Alice Ukoko talks about Religion, Spirituality, Conflict and Poverty in Africa. She explains why Religion, unlike Spirituality, is the main cause of conflict among different African communities and how it is used as a tool of exploitation that accounts, significantly, for poverty in Africa.

#NEW year, #Testimonials
Celebrating 6259 NEW YEAR Celebrations in Africa, Zimbabwe Nyaje Gokwe! Since earliest times, melanin dominant people (MDH) have sought to fulfil inherent deeply-rooted spiritual urge that links the to natural time cycles. They achieved this by engaging in electric and spirit filled New Year festivals. Everything was considered to start anew, untainted and original, as long as certain rituals were performed individually, as families, tribes, or in their specific kingdom. First, the celebrants would banish malicious spirits, any evils or sins of the past year or years, through specific cleansing processes. This would be followed by positive acts that would guarantee a propitious future. It was rare for mature adult participants to be unaware of the value of adhering seriously to these ancient mystical practices. However today billions of MDH toot their car horns and stay awake on December 31 ignorant of the certainty that this type of New Year even with decent horns blaring and awesome fireworks is being used as s tool to arouse evil spirits. They are ushering in a New Year that is not theirs but the roman deity Janus. Why Should we consciously celebrate New year in September? Because its our NEW YEAR, the beginning of a new life when leaves begin to change and Summer is upon us. Time to plant. Time to review what has happened in the last years and make necessary adjustments. It is also a Celestial calendar, a historic time reckoning system connected to us from our ancestor 4236-4241 Before Common Era. Which is over 6000 years ago. SUBSCRIBE Share and Enjoy...

In this episode, we consider the idea, feeling, and practice of love. But love as a concept is too embattled, as a feeling too limiting, and as a practice inadequate. Then there is the concept of ɔdɔ, which pokes at deep connection. It is one thing for a person to love the idea of you and what you can do for them; it is quite another for that person to love you for who you really and truly are. How do we know the difference and what do we do with that distinction? Stay tuned.
