How can he say that "self determination" is decided in 1960 and decided by war? What of the case of Gullah/Geechee Nation of America? American Africans descendants of enslaved Africans that voted for their self determination and recognition as a nation in 2000?
https://www.gullahgeecheenation.com

Akin Oyebode, Professor of International law and jurisprudence and perhaps this entire Nigerian university system, has been bought and paid for.

The Gullah/Geechee Nation are a glaring example of Africans using international law and international media to gain self determination and recognition.

How are "governors" in charge of the indigenous autonomous leaders? In what world does a Governor trump an Eze? Dont people know their human rights? What the hell is this shit?

geoworldedu:
Otem have posted similar things in his DOCTUFOS before. There, Jesus(Yeshua) actually derived his name from Eshu. See it here:

The interesting thing with this one is using a science called "comparative linguistics".

He proves the relation between Yeshua "savior, rescuer" with the word Esu "evacuator" which derives from "su" meaning "evacuate, to shoot out."
One is Hebrew, one is Yoruba.

The idea is there is a force moving between vacuums and hidden spaces and carrying information to the Creator. In his book, he even connects the word Oya to Yah and Yahweh. This persons scholastic articles are amazing. The traditional leaders and their supporters should learn "comparative linguistics" if they want to vindicate themselves and "wake" people. It is happening surely but slowly.

Here are some excerpts:
"I also argue that Yeshua (Jesus) is none other than the Egyptian deity SHU and the Yoruba deity
ESU (pronounced eshu). Esu of the Yoruba system of Ifa is the “bridge” between heaven and earth. Shu of Egypt is also the bridge between heaven and earth as air (shu) separates the earth (Geb) and outerspace (Nut). All prayers and sacrifices MUST go through Esu or they will not reach the Creator. In order to get to outer space you HAVE to go through SHU. Doesn't this sound familiar? Esu's symbol is the “crossroads” and this is very important in regards to this discussion.

We have already posited that Yeshua (Jesus) is a later form of Egyptian SHU and the Yoruba ESU (Ayeshu in the Akan). In Greek Yeshua is rendered IESOUS or IASOUS. In Arabic it is ISSA. A title associated with the Egyptian Hrw is IUSA.
Gerald Massey rendered the meaning “the coming son” from Egyptian iy, iw, ii, jj, jw or jwj meaning “to come;” and sa, or za meaning “son.” I find this to be folk etymology. I find the 4th century archbishop of Jerusalem St. Cyril‟s rendering to be more plausible for the definition of Jesus.
St. Cyril posits the meaning of the Greek IESOUS to mean “healer.” We have already posited that
Jesus is an NGANGA priest and one of the titles is that of a healer: which we know Jesus did a lot
healing according to the Biblical myth. He posits that the term derives from the Greek word IASOMAI meaning “to heal.” Arthur Drews15 states, “Epiphanius (Haeres, c, XXIX) clearly perceived this connection when he translated the name Jesus „healer‟ or „physician‟(curator, therapeutes).”
I argue that the name IESOUS is built off the consonantal root -s- in the Yoruba word ESU. The
root -s- in esu is the same root for ase which is typically used to mean, “the power to bring things into existence through sound” in liturgical Ifa. In Yoruba aṣẹ means “order” or a ṣẹ “it will happen.” Its cognate in Hebrew is siwwah “command.” In the Amarigna language it is ez “command.” In the ancient Egyptian its cognate is s3 “ordain, order.” As Oduyoye (1996:53) notes:
The concept of ase in Yoruba prayers can be seen from the concept of afose “the act of uttering in
such a way that the words have unfailing effect.” The power of afose is thought to be possessed by
some men who have potent powers to bless or to curse irrevocably. Such men are medicine men,
the priest-herbalists whose blessings are sought during religious festivals and whose curses
are feared. [emphasis mine]
This quote accurately describes a priest, an NGANGA, medicine man, a healer. It is common
knowledge that in African tradition healing is not only done with physical concoctions and instruments, but are aided by spoken words (spells). This is a common practice and it is believed that all efforts will render impotent results if not accompanied by the right words. Sound is the agent/force used to activate the potential of the invisible world (orun) and make it manifest in the physical (aiye). Is this not a major characteristic of Yeshua (Jesus, Iesous)?
=============================================
Interesting article to say the least, the author is an Afro-American in his 30s and claims he was initiated into Ifa tradition by a Babalawo. This is the kind of revolutionary scholarship showing that ISESE and ODINANI (traditional religion and governance) Abrahamic religions are knockoffs in a different language, weaponized against the original African traditional religions.

The significance here is that belief in and support of traditional religion also comes with belief in and support of traditional forms of governments.

Nice one

Africa was a province where the "Afri" tribe settled.
The Afri tribe was in Hannibal's army.
Afri were mercenaries, travelers and related to Falasha, Fulani, Afer, Afar, Berber, Eber. Nomads.

Africa does not come from Scipio africanus

During the period of the Roman Empire, Afer came to be a cognomen for people from Africa Proconsularis.

This ethnonym provided the source of the term Africa. The Romans referred to the region as Africa terra (land of the Afri), based on the stem Afr- with the adjective suffix -ic- (giving Africus, Africa, Africum in the nominative singular of the three Latin genders). Following the defeat of Carthage in the Third Punic War, Rome set up the province of Africa Proconsularis.

Victory titles were suffixed to the commander's name and were usually the name of the enemy defeated by the commander. Hence, names like Africanus "the African", Numidicus "the Numidian", Isauricus "the Isaurian", Creticus "the Cretan", Gothicus "the Goth", Germanicus "the German" and Parthicus "the Parthian", seemingly out of place for ardently patriotic Romans, are in fact expressions of Roman superiority over these peoples. Literally, this would be akin to calling generals Erwin Rommel "Rommel the African", George S. Patton, Jr. "Patton the German" and H. Norman Schwarzkopf "Schwarzkopf the Iraqi"; however, the real intended meaning would be better expressed as "Rommel of African fame", "Patton of German fame", "Schwarzkopf of Iraqi fame" and so forth. Some victory titles became hereditary cognomina, while others were personal agnomina and not carried on by later family members.

An alternate explanation may come from a North African tribe that the Romans encountered in Carthage, the Afri, or Ifira. The Ifira were a group of Berbers that dwelt in modern-day Tunisia. The name is still in use today. Africa, then, would be “the land of the Afri,” instead of “the land without cold.”

“Afri” was associated with the Phoenician afar “dust” and was used as the name for the society of people living near Carthage (an ancient city near Tunis) in northern Africa. Their existence was first noted during the Punic Wars (between 264 and 146 before our Common Era or BCE). These three wars were the largest of their time, fought between the Roman Empire and Carthage. They were a battle over space between the well established Carthage and the ever-expanding Rome. Rome was ultimately victorious. When this happened, Carthage became the capital of the Roman province of Africa (which was, in part, made up Phoenician Ruinsof the coastal section of Libya). The Roman suffix to denote a country was “-ca” and this was thus added to “Afri”. The Arabians of that time converted this name to “Ifriqiya” in Latin. In Algeria, this name still exists, as is evident by such areas as Ifira and Ifri-n-Dellal.

Another hypothesis is that the name of the 4th dynasty pharaoh, Kh-afre, reveals that an early Egyptian king had the name “Africa.”

Pass me that strong drink and make sure you read the article

Yes Scipio conquered a group called the AFRI who were in Hannibal's army. These nomadic AFRI are of the same stock found throughout the lands and history as ABORE, AFER, APIRU, BERBER, EBER, FALASHA (Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan's tribe). In Nigeria this stock is called "Fulani", "Fulbe", "Bororo". In Igbo we have the term "ebulu" - sheep, ONYE-EBULU sheep herder, pastorialist.

The point is the land was named after a group of nomads whom the Romans conquered. "Africa" is not representative of all Black people coming together, agreeing to be one people. Accepting the name wholeheartedly as an identity, is an excuse for Black groups from ever having a conference to name themselves and create a more perfect union.
The proverb "You make a dog accept a bad name in order to kill it" comes to mind. In terms of political and racial identity, Africa is a "bad name", but I know a lot of thieves, lecturers and politicians get paid off of this endless confusion so I will leave it alone for the time being.

This video explains who the Hebrews are.

The linguistic evidence demonstrates that the ancestors of the Hebrews and the ancestors of Black Africans once lived in the same speech community. The African religions and that of Judaism originate from a common shrine which was located in the Sahara (Kayinga) before its dessication. The ancestors of the Jews migrated east at the time of the desiccating Sahara while others migrated south. Neither stoped until they got to a viable river – the Nile, the Jordan, the Tigris, the Eurphrates to the east; the Kwara (Niger), the Binuwe (Benue), the Kongo, the Zambesi to the south.

It is during the times of the occupied Sahara when the myths of ‘dm, Hwwh (woman as mother of all life) and Qyn (the smith as a person of superhuman occupation) were shared. What each decided to do with the myths in later years became completely different. Those who migrated
West and South venerated ‘adm and Qyn, whereas the Hebrews got God to curse them both.

The veneration of dimu as ancestor in Africa reflects an older situation than the curse of ‘Adam by the Hebrews. Hebrew religion was a conscious innovation: Abraham consciously broke from the religion of his ancestors. The Hebrews rejected the religion of the Africans just as they rejected the religion of the Canaanites, based on their earlier beefs. Remember Genesis 46: 34. Judaism is the creation of idealists who called their people to swim against the cultural tide.

Only diviners as was done in Canaan, Egypt and Kush, Saul did not find it difficult to trace an obeah woman (es-et ba’a l-ey ‘owb “a woman who is expert at ‘owb” in I Samuel 28:7). It is this underground religion that had its origin in African religion. There was a similarity of religious
concepts between Canaan, Egypt and Kush. The Jews were in all these but their ideologues declared themselves not of it.

We are all familiar with the fact that the Israelites were a mixed multitude and in this mix were the apiru who during the Armana age the Egyptians called them “troublesome marauders.” It included Midianites, with whom Moses intermarried. A subgroup of the Midianites were haqqen-iy “the Ken-ites,” the itinerant guild of smiths.

Muafrika2:

Its true Africa - most of it, was very religious those days. But let's not forget there are oppressive African societies among us too. They need to be dealt with.

Those that still rule most of the North and as far south as Sudan. And Northern Nigeria. We can't go back to the pre colonial status quo. It's not good enough for some Africans who were considered of lower caste, slaves or subdued by other African tribal Nations. Their oppressors will just continue from where they left.

I've always thought Catholic has borrowed some black African traditions. Like ancestral worship and their role as intercessor between men and God.

Traditional religious political governments that promote black empowerment. Nothing like that exists in Africa. Northern nigeria? Muslim. South Sudan? Patterned after federal governments that european colonizers invented.

My quote was "When traditional leadership and government structures mix with Black empowerment and these traditional governments Confederate in the name of Black Power we will be a force to be reckoned with that surpasses the Vatican and the pope. "

Anyanwu shares similarities with Itongo of Zulu and "Aten" and "Nun" of ancient Kemet (black egypt before invasions)

A true model for a Black nation. The political and religious are intertwined in traditional leadership and language.

In Nigeria some closely related words for "Kgosi" were "Igwe" (Igbo) "Ogiso" (Edo/Benin). The Yoruba "Ade" crown designed like a nest with birds and is found in ancient Kush and Kemet.
Some of the ruling class of Yoruba were recent migrants from Sudan/Sahara/Kush (KOSO) who mixed with older natives.

Black Aboriginal leadership is what influenced Rome, Vatican City and the Pope by way of ancient Kush and Kemet.
When traditional leadership and government structures mix with Black empowerment and these traditional governments Confederate in the name of Black Power we will be a force to be reckoned with that surpasses the Vatican and the pope. Economically, spiritually, maritally, militarily, aesthetically and so on. We will have material wealth but not be materialistic.

The traditional religious-political governments are the past and the future. Point blank period

Liberated Africa: Pathways to Self-Transformational Development

http://www.businessghana.com/site/news/business/142853/Liberated-Africa:-Pathways-to-Self-Transformational-Development

Africa and African comes from Scipio Africanus an ancient Roman colonizer. It does not mean Black and even Black is not scientifically recognized or defined in any constitution.
Now that "Black Aboriginals" are getting information they will combine
1. Black Power
2. Self Definition and Local Definitions of "Blackness"
3. Traditional self government (which was religious based)
4. New Black Power, Traditional Self Governments, "Tribes" and Confederations. Conservative, Indigenous updated exclusive Educational systems along with Degrees, Titles.
Protection of Children. Laws for Marriage and Courtship.

This is inevitable as we discover our history and sidestep Western Indoctrinated Title Holders and European Thievery and Rape Based Government Systems and Eurasian Cults "so called Abrahamic Religions". It is only a matter of time.

Can someone tell me the various definitions of "Nsu" in Igbo?
The root being "su" to break out suddenly, or strike out. I am not referring to "nsu" stuttering or stammering.

I have researched on my own and seen nsu means
- loom or posts on a loom
- loss
- rammer used to strike gunpowder for a rifle.
- a type of segmentary lineage group

Please help me define "nsu", as this is research for a writing project. Thanks in advance
