Meet Laura Adorkor Coffie, whose legacy work and contributions to Pan Africanism was outright hijacked by Marcus Garvey then silenced, assassinated and subsequently erased. #Ghana #abolitionists #panafrican

Sentiments against this US spy company called Palantir are growing in the UK, but Nigeria and Ghana are saying come on in 👐. By the time the results start pouring in, the people who are supporting this today will turn around and ask us “Why are you blaming America, why not hold yourselves accountable?” Now is the time to hold the companies and entities welcoming this partnership to account, but you won't, you will rather support them and celebrate them as “putting your country on the map.”

The centralized surveillance concern is valid, but most SMEs face a different problem: drowning in disconnected spreadsheets while competitors outpace them. My approach prioritizes local data control, instant insights, and zero vendor lock-in. That's where genuine power returns to businesses, not through algorithmic governance debates. 🔄

It's bad enough that the government listens to our conversations, Palantir's predictive analytics will entrench surveillance capitalism. Centralized data fusion, will put our national infrastructure at the mercy of external algorithmic governance. Think Gaza.

Palantir is operating in Ghana now. Do you know what that means? Or you'd rather dance. Kakalika.

No ethnic Somali claiming to be a historian has been able to prove to me that the ancient coral-stone pillar tombs scattered along the Banaadir coast, and associated with the people who built the coral-stone towns of Mogadishu, Merca, and Kismayo, were originally built by Cushitic people. They never show archaeological evidence or matching distribution patterns in Djibouti 🇩🇯, eastern Ethiopia 🇪🇹 (the Somali Region), or northern Somalia, all areas associated with Cushitic populations. Yet the exact same coral-stone pillar tombs appear across Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, and the Comoros, in regions historically inhabited by Bantu populations, while they are absent from northern Somali regions such as Puntland, Zeila, Somaliland, Avalites, Mosylon, Malao (Berbera), and Opone (Haafun). These ancient coral-stone tombs are evidence that the Banaadir coast was originally inhabited by Bantu populations, who later carried this architectural and funerary tradition southward, which would explain why the same tomb forms are found further down the Swahili coast and across the western Indian Ocean.

Jacobin is a mouthpiece of empire cloaked in Marxist double-speak. They remain clueless about the dynamics of genuine African revolutions fighting colonial exploitation on their own terms. Traoré also never claimed to be Sankara's heir. Liars!
Jacobin@jacobin

Ibrahim Traoré cultivates his image as a revolutionary, as Thomas Sankara once did. While those who discuss Sankara’s politics often refer to his philosophy as a form of pragmatic socialism, Traoré’s outlook is rather more pragmatic than socialist: jacobin.com/2026/04/traore…

Art history of African practitioners is almost missing in this realm. Now algorithms determine what's relevant and worth appreciating. Doesn't help that the people behind handles refuse to open a book. We are preparing for August. It's time .

For those of you who would not research and find these data for yourselves, I have listed them below. 1. The CIA's own FOIA reading room, declassified document — the poison plot A sanitised CIA document, approved for release, describing the September 1960 instruction to the Congo station chief to assassinate Lumumba using poison. From CIA.gov itself. 🔗 cia.gov/readingroom/do… 2. CIA's own journal — "CIA's Covert Operations in the Congo, 1960–1968" Published in Studies in Intelligence, the CIA's own peer-reviewed journal, based on newly declassified documents. Written by CIA historian David Robarge. Covers the political action programs, funding of opposition, propaganda operations, and the Lumumba plot directly. 🔗 cia.gov/resources/csi/… 3. The 1975 Church Committee — US Senate The 1975 Church Committee went on record finding that CIA chief Allen Dulles had ordered Lumumba's assassination as "an urgent and prime objective." Wikipedia This is the official US Senate investigation. The full report is publicly available via the Senate archives. The specific finding on Lumumba is in Book III of the Church Committee Final Report. 🔗 intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/… 4. CIA's own review of The Lumumba Plot — published March 2024 The CIA's in-house journal reviewed a 2024 book on the assassination, effectively confirming the core facts on the record, including that the CIA station was sent funds specifically for the purpose of eliminating the prime minister, to be used at station chief Devlin's discretion. CIA 🔗 cia.gov/resources/csi/… 5. Wikipedia: CIA activities in DRC — for the funding of Mobutu detail Well-sourced summary page noting that the Congolese leaders who overthrew Lumumba and transferred him to the Katangan authorities, including Mobutu Sese Seko and Joseph Kasa-Vubu, received money and weapons directly from the CIA. Wikipedia 🔗 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activ… Now After all these links, I am still sure one funny nigeria will ask me, and i quote " WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE" Una Mata don tire person

You Could not have said NO It's Not an Excuse, It's a Fact A common response to this argument is: "Nigeria could have said no. Other countries said no." Could we have? Let me walk you through history so you can see for yourself. In the 1980s, Nigeria was economically devastated after oil prices crashed from $40 to $9 per barrel. We had three heads of state between 1982 and 1986. The country's fiscal structure had collapsed. In that environment, the IMF and World Bank were not offering suggestions. They were offering access, to credit markets, to international legitimacy, to trade arrangements. Say no, and you're frozen out. The one African leader who actually tried to resist IMF prescription and chart an independent economic path in that era was Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso. He was assassinated in 1987 after just four years in power. His killers have never been fully held accountable. Look further back: Patrice Lumumba of the Congo tried to assert sovereignty over his country's resources and reject Western interference. The CIA, and this is now declassified, actively worked against him, funded opposition figures, ran propaganda against him, and the network of Western and Congolese actors they enabled had him executed in 1961. The man who replaced Lumumba? Mobutu Sese Seko. A CIA-backed puppet who went on to run one of the most kleptocratic regimes in African history, with Western support, throughout the Cold War. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is from the CIA's own declassified documents, archived by the National Security Archive, reported by NPR, and documented in books backed by primary source research. So when Nigerians say "we could have just said no", no. You could not just say no. And the countries that did say no, or tried to, paid in blood.

Frida Kahlo’s notoriety is a CIA pysop which tricked Mexico into promoting a subversive female icon to destabilize the nation’s traditional, family-oriented social structure. During her life, Frida was largely overshadowed by her husband, Diego Rivera. While Diego was a muralist using art to educate the masses on power, labor, and history, Frida focused her art on internal struggle and personal weakness. Once the CIA quelled the "Red Scare" and suppressed labor empowerment, they were able to pivot Mexico into a manufacturing hub for America. Then by replacing the traditional matriarch with a rebellious individualist archetype that could be exported worldwide, they effectively destabilize the Mexican family by glorifying non conformity and trauma over civilizational stability.

Frida really was a pioneer for mexican feminism (cheating on her ugly toad-like mexican boyfriend with literally dozens, maybe hundreds, of gringos)
