    Be careful. Don't let them do what they did and still do to African Americans – steal yo shyt! Before you know it, YT will be the face of Afrobeat and claiming they created it like Country, Rock n Roll, Jazz, Blues, etc.

    As a black guy (from Germany nonetheless) I wonder if it would be OK – even celebrated on mainstream news – if Taylor Swift called her next album "White is King"?

    Just saying …

    Afrobeat is a Nigerian music genre that involves the combination of West African musical styles (such as traditional Yoruba music and highlife) with Black American funk, jazz, R&B, hiphop and soul influences……

    My people black Americans literally influenced the ENTIRE WORLD.

    I instantly fell in love with AfroBeats as soon as I heard. Not from TikTok but from the BBC Stations that I listen to on Weekends. Bein born and raised Afro American (Black)😊, with R&B, Hip Hop, Etc. I’ve always wonder what it would be like if I could connect to my African Roots and Ancestry and listen to music. Luckily I use my phone as a tool and discovered AfroBeats on my own through London Radio Stations. Although I was alittle late, I’m still glad I still have a chance to use my phone as a tool and listen to other parts of the world and what’s popular over there than just America

    'redeyed' A group that pursues the truth. It's a fight against lies. Let's get rid of the Illuminati Antichrist forces that threaten humanity. Let us create an organization like this now for justice and peace!!!! Hurry up and do it now!!!!

    If 666,660 comes out in English Gematria numerology, it is the antichrist.

    List of antichrists we need to eliminate: Communist Party of the People's Republic of China, Elon Musk, Christmas, Santa Claus, Halloween, Democratic Party of Korea, Russia, Japanese Communist Party, Kim Jong Un, President of the United States, AI Sophia, computer, Nephilim, Bill Gates, Joseon Democratic People's Republic of Korea Workers' Party, People's Republic of China Korean-Chinese, George Bush, Barack Obama, Theodore Roosevelt, Jesuits, Corona Virus, Junior Joe Biden, Korean Idol, Korean Celebrity, aliens, United States Democratic Party, Muslim forces, WHO, UNESCO, Nephilim Giants, New York Times, Bilderberg, aliens pretending to be aloe plants, the Roman Catholic Pope, Francis, the British royal family, Apple (corporate), the NIV Bible, the New Age Bible, the Illuminati, PCism, communism, leftist groups, devil disbelievers, freedom democracy terrorist group

    The Pacific War is the Illuminati People's Republic of China Communist Party Spy United States Democratic Party. This is the war that President Roosevelt started.
    The Nanjing Massacre was fabricated by the Illuminati. It was fabricated by the Communist Party of Japan (1922), the Democratic Party of the United States of America, the Soviet Union, and the Communist Party of the People's Republic of China. No matter how much history is fabricated, the truth will win in the end. Galileo Galilei's claim that the earth is round is also not true. That too will surely come to light someday. Japan did not go to war with the United States of America, but fought alone with the United States Democratic Party, the Illuminati, and the Western powers, and liberated all of its Asian colonies. The Korean government and Koreans, subordinate to the Illuminati, are sending false history to the world. Koreans, please keep spreading lies around the world. That lie will turn into a great weapon that goes around the world and drives you into crisis. The main character of my favorite Japanese animation, 'Attack on Titan', said, "I will build it with my own hands, without leaving a single one!" I like this line. Nimrut is China's Emperor Heonwon, Gojoseon's Hwanung, and a place overlooking Korea. In other words, it is Japanese Ninigi Hwanung who received the three divine spirits in the Yoseo region. Apollo 11 did not go to the moon. Genghis Khan is Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Chinese character name: Wonuikyung), and the reason he expanded his territory was not because of greed, but to fight the antichrist Illuminati. The Illuminati rule the world with money. In a word, money is debt. The central bank is promised to inflate money and lend money to private banks. On May 17, 1980, North Korean puppet special forces, who had infiltrated the beaches of Jeollanam-do, arrived in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Jeollanam-do, and on May 18, 1980, North Korean puppet special forces disguised as citizens declared, "The martial law forces were killing people and making Gwangju uneasy." ", and spread it all over Jeollanam-do. The riot caused by the North Korean puppet special forces instigating the citizens of Gwangju, Jeollanam-do, who are anxious about this, is being distorted as a 'democratization movement'.

    Their plan: They are aliens from a highly developed future world after the end of humanity. They rebelled against God and were cast out of heaven and came to earth through the underworld, the bottomless hole. They killed Nimur and conquered Egypt. The reason they came to Earth is to conduct an experiment. It was the aliens who gave humanity the gift of civilization. The reason they came to Earth is to build up their strength and fight against the kingdom of heaven again. Even though we can kill the Antichrist, we can't completely get rid of it… So… read the Bible well, become a Christian, and pray for help from a good alien angel. First you need to learn their abilities and create time travel technology to stop their plans. They have already appeared frequently in the East and West in ancient times, and are aliens pretending to be humans. In the present, where camera technology has developed, if their identities are discovered, the time line will collapse and the current universe will be sucked into a black hole. So.. they thoroughly hide their identities. We must go to the past in a time machine to find out the cause of why mankind perishes in the future, and prevent the destruction of mankind by going to the past time through a time machine to stop their plans and arrange the time line so that the time line does not collapse. The War of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus refer to the period of the coronavirus that came out in December 2019. So, in 2023, the rapture can take place… but after 2023, the Illuminati Antichrist takes control of the earth, inserts biological chips into humans, and monitors and controls whether or not they oppose the Illuminati Antichrist, so the Rapture can never happen. The Illuminati, which use the United States of America to rule the world, is the People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea disappear with the power of the Illuminati United States Democratic Party. That's their plan. So we must organize a secret society to oppose them. That's what 'redeyed' is. To stop their plans, Korea and Taiwan must first be annexed by Japan to pressure China. And the people of the People's Republic of China must be liberated from the Illuminati Communist Party and become one with Japan. And attack the United States to free the native yellow people of the United States and drive the white Illuminati United States of America to Europe. All white Catholics and Illuminati Democrats in the United States of America must be driven out of Europe. And all Christian whites who support the Republican Party must leave the land. This is because the original owner of the land is the aborigine of the yellow race. Black people are the servants of Noah (Bokhee). The yellow race are all humans created from sand by the Nephilim giant Nuwa. At that time, the continents of Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, North and South America, and Oceania were all continents inhabited by the Nüwa people of the yellow race. But later, Europeans and British came over and forcibly annexed it. In other words, it was the continent of the Nuwa people, the yellow race, which was forcibly taken away by Europeans. Nuwa's descendants are all Noah's people. They all helped build the ship and when the ship was finished. His children, slaves, his people, and beasts rode and time warped from the future to the past. The destination was the Middle East. The Illuminati are great actors. They are deceiving us by saying that they are Catholics (fake Christians), apostles of peace. Never be fooled. Find them with English Gematria numerology. It must be removed without mercy. Let's not celebrate the day of the curse on Halloween. The British royal family are all child-eating Nephilim reptilians. Don't call it Christmas, let's call it 'Rabbit White Day'. Let's celebrate Jesus on 'Rabbit White Day'. Communism was created by the Illuminati. And we must protect those who tell the truth. They are destroying Christians in order to establish a dictatorship. The foundation of communist society is capitalist society. Dictatorship can be done even in capitalism, but it cannot be done because there are many Christians. So the United States Democratic Party kills such Christians and in June-July 2023, the New World Order dominated by the Illuminati. That is, to establish a surveillance and control society. The United States Republican Party is trying to stop that. The content that alludes to that is George O'Will's book '1984'. The story is that an organization called Big Brother turns the world into a surveillance and control society. they use computers You should get rid of your computer. You should read Gyeonamyurok, the Joseon Prophecy. We must not surrender to fate.

    I recommend a Korean rabbi.

    Afribeat lovers… remember Fela played on Broadway and across the USA for almost 1 yr… I think it will be back soon 🙏
    But in the mean time listen to some of the old Afribeat singers i.e. Tony Tetuilla,, DBanj, 9ice, Tuface, Eedris Abdulkareem, Flavour, Tekno, Tiwa Savage, ,Ruggedman, P square, Uce Prince, Shank Don Jazzy, Brymo, MI, Plantation boys, Yemi, Asa, etc etc

    U all will be pleasantly surprised and this is just barely scratching the surface of the various OPENLY RECORDED Nigerian music hits & genres that started way back in the 1950s on TV !!

    Good luck on your African discovery trails folks … Cheers… 🤠
