episode Is marriage the path to African reconnection for Black Americans? artwork

Is marriage the path to African reconnection for Black Americans?

Alkebulanians, I recently saw a video about Black American women marrying Nigerian men and becoming “more Nigerian than Nigerians,” and it brought me so much joy. In this episode, we explore the deep significance of this trend. ALKEBULAN Discover The True Africa is a reader-supported publication.

I figured out why no one cares about the Sudan war

Alkebulanians, The largest humanitarian crisis on the planet right now isn’t where you think it is. Here are the two videos I made on this topic that I urge you to watch: The RSF. The foreign money keeping them armed. The Gulf state quietly funding the slaughter. And the strangest twist of all, why the US-Iran standoff may have accidentally bought Sudan a few weeks of breathing room. But what happens when the Middle East cools down?

It isn’t about land. There is a much older campaign at work here, one that traces back to the 7th century and it is being carried out in plain sight while the world looks away. I’m using coded language just to get this past the censors. Watch. Share. Don’t let this one happen in the dark This is a public episode.

episode America want an Ebola QUARANTINE for the Congo World Cup Team artwork

America want an Ebola QUARANTINE for the Congo World Cup Team

Alkebulanians, Another epic 2 HR show. We covered a lot in this one. An absolute firestorm is brewing in Central Africa, and the mainstream narrative is completely hiding the real context. In this late-night nightcap broadcast, I discuss the sudden, highly suspicious resurgence of the Ebola virus (the rare Bundibugio strain) in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s conflict zones. Why is a disease dormant for over a decade magically reappearing in the exact regions central to Western mineral survival right now? We connect the diabolical dots: how pandemic declarations are historically weaponised to mandate international access, overwrite sovereignty, and override local leadership when sanctions, propaganda, and military bases fail. If it crosses into active genocide war zones like Sudan and trickles across the Sahel Alliance (Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso), the West secures a perfect “humanitarian” backdoor to play hero and regain total structural control. We also expose the blatant psychological conditioning behind the U.S. ordering the DRC World Cup squad to undergo a strict 21-day isolation, despite the entire roster playing professionally in Europe! It isn’t about public health; it’s a calculated propaganda move to keep reinforcing the image of the dangerous Black body. Later in the stream, we discuss the systemic failure of Black billionaires and celebrities, from Kevin Hart’s controversial roast deflection to the Met Gala silences. They are running psychological interference, selling a “chess move” illusion while preventing a true Black Wall Street revival. ALKEBULAN Discover The True Africa is a reader-supported publication.

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. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Why? What scares them about a Nigeria that refines its own oil? What does the 1980s have to do with this? 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.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
