Have you ever glanced at a commercial on local TV in Nairobi, Lagos, Durban or Kigali and found yourself questioning why the characters, scenarios, voices, and sometimes even language does not represent the African audience that the commercial is apparently aimed at?

In this groundbreaking report for The Spearhead, Mckay Chukwu outlines the historical and economic rationale behind the weird and unsettling tradition of representing Africans using foreign depictions in African commercial messaging, and why this is not simply a quirky, harmless phenomenon.

The report examines how the marketing communications industry across Africa and the diaspora plays a pivotal role in creating and maintaining socially harmful ideas in the public imagination including racial, cultural and ethnic inferiority complexes, and the desire to "fix" or "mitigate" some aspect of African identity by spending money on consumer offerings.

The recent abduction of dozens of schoolchildren, teachers, and even toddlers from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State has sent shockwaves across Nigeria. In a chilling display of brutality, one of the teachers, Michael Oyedokun, was beheaded by the abductors. Among the victims are children as young as one to four years old, teenagers, and members of staff.

For many Nigerians, the attack raises troubling questions. How did a region once considered relatively secure become vulnerable to such violence? Is this an isolated criminal act, or evidence of a deeper and more dangerous trend? Are violent extremist groups and terrorist networks gradually extending their reach into southwestern Nigeria?

To examine these questions, I am joined by Taiwo Adebayo, researcher and security policy advisor on the Lake Chad Basin and West and Central Africa at the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria, South Africa. Adebayo is an award-winning journalist and investigator who has reported on some of Africa's most significant security and governance issues, including cross-border criminal networks, violent extremism, and corruption.

⁣Benin is considered the home of voodoo, a religion often portrayed as black magic. Many voodoo rituals are shrouded in mystery and misunderstood. So are voodoo convents that are scattered across southern Benin. Local children spend months and even years behind the convent walls because their parents send them there. They believe it would appease the spirits in case of an illness or bad luck.
In voodoo monasteries, children are given new names and are forbidden to use their old ones, wear old clothes and speak their native language. Instead, they study voodoo customs and language and are initiated into secrets. Leaving a voodoo monastery requires a special ceremony that costs parents $50, an unaffordable sum for most in Benin.
Voodoo priests and supporters say keeping children in convents is necessary to preserve voodoo culture and traditions, but activists disagree. Children confined in convents miss out on education and sometimes have no one to return to because their parents are not around anymore. Activists from organisations like ReSPESD seek to reduce the time children spend in convents and cut the price of a release ceremony.
Activists are also working with local leaders in the programme, explaining the importance of education for Beninese children. While many are ready to change, some remain adamant. Hear from voodoo priests, local kings and children about life inside the convents and what voodoo means to them.
