In Nigeria, ethnicity did not merely emerge as an identity—it evolved into a currency of power. Renowned historian Professor Toyin Falola, University Distinguished Teaching Professor and holder of the Frances and Jacob Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at The University of Texas at Austin, looks at how ethnic belonging was transformed from a marker of culture into a political weapon within the Nigerian state.To order Falola’s books, visit udarabooks.com Or chat with Udara Books on WhatsApp: +2348099918449

Tensions are rising once again in Burkina Faso after reports emerged that authorities under Captain Ibrahim Traoré moved against a prominent imam, sparking outrage, confusion, and heavy public reactions. Supporters of the military-led government argue that the action was necessary to protect national stability and prevent influential figures from fueling division during a critical period in the country’s fight against insecurity and terrorism. But critics believe the arrest raises serious concerns about freedom of speech, religious influence, and the growing concentration of power under the current leadership.

As protests grow and debates intensify online and on the streets, many people are asking the same question: what really happened behind the scenes? Was this purely a security matter, or is there a deeper political struggle unfolding inside Burkina Faso? With emotions running high, conflicting narratives have emerged, making it difficult to separate facts from propaganda.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré remains one of the most talked-about leaders in Africa today, admired by many for his bold anti-colonial rhetoric and efforts to redefine Burkina Faso’s alliances. However, incidents like this continue to spark concerns about governance, dissent, and the balance between national security and civil liberties. In this video, we break down the controversy, the protests, the political implications, and the details many international media outlets are not fully discussing.

⁣Father's Day 2023 with Baba Kamau Kambon. Surprising Dad with the cheesecake he was raving about that he had a few months ago. He was so selfless that he wanted to share it even though it was made specifically for him. We didn't know this would be his last Father's Day. I didn't even remember this happened.
