Peller’s Wedding Guests: Foreign Espionage And African Entertainment
When influencers and “foreign guests” collide, as is the case here, we are not watching a wedding but a social engineering operation
It is very clear here that the rise of our internet sensations is often engineered. When foreign money starts flowing into our digital spaces, it is time to start asking who is really behind the screen and what they’re buying with those “gifts.” It’s time for Africans to stop being spectators to our own subversion.
John Charles Robinson: The African American Who Fought For His Ancestral Home
Over the past few years, the internet has been curiously awash with African voices born in the diaspora who deny their African heritage. Groups like the US-based “Foundational Black Americans (FBA)” continue to push the pseudohistorical narrative that dark-skinned people born in the West with visibly African features are somehow not of African descent.
In this report for The Spearhead, Okorie Uche offers a stern history lesson to Africans who take this ridiculous narrative seriously.
It is important that we ask ourselves who truly benefits from the rift between Africa and its diaspora that this narrative creates.
African Proverb Of The Week
We’ve heard it all our lives from Western and Western-aligned voices: Africa’s problems are caused by “corruption” and “bad leadership”.
But throughout Africa’s modern history, there have been other voices – voices like Marcus Garvey, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Ture and Thomas Sankara – calling on Africans to look to our history, and from it, learn the true cause of our problems.
Not “corruption” – that exists everywhere – not “bad leadership” – that also exists everywhere – but a foreign parasite which infected our home 500 years ago, and had no intention of ever leaving us alone.
Africa is suffering because it has been and continues to be colonized. Its “corrupt” leaders, in reality, simply serve the interests of this colonial entity. And this East African proverb calls on us to channel our time, energy and resources towards defeating this colonial entity, rather than wasting our time, energy and resources on its mindless puppets.
These puppets must go, yes. But unless we understand the system they serve and also purge this system from our societies — as the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) has done — they will simply be replaced.
Meet Elon Musk’s Arrogant Dad: The Tree & the Apple
As the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
That’s what Errol Musk, father of billionaire Elon Musk, demonstrates here, in which he audaciously claims Black South Africans would starve without European land theft, know-how and machinery.

When The US Dropped Bombs On Its Own Citizens
As the US continues to pretend to care about the wellbeing of Africans, it is important that we, as Africans, remember the history of this malevolent t*rror state, and recognize where we really stand in its political calculus.
In this report for The Spearhead, Okorie Uche takes a trip down memory lane, to 1985 and 1921, when the US dropped bombs on US citizens, who just happened to also all be of African descent.
