Corruption, murder, robberies, homosexuality, selfish ambition, broken families and many other signs of moral decadence are being witnessed across the Black Race, why?
We must take a critical review of what dictates our moral values and standards across today’s global Black communities.
Religion and formal education lay our knowledge foundations and give us our cultural identity and values, is this a case of garbage in, garbage out?
Instead of examining our religious foundations, we take it as a political issue and end up with CIA inspired corruption propaganda against our leadership, only to sink deeper into our moral depravity by those implanted by the imperialists.
We must take a non partisan political approach and study our cultural and moral foundations.
90% of Nigerians and 70% of African Americans are Abrahamists from birth. Before we learn to think, we are taught with examples from the Bible or Koran, therefore our moral and legal systems are dictated by Abrahamic thought.
This is a departure from Original African cultural platform based on naturalist laws of retributive justice – karma, Olorun Esan in Yoruba, Ofu and Ogu in Igbo, the two largest Original African groups (Niger-Kongo ethnolinguistic family).
The Bible starts with Cain and Abel, two brothers that killed themselves, moves to Ham, the mythical father of Black people, who sodomized his father, then to Abraham that pimped his wife to Pharaoh for Green card, then Jacob that scammed his father for inheritance, David that killed a man for sex with his wife all the way to Jesus, son of an unknown father that moved around with 12 guys and eventually went to disrupt their World Trade Centre at the temple, which earned him his crucifixion with armed robbers.
This is hardly a narrative that you breed children in and expect a stable society, and you wonder whether we really know what we are teaching our youth.
It was in 2002, after returning to London from my 7yr New York sojourn that I was dragged to church by my visiting mother, when I realized we knew exactly what we were doing. Pastor Ashimolowo recounted the above and concluded that all biblical characters were flawed characters who were uplifted by God, therefore we should not be concerned about raising our moral standards since we were all born in sin, but should seek God’s favor to overlook our immorality and seek his blessings. I was astounded but saw the congregation nod in approval.
After feeding our children with this moral garbage, we pass them to the Eurocentric school system whose literature teaches us about Macbeth that killed for the throne, Shylock who priced human flesh, Cesar that tells the story of how Egypt was lost due to a Black whore queen and he was stabbed in the back by his best friend.
We learn history that Mango Park discovered River Niger, our ancestral source of water for tens of thousands of years while his White ancestors were in caves. The usurper Arabic and European empires built on our gold and blood were highlighted despite accounting for less than 25% of the African population, while the huge Yoruba and Igbo populations were given mere footnotes.
So how do we expect children taught on this models of selfish destructive ambitions will turn out to be good citizens?
Some will argue that the Church used to inspire good communal behaviours but that was when we were slaves. During slavery, the Old Testament was taught to make us accept our slavery and it’s attendant inhumanity as God’s word due to the curse of Ham. Then we moved to the New Testament during colonization and sharecropping to encourage the forgiveness of past White evils during slavery. Most importantly, it was to immobilize us on the ‘is coming’ mode that Jesus is coming to save us.
Other Eurocentric perspectives would claim our moral history was one of human sacrifices in reference to the Black history of the 1700s, the worst period in our 10,000yr history, when African societies had imploded after 200yrs of slavery and we resorted to a distorted history whereby Orishas that grew up on vegetables and fruit sacrifices now drank blood of those viewed as sellouts.
What is required is a critical comparative analysis of the Original African and Abrahamic belief systems. Abrahamic dogma is actually a misconception of Original African belief systems, which were the first religion and knowledge bank.
Basically, original Africans believed and is backed by science that God is one and indivisible, he is good and bad, like an atom, you can’t separate electrons from protons. The original African system is based on duality, ejiogbe, which states that everything has two sides, positive and negative, good and bad, black and white etc.
The Abrahamic system on the other hand separates the almighty into God and Satan, and in doing so took away moral responsibility from each individual.
The African was confused to depart from his belief system that in each heart there is good and bad, and the ultimate responsibility lies with the individual to choose which one he wants and will be judged by his choice. What comes around goes around!
The move away from duality is what allows homosexuality to blossom, otherwise you will be informed that Man and Woman, positive and negative are what attract, not man and man.
The Abrahamic dogma makes us believe that we can do evil and receive good if God and his son anoints us. Or no matter how much good we do, it won’t amount to anything if God doesn’t anoint us and leaves us to Satan. So, we all grow up feeling special and over and above the society if we are anointed.
To seal our fate, Esu/Ekwensu the Orisha of information, who can guide us through our cultural history is labelled Satan. Therefore we are scared of accessing our cultural history and belief systems because we have been brainwashed to believe it is satanic.
Therefore for the Black Race to rise, we must return to our cultural foundations, which unfortunately has been broken into 2240 ethnolinguistic branches.
Constantine of the Roman Empire called the Nicea Council to unify all Abrahamic dogma in one book known as the Bible, which was used to whitewash Black history and subjugate Original African cultural platforms. This brough about the last 2000yr era of Olokun/Pisces/the second horseman.
Now, as we enter the era of Shango, Aquarius/third horseman, Ooni of Ife, the paramount Yoruba monarch, Obi Of Onitsha, the paramount Igbo monarch, Attah of Igala, Ochi’Idoma, and others who DNA evidence proves to the the oldest original African groups, need to come together to unify our cultural and sociopolitical spheres to enable the start of the 2000yr era of global Black ascendancy.
Thankfully, they have agreed to this with the formation of Ashe foundation to articulate and unify all original Africans.
