African Cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo (Fu-Kiau) Chp 3 #wearereading African Philosophy.
Bunseki Fu-Kiau, Ph.D. is one of the great scholars of the African religion, and the leading authority on the Bantu-Kongo civilization. He is also a genuine practitioner of the Kongo spiritual tradition. He is initiated into the three "secret societies" Lemba, Khimba and Kimpasi. Lemba is the foundation for several African based religious practices including Palo Mayombe (Cuba), Vodou Petro (Haiti) and Candomble Angola (Brasil). African cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo explores the Bantu-Kongo religious and philosophical teachings, as well as concepts of law and crime. It connects the reader with one of the most ancient and powerful spiritual traditions-explore "seven-direction walk" of our origin and links to society, nature and the universe.

African storytelling is taking center stage once again — not just as entertainment, but as a powerful tool for identity, history, liberation, and global cultural connection.
On this edition of the Morning Show Conversation Segment, Afia TV spotlights the build-up to the 2026 Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival, an international platform dedicated to celebrating authentic African stories, Black identity, cultural memory, and diaspora connection through film and creative expression.
Joining the conversation is Ọnụọra Abuah, Director of the Abibitumi Film Festival & Conference, as we explore the vision behind one of the most culturally significant African-centered film gatherings bringing together filmmakers, storytellers, scholars, creatives, and audiences from across the continent and the global African diaspora.
Organized by Abibitumi and the Decade of Our Repatriation (DOOR) initiative, the festival is more than a showcase of films — it is a movement rooted in reclaiming African narratives and strengthening connections between Africans on the continent and descendants of Africa across the world.
At a time when global media spaces are increasingly questioning representation, ownership of narratives, and cultural authenticity, the Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival seeks to create a platform where African stories are told by Africans, for Africans, and with the fullness of African identity intact.This conversation examines the growing influence of African cinema, the importance of preserving indigenous stories, and the role film can play in reconnecting communities separated by history, migration, and the transatlantic slave trade.
What kinds of stories are shaping the 2026 edition?How is African cinema evolving beyond stereotypes and survival narratives?And why are festivals like this becoming increasingly important in the global cultural conversation?From heritage and spirituality to resistance, identity, language, migration, and liberation, the festival promises to spotlight films that challenge dominant narratives while celebrating the richness and complexity of African experiences.
As Nollywood, independent African cinema, and diaspora storytelling continue gaining international recognition, platforms like Abibitumi are helping redefine what global African storytelling can look like — bold, rooted, unapologetic, and deeply connected to history.This is more than film.It is memory, identity, culture, and connection projected onto the screen.#abibitumifilmfestival
