Africa
Africa beyond headlines! What the world needs to stop getting wrong!
If your view about Africa comes mainly from Western news, Charity ads or documentaries about war and wildlife you are wrong! For too long the world has just told one story about this continent, a story filled with suffering crisis and needs and poverty.
Africa is a vast and dynamic continent - A powerhouse of culture, creativity, resilience, and natural wealth. It’s filled with vibrant cities, evolving economies, and over 1.4 billion people building futures in their own unique ways.
Yes, the world loves to show images of children with swollen bellies and cracked earth—but rarely do they mention the diamonds, gold, cobalt, oil, and rare earth minerals being minee and traded globally! Often under exploitative systems that still benefit the West more than Africa itself.
Let’s talk about that.
- Let’s talk about how African countries are some of the richest in natural resources, and yet headlines keep the focus on foreign aid not global extraction.
The Western World don't show you
- The hands that mine the diamonds in Congo
- The cobalt powering Western smartphones, coming from African soil.
- The oil fields in Nigeria or Angola
- The tea, coffee, and cocoa exported from East and West Africa—yet barely processed here.
Africa is not dependent on the West, if anything much of the Western comfort is built on the back of Africans hard labour and Resources!
Africa has deep problems anyway!
- Politics are dirty; Many of our so-called leaders are not in politics to serve; they’re in it to secure power, wealth, and protection. Corruption runs deep and for too long, the system has rewarded loyalty over vision, silence over truth, and greed over public good. And across the continent, people are rising. Young leaders, whistleblowers, activists, entrepreneurs, and ordinary citizens are pushing back, refusing to stay silent.
- We cannot talk about Africa’s struggles without talking about colonialism—because the pain didn’t start with poverty. It started when colonial powers, they arrived with guns, flags, and missionaries, claiming to “civilize” a continent they never understood. They left us with Flags, Bibles and took away our wealth!
But Africa is not lost. Our roots run deep beneath the soil they tried to claim. Today, we are remembering, reclaiming, and reawakening. We carry both the cross and the question. And we’re no longer afraid to ask:
- What lies beyond Africa, beyond the version they wanted us to believe?
We are remembering. We are reclaiming. And most importantly, and we are rewriting
