Watching the popular blogger, Very Dark Man’s video of the latest Benue massacre, his Cowrie neck and hand bands, an emblem of the Original African civilization, made me wonder whether this generation could go beyond its symbolism to stop the cultural annihilation of Africans that started 4,000yrs ago in Eurasia, which is beyond the capability of these national governments and policing he was calling to help.
From Southern China into Indus Valley and Eurasia, Black Africans were initially annihilated with sheer brute force from about 2000BC, known as Age of Iron/Ogun Age/ First Horsemen. Thereafter, during the Axial Age, they wrongly and mischievously adapted Ifa into religious and political dogma used to take over ancient Black Egypt, Carthage, Lake Chad (Ngarazamu), Daura to Senegambia and Morocco in the Age of Olokun/Second Horsemen. The last phase of Original African civilizational annihilation is the encircling of the source of the Original African civilization in South and Middlebelt Nigeria.
Some advocate State policing as a solution, but like national police, could be civilizationally infiltrated to look the other way. Some Christians back everything the Western Powers do against their people while African Muslims back Islamic imperialism, like Yoruba Muslims in Ilorin. National governments are a byproduct of Abrahamic imperialism to breakup and put other civilizations at a disadvantage, using Abrahamic dogma to mentally enslave before cultural annihilation. Middlebelters and other indigenous African peoples identify themselves as Christian North and South to protect them from Afro-Arabic annihilation, not knowing that the murderous herdsmen were a continuation of Abrahamic herdsmen written in their Holy Books that took over Black Canaan and Egypt. Like Coptic Christians worked with Arab invaders to wipe out Indigenous Africans in Egypt, it has been proven that the Christian West is backing these Afro-Arabic terrorists which made Niger, Chad and others overthrow their governments.
While Caliphates are the administrative units of the Afro-Arabic Islamic civilization, modern nations are administrative units of the Western Christian civilization, with the notable exception of China that created its own civilizational state to be able to compete and challenge Abrahamic civilizational hegemony. The problem is that the Original African civilization, the world’s oldest civilization, that is a continuum of dialects that spread from Ife to South Africa, has been balkanized into nations, regions and tribes that prevents a unified civilizational resistance.
The derailing of African knowledge systems that tied the civilization together, and administrative robbery that wrongly added the Middlebelt Original African ethnicities to the Northern Afro-Arabic region, as well as breaking the Southern Protectorate into East and West regions, totally derailed the Original African civilization. Those colonially defined as Yoruba and Igbo are the core of the Original African civilization that should unite to stop the Afro-Arabic civilizational annihilation knocking on their doors.
Only Ooni of Ife Oduduwa stool can unite the civilization to take a proactive step, not the Ogun kings of Edo, Oyo and Igala, nor professional politicians in government. Afenifere has taken the enviable step of creating a South and Middlebelt Leadership Forum, but only the cultural custodians of the ethnic nationalities that preceded colonial Nigeria, can effectively unite their civilization. Ooni of Ife has the unenviable uphill task to repair the psycho cultural damage inflicted by Abrahamic colonists that make Yoruba and Igbo, the two most populous and prosperous Original African groups, disunited with Prebendalist Pan Tribalistic perspectives.
Failure to unite these two groups will result in their complete annihilation within the next 250yrs, as Afro-Arabic herdsmen pick a village and a tribe at a time as they inch their Afroasiatic civilization towards the core of the Original African civilization. The populist move for separatism into Odua and Biafra will not only be smaller administrative units of Western imperialism, but it leaves the food basket behind with the Afro-Arabic civilizational imperialists that would use it to encircle and lay siege on the tribal nations until they lose their cultural identity. We saw how Oyo Empire was slowly engulfed by Afro-Arabians over two centuries.
National boundaries can’t stop civilizational imperialism, only a counter civilizational approach, based on a uniting civilizational narrative from common origins to collective aspirations and values, can defeat the moral and intellectual justification of Afro-Arabic civilizational imperialism, from its leaders to herdsmen that believe God gave them the right over non-believers and their lands. Infact the Universe did the Original African civilization a favor by putting Yoruba, Igbos and the most diverse Middlebelt ethnicities in one nation with the Sokoto Caliphate, the most populous Muslim population in Africa. It is within Nigeria that the true clash of civilizations will occur and be won by the Indigenous African civilization before the Black Race can rise again.
The South and Middlebelt must unite on all fronts. Ideologically, based on the civilizational narrative produced by the cultural custodians of ethnic nationalities. Politically, through the SMBLF to effect democratic change based on their 70% demographic majority. Militarily, by allowing right to bear arms for self preservation since national government can’t adequately protect the citizens over the last 500 yrs of Abrahamic onslaught. The civilizational mantra should be ‘touch one touch all’ to protect the Middlebelt fringes. Economically, by providing the maximum good to the maximum people regardless of tribe, religion or civilization.
From cosmic science, we have a once in 500yrs chance to fight for true freedom due to the combined efforts of Pluto/Oya (revolutionary change) and Uranus/Shango (universal justice) to change Neptune/Olokun spiritual consciousness leadership. Wake up African!
