'Why is Africa, such a rich country in opportunities, so poor?'

‘Africans must come home.’ Because of this quote by ex-president Nyerere (Tanzania), the life of Godfrey Nzamujo (Nigeria) was completely transformed. As a young student, he had come to California, living an easy life with the money of his community and the church. After seeing starving African children on TV, he decided to go home, where he transformed a piece of wasteland into ‘Songhai’ a successful project in Benin that moved Ban Ki-moon to tears!
I met this Dominican friar in Amsterdam together with Dutch entrepreneurs. Africans are called to go home, because ‘the future of Africa lies in its lands, its climate and its agricultural work, which is so poorly appreciated in the continent today.’

‘Afrikanen moeten naar huis terugkeren’. Door deze uitspraak van ex-president Nyerere (Tanzania) veranderde het leven van Godfrey NZAMUJO volledig. Aanvankelijk leidde hij een comfortabel leventje in Californië met het geld dat zijn gemeenschap en de kerk hem voor zijn studies ter beschikking hadden gesteld. Na beelden van ondervoede Afrikaanse kinderen, ging hij naar Afrika terug. Hij transformeerde een stuk braakliggende grond tot de bloeiende onderneming ‘Songhai’ in Benin, een ongelooflijk succesverhaal dat Ban Ki-Moon (secretaris VN) volledig enthousiast maakte voor Afrika.
Ik ontmoette deze dominicaanse friar in Amsterdam samen met Nederlandse agrarische ondernemers. Nzamujo roept Afrikanen op, zoals eens Nyerere deed, om zich in Afrika in te zetten want ‘the future of Africa lies in its lands, its climate and its agricultural work, which is so poorly appreciated in the continent today.’

Abibitumi Kasa, uhuru sasa na yɛpɛ
Èdè òmìnira, ɛno ara na yɛkyerɛ
Ndox du fatte yoon am,
Moo tax nu jéém bë dee,
Wo werɛ afi, wosan kɔfa a,
Yɛnkyi ɛfiri sɛ,
Mfûndu za boko ka zisômpolongo zu ko,
Yɛn nti yɛn nananom kɛtrɛma mporɔ,
Ọmọ tí a kò bá kọ́,
Gbélé t'a bá kọ́ tà,
Ukweli ni mwacha asili ni mtumwa,
Nti bra Abibitumi Kasa bra bɛsua adeɛ,
Na wobɛhunu sɛ fahodie kasa na yɛkyerɛ,
O máa rí pé òmìnira jẹ́ nǹkan tí a fẹ́,
K'á sì lè dá èrò, dá ara, dá ilẹ̀ wa sílẹ̀!
(Abibitumi Kasa...xam sa bopp...moom sa bopp!)
Black Power and Freedom now; the goals for which we aspire,
Language of liberation's what we teach to inspire,
Rivers don't forget they path, so we flow til we expire,
If you forget go back and get and don't just sit, that's not desired,
cause,
LiberAtion LANguage ain't borrowed from no one else,
Ancestor's tongue not to rot for real depends upon ourselves,
A child untaught rebels against a heritage of wealth,
Rejectin' your inheritance and you're a slave ready to sell,
It ain't hard to tell, Abibitumi Kasa, learn a thing,
Because language of liberation is the thing that we bring,
We sing of Afrikan Freedom at home, abroad, one aim, one plan,
So we can free our minds, free ourselves and also free the land!
(Abibitumi Kasa...know yourself...be owned by no one else!)

A much-needed discussion among Pan-Africanist from varying perspectives on the issue of religion, spirituality, and culture in the African liberation fight.

⁣Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan: On WLIB 3/11/92 "The Black Jew From Outside the Door" [Pt1/2]

⁣Darren will share his research that looks at the important historical and current events that have impacted and shaped the lives of African people in the diaspora. He will provide insight into some of traumatic experiences that we as the current generations inherit and how it affects us today.

Exploring some of the healing modalities accessible through rites of passage which include the use of entheogenic plants, Darren will highlight some ground breaking research that supports these activities as a way to start the healing process.

With the renaissance gaining momentum, how do we ensure that all people across the world, from all backgrounds, are represented at the table and consulted about the future applications of these psychedelic experiences?
