In episode 68 of Global Majority for Peace, Nigerian investigative journalist David Hundeyin, founder of West Africa Weekly and The Spearhead @spearhead_af joins Ileana Chan to discuss his journey from award-winning journalism to political exile and the brutal reality of U.S. imperialism in Africa.

David traces his political awakening to his father's preventable death, which launched him into a confrontation with the Nigerian establishment and a career of full-contact investigative journalism. He details his explosive exposé of Nigeria's current president as a convicted U.S. drug dealer and CIA asset, the subsequent lawsuit against the CIA, FBI, and DEA, and how he was placed on a no-fly list after the 2020 Lekki massacre before fleeing into exile.

Together, Ileana and David explore what it truly means to be a politically conscious journalist in an age of empire, the revolutionary potential of the Alliance of Sahel States, and whether the multipolar world offers the Global South a genuine path out of dependency.

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

Presenter: Dr. Amina Blackwood Meeks
Founder and Artistic Director of Ananse SoundSplash,

Ananse, the Spider-god of the Akan people of Ghana has survived in stories across the African diaspora. This qualifies him to be a symbol of African cultural retention. Yet he continues to be regarded with ambivalence. This perhaps mirrors the value placed on African retention, still searching for an honourable place in national life, excluded from discourse about “serious matters” such as national development and education, made to operate at the margins as entertainment, as metaphor for the undesirable and confined to spaces of near invisibility. Yet the impact of globalisation on the identity of post- colonial peoples and the resources available to determine their own agenda demand a change in this profile.

Whether you're a student, researcher, cultural practitioner, or simply curious about Jamaica’s heritage, this session will deepen your understanding of the African elements that continue to enrich our culture.

🎥 Tune in for a thought-provoking and culturally grounding presentation.

• Paul Goss
Dr. Paul Goss, founder and president of NEW BODY PRODUCTS, was the 8th child of 10 born to Sam and Annie Goss in Canton, Georgia. He grew up in a small company town, Alcoa, Tennessee.
In this rural setting he received the basis for an international education. Not in the poorly funded segregated school, but from two of his neighborhood’s African elders. Mitchell, known as the “Root Doctor” and Ms. Bellamy, known to some as “The Herb Lady”. They were the local “root workers”. They knew the healing value of herbs and plants and how to prepare them as cures. Dr. Goss interest in holistic cures began when they recognized his potential and began instructing him in ancient cures that were passed on to them in much the same way.
Dr. Goss continued his education at historic Stillman College in Alabama, where he received a masters in biochemistry. His real thirst for knowledge, however, simply could not be filled in a traditional college environment.
He went on to become an organic chemist for a large company. Through self-study, he continued to increase his knowledge in holistic healing. Building on his modest beginnings as apprentice to “Doc” Mitchell and Ms. Bellamy, he started to develop his skills as a holistic health practitioner.
By 1965, he had begun to share his largely self-taught knowledge of herbs and holistic healing with a growing number of clients. In 1976, he established NEW BODY PRODUCTS in Compton, California. His holistic knowledge had by now earned him the formal title of Naturopathic Doctor.
Using iridology for diagnosis along with herbal remedied and vegetarian diets for treatment, Dr. Goss helped people achieve the NEW BODY they needed or wanted through his unique application of the ancient art of holistic healing.
Dr. Goss has lectured on holistic topics in nearly every US state and 17 foreign countries including Mexico, Jamaica, Africa and Europe. He has written four books, “Forever Young”, “The Natural Way”, “The Rebirth of Gods”, and “The Eyes of Forever Young” used in many universities today.
