In one week the world saw a war in Iran cool down, a new Ebola outbreak conveniently surface in Congo, Mali's Defence Minister assassinated, Captain Traoré of Burkina Faso hit-pieced by Sky News, and another wave of xenophobic mob attacks against Black Afric…

How one African BILLIONAIRE is saving Nigeria (Dangote new oil refinery)

Alkebulanians, For 60 years, one of the world’s largest oil producers couldn’t refine its own fuel. Export the crude. Import the petrol. Pay the markup. Stand in line for the shortage. That just ended. Aliko Dangote built a $27 billion mega-refinery and did in a few years what the Nigerian government and Western oil giants spent half a century avoiding. You’d think the world would celebrate. Instead the World Bank and IMF are panicking and the sabotage has already started. ALKEBULAN Discover The True Africa is a reader-supported publication.

And why is Kenya the warning everyone should be watching right now? This is not about petrol. This is about dismantling a 40-year racket in broad daylight.

Bots & Social Media The Secret War on Pan-Africanism NIGHT CAP #20

Alkebulnaians, There is a hidden conflict playing out right in the palms of our hands, and most of the world is completely blind to it. We are witnessing a calculated, secret war against the Pan-African movement, designed specifically to stoke division, fuel Afrophobia, and keep the diaspora distracted. ALKEBULAN Discover The True Africa is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. In this nightcap, we’re cutting through the noise to expose the reality behind the recent xenophobic marches in South Africa and the overwhelming surge of engineered fake accounts flooding our timelines. These aren’t random trolls; these are highly coordinated bad actors exploiting stereotypes and fueling geopolitical friction. They want us fighting our neighbours so we never realise who is actually pulling the strings. If you are tired of shallow headlines, propaganda, and algorithms controlling the narrative, it’s time to step off the battlefield they control. We need a mental framework to understand modern exploitation and the global shift toward African sovereignty. This is why I’m building our sanctuary on Substack. No algorithms, no shadowbanning, just direct, unfiltered truth. If we don’t control the discourse, we lose the fight.

The EU is QUIETLY taking over West Africa

This is a free preview of a paid episode.

Iran War Africa Education and The Merc U.S. Tour Brain Storm

Alkebulanians, Welcome to another Night Cap. My free flowing conversation series where I chat to subscribers about all things Africa and the Diaspora. You never know where the conversation might go but it’s always good. In this episode, we start with the Iran War. I was wrong. I thought the Iran war had created breathing room for Africa while the world focused on the Middle East. But the deeper I looked, the more I realised something else was happening. Much of what we are seeing may be a smokescreen. While attention is pulled toward wars, UN votes, and symbolic moments, quiet security deals, mineral agreements, and political alignments are being made that could shape the next 40 to 50 years of African sovereignty. In this episode, I break down the Sahel Alliance, Ghana’s EU security deal, the slavery vote at the UN, and why the real battle for Africa is not just military or economic, but informational. We also talk about Pan-Africanism, the marginalisation of pro-Africa thought, and why true education may be the only long-term defence. This is a conversation about narrative control, sovereignty, diaspora power, and why the Alkebulan Academy matters now more than ever.
