Do you know Bob Denard ?

He was not an African, and he wasn't even fighting in a regular, disciplined army.

Do you know what Bob Denard did in the Comoros and what he did against Kerekou in Benin ( Dahomey).
Foreign AffairsUkraine Must Insure The Safe Return Of The Nigerian Prisoner Of War by panafrican(op): 10:38pm On Jul 06, 2025
The African captured by NATO /Ukraine forces is protected under the GENEVA CONVENTION.

As a reminder : The Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War (1949) outlines specific rules for the humane treatment of prisoners of war (POWs). These rules, primarily found in the Third Geneva Convention, mandate that POWs be treated with respect for their person and honor, and protected from violence, intimidation, and public curiosity. They also detail requirements for adequate food, shelter, medical care, and communication with the outside world.

Any violation of the captive 's rights amounts to a war crime.
PoliticsLooking In A Mirror: Nigeria Deported More Than 2 Million West Africans In 1983 by panafrican(op): 2:00pm On Jul 05, 2025
Looking in a mirror: When Nigeria expelled hundreds of thousands of Ghanaians in 1983.

**********
Ai Journal summary .

Nigeria did expel a large number of immigrants, primarily from Ghana, in the 1980s.
The Expulsion of 1983 ("Ghana Must Go"wink:


In January 1983, the Nigerian government under President Shehu Shagari issued an executive order requiring undocumented immigrants to leave the country or face arrest.

This led to the expulsion of over two million West African migrants, with about half of them being Ghanaian nationals.

The expulsion was triggered by various factors, including the weakening Nigerian economy after the 1970s oil boom, and alleged involvement of foreigners in social and economic problems.

Brutality and Difficulties Faced by Expelled Immigrants:

Following the expulsion order, many immigrants, especially Ghanaians, faced significant challenges in leaving the country.
Ghana's closure of its border with Togo, due to an attempted coup, along with Togo's subsequent closure of its borders with Benin, meant that many Ghanaians were stranded in Benin, struggling to find transportation home.

There were reports of border closures, refugees being stranded, and looting of warehouses due to inadequate supplies.
Some refugees also reported being robbed or having their vehicles smashed.

Ghanaian leader, Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings, reportedly denounced the expulsions as well as "reported incidents of brutality".

Context and Aftermath:
The 1983 expulsion is considered one of the most iconic migration episodes in West African history, highlighting the complex relationship between economic hardship, nationalism, and regional migration.

The large checkered bags used by the departing immigrants to carry their belongings became known as "Ghana Must Go" bags.


Here are some key details:
1983 Expulsion: In January 1983, President Shehu Shagari issued an executive order requiring all undocumented immigrants to leave Nigeria or face arrest.

Scale of the expulsion: Over two million West African migrants were deported, including about one million Ghanaian nationals.

Reasons for the expulsion:

Immigration Law: Some sources suggest the action was in line with Nigeria's 1963 immigration law.
Impact:
"Ghana Must Go" Bags: The expulsion led to many migrants using large, checkered bags to carry their belongings, which became known as "Ghana Must Go" bags.

Humanitarian Concerns: The rapid nature of the expulsions raised humanitarian concerns, and there were reports of thousands of Ghanaians dying at the border.


Conclusion ?
Well, when you talk about South Africa, let's be honest and remember that we did it too, may be worse than what the Zulu did. grin

Foreign AffairsThanks To Trump No More LGBTQ American Ambassador In Africa by panafrican(op): 4:04am On Jul 04, 2025
No more distraction.

Thanks to president Trump, no U.S. ambassador is harassing African countries on LGBTQ rights.

No more of those ambassadors who are coming to our continent and asking us to allow gay rights.


The Obama and Biden administrations were extremely disrespectful toward our cultural heritage.

We congratulate Donald J. Trump on stopping the shameful mess.

Trump said he told the New York Times about Musk’s alleged drug use, presidential biographer claims


President Donald Trump said he “dropped a dime” on Elon Musk’s alleged drug taking to the New York Times, according to biographer Michael Wolff.

As the feud between Trump and Musk reignited this week, Wolff claimed the president has been calling contacts to badmouth his former “first buddy.”

Musk denied claims that he was using drugs when he entered the White House after The Times broke the story in May, shortly before he exited Washington. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said he didn’t have any “concerns” about the allegations at the time.

“To be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their a** off,” he said in a post on X at the time. “I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on X, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven’t taken it since then.”

Story by Garrin Lambley

The African Transformation Movement (ATM) plans to formally submit a proposal to Parliament to change South Africa’s official name to the Republic of Azania, reigniting a decades-old debate over national identity and the country’s colonial legacy.

ATM leader Vuyo Zungula argues that the name South Africa is a colonial relic that does not reflect the indigenous heritage of the nation’s people.

‘Decolonise the state’
Speaking in parliament this week, Zungula argued that the name originated with the British and Boer colonisers during the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910, and should be replaced as part of a broader effort to decolonise the state.

“Before 1652, we were not South Africans. The name was imposed upon us,” Zungula stated.

“We need to reclaim our identity, just like other formerly colonised nations have done.”

The proposal seeks to rename South Africa as the Republic of Azania, a name historically linked to several liberation movements during the apartheid era.

Zungula said the new name would represent a clean break from the past and restore dignity to the country’s indigenous people.

"
— A man born to an active-duty member of the United States military on an Army base in Germany in 1986 before coming to the states as a child was deported last week to Jamaica, a country he’s never been to, according to a report by The Austin Chronicle.

Jermaine Thomas, whose Jamaican-born dad became a U.S. citizen during his 18-year military career, spent much of his early life moving from base to base with his father and mother, the latter a citizen of Kenya at the time of his birth. "

Somebody found an opportunity to rip off believers ! grin grin cheesy


Pastor Jeremiah Now Selling “Jerusalem Sand” for $500 Amid Israel War with Iran

While Israel is facing Iran in the battle field, one Nigerian Pastor Jeremiah is busy promoting what he dubs the “Sand of Jerusalem.” He claims

it has miraculous powers that can help you build not just a house, but even an entire city of your own. And we think this is not true

Hear what the pastor said:

“This sand will change your life. For just $500, your destiny is secured. You’ll be able to build not just a house, but a whole city!”


Even with the ongoing attacks between Israel and Iran, this Pastor Jeremiah seems completely unfazed, continuing to sell this Holy Land

sand that only him know where he got it from, as if it were a holy business venture. Recall that this same man has been busy selling almost

all heavenly properties as if he's the only child our father had.

Critics are labeling it a "sacrilegi0us hustle," while supporters are reportedly eager to get their hands on the sand.

Our Question is:

Would you shell out $500 for a sack of sand just because a pastor claims it can shape your destiny?

BREAKING | IRAN RESPONDS: “We Were Ready — And We Will Strike Back!” 🇮🇷
In a bold and defiant move, Iran has fired back after the U.S. reportedly launched airstrikes on its nuclear facilities. They claim the West has “fallen for a decoy” and assert that Tehran is firmly in control of its uranium and strategic resources.
Key Takeaways from Iran’s Fiery Response:
"They struck smoke!" — Iranian officials assert that they had already moved all critical nuclear materials as early as March, making the recent attacks futile.
"This war didn’t surprise us" — Tehran insists it was fully prepared for this conflict, stating: “We had already sharpened our swords — now the time has come to draw them!”
"The enemy is deluded" — Iran believes the Western coalition is overconfident, vowing a retaliation that will be so significant that it will be etched in history.
“This is the land of revolution” — The statement concludes with a chilling reminder: every action will be "calculated, faithful, and unforgettable."
What’s Next?
As global tensions escalate, all eyes are on Iran’s anticipated response. The Red Sea, Gulf region, and key Western positions could be in jeopardy.
Is this a turning point — or the beginning of something much more perilous?
