After the demise of President John Pombe Magufuli of Tanzania, Africans are beginning to be enlightened on some of the tactics of western hegemony that has often succeeded in dethroning the good leaders in Africa, and subsequently enstooling puppets to former colonial masters. As to why they have succeeded with an almost 0% rate of failure, we take a look at the states of the West in Africa in terms of mineral resources and why we, Africans need to be resolute in defending the good among our African Leaders.

The sudden demise of one of Africa's best leaders has sent shockwaves through the entire continent of Africa, and some parts of the world too. Almost two years ago, Professor Patrice Lumumba of Kenya emphasized the need to emulate certain principles of the late leader. Unfortunately, before his radical approach toward corruption eradication could be understood and adapted in other African economies, he was taken away. We take a look back at some of his radical policies that had begun certain a path for Tanzania's economic liberation; which, we believe may have drawn some fierce antagonism leading to his demise. Take a listen and don't forget to leave a comment or review on wherever you take your podcast.

Hey World, welcome back to a new episode of a perfect monologue where we discuss everything that Ghana is doing right for their people and the continent of Africa. The President of Ghana has been in the news for quite some time now for his peculiar way of mastering the art of speaking truth to power on the world stage. We take a look at some of the recent engagements he has had with Western economies and how he has prevailed over them in this segment; such as the airport/aviation war with the UK, stoppage of cocoa bean export to Switzerland, and others. On a lighter note, Steve Wonder is welcomed to Ghana. Africa is just rising and we are not stopping anytime soon.
