IANA Blog- February 2026

Image
  Blog Happy February and Happy Black History Month, For the February blog, I actually want to talk about something that happened in January. I wanted to talk about a recent feud that has been brewing up between legendary Afrobeat artist and activist Seun Kuti…and the fanbase of legendary Afrobeats artist Wizkid, aka Wizkid FC. Like I said, this happened in January, on January 11th, which was Seun Kuti’s birthday. As I was getting ready to post “Happy Birthday” to Seun Kuti online, I saw this video featuring Seun Kuti where he addresses Wizkid fans aka Wizkid FC, who apparently have been going online and comparing Wizkid to Fela Kuti, or saying he’s bigger or better than Fela Kuti. In the video, Seun says “Let me say this thing, straight up again. Keep Fela’s goddamn name out you Wizkid FC fanboys f**king mouths! Keep Fela’s name out you Wizkid FC mouths! First of all, what makes this thing funny is that you people try to steal the man. You try to steal the man. You try to claim th...

IANA Blog- January 2026

  Blog Happy January and Happy Gregorian New Year, As 2026 starts, I wake up on January 3rd and find out that Donald Trump and the U.S. just dropped a bomb in Venezuela and captured their President, Nicolas Maduro. Seeing that reminded me of what he did last month in Nigeria. For this month’s blog, I didn’t want to talk about it, but I knew I had to, and get some things off my chest. Last month, during Christmas, the U.S. and Trump dropped air strikes in Nigeria. The U.S. is supposedly going after militants tied to the Islamic State group in Northeastern Nigeria. Before dropping their strikes, Trump says he was going to fight “terrorism” in Nigeria. That “terrorism” was when Christians were being killed in Nigeria.  After hearing about the attack, I saw the news about it on social media. I saw Nigerians that were furious about the attack, but I also saw too many Nigerians congratulating Trump for doing that. I saw too many Nigerians saying, “Thank You Trump,” and “ God Bless T...

IANA Blog- November 2025

Image
  Blog Happy November, As 2025 is winding down, there were different things I wanted to talk about this week, from the Christian murders that were happening in Nigeria this month, to Trump wanting to “send troops” to Nigeria, but honestly, I wanted to talk about something that I had talked about before… The Genocides happening in Palestine, The Congo and Sudan. Over the past couple of months, I have noticed more people joining the movement, speaking out for a Free Palestine, which is what I was hoping for. As more people are taking part in speaking on the Palestinian genocide and are speaking for Palestine. As that is growing, I’ve been seeing people also speak out on the genocides happening in Sudan and The Congo. As mentioned, I’ve spoken about what’s happening in both Sudan and The Congo, but unfortunately, the media is still silent on what’s happening. As more people have been speaking out on all genocides, I’ve also noticed something that I unfortunately saw coming…I’ve seen p...

IANA Blog- October 2025

Image
  Blog Happy October, For this month’s blog, I wanted to pay tribute to a political activist, revolutionary, one of the faces of the Black Power/Black Liberation movement and one of the greatest freedom fighters to ever live, Assata Shakur, who died on September 25th, five days before October started. Assata passed away from health issues in Havana, Cuba. Before I go on, I wanted to talk about who she was before I pay tribute to her, especially for members of IANA who don’t know who Assata Shakur was. Assata Shakur was born JoAnne Deborah Byron on July 16, 1947 in New York City. She lived between New York and Wilmington, North Carolina. Because her family struggled with poverty and argued over it, she would run away and live with her aunt Evelyn A. Williams, who was a civil rights worker, who she looked up to. Assata would later get a GED after dropping out of Cathedral High School, a Catholic all-girls high school in Manhattan, New York. She had dealt with discrimination from her ...
