“I don’t know is an answer.” – Robert Ingersoll.
In a world drowning in the cacophony of manufactured certainty,… Continue reading

Single-handedly, he brought the Sahel States together into an alliance, calmly kicked the French overseers out, began developing and recovering an African ethos, and, since then, has not had a day without some war in the Alliance. Yet, he remains resolute,… Continue reading

Quietly and professionally China may have ⬇️ The Unit

China also took FinTech to 21 nations in Africa south of the Sahara. They may have set up another bank for… Continue reading

[The ugliest picture of the Year – Nigeria’s president romancing Macron who… Continue reading

An Essay on Xi Jinping’s Global Governance Initiative
By Femi Akomolafe
Today, we turn our attention to global geopolitics. As we have said several times in this blog, the Western world has squandered its five-hundred-year run of global dominance. Drunk on plunder, sustained by oceans of blood, and blinded by insatiable greed, gluttonous avarice, and stupendous arrogance of exceptionalism, Westerners could not imagine… Continue reading

I don’t know if I was imagining things, but the tone… Continue reading
