Along the Original African political thought and spectrum, we have three political perspectives – the colonials, nationalists and pan Africanist.
1/ The Colonials could also be defined as Nigerian nationalists that work to keep the status quo within the confines of the nation-state created by British and managed by Fulani.
They lack the political understanding that political platforms are an advancement of cultural platforms, especially since many of the Colonials suffer from racial/culturally inferiority complexes.
Without a culturally induced political platform of their own to achieve political power the Southern Colonial politicians always seek alliances with the British military cabal made of colonial soldiers or the Fulani Islamists, where they play second fiddle and never achieve the aspirations of their Original African platform.
While majority are ignorant opportunists and optimists, the leadership are mainly the modern day house Negro, the mercenary race sellout, who blames his people, the victims, and not the enslaving system. He is placated by promises of a better future if he can enslave his collectives aspirations until a tomorrow that never comes.
2/ The Yoruba Nationalists could also be viewed as Odua/Biafra Separatists, who out of frustration in the British geographic representation called Nigeria, seek to withdraw into an ill-defined tribal enclave.
While they are aware and agitate against Fulani imperialism, they are ignorant or permissive of Euroasian/British-American imperialism. Some are just blatant ill-informed tribalists that detest all other ethnic groups, including indigenous Africans like themselves, while receptive and subservient to global White supremacy.
The Yoruba separatists claim to be followers of Awolowo’s Egbe Omo Oduduwa but have failed to understand and advance the tenets of the Sage, who realized that the strongest most sustainable political platform is built on the widest attainable cultural sphere, tying common origins to collective aspirations.
Unfortunately despite advances in knowledge, they have remain rooted to the pre-independence geographic and linguistic boundaries defined by the limits of knowledge in Awolowos era.
Basically, to gain true power, they have failed to move from Egbe Oduduwa, the progenitor of Yorubas, to Egbe Orunmila, the progenitor of the Black civilizations that comprised of all present inhabitants of South and Middlebelt of Nigeria, who form 70% of the population.
Rather than being true revolutionaries, they follow the Eurocentric concepts of the nation-state and what really is the extent of the Yoruba cultural sphere.
Instead of reversing the restrictive concept of nation-states introduced in 1800s to colonize Africans, they seek to further divide Africans into European styled nation-states and restrict our economic growth.
Instead of liberating Yorubas, the focus is on creating a nation-state of their own, in order to deal directly with the White master and not through Fulani’s. They disregard the fact that none of the 50 other mainly small and less diverse countries have been able to develop and still remain in the clutches of the European imperialists.
3/ Original African Global Traditionalist, previously categorized as Pan Africanists, has redefined the concept of Africanism from geographic Pan-africanism to cultural Pan-Africanism based on the fact that Africa is made up of two cultural spheres: Original/Indigenous Africans and Afro-Asians.
An Awoist and Zikist, he recognizes like Awolowo that the strongest political platforms are built by tying common origins to collective aspirations, and like Zik, he recognizes the overwhelming influences of White supremacy and need for a broad based African coalition to gain true freedom.
Unlike the other political perspectives above, who are mainly Abrahamic in faith, they embrace their African traditions and religion, which enables them to identify and establish cultural linkages with other Original African traditionalists, African-Americans, Haitians, Afro-Brazillians and other Black Diasporans, who propagate Yoruba/Igbo Original African culture/religion mixed with liberation theology.
The Black Diasporans have recently been labelled by White Supremacists as being Black Supremacists, even though they do not posses an cultural or territorial imperialistic tendencies.
Armed with modern cultural and genetic anthropological knowledge, the Original African traditionalists realize that all original African cultures came out of present day Southern and Central Nigeria and with global demographic, economic and political knowledge know it is possible to reinstate Original African global prominence.
They resent Euro-Asian concepts and dogma like Abrahamic religions used for cultural imperialism and the 1700s tribal labels propagated by Eurocentric scholars, which divided 2 main groups into over 2000 tribes to help divide and rule. The true traditionalists are never tribalistic.
He resents the European concept of nation-states that replaced the ancient African citystate geopolitical and economic structure, therefore aims to abolish all European boundaries.
Unlike the Odua/Biafra separatists, it is recognized that the Black Race need their own trading bloc, like USA is to Whites and China is to Asians. He realizes that no single tribe can stand against European United States, United Kingdom and United Nations.
Starting from restructuring in Nigeria to give each state and ethnicity their power of self determination over their culture, resources and destiny, instead of the present system of one foreman who centralizes all power on behalf of our colonizers.
This restructuring and liberation process will spread across Africa to enable free trade and sociopolitical interaction, knowing that it will be a win-win scenario for all Original African groups.
Especially Southern Nigeria, the oldest, most populous and prosperous of all that will attract and gain most from the Original African sphere that extends from Gambia to South Africa. It will not only gain in trade but political power as it unites all Original Africans against predatory foreign interests.
