Barely Seven months after my son traveled to Latvia, Northern Europe, to study Electrical Engineering. He began complaining about racism. He said he was being targeted, and treated badly. As parents, we advised him to finish his exams and return home so we could reassess everything together.
Then one day, we received a disturbing voice note from him.
He said some classmates approached him, claiming they did not agree with how others were treating him and wanted to be friends. They exchanged phone numbers, and later, these same classmates came to visit him. During the visit, they offered him a drink.
After taking the drink, he began to feel unwell.
He rushed himself to the hospital, where he was told that he had been poisoned. Thankfully, he was treated and discharged. Before leaving the hospital, he shared with his mother the names of the individuals who had given him the drink.
Because of the seriousness of the situation, we immediately booked a flight for him to return home the following week.
But a few days later, something changed.
Our calls were no longer going through. He stopped answering his phone. We became extremely worried.
Then one day, someone finally picked up.
It was a police officer.
And that was when we were told the words no parent should ever hear, our son was dead.
I flew to Latvia immediately, when I arrived and saw his body, it was covered in bru!ses.
Yet we were told that he had jumped from the top floor. This explanation does not add up, and we definitely do not believe this story.
This is the true story of #NanaAgyei, a young man whose life was cut short, and whose Ghanaian parents are now seeking Justice.
NB: Please hastag #NanaAgyei's Life Matters, #EndRacism #Latvia #Justice.

Between the 1960s and the 1980s, under the guise of "countering Communism," the CIA infiltrated Christian movements all over Africa and the Global South with the mission of steering Christian doctrines away from so-called "Liberation Theology" (teachings that encouraged people to stand up to corrupt governments and take collective action to better their lives), because this doctrine apparently was "Communist."
It funded and assisted the explosive growth of a whole new form of Christianity, which you recognise today as Prosperity Gospel, and it pumped millions of dollars into pushing it all over the Global South as part of its Cold War effort. This new doctrine ignored any kind of collectivism and encouraged people to see their Christian faith and salvation as individualistic issues that can be measured with specific individual outcomes, such as economic "blessing."
It was the perfect capitalist trojan horse because it convinced people to stop thinking of progress as a shared national issue and rather as an individual responsibility, which meant they did not need to organise into pressure groups, political movements, trade unions, student unions, or any other collectivist entities that the US government considered "Leftist" or "Communist." It succeeded wildly, and turned the world's poorest people in Sub Saharan Africa into rabid, money-obsessed capitalists without capital.
And in case you're wondering whether this means that all your mega pastors in Lagos and Abuja are US government-funded industry plants, the answer is simple: do a 1-minute Google search and find out where they all gained their theology degree or pastor training. There's your answer.
Anyway this is all on open record on the FOIA section of the CIA's own website, but the oyibos have convinced you that "Africans don't read," and you have internalised your own false stereotype, so you definitely won't read regardless. Your job is to enter my comment sections and drop laughing emojis because your forced laughter is your coping mechanism for dealing with how completely powerless and lost you are in a world you haven't begun to understand.
Anyway for the benefit of the 2 people who understand the value of reading and exervising their brains:
