Note: Per text on video, i disagree with the usage of "Broken English" as that reduces our Black Languages and takes away our agency. It has a eurasian colonialist and racist origin. It's their perspective on how they look down on our languages, and we need to stop using their concepts as that has us self-discriminate. That aside, this is a great song covering the injected oppression of destroying one's melanin through skin lightening cancer creams.

Ghana just made $3 billion in only four months—without discovering a single new gold mine. So how did they pull it off? Here's a hint: Captain Ibrahim Traoré had something to do with it. But what’s the real story behind this unexpected windfall? Let’s dive in.

Sitting firmly in Africa's Golden Triangle with South Africa and Sudan, it was a top-tier producer. But in spite of this natural wealth, the nation hardly ever benefited from its hidden gems. Year after year, billions of dollars' worth of gold left Ghana, but only remnants returned to the country's economy.

Lack of ownership was the issue, not a shortage of gold. With everything but no control, this has been the silent tragedy of Ghana's mining industry. Foreign multinational corporations with headquarters in Canada, the UK, South Africa, and Australia were primarily in charge of running the nation's gold mines.

Under private contracts, these businesses extracted the gold, processed it abroad, and then sold it to customers throughout the world. The role of Ghana? Take a little cut, supply the dirt, and avoid the boardrooms where the real money is earned. The gold wasn't the only thing that remained.

It leaves behind data, pricing control, and profit transparency. Numerous mining companies underreported their profits, took use of legal loopholes, or just set up their operations in ways that allowed for tax evasion. The riches had already vanished abroad, concealed in offshore accounts and business spreadsheets, by the time government officials became involved.

Ghanaians pondered for years how we could have so many resources and yet face unemployment, debt, and a weak currency. So far, the response has been silence. Silence thereafter became the norm. Early in 2025, however, numbers—rather than a protest or a politician—broke that stillness.

Silent, emotionless figures. Ghana's gold earnings soared to $2.7 billion between January and April. That is more than three times what it made during the same time frame only two years prior.

Furthermore, in just four months, the quantity of gold exported virtually doubled, rising from about 7,500 kilograms in early 2023 to over 30,000 kilograms. These were neither estimations or optimistic forecasts. These were actual transactions that were documented in Ghana's central bank's books and monitored by the country's customs department.

Naturally, people wanted to know where all of this originated. Was there a fresh gold deposit discovered by Ghana? Did the output of mining suddenly increase overnight? The response was much more significant and fascinating. There was always gold. Ghana simply stopped allowing it to disappear.

It was not the mines that changed. Who was in charge of the exits changed. Ghana wasn't allowing private corporations to control what was left on the ground or where it went for the first time.

Now a gatekeeper was present. A fresh idea that wasn't from Accra was standing outside that fence. It originated in Ouagadougou, a nearby capital.

The Ghanaian government had not simply happened onto a fortunate quarter, you see. They were no longer content to be a passive participant in the mining industry after studying something and observing someone. Motivated by fresh leadership on the continent, they had taken a very conscious decision.

However, we must examine the impact that led to that change in order to comprehend how a silent policy decision generated billions of dollars in unexpected revenue. Not even the African Union, not the International Monetary Fund, and not a think tank. It came from Captain Ibrahim Traoré, a man in a green beret, a soldier rather than a scholar, a leader who had seized a nation that was in disarray and dared to defy the laws of international economics.

The new model was not created in Ghana. But they didn't hesitate when they saw it. They modified it.

Today we honor Amos Wilson.🖤

The gears that keep us running. The voice that gives us inspiration, motivation, and charts the path to psychological liberation. We want everyone—young and old—to know Amos and his work.

Not long ago, we were chatting with a few Wilsonians—those of uswho have sat at the feet of his teachings, who have had our minds reorganized by his words. And someone asked the question:"How old were you when you learned about Amos?"

One by one, the answers came. Twenty-five. Thirty-two. Forty.Forty-seven. All of them... too late.

There was a little bit of regret in that room. Not because we found him eventually—but because we wished we had found him sooner. We wished someone had placed his books in our hands when our minds were still forming. We wished his voice had been in our ears beforethe world convinced us of lies about ourselves.

We all wished we had heard his teachings earlier.

And right there, in that moment, something was born. Afrika's Army: An Amos Wilson Awakening.

Because the youngest among us deserve to grow up with Amos. They deserve to learn about the psychology of power before they learn about powerlessness. They deserve to understand that their mind is their wealth, their consciousness is their weapon, and their cultureis their foundation.

Afrika's Army is for our children.

So that one day, when they are asked, "How old were you when you learned about Amos?" — they won't have to say too late.

They'll say, "I grew up with him."

Happy Birthday, Dr. Amos Wilson. Your work lives on in the youngest soldiers of Afrika's Army. ✊🏿📚

✊🏿Join the legacy. Teach the children.

Singapore and Japan two client states of White Hegemony and Racism are two nations with no natural resources, no huge labour market and yet loan money and are creditors to the ENEMIEs of Black people.

RIP Claudius. 'Backra' is for the slave, is when the 'backra' is 'back', your back is raw. They always rip the slaves at the back, so when they hit them they said the 'back-ra(w)'. When they hit these guys the guy said (sings): 'Backraaaa massa, backraaaa massa, no give me them life I'm living here, 'cause when the sun goes down the moon comes around, the falling of one tribe is the rising of the other, if you see me mister Backraaaa massaaaa, no gimme them life I'm living ya, I'm gonna catch the freedom train that's bound to Zion I would say, I'm gonna catch that freedom train Backra massa, Backraaaa massa, Backra massaaa-a-a, no give me the life I'm living ya, no gimme them life I'm living here...'

We as Black people are no free...we arent even client states.

Black people do not have the power to sanction White, Asia or Arab leaders. We do not have the military power, We dont have control over our own markets...Black people who talk about this mythological Black Capitalism are people who want Black people to remain poor so they can make money off Black helpelessness.
