In this episode of Truth Africa Series (brought to you by Historical Africa), we will be reacting to Dr. Henrik Clarke speech on religion in Africa.

The colonization of Africa was not just about political control; it also aimed to reshape African societies in the image of the colonizers.
One way this happened was through religious imposition. European powers, driven by a belief in their cultural and religious
superiority, sought to convert Africans to Christianity, often suppressing indigenous religions in the process. This cultural assimilation
served to consolidate control and legitimize colonial rule.

Religion has often been an instrument used to maintain power and control over populations. In the context of Africa, religion
was used as a tool to justify economic exploitation and the subjugation of Africans. Missionaries preached the superiority of
European Christianity, portraying African religions as primitive or demonic, and using this narrative to justify colonization and the
extraction of Africa's resources.

The conversion of Africans to foreign religions was also strategic for maintaining political and social control. By imposing their
religions, colonizers sought to weaken traditional societal structures, including indigenous spiritual practices, which often played a
significant role in governance and cultural identity. Conversion to foreign religions served to alienate Africans from their traditional
roots, making them more submissive to colonial authority.

For decades, Africa has given the world its brightest minds, strongest labor, and richest cultures—often without recognition.

“Decade Of Our Repatriation: How Africans Quietly Enrich Europe” exposes the untold story of African migration and contribution across Europe. From healthcare and academia to technology, sports, and culture, Africans have become silent pillars of European development—while the narrative often ignores their value.

This video explores:

How African professionals sustain key European industries

The economic, cultural, and intellectual impact of African migrants

Why Africa continues to lose talent—and who truly benefits

The growing call for repatriation, return, and African self-reliance

This is not just about migration—it’s about truth, history, dignity, and the future of Africa and its diaspora.

Watch, reflect, and join the conversation.

⁣Unmasking Enslavement Myths

The movement of tectonic plates may take millions of years, but in Northern Ethiopia, you can see it happen in real time. In recent years, Ethiopia's Afar region has been hit with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and huge cracks have suddenly appeared which run for miles. It’s the start of the formation of a new ocean, which will one day split Africa in two.

Franck Zanu of @FranckZanu joins the State of the Nation for one of the most explosive and thought-provoking conversations we’ve had all year.

Zanu — whose viral insights on Africa, culture, development and geopolitics have sparked global debate — confronts the ideas many leaders avoid:
• Why African countries continue to struggle economically
• What “culture” really means for development
• Why corruption isn’t the true root cause
• How colonialism is misunderstood
• Why South Africa’s political structure is destined for conflict
• The controversial “tribal nation” model he believes could save the continent
• And why Western countries secretly want Africa to succeed

This is not a conversation about blaming or excuses.
It’s a conversation about responsibility, culture, identity, and hard truths.

If you care about Africa’s future, South Africa’s political direction, or global geopolitics — you will not forget this episode.

✨ Tell us in the comments: Is Franck Zanu right or wrong?
