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.
