UNLOCKED (Full Episode) Sango Omojola | Terror + Faith: Inside the US Empire’s Playbook in Nigeria

To support our work and watch the Full Episode for free:   / empirewatch   In episode 63 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan speaks with Nigerian socialist and Pan‑Africanist organiser Sango Omojola @abasimperialism⁩ about how the United States deploys terror narratives and religious influence to undermine sovereignty in Nigeria and across West Africa. Drawing on the work of the Movement for African Emancipation (MAE) and the Coalition for the Elimination of Imperialism (CEIA), Sango breaks down how Washington’s latest attack on Nigeria fits into a long‑standing imperial playbook designed to control political processes in the Global South. Tracing the events from the Trump administration’s “Country of Particular Concern” designation to the Christmas Day strike justified under the banner of “counter‑ISIS,” Sango explains how manufactured terrorism is used to justify intervention, destabilise governments, and secure U.S. strategic interests. He also examines how religious institutions in Nigeria function as pillars of the neo‑colonial state, and why scientific socialist organising has become essential to countering their political influence. Sango offers a clear assessment of the Alliance of Sahel States’ media restrictions, the role of military security in revolutionary state‑building, and the emerging strategic partnerships with China and Russia. He argues that these alliances represent a break from Western dependency, not a lateral shift to new imperial masters, and outlines the tasks ahead for MAE as Africa enters a new phase of anti‑imperialist struggle. Sango Omojola, Socialist and Pan-Africanist activist, member of revolutionary Pan Africanist, grassroots organization, Movement for African Emancipation, based in Lagos, Nigeria.
