  • Nigeria pays US conservative lobbyist 9M to stop Trump attacks
    Feb 23 2026

    Alkebulanians,

    Nigeria has just committed $9 million to a high-powered U.S. lobbying firm, but is it for diplomacy or survival? We analyse the “Sunday Show” breakdown of the DCI Group contract, exploring how African nations are coerced into paying “protection money” to the West. From the threats of U.S. intervention to the failure of domestic security, this episode exposes the high-stakes game of image-laundering and the real cost of being a “Country of Particular Concern.”

  • I said Argentina is the most racist country in the world (and I stand on it) NIGHT CAP #014
    Feb 20 2026

    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
    Feb 16 2026

    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.
