The Truths
That ‘People of Recent African Origin’© (PRAO), commonly referred to as “African” were taken outside Africa as Slaves is Truth. The first of them were two, stolen from the Shores around Mauretania, just coming up to the middle of the 15th Century. By the first Quarter of the 16th Century, the Enslavement of the PRAO had gathered fast Pace with ‘unimaginable Brutality’© of the West European facilitated largely by the ‘unremorseful Complicity’© of “very bad” – I borrow Expression from Donald J Trump Sr, the Felon 47th President of the United States of America – PRAO is Truth. Please note that PRAO can also mean ‘Person of Recent African Origin’©. I make my Distinction of PRAO from the Reality that all Human Lives began in Africa. This is another Truth. Again, I borrow Expression from a German Occidental – so called white – Biologist/Evolutionist I saw on Television some thirty Years ago who said “we are all Africans.” Thus, my PRAO represents those People who are “usefully” – again, I borrow Expression from Occidental Martin Bernal – called African. (Martin Bernal, Black Athena: the Afroasiatic Roots of classical Civilization ... . I read Volumes 1 & 2).
That Africa was colonised by European Imperialisms – different European Countries – is Truth. That again, very bad PRAO participated fully in the Colonization of own Lands by Occidental Invaders and Occupiers, is another Truth. It is Truth, overwhelmingly, that ancient Greece learnt from ancient Africa. Many of the renowned Grecian Scholars underwent Tutelage from Africans in Africa, and Africans in Greece. Those who did not directly go through this Process understudied those who did. The most celebrated of Grecian Philosophers, Teacher to Plato, the Fella called Socrates, was African. There should be no Debate about this if you pay Attention to how he described himself including with the Adjective of “swarthy.”
It is also Truth that very bad “Ala te nu je” Nigerians, especially quite despicable Nigerians bought by the “utter Corruption” of the Felon Bola Ahmed Tinubu, their ‘Usurper President’©, are busy denigrating the Efforts of African Countries, like Burkina Faso, where the Leader, like Military Captain Ibrahim Traoré, is making the Lives of ‘the People’ worth living. “O ma se o,” for these Excuses for Human Being(s). “They are absolute ‘Disgrace to Rationality’©. It is one Thing to be corrupt, it is another Thing, entirely, to be ‘debilitatingly corrupt’© as these Persons are, otherwise they would appreciate that the competent Management of a Country has nothing to do with Size, i.e , Nigeria vis-à-vis Burkina Faso, but all about the Integrity of those who insist they must control the Reins of Power in their Countries. Governance of a Country is not about ‘highfalutin Promises’©, Stupid, but all about Delivery of ‘Common Good Expectations’©. Capisci? My “O ma se o” is emphasized when I find young Nigerians celebrating this Curse on Nigeria of Felon “E mi lo kan” Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Are the young not wished to be the “Promise of the Future?” Ibrahim Traoré is Fulfilment of this Promise, as was Thomas Sankara before him, whose close Associate, Blaise Compaoré, ‘white Supremacy Doctrine’© used to murder him, as it is again trying to do with our “beloved Son, Ibrahim Traoré, in whom we are well pleased.” He puts the Hope in our Hearts. He makes us smile with Pride. He returns Dignity to the African Identity. He is ‘Am African, proud to be African, infused with African Greatness, not afraid to show the African Magnificence to the World’©. Traoré is worthy of all the Loves decent Peoples of the World can wish him, will him, and give him. Only the pure-hearted can applaud, and celebrate him. Is it Triumph when the superior Entity is killed by the Nonentity? If you say “yes,” and you are Judaeo-Christian, it means you are not capable of independent thinking thus you must always be taught. Was Jesus the Christ not killed by Nobodies? Only the Nobody murders or abuses Authority or Power to claim Victory. Some Nobodies are so Nobody that they plan and execute their evil Deeds clandestinely. Should we, for instance, ask where Compaoré is today? He is in Ignominy, and the Spirit of Sankara lives on to inspire the righteous. Right now Ibrahim Traoré is so far ahead of Bola Ahmed Tinubu when we talk of Dignity and/or Integrity, which Felon Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not even possess.
Look, I punish myself in begging Nigerians to demand their Entitlements. I will do it for Aeon till I die, but will never succeed in moving their “Ti Ara Mi ni kan” damaged Minds. On wishing Nigerians well, but they not wishing themselves similarly, I consider myself an Idiot. What exactly is my Problem? Why must I be concerned about a People who continually shout “Democracy,” yet after supposedly democratising the Process of who should rule them, accept the Visitation of Wretchedness on their Lives by the same Rulers they voluntarily choose to be their Lords? A ba, for me, truly.
Africa in Resonance
Africa is the Continent that gave Birth to Life. After Migrations of some of its Homosapiens to populate other Parts of the World, and distinct Races entrenching, it became a “Probematic” thousands of Centuries later what those who stayed behind called their Land. We resolved this Problematic, and are still resolving it by insisting that the ‘stayed behind Populations’© called the Land “Alkebulan.” In 1987, I wrote a Piece for a Paper in London, England in the UK making that Pitch. See the Image below at a Time I was misrepresenting my Family Identity to please ‘Western Surname Dogma’©. Besides, it was the Rendition my Father imposed on me (and his other Children). I have put “and his other Children” in parenthesis because I recognize my Siblings might not agree with me that presenting their Surname as their Father did is Imposition. My Father misguided us whether they accept it or not. They all know that his Father never bore “Daniyan.” The Rendition is actually ‘dan Iyan’, and it is not a Surname in the Western Tradition. It is 'Lineage Title'©, kind of ‘Familial Recognition’© both a Description and Explanation of a Genealogy Tree. It was not a Surname until the “Western Acculturation” of my extended Family. Each Word has own Meaning. The first Word ‘dan’ signifies Relationship to the second Word ‘Iyan’. My Father’s Father, paternal Grandpa, was never hailed by that ‘genealogical Title’©. He did not need to. He had own individualized Title.
I concede that my younger Ones might not know that the older brother to our Father, whom they were all familiar with, did not bear “Daniyan” as Surname until 1970, the Year I was 13 Years of Age. That older brother had gone by one of our Grandfather’s Names. He left the Title alone because it belonged only to his Father. I wish he had been resolved enough to have maintained that Name. Nevertheless, I thank him for carrying one of his Father’s Names as Surname until I was old enough to question why two brothers, born of the same Mother and Father, would have two absolutely different Surnames. My Father also told me their eldest brother went by the Surname of “Jackson.” My Father was Western educated – he was a Police Prosecutor, inter alia – he knew what “brother” meant in the English Language. His Father was a Muslim. My Grandfather certainly did not carry around a ‘Judaeo-Christian derived Name’©. ‘Jackson’ would have been plucked from the Air, or inflicted by an ‘imperialist Buffoon’©.
If you read my Article above of 38 Years of Age, and closely, you would notice that I was not subscribing to the Description of “Africa” for the Continent. One Reality, you could not, and cannot gather from the Article is that it was a Time I was eager to discover my History as a Human Being, having emerged from Relegation to Subspecies for Centuries by ‘racial Slavery’©, and ‘racial Colonization’©, and being personally born into ‘racial Colonization’. I was lapping up Information, and deducing my Knowledge without, what I call in later Life, triangulating my Pieces of Information. However, by 1990, three Years after writing that Article, when I started writing what I thought would be my ‘Magnum Opus’ on Africa – still might be – I had come to realize that the Word “Africa” might indeed have emerged from indigenous Tongues of the “Cradle of Mankind,” but corrupted by Transliterations of Grecian, and Roman Tongues. This is especially the Case as Traces/Foundations of the Word are found in both the Languages of ancient Khart Haddas – transliterated to the Grecian ‘Carthage’ – Today’s Tunisia, and ancient Kmt – transliterated to Grecian ‘Egypt’ – Today’s Egypt. I have no Reason to discount ‘Alkebulan’ too as original to the African Continent. We know that in the Histories of Peoples all over the World they have called or described themselves by different Names at different Times, and at times simultaneously.
Africa as the original Civilization
I watched this https://youtu.be/F0YX40FuAJc?si=5Ez2u5d0R7goLcSY, but I was not surprised. I have always known that such Brilliance of Mind has been the African Glory. We gave the World the principal Religions of Judaism, Judaeo-Christianity, and Islam. We educed “Democracy” first as Practice before crystallizing it as Philosophy. If you question me on the Advent of Democracy, go read ‘The Histories’ by Herodotus, an ancient Greek born about 500 Years before Jesus the Christ. I have read all nine Books in ‘The Histories’. You should also read ‘Plutarch's Lives’, by Plutarch, another ancient Greek born some 50 Years after the Death of Jesus the Christ. However, in reading these two Occidental (‘white’) Historians, you need to have the Cognition to pull together “apparently unrelated” Pieces of Information, and decipher them. If Africa gave the World Democracy, it gave the World Civilization, ipso facto. The Spoilers to the African ‘Magnificence of Mind’© were introduced, by own Hands. Africans facilitated the Savagery of European Imperialisms in the ‘Racial Slavery’© of Africans, and the ‘Racial Colonization’© of Africa. If you doubt me on the ‘Magnificence of the African Mind’©, Mrs Kemi Badenoch and the likes of you, please go read Man’s most dangerous Myth: the Fallacy of Race (1942-1947) by Professor Ashley Montagu (PhD); an Occidental, born English, and naturalised American. I draw your Attention, Mrs Badenoch, to the following Observation in that Book of: "At the time when Caesar set foot in Britain the African Negro kingdoms and their peoples were from the cultural standpoint in an incomparably more advanced state of development than the Britons, upon whom they might well have looked as a "primitive" people." This is very straightforward English, Kemi Badenoch. I must say, though, that I do not agree with Montagu that ‘Race’ is “Fallacy” (I prefer not to use “fallacious” or precede ‘Fallacy’ with the Article ‘a’. ‘Fallacy’ is uncountable). ‘Race’, for me, is simply Taxonomy aka Typology, i.e., ‘superficial Difference’© in the Human Species. It is kind of ‘biologically incomprehensive’©, but how else can you describe, not explain, the Differences in Human Appearance? W.E.B. Du Bois (PhD), and African-American followed Dr Ashley Montague with: "There can be no doubt that the cultural level among the masses of Negroes in West Africa in the fifteenth century was higher than that of Northern Europe." (The World and Africa: an Inquiry Into the Part which Africa Has Played in World History, 1947).
The Spoilers of European Imperialisms retarded Progression of the African into Modernity. The leading Lights of Humanity were brutalized into submitting to the “Indoctrination of the Self” as unworthy, and the Majority till Today are so acculturated to that ‘Self Diminution’©. You only need to pay close attention to Persons like Kemi Badenoch who misleads herself that the educated British would buy into her stereotype of them, by Implication, as ‘collectively racist’© or ‘collectively racialist’©. I can bet her that many educated Britons (British), certainly the Ones I have met, and I was a Card-carrying Member of the Conservative Party twice, would view her with Scorn for her (i) absolute Dearth of Understanding of African History prior to European Imperialisms, and (ii) Inability to educate herself. She ain’t scoring “Brownie Points” with that Segment. I am not going to deny it or justify it; yep, Africa Today is ‘Mess of Governance’©, but I have already explained the Situation, above, as the African Self-Indoctrination and ‘self-diminishing’© as worthless, unless fully acculturated to Western Doctrines, Inspirations, and Quest for the Subversion of Worldviews not aligned with “Western Supremacy.” Today, for Majority of African Families, this Subjugation of the Self to Western Values is so ‘subsuming’© that even their African Names are disowned for Western Names. This Calamity will besiege those Families for Generations, perhaps, ad infinitum, but they do not know this. One’s Name is One’s primary Identity that I place within Louis Althusser’s “hailing” (‘Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses’ (1969) in Lenin and Philosophy and Other Essays, 1971). When you have lost that primary Identity, what else can signify your Origin? What is your Essence?
In View of my Narrative above, I can never be surprised that Generations of Africans will continue to attempt to assert the Brilliance of African Minds notwithstanding Western Barbarism to always seek to murder the leading Thoughts in these re-emerging African Greatness.
