Pan Africanism or nationalism fails without civilizationism

By Prince Justice Jadesola Faloye

Prof PLO Lumumba, Dr Ifatunde Umar Johnson and Julius Malema speeches raise the passion and consciousness of Africans worldwide, especially with their Pan Africanism that touches on Black political leadership, economic deprivation and cultural disorientation, caused by White Supremacy doctrines and the international financial caste system. I recently watched a video of Prof Lumumba questioning the fate of Pan Africanism and being the solution to many of our problems. He stated that if Africans don’t get rid of their Pan Tribalistic perspectives, many African nations will break up within the next few decades and will be recolonized. The question arises that if we Africans can’t cohabitate peacefully and progressively in our present neocolonial straitjacket nationstates, how are we expected to unite into a bigger conglomeration of Black African peoples? Is it not a case best understood from Karl Marx Social Reproduction theory, that regardless of the institutions and constitutions adopted by Africans, it will be a case of garbage in garbage out?

Pan Africanism has mainly been a geographic concept without much attached to the different cultures and civilizations. The Pan Africanist masterplan has been economic unification followed by political union, but as Dr Roger Amos rightly stated in his book, Blueprint for Black Power, culture, economics and politics are intertwined since Culture is the way we do things, politics is the way we organize to do things while economics is the means used to organize to achieve things, so without culture taken into consideration, economics and politics will fail.

Pan Africanism push for continental unity makes one ask what is a continent and it’s relationship with politics and culture. As Confucius stated the first step of good governance is the rectification of terms. In reality Europe is not a continent, since a continent is a large landmass surrounded by water, and therefore part of Eurasia. Europe is more of a civilizational and racial concept that differentiates it from Asia. Europa meaning the Eu (good) Op(face) is (area) like Ethiopia, the Burnt face area, the land of Blacks. Infact, Western academia input the civilizational considerations of naming the Indigenous African area as sub-Saharan.

Indigenous Africans underwent colonial epistemicide, the denigration and killing of our episteme, the knowledge of our origins, true identity and aspirations, which if not addressed we can’t successfully engage in nation building. There are two civilizations across Africa – the Afroasiatic civilization made up of different peoples that underwent various Eurasiatic imperialism but united by Abrahamic dogma, while the other is the Indigenous African civilization made up of the 2240 tribes that are a continuum of dialects, known as the Niger-Congo ethnolinguistic family, who share the same genetic and cultural origins traced to Nigeria. It was European imperialism that broke the Original African civilization into artificial tribes, whereby a dialect is chosen out of a multitude of dialects in an area to become th standard language of the new social construct called tribes. The dialect chosen as the standard tribal langauge was institutionalized by having the Bible written in it and making it the language of colonial communication. The difference between the standardized languages of two adjacent new created artificial tribes became pronounced since the continuum linking the them are obscured. However, despite the tribal standardization, and the epistemicide that trashed our true history and identity, we like all the three other major civilizations – Judeo-Christian, Afroasiatic and Buddhist – still retain some of our civilizational philosophical attributes.

Africans philosophy is mainly based on binary complementarity while those of the other civilizations are based on Binary Opposition. Africans in the real sense don’t do religions whereby they worship an Almighty God, but practice what is better described as African Spiritual Science. African belief systems don’t separate God from Satan since we scientifcally know that you cant separate negative from positive, from the small atom to humans and Almighty God. To us, God is both good and evil, just like all human beings, and there is no Satan that monopolizes evil nor is God good all the time.

European coloniality has robbed us of a vital stage of aggregation, which is the one between tribalism and universalism called civilizationalism. This is why we arrived at the concept of Pan Africanism without taking cognizance that Africa is made up of two civilizations. Despite it been clear that the first imperialists in Africa were the Asiatic, and most recently while fighting for the African decolonization, we fought under different umbrellas of the Black Power movement brought back by Nnamidi Azikwe from Philadelphia universities and spread to Ghana’s Nkrumah before East, Central and Southern Africa, while Afroasians united under the Pan Arab Movement.

Today, we have the Maghreb North African nations push the Pan Arab Lobby in the African Union while the Original African civilizations made up of numerous Black African tribes and nations cannot unite to save their souls. Afroasians being half African and half Asiatic, either by blood, language or social organization, naturally take to their richer and more successful family side, which is why they work with the European Union to set an immigration boundary to keep away indigenous Africans from the Mediterranean coasts. Yet we talk of Pan Africanism of uniting the whole continent of Africa regardless of the different races and irreconcilable philosophical differences. Even though some Africans are Black, we would find that African Americans not only respect their African origins and have a higher Niger Congo DNA of 75% than groups like Fulani that push the Afroasiatic civilization and have just 49% Niger Congo DNA.

Nnamidi Azikwe made the mistake of Pan Africanism without civilizationism when due to colonial divisive social engineering between Yoruba and Igbo, the two most populous Indigenous African groups, he choose to align with the Fulani led Afroasiatic imperialistic civilization, which resulted in their undue power and hegemony used to subjugate the entire Indigenous African civilization that made up 70% of the Nigerian population. The Fulani Afroasiatic civilization is more geared towards unity to the Maghreb and Middle East that they claim are their origins than to indigenous Africans, which is why Nigeria has not been able to throw it’s full weight behind Black African unity.

It was Archimedes that stated give me a place to stand and I will move the world, unfortunately our academia has failed to give us a civilizational platform to stand and unite. As known, it is who pays the piper that dictates the tune, so our academia continue to push the coloniality of knowledge sources that only serves to obscure our common Original African genetic and cultural origins and linkages. Not only did they disfigure our true origins and identity in their history books, but even tried to confuse us with genetic studies that clearly show the origin of humanity and our culture to be those now called the Yorubas in Southern Nigeria. Even without linguistic evidence that shows that the larger subgroup of the Niger Congo ethnolinguistic family called the Benue-Congo ethnolinguistic family evolved from the confluence of River Niger and Benue, listening to the accent of Prof Lumumba and Malema shows close similarities to those of northeast and North Central Nigeria.

We have more than enough evidence to show the West African origin of humanity, and how the Volta Niger subgroup later evolved into the Benue Congo subgroup that migrated out through the River Benue and Lake Chad’s River Chari into Cameroon, down the Sangha River via Gabon into the Kongo River basin, where those known as Western Bantus settled, then up the Ubangi River to the Central Africa lakes/River Nile area where the Marshariki Bantus spread to the East African coasts and down to the South African Ngunilands. Our genetic and cultural linkages have to be taught to every African to free us from the restrictive Pan Tribalistic perspectives, as well as our common philosophical attributes. Like every Afroasians knows the Crescent of the Moon/Scimitar as their civilizational totem and the European Christians recognize the Cross/Spatha as their civilizational totem, every indigenous African should know that the leopard/cheetah/panther is the African civilizational totem.

It is only after understanding our civilization that we can gainfully employ it as the foundation of our institutions and nations, and also develop civilizational goods and economics to uplift ourselves. Currently, all African governments are run by a neocolonial guard that owes it’s allegiance to foreign civilizations which is why they have not uplifted the people they are supposed to represent. We at ASHE Foundation have suggested that to make our electoral commission truly independent and political.system truly representative, our long term cultural leadership and stakeholders should be the ones to choose leadership and membership of the electoral bodies and serve as the guarantors of the system run by professional politicians who are short termist by nature. Modernism prevents us from understanding that Western democracies were formed and backed by their monarchs.

Following the 1832 abolition of African slavery, under the auspices of Queen Victoria, European conservatism was born, to keep Blacks at bay, leading to the mid 1800s formation of the UK Conservative Party, US Republican Party as well as Christian Democratic Parties across continental Europe. About fifty years later, the working classes created worker Parties to push for the rights of White workers from their Conservative landlords and employers that were apt to use cheap Black labour to keep wages down. All other civilizations also back their governance systems and keep out other civilizations, with China even forming a civilizational state. Unfortunately, Africans could only move from tribalism to universalism which made a mess of their sociopolitical and economic existence.

It is only after Original African civilizationism has been well articulated and disseminated to every African that we can save our nations and unite on the international stage for global racial parity. A united Original African civilizational lobby is required to come to the negotiations table in the African Union, to counter Arab Lobby imperialistic designs, like making the East African Afro-Arabic trade language Swahili our official language. A united Original African civilizational unity can negotiate better in the UN for the Black Race. Afroasiatic civilizations use Caliphates as geographic demarcations, while the concept of nationstates is a product of European imperialism first used by the Dutch in 1600s to keep it’s proceeds of African exploitation to itself away from the Roman and French empires, and globalized after the Napoleonic wars and the independence of Haiti, so we should concentrate on civilizational states.

This shouldn’t be viewed as divisive like the Western nations are apt to categorize pro-Black as anti-White. We are not discriminating against our Afroasiatic cousins but only trying to accentuate our common civilizational origins, experiences and aspirations, which would help them to appreciate their African side, ultimately towards a loose federation of African ethnicities for the self determination of our culture, free from cultural imperialism within and from outside.

84th year anniversary of the wicked Yoruba-Igbo April Fool’s Joke

Leave a Reply

April Fool’s day joke is meant to last a day, but the cruel April Fool’s Day Joke played on Yoruba-Igbo has lingered for 84 years. On April 1st 1939, the Southern Protectorate was broken into West and East to disrupt the emerging Nigerian Youth Movement. It was an insulting joke claiming the Southern Protectorate was divided for administrative ease while the Northern Protectorate that was twice as big and diverse was left united. It was a ruthless joke of not only administrative violence against the NYM, pitting Awolowo and Azikwe against each other, as Yorubas demanded Igbos returned to their new created region to contest politically.

For over 80,000 years, Yorubas, Igbos and other Southerners and Middlebelt had coexisted peacefully and productively as an Ifa/Afa based civilization until the wicked April Fool’s Joke turned ignorant self centered Yoruba and Igbo generations against each other for the last 84yrs in politics, civil service, business and nearly every other aspect of life, except marriage. The April Fool’s Joke tore apart the two most populous, prosperous and oldest indigenous African groups, whose unity was the key to the rise of Nigeria, the world’s most populous nation, and the Black Race as a whole. The 1939 April’s Joke was based on the logic that if the Yoruba and Igbo tributaries of the Original African civilization forget their source and linkages, like a river that forgets source, we would run dry.

84 years earlier, in 1855, displaced Yorubas resettled in Lagos were attacked by displaced Yorubas from Oyo Ile resettled in Ibadan and Abeokuta, led by the likes Madam Tinubu of Abeokuta seeking to retain the same slave economic that made both groups displaced. While this cruel joke occured between Yorubas, a mother of all cruel jokes was planted to derail our civilizational identity as indigenous Africans across Africa. A process was embarked upon known as epistemicide in which our indigenous knowledge bank containing our civilizational identity and history was mischievously misinterpreted.

The trick was to choose one dialect in a subregion in which the Bible was written and became the official language of the new tribal geographic group. In Yoruba land, the Bible was written in Oyo dialect by Bishop Ajayi Crowther, an Oyo himself, just like Samuel Johnson that wrote Yoruba History. In Igboland, the dialect chosen for Igbos was Onitsha. They institutionalized tribalized dialects by enforcing that it should only be the language of communication in churches, schools and all colonial institutions. And that was how they balkanized the Original African civilization whose source was Ife Odaye, Ife Ooyelagbo and Ile Ife.

Yoruba and Igbo towns, as well as others of South and Middlebelt, were established and lived by Ifa/Afa, the sixteen sector knowledge bank accumulated through observation of natural phenomena and philosophy for tens of thousands of years. And nowhere in our knowledge bank were the words Yoruba, Igbo or other tribes mentioned. Basically, we had no tribes but a continuum of dialects known as the Niger Congo ethnolinguistic groups that spread from our coast all the way to South Africa, sharing the same genetic and cultural origins. We had minor lingusitic divergences as we diverged from the same Source into Oyos, Ijesa, Ekitis, Igbominas into Igala, Igbos as each generation took the next land to farm as we spread all the way to South Africa. One people, one philosophy, one destiny.

Before the 1400s advent of the European, there wasn’t much difference in our civilization based on Ifa-Afa-Iha-Fa-Efa, yams, beads and kolanuts. There are essentially two civilizations across Nigeria and Africa – our Original Indigenous African civilization composed cultural and genetic related people and the Afroasiatic/Arabic civilization made up of various groups that later underwent Arabic imperialism at different times. The disfigurement and derailing of the Original African civilization into divisive tribes leaves us at a competitive disadvantage to the Afro-Arabic and European civilizations.

Genetic anthropological evidence from the multinational Human Genome Project (Tishkoff 2009) and Harvard Medical School Simons Genome Diversity Project (S.Mallick 2016), those called now called the Yorubas were the oldest full sized humans dated around 89,000 years ago. The dynamics of the genetics shows how we spread to South Africa. Yoruba and Igbo had the longest and oldest DNA strands with only Igala between them.Yoruba, Igala, Edo, Igbo and a few others, all belong to the same subgroup known as the Volta-Niger ethnolinguistic family, the oldest ethnolinguistic family, which evolved before the Benue-Congo ethnolinguistic evolved on River Benue before spreading into Cameroun and all the way to East and Southern Africa.

So the divisive joke planted in the mid 1800s blosoomed into the April Fool’s Day Joke that derailed our independence movement. It split Yorubas and Igbos Original African civilization that covers South and Middlebelt, and 70 percent of the population, enabling the minority Afroasiatic civilization to establish a political hegemony, robbing us of the chance to build a stable and balanced two powerbase polity. For us to evolve to a higher political existence, we need an Epistemic Democracy, wisdom of the multitude, whereby our people understand their civilizational identity and collective economic and political aspirations. Therefore we must strive to unite Yoruba and Igbo with true civilizational knowledge. Our civilizational leader, the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi attempted to educate us a few years ago that Yoruba and Igbo were closely related, but the hate was too much fuelled by those that used the division to make or protected their political control. While leaders like ex President Goodluck Jonathan have stated that their political ambitions are not worth the loss of a single life, we have those ready to waste millions of lives, violently deprive entire ethnicities of the their voting rights.

The schism between displaced Yorubas of the North and South Yorubaland went from 1855 to 1839, it’s about time the schism between children of Ifa/Afa, Yoruba and Igbo must now end. Yoruba science identifes that 84yrs cycle of Universal Justice/Shango, two of which should bring a new and higher level of consciousness/Olokun. There are 6000 ethnicities in the world out of which Yorubas and Igbos have no closer relationship. These two sides of the coin must become currency to buy our economic and political advancement. The disgraceful Tribalistic voter repression of March 18th must never be repeated, otherwise for the lack of knowledge a people will perish.

Muslim-Muslim ticket of a Northern alliance makes the South/MiddleBelt alliance the more natural powerbase

Tinubu has a very difficult decision to make in order to successfully harvest his long cultivated Northern alliance. It is easier and more probable for a Yoruba Muslim to strike an alliance with the Northern Muslim Afro-Arabic civilization. But the practicality of the alliance has become obvious with Tinubu expected to choose a representative from the Northern partners to safeguard their civilizational agenda.

If he chooses a Christian Northerner, he would be at a disadvantage against a Northern Muslim opponent in what is supposed to be his stronghold, while a Muslim-Muslim ticket is a departure from the unwritten rule to share power between the two Abrahamic sects, Islam and Christianity, representing the North and his South. So a Muslim Muslim will alienate his Southern home region.

I have long stated that the natural strategic allies of the Yorubas are South and Middlebelt groups that share the same Original African civilization, the four Indigenous African regions, and not the popular misconception of a Northern alliance.

Unfortunately, coloniality aka colomentality, has prevented the unity of South and Middlebelt since they are too culturallly derailed to understand that they share the same genetic and cultural origins as a bonafide civilization, proven beyond doubt by recent genetic and cultural anthropological evidence.

While the Northern Afroasiatic groups, despite being unrelated product of various Afroasiatic imperialism, they share the same origin of knowledge that is used to unite the Sokoto Caliphate of NW and Bornu emirate of NE.

Unfortunately the genetically and culturally related South and Middlebelt can’t unite two regions in their civilization, because they can’t unite their origin of knowledge which is tied to origin of humanity and their existence. Despite the fact that histories of Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw and others are tied to Ife, their colonially inspired Pan Tribalistic perspectives and rivalry prevents an agreement on their origin of humanity, so their origin of knowledge can’t be unified, which prevents a unified political narrative from common origins to collective aspirations of restructuring to true federalism and devolution to citystates.

This lack of Southern and Middlebelt unity makes the North powerbase hegemonic, on whose platform the divided Southern groups come to beg for power that rightly belongs to them.

If our democracy had been allowed to evolve over 50yrs at a stretch, then it would become self evident to the South and Middlebelt that they need to unite to create a second and balancing powerbase against the Northern Afro-Arabic civilizational powerbase. The lack of a civilizational identity makes us vulnerable and mental and spiritual slaves of the Western civilization, disguised as universalism and modernism.

Moreso, the issue of the loss of civilizational identity goes far beyond just politically challenging the North or Western Powers. For the lack of knowledge a people perish, so like a river that forgets it’s source, we run dry social, economically, technologically and every other aspect of our collective consciousness.

For one, civilizations come in hand with civilizational goods that create a global market and economic prosperity as it extends to every other thing produce within the civilization. Before the Abrahamic epistemicide of our African civilization, kola, beads and other Ifa-Afa-Iha-Fa-Efa paraphernalia were the economic backbone of our civilization. However, the European bastardized our Ifa-Afa-Iha-Fa-Efa knowledge banks with Esu/Ekwensu, turned our kolanuts into Coca Cola, and used the profits from imitating our beads to build cities like Bristol.

The lack of a civilizational perspective prevents a global worldview and globalization of virtues and benefits of the civilization, since they are being viewed as tribal and incomplete.

Original Indigenous African civilization is based on the 16 sector African Information Retrieval System aka Ifa-Afa-Iha-Fa-Efa. Instead of bring together the compendium of history and knowledge to make a whole, we are focused on selling our ‘tribal’ heirlooms to dollar paying customers in the West. Babalawos/Dibias will rather courting the dollar paying Diaspora and Whites than unite with their ethnic neighbors across the Niger River.

A comparative analysis and unification of our episteme as a civilization will imbue a scientific approach that would enable us to decipher the encoded knowledge as science and philosophy from which we can make new civilizational goods.

An Original African civilizational perspective will also improve the work ethics and sense of belonging that will strive for global racial parity.

Until we get our Original African civilizational home and unity right, our best politicians will be bending back and grovel on the Northern Afroasiatic civilizational platforms for federal power.

Charity begins at home. Our cultural and sociopolitical leadership needs to decolonized our thinking and reverse the colonial balkanization of the Original African civilization,which was broken into West and East regions of the Southern Protectorate, and wrongly adding a third to the Northern Protectorate as the Middlebelt. They must change the wrong perspective of North and South by correctly showing that the geographic center, Abuja/South Kaduna is actually the boundary of the Original African civilization aka South.

Until then, the likes of Tinubu will be constrained as Yoruba Muslims aligned to a Muslim North whose Afroasiatic civilizational agenda is different from our Original African civilizational agenda of South and Middlebelt.

3 Obaluaye/Saturn 29yr cycles of structure = 1 Shango/Uranus 84yr cycle of Justice

2 Shango/Uranus 84yr = 1 Olokun/Neptune 165yr consciousness cycle

3 Shango/Uranus 84yr cycle of Justice = 1 Oya/Pluto 250yr revolution

3 Olokun 165yr cycles = 2 Oya 250yr revolutions.

8 Oya 250yr revolutions = 2000yr civilizational change

Despite Jesus telling his disciples in Luke 21:25 that ‘there shall be signs in the sun, moon, and stars’, modern Africans, mentally and spiritually enslaved with Abrahamic dogma, are miseducated to hate the science of the signs in their own Original African civilization. These spiritual and philosophical essences of planets that we call Orisas have an effect on humanity, especially when they align or oppose each other to bring a massive change in humanity as we are bound to witness over the next decade. Unfortunately, it is not in the interests of those profiting from Christianity for Christ to return in what is known as the Judgement Day, astrological known as the Age of Aquarius/Shango/Amadioha, therefore they would rather hide the signs of the incoming new era.

After several decades of international talks and global appeals to scrap nuclear weapons, with the Northern hemisphere remaining intransigent, the world might have to experience the horrors of a nuclear holocaust before the collective will is strong enough to obliterate the weapons, and make a move away from the Might is Right perspective to one of Right is Might. The first lesson by the Universe was that of Corona Virus that showed that the smallest common living thing could shut down the entire world. Despite first reading about the new 2000yr era in a Christian website back in 2006 that even predicted that Putin will set off the holocaust, the military industrial complex still refused to do away with nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately we might go through a nuclear war anytime from 2022, being a full Shango/Uranus cycle of 84yrs since 1938 when the idea of nuclear fission was born in Germany, or in 2026 being a full Shango cycle of Justice from 1942 when the Manhattan project was commissioned to produce a nuclear bomb or in 2029 when it becomes 84yrs when the first atom bomb was used in Hiroshima/Nagasaki Japan.

2022 appears to be likely due to the February 22 2022 Oya/Pluto return to the point USA was when it was created on July 4th 1776, which normally spells the downfall of empires. In addition to USA Oya/Pluto return, the April 12 2022 momentous meeting of Olokun/Neptune (consciousness) and Obatala/Jupiter (civilization) in the house of Olokun has kicked off a new 165yr cycle of global leadership. However some will say 2022 is just a start and it won’t be until the 2026 meeting of Olokun (leadership/consciousness) and Obaluaye (structure) that the change will be solidified into reality, moreover with the meeting being at the doorstep of Oguns house, Aries, it signifies the old world order will come to an end violently, and not bankruptcy, probably nuclear war.

Being that the war has started has started in 2022, shortly after Covid economic shutdown, one wonders how long Russia or USA can push the war and worsening economic conditions, or conventional military losses, before firing the first nuclear bomb.

In addition to the completion of the 84yr Shango Justice cycle of nuclear science, the outgoing Olokun 165yr cycle of Western dominance was enabled by the Western Powers Ogun military industrial complex whose decisive new weapons are normally developed during a previous major war. The precursor of the machine gun, the Gatlings gun was developed in 1861, which was fully developed for the World War 1. A Shango 84yr cycle later from the 1861-1865 US Civil War 1861 was 1945 when Japan was nuked. A Shango 84yr cycle earlier from 1861 US Civil War was the 1776 US War of Independence.

The use of the atomic bomb in 1945 against Japan was not as decisive weapon since Germany had fallen and Japan was about to fall without it’s use,.but was used as a test and warning. The Justice of that action might now boomerang to the user. Not only might we see the Shango karmatic use of the nuclear bomb, but the global economic and political hegemony earned by the USA might come to an end.

The question is what happens to Black Africans worldwide in what has been a global economic caste system that extends beyond the current cycles, even though we have witnessed changes from slavery to colonization and neocolonization/coloniality. The last 500yrs can be best understood as the Axial Age, the preparatory stage fo the incoming 2000yr Shango/Aquarius era of Justice.

As stated, two 84yr Shango/Uranus cycles of Justice equals one 165yr Olokun cycle of leadership and consciousness, so a collective goes through cycles of quest for Justice before being able to change the consciousness. The last Olokun cycle started from 1847/1862 and ending from 2011 and 2025. This cycle was the era of colonization and coloniality, when our mental and spiritual slavery was initiated with the epistemicide, killing, of our knowledge banks by labelling Esu as Satan etc.

The preceding cycle was from 1684/1698 to 1947/1862 when slave plantation economy grew exponentially, resulting in more anarchy as 400,000 guns were dumped on our coast every year and new slave empires evolved to subject our Original African civilization. The slave trade moved from the coastal slave ports to inland kingdoms – from Allada to Dahomey, from Kongo to Bobangi Loango port, and from the Angola port to the underbelly of the Kongo basin. This was after the initiating Olokun cycle of 1520/1534 to 1684/1698, when millennial civilizations were broken by new slave economics of sugar, and the outlying areas of Senegambia and Angola had been drained for slavery, necessitating the move into African heartlands witnessed above.

As stated 3 Olokun 165yr cycles are equal to 2 Oya cycles of revolutionary change, especially when in Obaluaye house bringing down global political structural change and collapse of kingdoms within a civilization. The revolutionary change that brought up the Axial Age of Justice through the injustices of slavery started two Oya cycles away in 1520s which coincided with the Olokun cycle. The Oya 250yr cycle from 1520 cycle oversaw the break up of the Roman Catholic Empire, headed Spanish/Portuguese and Italians, overshadowed by new Dutch, British and French empires, as well as the Original African Ifa-Afa-Iha-Efa-Fa civilization centered in Ife by Oyo, Edo and other empires.

The following Oya 250yr cycle in Obalauyes house was around 1770s and brought about the beginning of the end of the British and French global empires, as USA broke away from the British and Haiti the French jewel colony got its independence and ushered in the beginning of the end of African slavery.

In Oyo Empire, the militarization and territorial expansion following its 1530 defeat by the Nupes, had become excessive and its military commanders eventually overwhelmed popular sovereignty of the Alaafin monarchy. In 1770, Alaafin Abiodun had to fight and defeat the military commander, Bashorun Gaa that had put to death several Alaafins, in what essentially was a clash of interests between military class that wanted to continue slavery to get more weapons and the Alaafin moral leadership to save his empire.

Although Alaafin Abiodun won with the backing of Oya revolutionary essence, the lack of a change of Olokuns collective consciousness, led to his son clashing with the military class that aligned with a foreign consciousness that led to the 1835 destruction of Oyo. Unable to strengthen and renew its Original African consciousness, it would soon fell prey to the British that brought their own consciousness that has lasted till now. Oyo was fooled by the British colonial consciousness of expanding Oyo leadership over a new Yoruba social construct backed by British weapons but was soon colonized with the rest. .

Now, for the first time since 1770, we have Oya back in Obaluaye house of Capricorn from 2008 to 2023 where it is supposed to blow away unjust global political and economic structures. Oya meeting with Obaluaye/Saturn in January 2020, shook the world to its foundations with Covid epidemic as Obaluaye Soponna is known for infections diseases. Oya will shake and probably destroy the global political structures before it leaves in March 2023 from Obaluaye house to Shangos house, where it was during late 1700s Haiti and French revolutions.

As stated in the equation above, 8 Oya cycles equals one Universal/civilizational change. The full cycle of human civilization is about 24,000yrs which is divided like all cycles into 12 houses/segments, whose specific essence is tied to a particular Orisa/planet. With DNA evidence showing Yorubas and San diverge 87,000yrs ago, being the first of full sized humans, Yorubas have experience 3 full 24000yr cycles and currently in middle of a 4th civilizational cycle. As we move every 2,000yrs into each of the twelve houses in the 26000yr civilization cycle, the global consciousness changes. However, the new 2000yr global consciousness would have been developed and honed about 500yrs before the actual start, which is known as the Axial Age and normally ushered in by Black Africans.

The current human civilization started in Orunmila house/Sun bringing creativity and wisdom between 12,000BC and 10000BC, followed by the Yemanja/Moon house of Cancer, when we started calendar and time keeping from 10,000BC to 8,000BC, then Esu/Mercury house of Gemini brought information, writing, improved Ifa from 8,000 to 6000BC, followed by Osun/Venus house of Taurus from 4000BC to 2000BC when international trade blossom between Original African civilization that spread from Africa across Asia and the world.

It was during this age that light skinned evolved from the Central Asian mountain cave complex, then from 2000BC to 1BC we entered the Ogun/Mars house of Aries era, when though Black Africans were the ones that started metallurgy for agriculture and arts, light skinned people used iron for brutal force to annihilate Black Africans from South Asia, Europe and North Africa, in what is biblically describe as the Age of the First Horseman..

From 1AD to 2000AD, we have been in the Olokun/Neptune house of Pisces Era that brought religious and political dogma that was gleaned from our own Ifa-Afa-Iha-Eha-Fa African spiritual and social sciences to dominate the world. The fishes sign of Pisces is the sign of Christianity and the era is known as the era of the Apocalyptic Second horseman.

Though the new 2000yr Age of Shango/Aquarius /Justice officially kicked off in August 1999, before there could be a change in global consciousness to Shango, Oya wa waited upon to go through Obatala house to reveal hidden knowledge, then pass through Obaluaye house to bring down global political and economic structures, as she is threatening in Nigeria with the election and Russia-Ukraine war.

The May 29th 2022 meeting of Obatala with Ogun in Oguns house might plant the seeds of war if it comes with an unjust result. Shangos meeting with Iyamis on July 31st and August 1st is another date to watch, as we battle for the soul of the nation and humanity as a whole..

It won’t be a straightforward battle as Oya will move forward and backward between Shango and Obaluaye houses during 2023 and 2024, raising issues of Justice, restructuring and destroying intransigent structures that refuse, before settling down in Shangos house till 2041, lightening and keep alight the quest for global justice. This Oya cycle that will be kicking off the 2000yr era of Shango will magnify the Haiti Revolution that brought an end to global African slavery tenfold to bring about the freedom of the Black Race. Unlike 1770s, Oya will have the help of the new Olokun/Obatala cycle of 2022 to provide a well grounded Original African consciousness required to revamp the Original African civilization in the new multipolar world that will last for the next 2000yrs.

Everything moves in a cycle. The most important essences of life are cycles tied to the Sun/Orunmila the source of all creativity and wisdom, captured in Yoruba Epistemology. However to mentally and spiritually enslaved us, the European colonists committed epistemicide of our knowledge bank by labelling Esu as Satan, and replaced our understanding of the cyclical nature of the world with meaningless linearity, replacing our spiritual sciences with scientific materialism. Though for thousands of years, we had identified and interrelated all the important spiritual and philosophical essences as Orisas, the Oyinbo education limited our scientific and mathematical understanding to the materialism in Economics, Agricultural sciences and other spheres only related to reproduction of human and natural resources.

The key to resolving our arrested economic and political development were hidden. Mathematics and trend analysis of our cultural linkages and political sciences were deliberately left out to mysticism and religion.

Ifa Olokun asorodayo is time specific!

We are at the end of the 2000yr Olokun/Pisces era of maritime trade, religious and political dogma, and moving into the new 2000yr Shango/Aquarius era of Justice, internet-based economy, and other electromagnetic innovations.

During the last 2000yrs, Ifa our knowledge bank was converted into religious dogma, just like Eurasians that copied it during the Axial Age between 700 and 200BC converted it into Abrahamic religious dogma. Humanity is now moving into a different and higher global consciousness that will strip away the dogma and selective Justice, aided by the internet and digital economy.

Far away from Ifa arts, which is currently prevalent, Ifa started as a science, the observation of natural laws and phenomenon, at least from when Yoruba and San Pygmies separated around 87,000 years ago according to DNA evidence (S.Mallick 2016 Harvard). This was when humans observed and utilized the fact that Yam, the evolutionary staple food, grew on its own when the tip was discarded, and we began settling down, switching from being hunter gatherers.

In the Kyoto University study by H.Yasuoka (2013), the Wild Yam Question was adequately addressed to prove that Yam was the evolutionary food, which hunter gatherers picked wild. Normally spending about 90 days in makeshift camps to exhaust the wild Yams in area before moving to the next spot, at a point Yorubas realized that the patch where the Yam tips were discarded regenerates Yams for 35yrs for at least 100 people. Those now known as Yorubas and Igbos, the two largest and Oldest full sized human groups, have Yams at the roots of their culture.

Though the domestication of Yams, which Yorubas interpreted as Gba Eni lowo Egbere for lifetime prosperity, might be the first application of the observation of natural laws, aka Science, it didn’t stop there. Over tens of thousands of years, we observed natural laws that were spiritually and philosophically represented as Orishas and encoded into our knowledge bank, the Original African Information Retrieval system aka Ifa-Afa-Iha-Eha-Fa.

Our Aworawo, stargazers, observed and understood what is now termed African spiritual science in which planetary bodies emit electromagnetic pulses that make us react in a specific philosophical or spiritual essence. Though we identified over 400 natural phenomenon and their attendant philosophical essences, we gave prominence to those philosophical essences that were cyclical in nature and tied to the various orbits of planetary bodies.

It is certain that these essences and their electromagnetic pulses had been identified by Black Africans overtime thousands of years before the evolution of the White Race, which is just about 7,000yrs ago. Just as the Ancients understood the essence of the Moon and its 28 day evolution now called months, the 13 moons Orbit of the Sun called years, we knew the orbit of the universe was 26,000yrs which was divided into 12 like a clock or calendar to form a Great Year of approximately 2000yrs, each representing a global consciousness tied to Orishas. However to read Great Years, you read the current calendar format backward since it was based on the Moon and not the Sun.

History puts the start of human civilization at about 10,000BC, which is long after our 87,000BC evolution, but before Europe evolution 7,000yrs ago from the Andronovo mountain cave complex. The 10,000BC start is the Age of Orunmila/Leo based on the Sun and its essences of creation, creativity, wisdom etc. Orunmila is the progenitor of Ifa. When this 2000yr Orunmila era ended we moved into the Age of Yemoja/Cancer based on the observation of the Moon and its essences which was physically observed to have a pull on all waters, from the oceans high tides linked to the full moon, the menstrual cycles of women, and behavioral patterns as blood rushed into our heads. This was the birth of the lunar calendar of which Yoruba calendar is 10,600 plus years.

The Yemoja Age (8000-6000BC) was followed by the Age of Esu/Gemini based on the observation of planet Mercury, the next to Sun through which all must pass to get to Orun (Sun)/Orun (heaven)/Orunmila(Ifa), therefore with the essence of Information, prophets and information systems. Jesus was the Son of the Virgin, Virgo, the month tied to Esu influences. Esu essences are reflected in two zodiac signs/months, Virgo and Gemini, and those born with Virgo essence have their work with Shango (Justice) and those born with Gemini essences have their work cut out in Oya (revolutionary change). During the Age of Esu, 6000BC to 4000BC, Ifa became a full systematic knowledge bank that emitted 256 electromagnetic pulses, which recently became the origin of computers.

The next 2000yr age was that of Osun/Taurus whose essences was based on the planet Venus, the next to Mercury. Osun essences were fertility, beauty and financial systems between outposts that spread out of Africa through Ethiopia land bridge into Mesopotamia/Arab along Southern Asia to South China. It was this period that the White Race evolved.

The following 2000yr era was that of Ogun/Aries based on the planet Mars and its essence of positive action and war. This era brought the White Races bows, arrows and horse chariots to overwhelm Yoruba/Black civilizations of Southern Asia – Elam, Indus Valley Civilization, Southern China Shang civilization, and eventually ancient Black Egypt.

As recounted in the Bible, Revelations chapters 4 to 6, the first Apocalyptic Horseman was given bow and arrows to take crowns. Ajagungbade. We know our oldest crown is Ade Aare given to Oonirisa by Ogun. One of oldest Iron smelting mines can be found in Lejja Nsukka dated 1900BC and its surrounding blacksmiths economy of Nri.

As Whites moved from the Central Asian mountain cave complex to overrun ancient Black civilizations based on Ifa in Indus Valley civilization and Europe, attracted by the food and gold surpluses of Original African frontier empires, the Greeks eventually overran Black Egypt, and the Roman’s overwhelmed Black Carthage and the rest of Black North Africa.

The First Axial Age theory shows that between 800BC and 200BC Eurasians that had overwhelmed the Black civilizations all adopted the exisiting natural laws encoded in Ifa. In Indus Valley, it was recorded in the Rig Veda which later became Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and others in Eurasia. Jews adopted the existing global knowledge bank of Original Africans when they wrote their first 5 books while enslaved in Mesoptamia/Babylon/modern day Iraq.

As we approached the new 2000yr era of Olokun/Pisces, the Greeks ruling Egypt commissioned the Jews to write the first books of the Bible covering the evolution of humanity and civilization in Greek at Alexandria library in Egypt. This narrative was spread to Ethiopia successfully as its ruling class switched from Erecha/Orisha institutions to Abrahamic institutions.

When the Roman’s took over as the leading empire at the beginning of the new and now outgoing 2000yr Age of Olokun, understood from the observation of planet Neptune and its essences of maritime trade, religious and political dogma, drugs, movies and other mind altering devices, Romans were inspired to adopt the Jewish adopted narrative of African Origins as White and spread across the empire to get rid of Black cultural origins and provide a unifying narrative of White supremacy.

Their Christianity was that of Olokun/Pisces as we still see the symbolism of two fishes on Churches and Christian paraphernalia. This was the Age of the Biblical Apocalyptic horseman with a great sword which when inverted became the cross but used as a sword to clear out Original Africans as the Roman Sparta and Islamic Scimitar, which the Bible say take the peace away from Earth. The Romams restarted the calendar to obscure the tens of thousands of years of Black history and accumulation of knowledge based on our observation of natural laws.

To justify their departure from natural laws in order to exploit man and his environment, they propounded racist religious dogma, philosophical theories and selective justice.. The injustice of wars, colonization and neocolonization specifically against Original Africans that had the population, knowledge and resources, resulted in what is now the 2nd Axial Age, as Blacks pushed the concept of Justice from the 1500s transatlantic slave trade and Abrahamic cultural imperialism.

The USA, the self acclaimed bastion of democracy and justice, is as a result of African Americans quest for Justice right from the beginning of USA, but deprived in the 1787 Three Fifths Compromise and still fought for till today as we saw with the Floyd riots last year.

Back home at the heartland of the Black Race, South and Middlebelt Nigeria, Ifa became a religion and we switched from a knowledge-based systems not only as Ifa Olokun asorodayo but also ruled by an Olokun dynasty. As we move towards the new 2000yr era of Shango, which spiritually started in August 11th 1999, intellectually started in December 21st 2020, and will be ignited by Oya from 2023, Ile Ife that had been the source of all global consciousnesses is well placed to usher us into the new Age of Shango with the natural blessing Oonirisa Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

The new Age of Shango recounted in the Bible as the Age of the Apocalyptic 3rd Horseman with scales that will restructure justly South oil from Northern Barley/Sorghum is spiritually represented with Oonirisa born in Libra/Osun house of scales with strong Oya and Shango influences.

However it is not enough to be blessed with natural spiritual essences, we Yorubas must know the time we are in and those gone past to gain the wisdom of the heart. We must know that we are entering an age of Justice, which wrongly interpreted by Abrahamists as Judgement Day, despite being a 2000yr era and taught that a day of God/universe is 2000yrs. We must know that we must be just in the coming years or be swept away in the dustbin of history. Apocalypse is about revealed knowledge and those who refuse to accept it being perished. We must identify and differentiate natural laws of retributive justice from the selective messianic Justice of Abrahamic dogma, as shown by the West and Fulani. We must understand that a fight for only Yoruba/Igbo Justice is not universally backed and we must fight for Justice for all by unifying all Original African groups especially those of the South and Middlebelt.

And regards to Ifa Olokun, we must embrace the Ifa being spread by digital economy of Shango in order to continue soro dayo, prosperity.

Why Nigeria is undoubtedly the Origin of Human civilization.

Looking at today’s Nigerians unruly behavior and unkempt emvironment, it might appear farfetched to even put Nigeria and civilization in the same sentence, not to talk of being the origin of civilization. According to local parlance na condition make our crayfish bend. For the lack of the right knowledge and perspective a people perish.

ASHE Foundation has always strongly insisted that Nigeria is the origin of humanity and civilization, and the springboard for a renewed global black ascendancy. We presented various well articulated papers that the area now called Nigeria, previously labelled Slave Coast and Negrita, the world’s largest continental mangrove and freshwater swamps, housing the two largest Original African groups, is the true Origin of humanity.

While arguments for the Nigeria origin of humanity is based on genetic and linguistic anthropological evidence, human geography, as well as the oldest humanoid skeleton Toumai, the missing link, found in Chad, the origin of civilization is a bit more complex.

First is the definition of what really is civilization? It is widely believed that civilization started essentially with evolution of nomadic hunting and gathering stage into settlements enabled with the start of Agriculture. It is believed that civilization brought advanced social organization large human settlements, social structure, religion and trade.

The earliest civilization is believed to be in Arabia/Mesopotamia, where also was initially argued was the true Origin of humanity that civilization started. The progressive logic being that from the first humans that evolved in Mesopotamia, they eventually coalesced into settlements backed by agriculture.

Now, this Abrahamic bias towards Iraq where enslaved Jews first wrote their history in the first 5 books, has been proven to be wrong beyond doubt. Academic perspectives have since shifted to an Ethiopian origin of humanity, then to Kenyan and Tanzania, before recently being argued that it was Botswana with a mythical inland lake to fulfill the necessary conditions of continuous mix of saline and freshwater.

ASHE Foundation responded by showing through time that the Lower Niger area has been the most suitable spot for evolution.

Most important are genetic studies that showed that Yoruba followed by Igala and then Igbo had the oldest and longest DNA of full sized ethnicities (Tishkoff 2009 table S8) followed by Harvard University Simon Genome Diversity Project (2017) that specifically dated the separation of Yorubas and San hunter gatherers to 87,000yrs ago, the oldest separation of full sized and Pygmy hunter gatherers. Yasuoka (2013) from Kyoto University showed that Yams were the evolutionary food picked by hunter gatherers and answered the Wild Yam question that doubted that life could have been sustained in the rainforest without savanna agriculture. Nigeria has always been the epicenter of Yams, producing about 70% of the world’s Yam output.

Now, Yorubas and Igbos, the two oldest and most populous Indigenous African groups have Yams at the foundation of their culture. Yam festivals were the most important and they had no Indigenous words for grains. They were mostly lactose intolerant so were never herdsmen. Being the epicenter of sickle cell also shows they never left the malaria rainforest coast.

Yoruba have a prosperity ‘myth’, ‘Gba Eni lowo Egbere’ that if you collect the mat, temporary habitant, of hunter gatherers, you will blessed with endless riches. This has been proven scientifically that whenever hunter gatherers settle temporarily for 90 days and pick wild Yams, when they move one, the end bits of the discarded Yams will continuously produce Yams for 35yrs to feed about 100 people. There are about 19 species of yam from water yam to other dry land Yams.

This was what Southern Nigerians understood and practiced shifting cultivation that resulted in advanced social organization. First from settlements, we grew into cities like Ife and the massive Benin. Long before the Mesopotamia settling to agriculture, Yoruba and other Southerners had began to settle and developed the first knowledge bank and religion, Ifa-Afa-Iha-Eha-Fa.

A knowledge bank so old that it could recount the differentiation between hominids, monkey to Man, in the story of Orunmila and Ejimere, the king of monkeys. Western academia only started to get a grip on evolutionary science in the last century.

Rather than ask the ignorant arrogant Wild Yam question of whether Yorubas and Igbos could have evolved and developed in the rainforest only on Yams and Palm produce, we should be asking advocates of Mesopotamia/Arabia origin of civilization through agriculture, what did they survive on before getting to the point of developing agriculture?

The answer is that it was Southern Nigerians that spread into the Middlebelt and Sahel grasslands, where they developed grain agriculture with the benefit of having Yams, whose shifting agricultural practises was adopted from the rainforests into the African grasslands, where grass grains could be developed. With the drying of the Sahara, people move closer to the Nile, where settlements evolved in Ethiopia and Egypt, before moving into Mesopotamia.

It should also be noted the White Race didn’t re-emerge from Central Asian mountain cave complex after the Ice Age until 6000yrs ago, so agricultural practices witnessed in Mesopotamia and Eurasia around 13,500 years ago were accomplished by Original Africans that had migrated out of Nigeria through Chad to Ethiopia across the land bridge to Arabia and into Europe and Asia. Original Africans that had developed agriculture, religion, social order, sciences and philosophy before migrating out of Nigeria.

Millennia later Europeans met an advanced political system in Yorubaland that ensured freedom of speech and association, permanent roles for females, and the role of the chief executive was separated from the Commander and Chief of armed forces to create peace. It is an indisputable fact that western Medicine condensed and translated Original African knowledge bank on illness and treatments. The first systematic science book, the Christian Philosopher written in 1720 by Maher Cotton of Harvard University was based on Yorubas Soponna vaccination procedures.

So the question is what happened to us in Nigeria? We have led in every change in the 2000yr era of global consciousness until slavery, colonization and the current neocolonization and our cultural disorientation. From ages of Orunmila/Leo, the Sun to that of the moon calendar in the Age of Yemanja in 8000BC, to the era of Esu/Gemini and the conceptualization of Ifa-Afa-Iha-Eha-Fa knowledge bank, to the 4000BC of Osun and global trade to Original African civilizations in Asia and the building of monuments by Black Egyptians. Even the Age of Ogun/Aries, the Biblical 1st Horseman era, in which Whites overran Black civilizations in Eurasia and Egypt with horse chariots, bows and arrows, there is evidence from the Lejja Nsukka iron slags that we worked iron since 2000BC which is a good thousand years before other races, but just didn’t weaponized iron on a large scale.

The outgoing 2000yr era of Olokun/Pisces that brought religious and political dogma was based on turning knowledge banks into religion, of which Ifa Olokun was the most diverse and indepth, but with the use of weaponry and Abrahamic dogma we were overran and culturally misguided. However, we know that once again as we enter the 2000yr Age of Shango/Amadioha/Aquarius, the Apocalyptic 3rd Horseman , the Black Race will rise again with the help of Yoruba, Igbos and the rest of Original African groups in South and Middlebelt that will come together to fight for Justice for all, which will lead to prosperity and racial parity.

So when some self hating Africans cynically ask of what importance is the knowledge that we are the origin of humanity and civilization to us, we answer it gives us the chance to retrace our steps and understand our destination. A river that forgets its source runs dry as a kid that forgets home will forever carry the bag of suffering. It is to also ensure that unlike previous global consciousness kicked off from Nigeria but overtaken and misused by predators, we must sustain the fight for Justice. We must also be alert to the fact that the Shango/Amadioha era of global Justice could be exploited by our past enslavers in form of humanitarian militarism, whereby they will cause the injustice then send troops to save and colonize us.

2. Started with Age of Orunmila (10,000BC) followed by Age of Yemanja (8000BC) that brought lunar calendar, matriarchy.

3. Age of Esu (6,000BC) brought writing and African information retrieval systems like Ifa, Afa, Aha etc, which is followed by the Age of Osun (4000BC) that brought international trade centers, building of pyramids and huge ornaments.

4. Age of Ogun (2000BC) brought Caucasians out of Central Asian caves with iron weapons to takeover African kingdoms of Ancient Egypt, Indus Valley and Southern China civilizations.

5. Age of Olokun (1AD till today) brought religious and racist dogma and propaganda.

6. Age of Shango (2023 to 4000AD) brings enlightenment and global economic justice as Blacks rule the world once again!
