The machine gun and the Berlin conference- Africa must learn SCIENCE to survive into the future

 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 Vexed Question of African Languages in Education

The vexed question of African languages in education. Still, a solution may lay in front of us 

By Michel Lafon- professor of linguistics, University of Pretoria South Africa



If you follow this blog, you probably already know I wrote a book called intellectual slavery, the worst legacy of colonialism. I subtitled some of the chapters ''information the West don't want you to know.'' 

 It is very important Africans realize that the West wants us to think on a specific level and not to exceed certain perimeters.

It looks like the information I shared in the book is causing some people sleepless night. You may find it hard to believe, but ''miraculously'' almost all the web links that I cited in my book's bibliography, were all deleted the same week I published the book. Indeed, the old colonialists don't want Africans to be awakened!. 

Guess who deleted them? They were deleted by those who don't want us to be awakened by the type of issues being discussed on this blog!. If you already read the book, just go to the bibliography to verify for yourself. 

One of such deleted source is a paper titled: The Vexed Question of African Languages in Education by Michel Lafon. That's the link to the paper, and it looks like I would go on to publish all the other sources.
Work abroad

Professor Michel Lafon is a French man, a linguist, a lover of African people, and specialist on African languages. He's one of the few whites who are sympathetic to the plight of African people as it relates to our culture destroyed by Europeans. In the said paper, he and other contributors explored the importance of native language in education. They concluded that native African languages are the greatest tool to cause development in Africa if it could be used for education. This has been my own independent conclusion even when I never knew Mr. Lafon. 

The old colonialists don't like that type of information. They don't like anything that would make Africans think for ourselves because they want to be the ones thinking for us. This's why they've deleted web links cited in my book's bibliography.

Our native languages have been relegated to the back seat due to long years of slavery and colonialism which has us lose confidence that our languages could be used to do everything English or French or any other language could do. This has ultimately led to a situation where we don't accord much value to anything native to us or even have confidence in ourselves. 

Language, the greatest tool for development is wasting away because we are still blindly hooked to our colonial mentality and are unable to detach ourselves from slavery.

Kindly download the paper in PDF in google drive at The Vexed Question of African Languages in Education. It is just 27 pages read.

Role of Christian Missionaries in the Colonization of Africa- East Africa as a case study

By -
Image
Role of Christian missionaries in the colonization of East Africa Christian missionaries in East Africa (1). Missionaries signed treaties which were later used by colonialists to take over colonies e.g. Tucker, a British Missionary interpreted the 1900 Buganda Agreement to the regents of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II. This led to loss of political, economic and social powers to the British protectorate government. Sir Harry John stone who signed on behalf of the British government confessed that;      “I John stone shall be bound to acknowledge the assistance offered to me by the missionaries especially the CMS. Without their assistance on my side, I do not think Uganda’s chiefs would agree to the treaty which practically places their country and land in the British hands”. (From partition of Africa by Prof Sempebwa). (2). Missionaries supplied information to the colonialists which they utilized to plan how to effectively impose their colonial rule on how to crash t...

The Real Name For Africa is ALKEBULAN

By -

ALKEBULAN = Africa   How Europeans changed the name of Africa The Original name for Africa is ALKEBULAN: Arabic for "the land of original people" Alkebulan is the oldest and the only name of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians. Africa, the current name adopted by almost everyone today was given to this continent by a European invader by the name of Louis Africanus. Like all other methods of manipulation, the Romans sought to completely disconnect the indigenous Africans from their culture, deities, and knowledge. History of Louis Africanus and Alkebulan's name change Publius Cornelius Scipio battled Carthage– a powerful city-state in northern Africa which had established itself as the leading maritime power in the ancient world.  The First Punic War broke out in 264 B.C. when Rome interfered in a dispute on the Carthaginian controlled island of Sicily. The war ended with Rome in...

Jesus Christ Was a Black Man - According to the Bible

Jesus Christ was a black man-  according to the bible Before I begin, let me say this article is not about religion, but about history. I am not a religious person, I am not interested in religion. It's high time black people got to begin un-learning lot of the information packed into our minds courtesy of long years of slavery and colonialism. It is time for the black race to rise and claim what is ours. History has been distorted extensively to downplay the contributions of black people to humanity.  One glaring distortion is about the character called Jesus Christ in the bible, whom the ancient artists drew as a black man, ancient sculptors carved him as a black man, and even the bible itself described him as a black man in many passages. Before I go further, let me inform you that if you're a serious seeker and you're interested in digging deeper for the whole truth and nothing but the truth, no matter where it may lead to, then you'll need to first find out What...

The Oldest Story in the World- The Origin of ALL Christo-Messiahships

By -
Image
The Oldest Story in the World The snake is the primary source for ALL virgin birth stories found in various religions 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. Millions of years ago, ancient Africans, while living side-by-side with the snake in the wild, made the following classic observations about the snake: - 1. Some species of snakes give birth without having sex (immaculate conception) 2. The mother snake goes into hiding to give birth 3. Snakes give birth in a dilapidated place (manger, stable, farmhouse) 4. Be...

Death doesn't exist- There's no End, life has no End

 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...

Black history Documentaries, Books, Lectures, Audio books

Black history documentaries, books, lectures, audio books Resources to learn everything about black history, and more  Sorry that I haven’t posted for a while but as I explained in a previous article, that’s because I was writing a book. But I’ll begin writing another book immediately. It looks like I am transitioning to writing books instead.  It might surprise you that it’s not as if I love writing per se. I don’t even know whether I write well or not, rather I realized there’s so much information hidden away from black people, while we all move about as if all is well. That's the only reason I write. There is more information I need to drop in books, rather than online. There's a reason for that, and I'll explain shortly. Granted, the opinion I share and my books may not be popular now but I am doing it for the record, for the future generation when they begin looking for true information to set the African continent and black people free, they’ll discover my books. ...

The Impact of Colonialism on Africa's Economic Development

By -

The Impact of Colonialism on Africa's Economic Development The imposition of colonialism on Africa altered its history forever. African modes of thought, patterns of cultural development, and ways of life were forever impacted by the change in political structure brought about by colonialism.  The African economy was significantly changed by the Atlantic slave trade through the process of imperialism and the economic policies that accompanied colonization. Prior to the "Scramble for Africa," or the official partition of Africa by the major European nations,  African economies were advancing in every area, particularly in the area of trade. The aim of colonialism is to exploit the physical, human, and economic resources of an area to benefit the colonizing nation. European powers pursued this goal by encouraging the development of a commodity based trading system, a cash crop agriculture system, and by building a trade network linking the total economic output of a re...
