🛑 History is your best teacher!

During colonization, France 🇫🇷 had what they called the black army which was made up of Africans, primarily Senegalese whom they use to go fight against their fellow Africans.

The saddest part is that, one of two French soldiers could lead the black army. Just think about that for a moment! Hence, the black army wiped out their own people to help colonize them. Nowadays, the same France 🇫🇷 was able to use the Nigerian army and ECOWAS standby force to go and bomb Benin 🇧🇯 just to preserve another colony.

Nothing has really changed! That’s why those who refuse to learn from history are bound to repeat the same damn mistakes! How sad! So, to me,

Is the Nigerian army and ECOWAS standby force are colonial stooges?

Why do so many African countries today prefer Russia 🇷🇺?

In recent years, many African countries have become closer to Russia. This is not a coincidence. Many are disappointed in their former partners, especially Europeans, accused of teaching, criticizing, or imposing conditions in almost every cooperation.

Russia, it comes with a different approach: it offers weapons, security, economic deals... no moral discourse and no political pressure. For some governments it is simpler, more direct, and above all more respectful of their sovereignty.

Furthermore, Russia does not carry the burden of Slavery, Colonialisation and oppression of Africans, that is attached to other Western partners.

In countries like Mali, Burkina Faso or Central Africa, this choice is also a symbol: that of turning the page on a Western influence considered too heavy and deleterious to the continent .

That doesn't mean that Russia is "better". She defends her own interests like all powers. But today, she offers what many are looking for: a partner who does not humiliate, who does not threaten, and who leaves an impression of freedom.

At the end, this turn towards Moscow shows one thing: Africa now wants to choose its alliances...

They seek mutually respectful partnership, not some form of imperialists paternalistic, exploitative relation.

Dangote Is Fighting Principalities and Powers, NOT Farouk Ahmed...But Here Is Why Dangote Is Reacting Finally.

Farouk Started it all in 2024:

-Released FALSE information on the QUALITY of Dangote's Fuel

-Declared (FALSELY) that Dangote Refinery was NOT more than 50% complete

-Started publishing FALSE reports on Dangote Refinery Daily Production of Fuel by only publishing sales and NOT total production

-NEVER EVER visited the refinery (despite several invitations) to confirm ACTUAL DAILY PRODUCTION AND SALES

-Continued to LIE about Nigeria's daily Consumption/Production Data because Nigeria does NOT have a digital metering system to monitor and verify facts
