Meet A Nigerian School Teaching Children Loyalty To The United States
The school you just watched teaching Nigerian children to pledge allegiance to the United States is in Owerri, southeastern Nigeria.
Pearlville School claims to promote critical thinking, but this is the exact opposite. Teaching children to recite the US national anthem and pledge loyalty to a foreign country is not education. It is ideological conditioning at the most impressionable stage of their lives.
In what world should allegiance to the United States have any place in the curriculum of a school on African soil?
What exactly are these children being taught about their own country, history, identity and responsibility as Nigerians?
This ridiculousness exposes how deeply African identity has been pushed to the margins of our education systems, while foreign cultures are treated as superior and worthy of loyalty.
It also raises serious questions about the government and education authorities that approved, ignored, or failed to stop this. A country that does not take its children’s education and identity seriously cannot pretend to be serious about sovereignty.
‘I Don’t Care About Migrants Who Die Crossing To Spain’
Online commenters say a march over the weekend of about 50,000 people into a Spanish colonial holding called Ceuta may have started as a US-Israeli-Moroccan attempt to destabilise Spain over its support for a Palestinian state. The trekkers eventually returned to Morocco while about 100 were k*lled and dozens were injured.
So what isn’t being discussed?
Morocco has its own colonial holding. It occupies the Western Sahara, a 272,000-square-kilometre territory that the Sahrawi people call home. In 1991, the UN Security Council passed a resolution calling for a referendum for the Sahrawis to decide Western Sahara’s status. A vote has yet to be held while Morocco has profited off mining and fishing activities in the territory.
While ordinary Moroccans often advocate against the Isr*ali occupation of Palestinian land, many do not believe in the same for the Sahrawi people. Of course, it turns out their government has more in common with Israel, especially given it had normalised relations during the first Trump administration.

CIA Destabilised Global South Countries Unable To Resist U.S. Power
Among the many tactics the United States has used to subvert sovereign states has been arming, financing and training rebel groups, explains former CIA officer John Stockwell, who died on 14 June 2026 at age 88.
Think of how former Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba (1925-61) was assassinated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo through US-, UK- and Belgian-backed Congolese forces. That led to the installation of rebel-turned-dictator Mobutu Sese Seko (1930-97), who allowed US corporations to pillage the mineral-rich country for decades.
Why should Africans trust groups backed by the US after all it has done on the continent? Drop us a comment.

The West Called Me A Dictator Because I Gave Africans Their Land Back – Robert Mugabe
In this excerpt from his powerful speech at the 62nd United Nations General Assembly in 2007, revolutionary icon and former President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe (1924 – 2019), calls out the West’s hypocritical slanders against his administration, and offers a stern history lesson on why the West is in no moral position to criticize Africa.
Since enforcing its historic 1992 Land Acquisition Act in 2001 – which aimed to return Zimbabwean land stolen by European criminals to its rightful, African owners – Zimbabwe has faced endless sanctions from the West. Western media has continued to purposefully ignore the inevitable effects of these sanctions, pinning all of Zimbabwe’s problems on “corruption” and “bad leadership”.
As Africans, we must draw on Mugabe’s wisdom to understand the real forces fueling our current economic, social and political problems.
The same forces that once sold us like livestock.
African Proverb Of The Week
What does this East African proverb tell us?
It tells us that an important message can be spread far and wide, for years and years, but as long as those who actually need to hear it remain deaf to it, nothing will ever change.
For Africans, that important message is Pan-Africanism, and it has been spoken since the dawn of the 18th century by Africa’s greatest thinkers and leaders, from Marcus Garvey, to Kwame Nkrumah to Thomas Sankara. It is the cure for the disease that has plagued Africa for 500 years, but as long as Africans continue to be deaf to it, the disease will continue to plague us.

Capitalism Has Always Relied on Colonialism and Imperial Violence
In this clip, Swaziland-born anthropologist Jason Hickel makes an important distinction between ‘Capitalism’ and ‘Market-Based Economics’ - a distinction that has been deliberately obfuscated by Western interests that are served by the constant conflation of these 2 completely separate concepts.
This distinction is particularly important in Africa, where huge amounts of US money from organisations like the Heritage Foundation have poured in to fund ideological subversion efforts specifically intended to confuse Africans into conflating their indigenous market-based systems with capitalism.
This large scale propaganda effort has historically operated through local faces, such as Ghanaian neoliberal economist George Ayittey, Senegalese neoliberal ideologue Magatte Wade, and Beninese-American neoliberal influencer Franck Zanu.
