Nigeria is taking bold strides toward healthcare self-reliance. From a landmark $107.2M vaccine plant in Abuja to local API synthesis by Emzor, the nation is moving to curb its heavy reliance on foreign imports and secure the health of millions.
African Proverb Of The Week
This proverb comes from the Saharawi people of Western Sahara, Africa’s 55th nation, and the only African nation still fighting for its independence.
What does it tell us?
It tells us that there is no progress without risk and sacrifice, and throughout Africa’s modern history, its great leaders knew this. From Nkrumah to Olympio to Lumumba to Sankara, these visionary leaders all risked something to see Africa free. Though their vision was cut short by Western terrorists in their lifetimes, it never died. It endured in the foundations they laid for those who would come after.
It is alive today in nations like Eritrea, Tanzania, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, whose leaders and people have dared to stick their necks out, in the face of endless Western aggression, so that Africa can move forward.
Why Africans Didn’t Give Up Our Tasty Food for Colonial Slop
Adaeze M. Nwadike, founding editor of Arts Lounge Literary Magazine, argues Africans didn’t give up their food like they did their religion and other cultural products because food isn’t abstract.
What could Africa have become had we not adopted so much colonial slop? Drop us a comment.

Ghanaian Reporter Parrots Western Propaganda About His Own Country, The Spearhead Reacts
This April, Ghana rejected a ridiculous “health deal” offered to it by the US under the so-called “America First Global Health Strategy”. This deal would have seen Ghana hand its sensitive health data, medical records, and national pathogen profiles on a plate to Africa’s single greatest geopolitical enemy. So the Ghanaian government did what any sensible African government would have done.
In this report for The Spearhead, @barrahart reacts to a [ @dwnews (X, Instagram, TikTok & YouTube) / @deutschewellenews (Facebook) / DW News (anywhere else) ] report on Ghana’s decision, hosted by a Ghanaian “journalist” who clearly doesn’t know where his African interests lie.
Is The U.S. Staging Another Invasion Of Haiti?
On October 19, 2026, at the 10,246th Meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC), US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz threatened Haiti with yet another US military “intervention”.
He did not say this directly, of course.
In the tired old style of US government parrots, he used Haiti’s 5-year-long, Western-imposed security crisis as the pretext for this “intervention”.
