"That the continent of Africa is the richest in natural resources while Africans are the poorest people under the sun is a paradox. The other paradox is that the liberation struggles did not result in the liberation of African countries."

Leopold of Belgium ruled Congo as his private property for 23 years. He cut off the limbs of Congolese who did not meet their daily quota on the plantation. At the end of his rule, he had killed 15million Congolese people. But we are taught only about Hitler.
Slavery was legal, apartheid was legal, even colonization was legal. Because something is legal does not mean it’s right. Legality is not a matter of morals, it’s a matter of power.

After 75 years of Jewish holocaust, Germany still pays billions of dollars in compensation to Israel. But Africans, who are the victims of world most brutal holocaust recieve no reparations, our stolen artifacts are even still in their museums.
800K people murdered by the British in Kenya, 1M people killed in Algeria by the French, 10M people killed by Belgium in Congo & many more. But today they want to teach the world about human rights.

This is Colonel Assimi Goita, current military leader of Mali. Upon assuming office in two years, he has expelled French army, he has broken colonial ties with France, he has banned French as official language.
No Congo, no phone, no laptop, no jet engines, no automobiles, without Congo, no uranium , no diamond, no copper, no gold. But Congo is bleeding, Africa is bleeding.
Here is Fidel Castro. Former president of Cuba. He was the loudest voice against western aggression. He sent over 20 thousand Cuban soldiers to Angola to fight colonialism for free . He died at age 90 after surviving over 200 assassination attempts. Teach your kids about Fidel.
Israeli media reported that former British PM Tony Blair is leading an Israeli initiative seeking to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to other countries as part of an ethnic cleansing plan.
Only Africans will do white wedding, traditional wedding and court wedding . I have never seen any worse identity crisis and cultural confusion like this.
Belgium, UK, USA connived and assassinated Lumumba, hacked him into pieces, dissolved his body into acid and took his teeth to Brussels, simply because he was struggling for Congo independence. These are the same people that want to lecture us about human rights and democracy.
Here is Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of the Congo who was executed in a firing squad by Belgium/USA allies because he tried to protect his country’s minerals. Shortly before execution, His last words were: “Neither brutality, cruelty or torture will ever bring me to…
Britain has invaded 171 nations in the world, France has murdered 22 African presidents and counting since 1963, United States has over 700 military bases in 80 countries. How does Russia pose any security threat to you as an African?
Today, Patrice Lumumba was born. The man who led Congo to independence. Because he wanted his country free from Belgium and western allies, he was attacked and killed in a firing squad, hacked into pieces and dissolved into acid. He died fighting.
Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of Congo was assassinated by Belgium and western powers because he tried to protect his country from exploitation. The people who killed him are teaching the world about human rights today.
I was discussing with an African brother about Israel- Palestine conflict. He supports Israel. But I was eager to hear his argument. Immediately he quoted Bible saying: “Those who fight Israel fight God” I already knew his head was empty.
Before the Jewish holocaust in 1945, Germany built death camps in Namibia in 1905 , where thousands of indigenous Africans perished. We don’t hear much about his history because the victims were Africans.
Arabs give their kids Arabic names, English give their kids English names, Chinese give their kids Chinese names. Only Africans will give their kids European and Arabic names. We are not free, we are still mentally conquered.
Congo has no peace, Libya has no peace, Sudan is at war. Nearly all mineral rich nations are unstable because the west wants to control their resources and to control their resources they must control their politics.
Hitler’s crime was that he was violent towards his fellow Europeans. If it was Africans that Hitler killed, he’d be walking freely today and be called a man of honor , same way France is walking freely after killing 1million Algerians.
While being taken to the firing squad, Patrice Lumumba’s last words were “I prefer to die than to live in slavery, tell my people that I love them”.
The people who killed him are the ones teaching us human rights today.
Sudan is at war today because of its resources, a genocide is going on in Congo at the moment because of its minerals, Libya is a war zone today because of its minerals. The west creates war in Africa to exploit minerals.
Africans want to be more Muslim than the Arabs, more Catholic than the pope, more English than the British. Africans want to be everything but themselves. This is what mental slavery has done to us.
I read about Thomas Sankara, I discovered he was murdered by France, I read Patrice Lumumba I realized he was killed by Belgium, I read Nkrumah I realized he was overthrown. There’s no African leader committed to saving Africa that hasn’t been murdered.
Israel is not even a Christian nation, Christians are not up to 2% of the Israeli population. Supporting Israel because of Christianity means you don’t have sense.
Arabian wedding is the traditional wedding of Arabs, white wedding is the traditional wedding of Europeans, African wedding is the traditional wedding of Africans. The fact that Africans do white wedding shows how lost we are as a people.
Here is Solomon Mahlangu, he died fighting for South African freedom. He was hanged by apartheid government in 1979 at 21 years old. His last words were “my blood shall nourish the trees that will bear the fruits of freedom”. Remember your heroes.
I studied Thomas Sankara, I found out he was murdered by France, I read Patrice Lumumba I found out he was killed by Belgium. There’s practically no African leader that broke colonial ties with the west that was not murdered. We aren’t yet free.
If you read Koran, you’ll find a word called “Abeed” meaning an African Slave. If you read Bible you’ll read about the curse of Ham that justifies African enslavement because of generational curse. Islam and Christianity doesn’t acknowledge the humanity of African people.
Not only is there a genocide in Palestine, there’s a genocide in Congo, there’s a war Sudan, Libya is unstable, Haiti is in trouble— colonialism is not a thing of the past.
Here is Amilcar Cabral. He led the war against Portuguese colonialism and led his country, Guinea-Bissau to independence. He was later captured and killed by Portuguese secret police in 1973. Teach your kids about African heroes that died for you.
Here is Solomon Mahlangu. He was a. freedom fighter in South Africa against the apartheid. He was captured in 1979 and executed by handing at 22 years old. His last words were “my blood shall nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom. Tell my people that I love them”
Teach your kids about Steve Biko, Kwame Nkrumah, Samora Machel, Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, Julius Nyerere, Gamal Abdel Nasser. Teach your kids about African heroes that look like them.
The Chinese were colonized but they refused the British culture. The Indians were colonized but refused the British culture. Arabs were colonized but refused British culture. Africans will put their lives on line in defense of an alien culture.
Israel was one of the biggest supporters of apartheid South Africa, in fact, Israel armed South African apartheid government with ammunition against Africans. But today, Africans think Israel is a Christian democratic nation.
Russia has never launched any unprovoked attack against Africa, in fact, Russia was one of the nations that stood with Africa against colonialism, Russia sent arms and trained African freedom fighters. Today, media propaganda wants us to hate Russia.
Out of 54 African nations, 27 speak English as their official language, 21 speak French, six speak Portuguese some even speak Arabic. African language is barely official anywhere in Africa. Yet, you think slavery and colonialism is a thing of the past?
The west murdered Gaddafi so they could have takeover Libya’s oil and gold, they murdered Patrice Lumumba so they could take over Congolese resources. The west is not fighting for democracy anywhere, they’re fighting for minerals.
Throughout 23 years colonial rule of King Leopold, he had murdered ten million Africans and even cut off the limbs of Africans that didn’t meet up to plantation quota. But we’re only taught about Adolf Hitler.
Today in history, May 28 In 1803, captured and enslaved Igbos from Bight of Biafra, west Africa took control of the slave ship in America and drowned themselves in the ocean rather than submitting to slavery. They knew death was better than bondage.
This is not Jesus, this man here is Cesare Borgia. He was born in 1475. He was a very notorious Italian politician that killed his brother and slept with his sister. He was killed in March 12 1507 at the age of 31.
800K people murdered by the British in Kenya, 1M people killed in Algeria by the French in 1960, 10M people killed by Belgium in Congo & many more. Before Hitler committed genocide against the Jews, the west had committed genocide in Africa.
Hitlers offense was that he was violent towards his fellow white people. If it were Africans that Hitler had massacred, he’d have been called a hero, monuments would’ve been built in his honor
Japanese are civilized, Chinese are civilized, Arabs are civilized but they still preserve their cultural and traditional values. Civilization is not westernization.
Israel was one of the biggest supporters of apartheid regime in South Africa- Israel armed the racist government against South Africans. But today, Africans think Israel is a Christian nation with democratic values.
Here is Amilcar Cabral. He led the war against Portuguese colonial rule and led his country, Guinea-Bissau to independence. He was later assassinated by Portuguese secret police today in 1973. Teach your kids about African heroes that died for you.
The whole of Europe is United, no borders, they even have a single currency they spend but Africa still holds on to colonial borders created by Europeans in 1885.
If Africa takes control of its resources it means, no electricity for France, no coltan and cobalt, no oil to generate energy for Europe and America. Africa has never needed the west, the west has always needed Africa.
Only Africans will do white wedding, traditional wedding and court wedding . I have never seen any worse identity crisis and cultural confusion like this
Here’s Thomas Sankara, the best president in Africa’s history. Within four years, he:
Empowered women.
Increased literacy from 13-73%refused aids and made his country self reliant.
Renamed his country to Burkina Faso (meaning Land of the Upright People)
Vaccinated 2M kids.…
Belgium is the 6th richest nation in the world, Belgium is responsible for the death of almost 20million Congolese; no generational curse. It’s only in Africa you’ll be told that we’re suffering cos of the sins of our forefathers. What sins did our forefathers commit?
These are blue eyes, blonde hair white Europeans who are not indigenous to anywhere in the Middle East but they’re taking over the lands of indigenous people in Palestine. There are no ifs or buts, this is textbook colonialism.
The Jewish people are indigenous to the land of Israel. We are from here, and everyone feels it as soon as they get here.

and I have been in Israel meeting with some of the most extraordinary people in the world. People whose lives have been destroyed following the…
Africans are more Catholic than the Pope, more English than the Englishman, more Muslims than the Saudi monarchy. This is what mental slavery can do to you.
It was NATO not Russia that: bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, bombed Libya and almost wiped out Gaddafi’s generation, bombed Cambodia, bombed Iraq, bombed Yemen. Russia is not a security threat to me as an African, NATO is.
Nigeria was formerly called slave coast, Ghana was formerly called Gold Coast, Côte d'Ivoire was formerly called Ivory Coast. The west never cared about Africa, Africa to them is a market place.
French speaking African countries still don’t print their currency, their currency is printed and controlled by the French bank. The first president of Togo, Sylvannus Olympio tried to change it, was killed right in front of USA embassy in 1963.
