THE WEALTH OF THE WESTERN WORLD.....................BUILT ON THE EXPLOITATION OF AFRICA

        Truth, they say, is stranger than fiction but then the truth must be told. Have you ever wondered why the western world is rich and Africa (particularlly black Africa) remains poor. Well, the reason is that the wealth of the Western World (Europe and America) was built by exploiting Africa's human and material resources.

          In Fact, Britian's debt to Africans in the continent and diaspora can be estimated to be in the trillions of pounds. It all started with slavery where African were forcefully taken away from Africa and forced to work in farms where sugar, coffeee, cotton and tobacco were planted, harvested and sold. The money made from these industries was used to develop english bankind, insurance, wool and cotton manufacture and the cities of Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow.

          In fact the sweat of the Africans indirectly contributed to the Industrial revolution in Britain in particular and Europe in general. The guinea coin paid homage in its name to the west African origins of one flood of gold. By this standard, the British pound since 1880 should have been rechristened the rand, for Britain's prosperity and its currency stability depended on South Africa's mines. I would wager that a large share of that gold in the IMF's vaults which was supposed to pay for Africa's debt relief had originally been stolen from that continent.

          In fact, after 1960, Britain and France attempted to corrupt the whole project of political sovereingnty. The remarkable thing is that Idi Amin (The brutal and corrupt African dictator) came to power in Uganda through British covert action and Nigeria's military generals were supported and manipulated from the 1960's onwards in support of Britains oil interests.

           So, it can be seen from the above, that European interests in Africa have allways been less than secure. It is time we Africans looked inwards for the solution to our problems. We need to develop our own intellectuals who will solve our problems for us. We have enough material resources to build our economy. We only need to beleive in ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

TRUTH BE TOLD!!!!!!!!!

The only group of people on planet earth that have been denied their own saviours is Black people. But we say that you can only be a delusional Black folk, a 21st century deluded slave when you have several blue-eyed devil, bleached-race White folks as your so called saviours but never a single Black saviour!!! Your ignorant and lost self will do anything to keep the memory of your White saviours alive, preserve the memory of your enemies in the most palatable ways, but never your own ancestors. You have been hoodwinked by the devils and now you are nothing to your race but a traitor, a waste of time because they told you that you are not worthy of a saviour, an hero that looks just like you and you actually believed them!!! Get yourself some Black saviours or continue to be the slave to the White man's control-mind agenda!!!

EMANCIPATE YOURSELF!!!!!!

        Black people globally must realize that since we do not control any of the famed popular media outlets be it in Africa or elsewhere, we must earnestly try to stay away for these media outlets, especially their television stations. In Africa, you have what looks like African owned media outlets but certainly with European contents, with White supremacists contents. Just like you have BET in Uncle Sam, this is a media outlet supposed to be controlled and of course managed by Black people but that is not happening because BET is the tool of White people basically to keep Blacks oppressed and exploited!!!
        So we say, cut off the CNN, the BBC, the BET, the African owned but White supremacists controlled media outlets everywhere. Cut them all off and take to a book. It is a waste of time spending a chunk of your time watching the oppressors planned actions against you. You are being programmed negatively when you watch these stations; your belief system is being poisoned as a result. And certainly you have to deal with unrealistic expectations watching the oppressors T.V stations. Emancipate yourself from the blue-eyed devil White folks incarceration!!!

BLACK HISTORY

Mansa Musa

Mansa Musa was one of the most powerful emperors that ever came out of Africa. His reign was very prosperous and marked a turning point in African history In fact, according to historians, he must have been richer than or equal to the legendary King Solomon in wealth.

 

He was the tenth Mansa which translates emperor of the wealthy West African Mali Empire. Mali then consisted of territoriy in present-day southern Mauritania, Mali and the immediate surrounding arears. Mansa Musa embarked on a large building program, raising mosques and madrases in Timbuktu and Gao. In fact, the ancient center of learning Sankore Madrash (University of Sankore) was constructed during his reign. During this peroid, there was an advanced level of urban living in the major centers of Male. In fact, scholars maintain that Mali then had at least 400 cities. It is in the historical records that Mansa Musa travelled through the cities of Timbuktu and Gao on his way to Mecca, and made them a part of his empire when he returned in 1325. He brought architects from Andalusia, a region in Spain and Cairo to huild his grand palace in timbuktu. Timbuktu soon became a center of trade, culture and Islam. The markets brought in merchants from Hausaland, Egpyt and other African kingdoms. A university was founded in the city and Timbuktu became a new area for Islamic Scholarship.

Queen Nzigna Queen Nzigha was one African queen who did not succumb to colionalism and its manifestations

Nainga was born to King Kiluanji and Kangela in 1583. She was greatly favored by her father who allowed her to witness as he governed his kingdom and in fact carried her with him to war. She lived during a period when the Atlantic slave trade and the expansion of power by the Porugues in the region was growing rapidly. To be more precise, in the 16th century, the Portugues position in the slave trade was threatened by England and France. As a result, the Portugues shifted their slave-trading activities to the congo and south West Africa. Mistaking the title of the ruler, ngola, for the name of the country, the Portuguese called the land of the Mbundu people "Angola"—the name by which it is still known today

 

 

 

 

YOU ARE WELCOME TO THE PAN AFRICAN CONSIOUSNESS RENAISSANCE

We promote Africa culture,history and consiousness both in Africa and in the diaspora. You can find out a lot of things about African history here from the days of Mansa Musa until the famous Benin Empire. We are here to reawaken the long dead African Consiousness back into reality and we will not stop until we Africans realize and understand our own uniqueness. There are many wonderful things to discover in Africa both from history and even our natural environment. Africa is indeed the origin of everything. From music to art to architecture and mathematics and science but it seems at a stage, like a man suffering from forgetfullness or amnesia we contacted historical amnesia and forgot who we are. We need to re-discover our sense of identity. Corruption and bad leadership has also played a part in putting Africa in dire straits and we will also make mention of it in this site. Pan-Africanism has covered calls for African unity (both as a continent and as a people), nationalism, independence, political and economic cooperation and historical and cultural awareness.
WHAT IS PAN AFRICANISM Pan-Africanism is an ideology and movement that encourages the solidarity of Africans worldwide. It is based on the beleif that unity is vital to economic, social and political progress and aims to unify and uplift people of African descent.

It is a movement meant to realize and understand the consiousness and identity of Africans. Ever since the era of Ancient Egypt, Africa has been pillaged untill the point where we have lost our identity and consequently, we as Africans are in a psychological, socological, cultural and political trauma that has resulted in all sorts of underdevelopment and it's various manifestations.

HISTORY OF PAN AFRICANISM

Pan-Africanism has allways been there since the time of Ancient Egypt which is arguably the worlds oldest civilization but in purely modern terms, pan-africanism could be said to have started with the foundation of the African Association in London in 1897 and the first Pan-African Conference held, again in London in 1900.
Henry Sylvester Williams, the power behind the African Association, and his colleagues were interested in uniting the whole of the African Diaspora, and gaining political rights for those of African decent. Others were more concerned with the struggle against colonialism and Imperial rule in Africa and the Caribbean -- Duse Mohamed Ali, for example, believed that change could only come through economic development. Marcus Garvey combined the two paths, calling for political and economic gains as well as a return to Africa (either physically or though a return to an Africanized ideology). Between the world wars, Pan-Africanism was influenced by communism and trade unionism, especially through the writings of George Padmore, Isaac Wallace-Johnson, Frantz Fanon, Aime Cesaire, Paul Robeson, CLR James, WEB Du Bois, and Walter Rodney. Significantly, Pan-Africanism had expanded out beyond the continent into Europe, the Caribbean and Americas. WEB Du Bois organized a series of Pan-African Congresses in London, Paris, and New York in the first half of the twentieth century. International awareness of Africa was also heightened by the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935. Also between the two world wars, Africa's two main colonial powers, France and Britain, attracted a younger group of Pan-Africanists: Aime Cesaire, Leopold Sedar Senghor, Cheikh Anta Diop, and Ladipo Solanke. As student activists they gave rise to Africanist philosophies such as Negritude. International Pan-Africanism had probably reached its zenith by the end of World War II when WEB Du Bois held the fifth Pan-African Congress in Manchester (in 1945).

African Independence

After the second World War, Pan-Africanist interests once more returned to the African continent, with a particular focus on African unity and liberation. A number of leading Pan-Africanists, particularly George Padmore and WEB Du Bois, emphasized their commitment to Africa by emigrating (in both cases to Ghana) and becoming African citizens. Across the continent, a new group of Pan-Africanists arose amongst the nationalists -- Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Ahmed Toure, Ahmed Ben Bella, Julius Nyerere, Jomo Kenyatta, Amilcar Cabral, and Patrice Lumumba. In 1963, the Organization African Unity was formed to advance cooperation and solidarity between newly independent African countries and fight against colonialism. In an attempt to revamp the organization, and move away from it being seen as an alliance of African dictators, it was re-imagined in July 2002 as the African Union. Modern Pan-Africanism Pan-Africanism today is seen much more as a cultural and social philosophy than the politically driven movement of the past. People, such as Molefi Kete Asante, hold to the importance of ancient Egyptian and Nubian cultures being part of a (black) African heritage, and seek a re-evaluation of Africa's place, and the Diaspora, in the world.
