⁣Borderless Horizons: Ghana's Visa-Free Gambit

⁣S02E06 The Acceptance

⁣Iyanu S02E05 The Deep

An overivew of the Geo-Political scene in Afrika

Iyanu faces off against Adura, Queen of the Deep, in a fierce battle. What starts as a seesaw struggle becomes a desperate fight for Iyanu. Meanwhile, in Elu, Kanfo sends Teju and Siju on a mission to confirm if the People of the Deep are invading.

⁣Uwa returns to Elu to warn Kanfo of a potential invasion by the People of the Deep. Meanwhile, Team Chosen journeys to the source of the energy wave, but Biyi grows frustrated over his lack of mastery over the Beads of Elements.

Iyanu reunites with Team Chosen in the Riverlands to trace a mysterious energy wave, and Olori warns of a People of the Deep invasion.

S2.E1 ∙ The Reunion

⁣Several weeks after cleansing The Corrupt, Iyanu discovers ancient technology reactivating across Yorubaland. Meanwhile, Adura, Queen of the People of the Deep, plans an invasion of Elu, while Toye reunites with Biyi to investigate mysterious glyphs.

⁣Jazz and decolonization are entwined in this historical rollercoaster that rewrites the Cold War episode that led musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the UN Security Council in protest against the murder of Patrice Lumumba.

⁣A commission of inquiry into the policies of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank that have entrenched Africa’s debt crisis, undermined public services, and driven inequality.

The commission of Inquiry will hear testimonies on how these institutions’ austerity measures and debt-driven models harm African development, with the goal of raising awareness, advocating for debt cancellation, and pushing for reforms that prioritise people over creditors.

⁣Following a wave of coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, military regimes have entrenched their rule, established the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), withdrawn from the regional bloc ECOWAS, and dismantled mainly Western-led bilateral and multilateral stabilisation mechanisms. These shifts have caused further disruption to an already unstable region plagued by ever-growing jihadist violence and economic hardship. With multilateralism in retreat, bilateral power dynamics are taking on new roles: Russia, Turkey, Iran and increasingly Qatar and the UAE are vying for diplomatic influence and economic footholds in the region.

⁣In this edisode, I sit down with Timothy Kalyegira, a seasoned journalist and political analyst, to unpack the escalating tensions surrounding Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s controversial actions.

From his provocative tweets threatening EU ambassadors to the detention and alleged torture of Eddie Mutwe, we explore how these incidents are straining Uganda-EU relations.

Will the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) party’s planned peaceful demonstration proceed amidst this crackdown?

Timothy offers his sharp analysis on Muhoozi’s basement boast, the military’s role, and the broader implications for Uganda’s democracy.

⁣Iyanu, Biyi, Toye and Ekun reach The Source Mountain and meet the Guardians; Iyanu must pass the three trials to prove she's the Chosen; Chancellor Nuro, possessed by the Fallen One, tracks them across the Rinku Plains to stop her.

⁣When a teenage orphan girl, Iyanu, unknowingly triggers her Divine Powers, she escapes Elu, the last standing city in the known world, and embarks on a journey to discover the truth about the evil lurking in the realm of Yorubaland.

⁣Fleeing the evil Chancellor Nuro, Iyanu meets the Corrupt Divine Beast Ekun and a mysterious boy named Biyi. As she uncovers her extraordinary powers, she also explores hidden treasures beyond the Walls of Elu.

⁣Midrand, South Africa – It wasn't just another day at Nizamiye Primary and High School. The school grounds became a vibrant hub of innovation, ideas, and hope. Over 185 projects from Grade 4 to Grade 10 learners lit up the Nizamiye Science Expo 2025, with one purpose: to solve real-world problems faced by South Africa and the continent.

Each corridor echoed passionately—from makeshift DNA labs to eco-brick construction demos, from human-powered energy generators to piezoelectric tiles that lit up with every footstep.

Tamil Hassan Binda showed us how extracting DNA doesn't need a lab—just household ingredients and curiosity.

Azaria and Sarah took energy to the streets (literally!) with tiles that generate power when you walk—imagine lighting up Joburg's sidewalks just by walking.

A young innovator designed a human-powered USB charger using a crank and dynamo to tackle load-shedding, proving that when Eskom goes dark, innovation shines.

A hydro-powered grid project reminded us of the untapped potential of Africa's rivers. At the same time, another team tackled heart health by analyzing how energy drinks affect the cardiovascular system and proposing natural alternatives like beetroot juice and green tea.

Another standout is eco-bricks, which are built from eggshells, plastic, and soil. They are strong, sustainable, and a brilliant solution to Africa's plastic waste crisis.

Why it matters:
This is more than a school expo. It's a vision of Africa led by its youth. These learners are not just studying science; they're applying it to transform communities, address power crises, improve public health, and rethink sustainability.
Initiatives like these spark the homegrown solutions that BRICS and Agenda 2063 champion, as the continent grapples with energy challenges, environmental threats, and youth unemployment.
Africa's future isn't waiting. It's being built—one school science expo at a time.
