from Paris, London, and Washington. They fear sovereignty more than anything else. They would rather see Africa burn under their stooges than see it rise under its own sons.

Just look at African Stream. A Pan-African media platform built to tell Africa’s story from Africa’s perspective — de-platformed by the U.S. government and Silicon Valley gatekeepers, branded as “Russian disinformation” simply because it exposes Western hypocrisy. The same way they blacklist voices, they blacklist leaders. Their fear is not Russia; their fear is a free Africa controlling its own narrative.

Look around the continent, especially Burkina Faso’s neighbors. Paul Biya has been in power in Cameroon for over 42 years. The man is literally bedridden, old enough to be a great-grandfather to the youths he rules over, yet he is shamelessly preparing to contest again in 2025. Where are the fiery editorials from Washington Post or New York Times about this absurdity? Where is the outrage? There is none — because Biya is their man, a Western-approved dictator who has signed off his people’s future in exchange for their silence.

In Togo, Faure Gnassingbé has sat in power for nearly 20 years, after inheriting the presidency from his father who ruled for 38 years. A family dynasty in the 21st century, yet the West never screams “democracy in danger.”

In Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara broke the constitution to cling to a third term, sparking bloodshed in 2020, but still, he remains their darling. Why? Because he is “investor-friendly” — meaning friendly to French interests, friendly to Western plunder.

So why is Captain Ibrahim Traoré singled out? Why is every Western headline sharpening its knives against him? The answer is simple: because he refuses to be a puppet. Because he closed the gates of Burkina Faso to neocolonial manipulation. Because he speaks of Pan-African sovereignty, not Western aid dependency. Because he embodies the nightmare of the West — an African leader young enough to unite the next generation, brave enough to resist foreign dictates, and conscious enough to reject the poisoned handshakes of empire.

The Post calls him “authoritarian,” but what they will not print is that under his leadership, as reported by World Bank, Burkina Faso’s poverty rate is falling, security is stabilizing, and the youth are reclaiming hope in their own destiny.

According to the World Bank’s April 2025 Economic Update, Burkina Faso’s GDP surged to 4.9 % in 2024, per capita growth reached 2.5 %, inflation rose to 4.2 %, and extreme poverty dropped by 3 percentage points to 23.2 % — hardly the collapse expected from a so-called ‘strongman’ just months in power.

These facts are inconvenient to their narrative, because they do not fit the script of “African strongman” that Western editors are addicted to.

And this is where their hypocrisy bleeds through. Western leaders can bomb entire countries into the Stone Age, spy on the whole world, install puppet regimes, and bankroll genocides, yet their press never brands them as “authoritarian.” But let an African leader refuse to grant them a mere interview, and suddenly democracy is at risk. That screams foul journalism and white privilege in print.

They rage because they are losing control of the African story. For decades, their media empires were the loudspeakers of empire, the unquestioned narrators of who was “dictator” and who was “reformer.” Their words destroyed leaders like Lumumba, demonized Sankara, and cheered the lynching of Gaddafi. They thought the game would last forever.

But Africa has changed. Africans now know better. We have seen through the tricks, the labels, the headlines carefully manufactured to weaken resistance and glorify collaborators.

The youth of Africa no longer wait for the Washington Post or BBC or CNN to tell them who their leaders are. They are writing their own narratives on African soil, in African voices, for African futures.

This is why Traoré’s silence terrifies them. Because every day he refuses their stage, their grip on the African mind weakens. Every month their propaganda fails to move the people, their empire trembles. They know the days of manipulating Africa through headlines are over.

The Washington Post’s fury is proof of a dying order. It is the scream of an old empire watching its mask fall apart. They can write a thousand editorials, they can shout “authoritarian” from the rooftops, they can sulk over unanswered questions — but it will not change the truth.

The truth is that Western media no longer has power over Africa. The truth is that Africans are awake now, and propaganda no longer lands the way it use to. The truth is that the new Africa cannot be shamed back into submission by colonial ink.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s silence has said it all: the age of Western media manipulation is finished on African soil. Africans know better now. We are our own narrators, and no tantrum in Washington can change that.

So let’s flip the question. Why on earth should Captain Traoré explain himself to a newspaper from a country that is constantly bombarding Sudan, orchestrated coups in Ghana, assassinations in Congo, and invasions in Libya and Iraq?

Why should he bow to a media empire that has always justified imperialism under the banner of “freedom”?

The Washington Post’s article isn’t about democracy. It’s about control. It’s about the fury of a colonial mindset faced with rejection. And it proves the point Traoré makes without saying a word: the West cannot stand a free Africa.

Traoré is the new face of Pan-African leadership. And no tantrum in the Washington Post will change that. The pen of empire is broken, and Africa will never again bow to the manipulative headlines.

THE BIBLE SAYS AND MEAN NOTHING!

The funniest, yet stupid and dumbest thing Christians do is using the Bible to prove the authenticity of the same Bible.

It is like saying that the authenticity of chemistry or physics textbooks are the mathematical formulas or the chemical formulas contained there in!

Does that make sense to you?

Meanwhile, the Bible in itself doesn't say anything, the only thing the Bible says is what we interpret and agree it says.

So the Bible in itself has no inherent meaning and authority.

That is the meaning of "the word of God is new every morning"

As people are making new interpretations daily to same old text, new meaning are being attached to the same old text there by making it new.

The alleged holy Spirit has no hands in making the word of God new every morning as Christians generally believe.

Christians are the authority of the Bible and their interpretations and agreements in the text there off is what the Bible says.

The Bible says nothing and mean nothing!

The Bible says what we say, and mean what we mean!

You may need to read this more than once to understand it.

"If you go to church, the church must become a venue which produces spiritual people rather than Christians...

And the fact that you are Christian, doesn't mean you are spiritual.

Being spiritual is the ability of a person to interact at a higher level of life; the spiritual life.

When you and God are in harmony."

Bible was inspired by God, okay!

So God took out time to tell us everything about Satan in details, but never mentioned one good thing that Satan did...

But God took out time to details us many good things he did and how loving and good himself is!

We wouldn't have known Satan if God didn't tell us about him...

All that we know about Satan was revealed to us in the Bible by God, not Satan...

Kweshen??

Why is Satan so important to God, that he's the one marketing him to humans?

But Satan never bothered to say anything about himself, yet humanity fears him more than God...

Why did God make Satan invisible to humans?

Why is God protecting Satan more than humans?

This is a great exposé and a must read for Ghanaians and Nigerians

GHANA'S ALIEN COMPLIANCE ORDER AND THE EMPIRE'S OLD PLAYBOOK ABOUT TO BE RE-EXECUTED

As I looked at this attached image, I quickly swung into a rollercoaster of cold emotions mixed with rage and anger, especially at a spiritual level Nkrumah himself may have felt when this image was captured in Beijing (Peking), China, on February 24, 1966.

Because this wasn’t just the day of his overthrow, it was the day the Empire proved that coups are not accidents, they are instructions carried out by loyal servants of the West. The Ghanaian soil had barely cooled from the boots of colonial officers when their African puppets picked up the whip. And within months, the “Alien Compliance Order” was unleashed, a weaponized piece of policy straight from the imperial playbook, used for centuries to fracture economies, destabilize trade routes, and turn Africans against Africans.

They want you to believe history is dead, that the ugly pages of our past have been buried, never to be opened again. But the Empire never throws away a winning playbook. It archives it, refines it, and waits for the perfect moment to run it again. Ghana’s Alien Compliance Order of 1969 wasn’t just a “policy.” It was an economic purge disguised as nationalism, a cold, calculated strike that uprooted over 2 million West Africans, mostly Nigerians, and shattered communities that had stood for generations.

It was a move ripped straight from the colonial manual: divide the people, starve their economies, and seed hostility between neighbors so deep that unity becomes impossible. And today, as Ghana and the Sahel region rises on economic strength, sovereign decision-making, and genuine nationalism free from manipulation, we are seeing the same strategy dusted off and redeployed, not with the same names, but with the same intention.

So, welcome to Alien Compliance Order 2.0, but before we discuss that let's rewind to Alien Compliance Order 1.0.

Now, what then is the Alien Compliance Order?

It is a CIA and IMF written Ghana economic and diplomatic relationship destruction plan ordering all "aliens" (non-Ghanaian citizens) without valid residence permits to leave the country within a specified timeframe, prior to this time, residential permit wasn't a big deal to reside in Ghana, since Nkrumah is a Pan-African who sees all Africans as one.

In 1966, the CIA, with British supported coup, overthrew Kwame Nkrumah. That wasn’t a mere coup, it was a surgical demolition of African sovereignty. Nkrumah had dared to build an independent Pan-African path, nationalize Ghana’s economy, and resist neocolonial interference. He built Akosombo Dam, Ghana Airways, Tema Port, and refused IMF conditionalities. For that, he was marked for removal.

The West executed what they do best, economic strangulation, covert funding of opposition, infiltration of the military, and psychological warfare through the media.

In the same 1966, while Nkrumah was away on a peace mission to Vietnam, a CIA-backed military coup overthrew his government. The evidence is no longer theory. Declassified U.S. documents admit it: the CIA had been monitoring Nkrumah’s Pan-African activities and considered him a threat to Western interests.

What replaced him was a series of unstable, Western-aligned military and puppet governments. The economy was stripped, debt soared, industries collapsed. The “ALIEN COMPLIANCE ORDER” introduced in 1969 under Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia, which ruined hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of thriving businesses, wasn’t just xenophobic nationalism, it was part of a broader strategy to destroy African unity, turning neighbors into enemies.

There was the good old days, a time when Africa was one. When Kwame Nkrumah became Prime Minister and later President of Ghana, he called on all Africans to come and invest in Ghana. Ghana was open to the continent, open for business.
Nigerians, particularly wealthy businessmen, answered that call. At that time, Nigerians made up about 90% of the foreign investors in Ghana. Out of 2.5 million foreigners in Ghana, around 2 million were Nigerians. They invested heavily in cocoa, infrastructure, manufacturing, transportation, and more.

Ghana under Nkrumah was economically stable, resource-rich, and in the middle of a bold industrialization plan, before the CIA-backed coup in 1966 cut these plans short, pivoting Ghana toward IMF/World Bank economic models, which reversed much of the early progress and economically destroyed Ghana. And till date, Ghana is yet to recover from it.

Nkrumah was overthrown by Kotoka and others, Busia came into power. The western sponsored puppet Busia, a staunch opponent of Nkrumah took power and was tasked to dismantle all of Nkrumah’s policies. One of which was to introduce the Alien Compliance Order.

That order targeted foreigners, knowing full well that the vast majority of them were Nigerians. The order demanded that all non-Ghanaians without proper residency papers leave the country within a short period. As a result, Nigerians were forced to auction off everything—cars, houses, farms, businesses—at ridiculously low prices, just to leave.

That was how "Nigeria Must Go" was invented way before "Ghana Must Go" came later in 1983, 14 years after, as a result of the economic effect of the Alien Compliance Order.

Many Nigerians couldn’t even sell their assets and had to abandon them.
Worse, the Ghanaian government blocked access to their bank accounts. Nigerians were only allowed to take £2,000 with them, even though many had hundreds of thousands of pounds in the banks. These actions traumatised many Nigerians. Families were broken. People died in detention. And the indigenous Ghanaians took over the farms, businesses, and properties that Nigerians left behind.

The consequences for Ghana were immediate and devastating.
Cocoa production collapsed. Ghana’s global share fell from 50% to 30% because Nigerians had been the ones managing the farms. Prices of goods doubled because the Nigerians, who had kept prices affordable, were gone. Transportation collapsed because Nigerians owned most of the vehicles and transport systems. And thousands of jobs were lost overnight because Nigerian-owned factories and farms shut down.

Ghana fell into deep crisis. It was a period of immense hardship, and it all started with the Alien Compliance Order. That decision marked the beginning of Ghana’s economic downfall and the famine that later swept through the country.

What about Nigeria? Nigerians suffered too. Lives were lost. People died in Ghanaian custody. Entire families were displaced. Businesses were destroyed. What could've been generational wealth vanished. And even when they tried to leave with their savings, the banks denied them access to their funds. It was an economic sabotage of the highest order.

Years later, in 1985, it took Jerry John Rawlings traveling to General Ibrahim Babangida to renew diplomatic relations between Ghana and Nigeria. Until then, there was no peace between the two countries. Things were still very bad, even during Rawlings time.

But when President Kufuor came to power in 2001, he personally went to President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria to plead for support. And Obasanjo came through massively.

Obasanjo agreed not only to resume gas supply to Ghana to support electricity generation, but he also backdated payments by four years, reduced the price, and even gave Ghana $30 million to buy vehicles for their police. Ghanaians don’t like to talk about this, but it happened. Obasanjo also mobilized Nigerian investors to support Ghana’s economic recovery.

That’s how Ghana’s infrastructure and housing grew to be among the best in Africa. Nigerians brought their wealth and helped rebuild Ghana. Most Nigerians don’t even know this. But it’s true, a history Ghanaians must not forget or shy away from. That’s why President Kufuor called Obasanjo a “gift to Africa” and named the road from 37 Roundabout to Achimota Forest, Obasanjo Highway.
Nigeria has done a lot for Ghana. This is history. We must not shy away from it.

So, how is Alien compliance Order 2.0 happening or about to happen?

President JD Mahama, just like Nkrumah have switched up Ghana's economy.

Multiple sources, referencing Bloomberg data, confirm that the Ghanaian cedi appreciated by nearly 50% against the U.S. dollar in 2025, making it the world’s best-performing currency this year

It went from ₵15 to around ₵10 per US$
It began the year near ₵15 per dollar and strengthened to around ₵10.21 by early June.
The rally is backed by strong commodity exports (particularly gold), prudent policy moves, and macro-financial stabilization measures.

He achieved it doing the following:

Monetary discipline (rate hike + liquidity control) boosted currency stability.

Fiscal reforms and debt deals improved credibility and fiscal space.

Gold sector overhaul and export promotion drove forex inflows.

Robust macro indicators—surpluses, falling inflation, rising reserves—reinforced the cedi.

Banking sector regulation and digital finance governance strengthened institutional resilience.

Budget cuts and tax reform released economic slack.

Dialogue-led strategies aligned institutional reforms with export and digital growth.

Aside Ghana's great economic upturn, Ghana is committing another big crime against the empire, by not shutting out AES countries.

Ghana has quietly become the gateway for the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) to connect with the outside world. By granting Burkina Faso, a landlocked nation in revolutionary, anti-imperial transition, access to the sea via the Port of Tema, Ghana is helping it bypass dependence on French-controlled Côte d'Ivoire and unstable Togo.

This seemingly simple move is a geopolitical game-changer, breaking the West’s chokehold on Sahel and West African trade routes. Burkina Faso’s industrial rise depends on sea access, and Ghana, not its neighbors, is providing that lifeline.

This is more than trade; it’s open defiance against imperial control.
Ghana’s deepening ties with Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger are seen by foreign powers as a threat, a foundation for a sovereign, interconnected African bloc trading, building infrastructure, and ensuring security without Western permission. And for empires, such independence is intolerable.

The same playbook that dismantled Nigeria in 2015 is being replayed in Ghana today. It begins with manufactured scarcity, fuel shortages, artificial hardships, blamed on government. Then unrest is seeded through NGOs, influencers, and staged protests, while the military is delegitimized and a compromised “savior” is promoted as the people’s choice. It is the standard CIA-backed method of regime change, executed through media psyops, economic strangulation, and NGO infiltration.

Nigeria's former president Goodluck E. Jonathan lived this reality. When he tried to reduce Western grip by regulating oil, diversifying the economy, investing in tech, and strengthening sovereignty, chaos was unleashed. NGOs funded by NED and USAID financed protests, mockery cartoons of Goodluck created, the media amplified outrage, Boko Haram violence was curiously unchecked, and Jonathan was eventually replaced with Buhari, the perfect puppet. The result was a captured Nigeria, trapped in poverty and dependency.

Now, Ghana is the target. But Ghana is more than itself, it is a continental corridor and AES lifeline. Breaking Ghana means cutting off Burkina Faso from the Atlantic, blocking possible AES–Nigeria cooperation, and collapsing Pan-African sovereignty. The script is already unfolding.

In July 2024, Ukraine claimed responsibility for a deadly Sahel ambush that killed 47 Malians and 84 Russians. In July 11, 2025, Zelensky fabricated a Ghana–Ukraine military pact, sparking tensions with the Sahel.

Disinformation campaigns erupted, fake hashtags like , bot-driven outrage, and the murder of Ghanaian diplomat in Abuja. Then came the August 6, 2025 helicopter crash that killed Ghana’s Defense Minister, Environment Minister, Army Chief, and top security officials, men who were charting sovereignty, fighting illegal mining, and building AES unity. Mahama narrowly escaped, but the strike was surgical, a direct hit on Ghana’s future.
This is not random. It is sabotage.

The goal is to isolate, destabilize, and eventually topple Ghana’s leadership, just as Jonathan was toppled in Nigeria. The tactics are identical, scarcity, protests, mass manipulation, discrediting of the president, and the installation of a puppet. Only the packaging has changed.

If Ghana falls, AES will struggle deeply to survive. If Ghana stands, Africa rises. The war is not conventional; it comes through hashtags, NGOs, fake protests, and influencers disguised as activists.

Ghanaians must resist psychological operations, and Africa must rally. The continent is under siege, and Ghana is today's biggest target. History is not repeating itself, it is being re-executed with an upgraded PR.
