The State of Africa is a narrative deep-dive into how Africa became what it is today; the history we weren’t taught, the systems that shaped us, the decisions that broke us and the possibilities that can rebuild us. Each episode unpacks a piece of Africa’s story and how that reflects today.
This is not a documentary. It’s an honest, human and reflective conversation. It is a journey through the past to understand the present. A reminder that Africa’s problems didn’t appear overnight & neither will the solutions. But if we understand how we got here, we can understand how to move forward.

The Benin Kingdom was not a myth. It was a global power. It was organized, artistic, diplomatic, and advanced.
The question is: Why were we told it was primitive?
