Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Obiajunwa Wali were the only two Africans that really believed in African literature- others are in it for money and fame   Looking for the families of Ngugi Wa Thiong'o in Kenya and Obiajunwa Wali in Nigeria Hello brothers and sisters  A day before the news of the departure (not death) of our brother Ngugi Wa Thiong'o broke out, I was listening to the songs of various female African musicians across the African continent.  I listened to the songs of musician, Monique Seka, who's from Ivory Coast. The songs I listened to was "Missounwa." Here is it  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MS1l-9thD2M After that, I listened to her other song "Okaman." Here is it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU7ML0lcM1s Then, I moved to Mali and listened to the song of Kamaldine, titled "Naderabi."  Here's it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBPpdi7H4lo I moved to Congo and listened to the song of Mbila Bell, titled "Bo ya ye."  Here i...

 Where is our mother of all bombs in Africa? Where are our nuclear weapons? The machine gun and the Berlin conference  I've been thinking aloud for some days now about the Israel-Iran conflict. And with the US entering the conflict, it's now a war, some people even say this could be the beginning of the third world war. This keeps me wondering: what if this conflict was between Israel and Nigeria?  What if this war was between Israel and Ghana? What if this war was between Israel and Uganda? What if this war was between Israel and Kenya or Zimbabwe or Ethiopia or Sudan or any other African country? If that was the case; how will we defend ourselves? I now fully realize why Dr. Amos Wilson, during one of his lectures asked; if white people decide tomorrow that they want to remove us Africans from this planet; how will we defend ourselves?  They've already tried doing that in the past, it's just that they didn't succeed. And there's nothing in history that says th...

The Oldest Story in the World The snake is the primary source for ALL virgin birth stories found in various religions across the world  The Origin of ALL Christo-Messiahships- Horus, Buddha, Krishna, Mithra, Zoroaster, Jesus, etc The oldest story in the world is not the Adam and Eve story of creation found in the bible or other "holy books" because that story itself came from an older story told thousands (if not millions) of years ago in inner Africa. The oldest story in the world was told by the people who lived near the place where science says the first humans lived- somewhere in Northern Congo and South Eastern Nigeria axis. By the way, and before I continue, if you'll like to understand how and why Africans are the oldest and first people to inhabit the world, see  Adam and Eve lived in Africa, not in Israel, not in the Middle East  for information on how genetic science proved it. Millions of years ago, ancient Africans, while living side-by-side with the snake in ...

 Death doesn't exist- There's no end, life has no end Death is an illusion Few days ago, someone asked me: where did we come from? Where will I go after death? First of all, there's no such thing as death because there's no beginning or end.  Death as an end comes from our perception. Beginning or end also comes from our perception as humans because we see everything in life begin and end. For example:- A day begins in the morning and ends at night. We go to work in the morning and close in the evening. We begin running a marathon and end when we touch the finish line or are tired. We begin eating and we finish eating. We begin bathing and we finish bathing. We begin writing a blog post and stop when we're done writing. We begin reading a blog post and end when we finish reading. We begin our lives during birth as babies and we end it at the time of so-called death. Etc, Etc. All these have programmed our brains that something must have a beginning and end. But it...

What is Black, Nigger, Kushi? Black, Nigger, Kushi means default color, the color of nature, the color of God The question of what is black is like asking “What is God”? Because there was nothing before black. Black is the default nature of nature itself. Do you understand what I just said? Black means default. For example; if all the suns in the universe go off, the universe will return to its defaultNESS which is black but seen as darkNESS. If you even turn off all the lights in your room, the room will return to its default state, which is black but seen darkNESS. Darkness and Default means the same thing. Before the beginning began, was BLACK seen as darkness.  In the Shabaka stone (a stone tablet where ancient Egyptian scientists told about the history of the universe) they said there was never an "in the beginning" rather that Nun (black) was always there. That's what our ancestors said in ancient Egypt but even the Egyptians got this idea from their older ancestors...

What is a Man? What is the role of a Man in culture and society? African men have lost the spirit of Kwame Nkrumah, Haile Selassie, Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, Nelson Mandela Disclaimer: I am fed up with men on the African continent. However, the purpose of this article is not to demean "African men" as I am a man myself but I am saying it as it is to see whether I can wake up black men on the African continent .  In one of his lectures, Dr. Amos Wilson: rhetorically asked a very important question that black men, specifically black men on the African continent must pay attention to in order to understand what men are supposed to represent for society.  Dr. Wilson asked: “What is a man?”  The reason he asked that question is because he noticed that the black man has been paralyzed with alien concepts imposed on us by Europeans.  Therefore, black men no longer understand what the role of a man is supposed to be in a society i.e that ALL the things imposed on us b...
