    I said Argentina is the most racist country in the world (and I stand on it) NIGHT CAP #014

    Alkebulanians, Welcome to another Night Cap my impromptu bulletin and chat show where we shoot the breeze and keep the conversation free flowing. In this episode, I break down the explosive fallout from my viral video exposing Argentina’s deeply ingrained, anti-Black culture, sparked by the racist abuse of Vinicius Jr. by Gianluca Prestiani. Joined by Brazilian YCV, we discuss the historical “whitening” of Argentina, why relying on corrupt institutions like FIFA to punish racist clubs is a joke, and why building an independent, million-strong network is our only viable path to true geopolitical and economic leverage.

    Why the UN Suddenly wants Africa on board #012

    I analyse the United Nations’ insulting offer of a permanent Security Council seat for Africa without veto power, viewing it as a desperate move to counter the continent’s shift toward BRICS. I also contrast the US strategy of imposing tariffs on African goods with China’s zero-tariff offer, arguing that Africa must prioritise economic partnerships that allow us to industrialise rather than chase symbolic political seats.

    Saif Gadaffi Assassination Aftermath (with special guest) 💀🇱🇾

    I interview Aiden Simardoni, a Canadian geopolitical analyst who identifies as a Pan-Africanist, to understand why he believes the Western economic system is a "House of Cards" built on African exploitation.

    Gadaffi’s Son Assassinated In Libya QUICK THOUGHTS

    Alkebulanians, Welcome to this quick bulletin. I react to the breaking news of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi’s assassination, connecting it to disturbing intelligence reports that France has sanctioned the removal of anti-Western African leaders. I criticise the silence of global media and African celebrities, arguing that this hit was a strategic move to prevent a Pan-African revival in Libya and ensure the continent remains under foreign control.

    Why North Africans are angry I told the truth

    Alkebulanians, In this episode, I address the intense backlash regarding my comments on North Africa when I pushed back against a video of a Moroccan woman gaslighting black Africans about her African identity.

    Stop Celebrating African Independence: We Are Not Free

    Make sure to watch my walk and talk about the scam of African Independence below. In this episode, I argue that African independence was a complete hoax designed to pacify us while Western control deepened, citing the recent wave of "fake coups" as proof. I also challenge the community to break the myth that "Africans don't read" by cancelling their Netflix subscriptions to support Pan-African platforms, and I discuss with my subscribers why my upcoming school will reject Western accreditation to remain truly free.
