I figured out why no one cares about the Sudan war 31.05.2026 9minAlkebulanians, 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?ALKEBULAN Discover The True Africa is a reader-supported publication.

America want an Ebola QUARANTINE for the Congo World Cup Team 27.05.2026 1h 55minAlkebulanians,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) 21.05.2026 33minAlkebulanians,For 60 years, one of the world’s largest oil producers couldn’t refine its own fuel.Export the crude.

Bots & Social Media The Secret War on Pan-Africanism NIGHT CAP #20 03.05.2026 15minAlkebulnaians,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.Chapters00:00:00 - Introduction: The Weekend Nightcap 00:00:13 - The Secret Digital War Against Pan-Africanism 00:01:10 - South Africa Marches: The Truth About Afrophobia 00:01:46 - Exposing Fake Accounts & Engineered Division 00:02:49 - Why This Online Discord is Not an Accident 00:03:05 - Escaping the Algorithm: The Power of Substack 00:04:50 - Who is Stoking Global Discontent? 00:06:21 - Follow the Money: African Geopolitics Explained 00:07:46 - Fighting the Hidden Enemy on Your Smartphone 00:08:44 - Distraction and Exhaustion: The Ultimate Weapon 00:10:18 - South Africa's Political Landscape & The DA 00:14:30 - Next Live Show: Strategies for the Community This is a public episode.

Iran War Africa Education and The Merc U.S. Tour Brain Storm 30.03.2026 1h 5minAlkebulanians,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.Chapters00:00 I Was Wrong About Iran and Africa05:00 Why Africa’s Real Battle Is Hidden10:08 The Smokescreen Strategy15:12 Ghana, the EU and the Sahel20:13 Why Education Is the Real Battlefield25:19 Hidden History and Sankore30:00 Teaching African History to Children35:18 Building an Independent Academy40:26 The Diaspora Bridge45:58 Sankore or Alkebulan Academy?50:50 The U.S. Tour Vision58:00 AI, Storytelling and African Sovereignty This is a public episode.

State Of The African Union 2026 (WATCH NOW) 17.03.2026 13min🌍 State of the African Union 2026: The New War for Africa🛡️The war for Africa has begun, but it isn’t being fought with bullets—it’s a war for the very definition of who we are. While the world is distracted by global conflicts, the “relentless gaze” of Western interference has shifted, giving us a rare moment to breathe and build.Contribute to the Alkebulan Academy:This address is on the path to true freedom:🧠 The Ideological Battle: Leaders like Captain Ibrahim Traoré are targeted not just for their policies, but because they represent an ideology of autonomy that threatens neocolonialism.📱 The Digital Berlin Conference: In 1884, they used pens and paper; today, they use algorithms, AI, and media we don’t control to divide and govern us.🧭 The Origin of the Compass: Without controlling our own narrative and history, we have no origin for our compass and no way to know where we are going.🎓 Indoctrination vs. Education: Many “educated” Africans are simply trained to be cogs in a machine designed to plunder their own land.The Solution? A new operating system for the African mind. After three years of development, I am launching the first Pan-African education platform—a virtual, accessible archive of our true history and memories.We are bringing back the tradition of elders passing knowledge to the next generation, employing educators over 50 to pass down the context we need to prosper.We are making ignorance a choice. The power to know the truth is finally in our handsPAY ATTENTION This is a public episode.

Why the African and Irish were divided (special guest) 09.03.2026 39minAlkebulanians,A special guest for all of you and a great conversation about a forgotten aspect of African history. Is the “Irish-Jamaican” accent the ultimate proof of a suppressed global history? I sat down with Irish politician Thomas Gould to deconstruct the viral video that shook social media. This episode dives into the brutal reality of Ireland as the British Empire’s first testing ground for colonisation and traces the shared lineage of struggle that connects the streets of Cork to the shores of Jamaica. From Sinn Féin’s history of resistance to the shared trauma of 1960s London, we explore why reclaiming this “stolen timeline” is the key to modern global unity.Chapters* [00:00] - The Viral “Jamaican” Accent: Is it AI or History?* [05:45] - Meeting Thomas Gould: A Working-Class Hero from Cork* [12:30] - Sinn Féin: The Century-Long Battle for Irish Sovereignty* [18:15] - The Colonial Blueprint: Why Ireland was First* [24:50] - From Cork to the Caribbean: The Truth About Indentured Servitude* [31:10] - Fighting for the People: Housing, Activism, and Community* [37:45] - “No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish”: Our Shared History of Oppression* [39:20] - Reclaiming the Timeline: A New Global Solidarity This is a public episode.

Why Nigeria is Buying U.S. Protection 23.02.2026 1hAlkebulanians,Nigeria has just committed $9 million to a high-powered U.S. lobbying firm, but is it for diplomacy or survival?

Why the UN Suddenly wants Africa on board #012 16.02.2026 32minI 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.
