Ancient Gabon, Zambia, Nigeria, Mali, Chad, Congo, Khem, South Africa and Ethiopia

This presentation concentrated on prehistoric and ancient cultures in Africa and elsewhere. Namely, Gabon, Zambia, Nigeria, Mali, Chad, Congo, Khem, South Africa and Ethiopia.






The problem with many western researchers is that most of them do not look or research many old sites past the Sahara Desert. It is unfortunate for them but quite fortunate for a researcher like me.

Viva Nigeria, Black People, Itiopi, Africa

Are you aware that Nigerians are setting the pace worldwide and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves? If you watch and listen to BBC, CNN, MSNBC, SKY, Aljazeera and the rest of the mainstream media of doom, they will have you believing that Nigerians are all criminals. With accolades like drug dealers and smugglers, fraudsters, and generally untrustworthy. 

These deplorable accolades originated from the mainstream media principle of perception deception. Based on understating many of the remarkable achievements of Nigerians and overstating the crimes committed by a tiny minority that is less than 1% of Nigerians living abroad.

However, I beg to differ from the unwarranted and undeserved labels bestowed upon us by my dear media of deception. I will list many reasons why all Nigerians should be proud of themselves. As for me, proud to be a Black man, African and a Nigerian.

You see, happiness is a perfume one must pour it on self for others to appreciate it. Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljazeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians: Do you know that??

Archaeologists of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in their excavations carried out in the early 1970s, discovered huge stacks of various kinds of stone tools – hand axes, knives, picks, cleavers - in the Igbo town of Ugwu-Ele (‘Hill of Ele’), Isuikwuato, Abia State, Nigeria. The archaeologists concluded that the tools spanned from the Early, Middle to Late Stone Age (at least 500,000 – 80,000 B.C.)

The British member of the UNN Archaeology department at the time, Professor D. David, concluded that the site was the largest stone axe factory in the world! We are not aware of any other in the world with such an enormous amount of stone axes and other tools. To learn more click here.



The location of modern-day Nigeria used to be one of the powerhouses of the Niger-Korfordian language groups.

The Yoruba and Igbo God Orunmila devised a computer compatible binary coding system to make retrieval of the Divine Messages (Ifa) easier, occurring thousands of years before the emergence of computer consciousness in the so-called modern man. Ifa is preserved in binary coded format and is output Parable - Format. 

"Ifa Oracle divination is based on the square of 16=16x16=256, 2^8 corresponding to the vertices of an 8-dimensional hyper-cube and to the binary 2-choice Clifford algebra C1(8) and so to related ones such as C1(8)xC1(8) = C1(16). Since the number of sub-hypercubes in an 8-dimensional hypercube is 6,561 =81x81= 3^8. The Ifa Oracle has N=8 ternary 3-structure as well as binary 2-structure." To learn more click here.


Recent archaeological research has shown that people were already living in Nigeria (specifically in Iwo-Eleru), as early as 11,000 BCE, and perhaps earlier at Ugwuelle-Uturu (Okigwe) in south-eastern Nigeria. To learn more click here.

It is not a coincidence that Wawa and Nkannu are the aboriginal clan-names Nsukka and the people of Enugu state! As recorded in Egyptian history as having taken place ca. 8,970 B.C. during the wars of Horus and Seth! To learn more click here.


The Dufuna boat predated the Egyptian Solar Boat and Noah by over 2000 years, Moses and most of the Biblical and Islamic Prophets, and Jesus over 6500 years. The age of the boat has been put at about 8000 - 8500 years old (6000 - 6500 BCE), thus, becoming the oldest boat in Africa and the second oldest on earth. To learn more click here.

The Oshuru object in Lejja is in the shape of the celestial disc/mound, flanked by a crescent-shaped pile of slag rounded into a circle around the disc. The Egyptian Book of the Dead says that the Duat city of Abydos in Heliopolis was called Busiris – (House of Osiris).


The word Busiris – (House of Osiris) is an Igbo expression, meaning Obu Oshuru – (House of Oshuru) or (House of Osiris). Professor Achonolu expanded that Osiris, the Lord of the Egyptian Duat, was the Lord of the Lejja smelters. To learn more click here.

Zachariah Sitchen reveals that the Sumerian term Dun/Duni (which survives to this day in Dunu Oka village in Lejja) is equivalent to the Assyrian word Ka’ini (the root of the word Canaan) and that Sumerian and Assyrian texts maintained that “Ashur is the Lord of Duni”.


According to Prof Achonolu Duni referred to Dunu Oka, and Ashur is the title of the Egyptian god Osiris and the origin of his name. Osiris is the Sun Disc. To learn more click here.

The fact that the pre-historic smelters of Igbo land preserved the names of Sumerian gods Utu and Adad. To learn more click here.

The kings of Heliopolis bear two Plumes on their heads, a white-feathered crown, a flail, a U-forked staff. (The fact that Osiris wears two plumes as on his conical hat, shaped like Igbo Okwu agu, and he carries the Igbo metal staff (Alo) and flies whisk (Nza), as seen in all his images in Egyptian texts, looked like an Igbo royalty)? To learn more click here.


The upward-slanting stripe above the eye (left) is the Sumerian Ogam letter M. Added to the crescent/sun-disc, both create the word MA-GAN. Magan was a famous Sumerian ancient city always mentioned along with Egypt in Sumerian texts, but the identity of the City and the people is shrouded in uncertainty. Prof Achonolu asserted that the famous NOK slanting eyes with a holed pupil symbolises MAGAN. To learn more click here.

Probably the most ancient and first Ogham (aka Celtic Script) is the "Stick Writings" of the West African Igbo culture studied by Catherine Acholonu. To learn more click here.

Menes was called Aha or Aka, a title which in Igbo tradition implies that he was a dwarf (Aka Ushi) and a goddess worshiper (for it is the Igbo astronomical symbol of the dot enclosed in the circle).


The 2nd king after Menes used the title Attah. The 3rd Pharaoh of Menes dynasty used the title Gani Eri; the 4th used the title - Bag Eri, including the 5th using the title Dan in Egyptian seals, translated as Dun Du in Indian king-lists of the same kings from a common heritage of humanity. Dun Du can be said to be an abbreviation of Dunu Idu. Gani Eri equates to Shar Eri, meaning King Eri. To learn more click here.

The symbols denoting the Oduduwa alphabet, numbers and punctuation marks were discovered in a shrine located in Ile-Ife, Western Nigeria.


The enormous earthwork called Benin Walls, also known to be the lengthiest in the world, was constructed by the Edo people of the defunct Great Kingdom of Benin. An ancient marvel on par with world wonders like the Taj Mahal of India or the Great Wall of China, it was constructed to secure and protect the kingdom from invaders.

Work first began around 800 AD and continued up until around 1460. The structure on completion, comprised of moats and ramparts, covered a border distance of about 16,000 kilometres, the 16,000 sq. kilometres and enclosed about 6,500 square kilometres of community land in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlements. Altogether this was double the length of the Ming Great Wall of China, which measured 8,851 kilometres. 



The new official length of 21,196 kilometres was announced on June 5th 2012, after this discovery of the Walls of Benin displaced the Great Wall of China under its old measurements.

The location of the old Benin city is still the present-day location of Benin city in Edo state, south-west Nigeria. When the Europeans first arrived at the Benin kingdom in the late 15th Century, they were astonished by the wealth, quality of life and organisation. And at the same time, London was a city awash with thievery, murder, prostitution, Bribery and a thriving black market. London had a population of 50,000 in 1500 compared to  80,000-100,000 in Benin (Bondarenko 2001: 123–125).


Houses and streets plan incorporates a mathematical pattern unknown to Europeans at the time. Initially, they thought it was disorganised, and the streets were broad and ran straight as further as one can visualise. Benin was one of the first ancient cities to have some street lights. These were high huge metal lamps placed around the City, with a wick fuelled by palm oil enabling illumination at night.

Between 800-500 years ago, Benin cast metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world-famous Queen Ida Mask. 


Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what she means to Africa.

In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you’ll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated. 


60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.
Nigerians in the US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k. 

In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations.
A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, has officially been named the smartest family in the UK.
The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State.
The World’s fastest supercomputer was designed by a world-renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world’s fastest computer: a Nigerian.
Nigerians, Aliko Dangote Aliko Dangote GCON (born 10 April 1957) is a Nigerian businessman, investor, and owner of the Dangote Group.



South Africa couldn’t have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.
Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled after apartheid, two of them once
lived in Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.



Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil.
When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power.
We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich and does not have to be lied to.
The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station.
Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past. If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you’ll not get the full & true picture of your Nigerian heritage.



On the 7th of May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians. 
The entire world still envies our uniqueness as a NATION, living together despite our ethnic diversity. One single country with over 400 languages. They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas. If you don’t blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you.



Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who they are, their status or position in government. We’re not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness.

There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians worldwide and only about 250,000 of these figures have traceable criminal records. This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media because these tactics are also the same for, Black people, cultures or countries, especially the brutal version in relation to African Americans.

Listen Nigeria, don't let anybody woo you into believing that you are a criminal just because you are a Nigerian. Nigerians are NOT criminals. You are NOT a criminal. You are top-notch; second to none around the world. 

Sadly, the British Government blew up most of the Benin walls under the guise of Punitive Expedition in 1897, and also hundreds of Step Pyramids on Nsunde Hills in Enugu State, Nigeria, in the 50s. It was the largest concentration of step pyramids south of the Sahara desert.



We are all infected with propagandist spells based on spiffs like rolling a spliff and making a fist which caused a rift, thereby costing us the feast while sifting the yeast and grabbing the wrist of the beast residing in the east. 

Declaring to our noddle to clear their oodles while pretending to pet their poodles, we are now at Rome in our dome, The quest for the chest in their nest is an investment in the rest, We jest will test the pests.


Shape-shifting media Skink I have spotted you long before you saw me. So, if you turn into a python, I will turn into big sharp needles. If confronted by a lion, I will turn into an elephant through your shape-shifting exploit. 




If you turned into an elephant, I would turn into soldier-ants. 

Turn into a fire, and I will turn into a river. 

Upon you turning into a rock, will make me turn into lava. 


My blood is as bitter as the spleen and inedible. 

There is nothing to be gained here but pain that will linger in your brain, unable to be washed out with rain. 

Oh, media of gloom the weapon of mass deception, the cesspool of human misery, temple of fear.  

My dear Media, with this spell, I banished thee.

YORUBAS ARE GENETICALLY 99.9% SIMILAR TO THE IGBOS

A STUDY FINDS THAT THE YORUBAS ARE GENETICALLY 99.9% SIMILAR TO THE IGBOS
JULY 22, 2018 by DON JAIDE

Study Finds that Yorubas Are Genetically 99.9% Igbo. Four of the major coastal ethnic groups of Western Africa: the Yoruba, Igbo, Akan and the Gaa-Adangbe are dissimilar at a glance and evidently geographic neighbours, but very closely related when examined at the genetic level. 


DNA is a double-stranded helix. That is each DNA molecule is comprised of two biopolymer strands coiling around each other to form a double helix structure. ... Basically, the DNA is composed of deoxyribonucleotides. The deoxyribonucleotides are linked together by 3′ – 5′phosphodiester bonds.

Emotive questions based on racial or tribal connotations, from those who are suffering from mental annexations. 

Asking a rude question like, are you in or have ever been in an interracial marriage? An intrusive question like are you mixed-race? Or, a silly question like, are you, friends, with anybody in an interracial marriage? These are some of the questions asked as a pre-condition to joining some of the black discussion groups.

Those who feel themselves in everything and everything in themselves feel no grief. How can the multiplicity of life delude those obsessed with all things singular?

Why are Black people so obsessed with shades of brown or tribal affiliations. There are over 100 shades of brown and over 1000 established and affiliated tribes in Africa. The most lethal out of the two prejudices is the tribal conflicts that can lead to civil wars. For example, the Biafran war between the Yoruba and Hausa against the Igbo who initiated the conflict cost 2 million lives and many more wounded.

Well, let us spin it around by asking them ridiculous questions like, is Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, or Colin Karpenich black enough for the inquisitors?  Were the humongous casualties suffered by Nigeria during the civil war, worth it? These are clueless assertions, purposeless presumptions, and preposterous propositions.

Well, which people are killing other Africans, in South Africa today. Is it the mixed-race people? No. Is it interracial marriage couples? No. Is it the White people? No. They are been killed by certain Black South-Africa tribes or groups. Be very careful about what you wish for while your worst enemy is lying on the bed in warmth with you, your best friend might be freezing lying in the shed.

If spiders web unites, they can tie up an elephant. However, the unification of the spider's webs depends on the unity of the spiders regardless of the shades of the species or webs affiliations.

Several studies have been employed over the years, with findings showing the genetic similarity between different regional ethnic groups. One, in particular, conducted by Adebowale Adeyemo, Guanjie Chen, Yuanxiu Chen, the National Human Genome Centre and Howard University, and Charles Rotimi of the University of Ibadan, provided results indicating the genetic similarities between the four major West African ethnic groups.


It is important to remember that these groups were not initially split by national borders; prior to the European division of the continent, these ethnic peoples traded, migrated and wedded as the times permitted, allowing apparent regional and national mixtures that remain evident in modern-day genetic analyses of some Yoruba and Igbo individual.

Also worthy of note is the shared Volta-Niger root languages, Yoruba and Igbo languages belong to the same family (YEAI branch), showing the common start of the diverse languages spoken by these ethnicities.

Consequently, barring the inclusion of culture, ethnic affiliation and nationality, it could be said that the Yorubas, the Igbos, the Akans, and the Gaa-Adangbes are but ONE people spread over a wide area with different ways of life. Thus, discrediting any claim of a unique Yoruba “race” or a genetically insured Igbo ethnicity is often employed by politicians and traditional rulers in rhetorics and propaganda messages.

A body does not fight itself. These kinds of research serve as a balm to the much-divided heart of the ethnically-concerned West African, and to the African at large: one root, many branches; united by blood if not spirit.

For example; the Igbo God Nri also called Orunmila in Yorubaland, Thoth or Tehuti, in Egypt, Hermes Trismegistus in Greece and different names in China, Japan, Australia (Aboriginal Myth), and in both South and North Americas, cannot be unique to the Igbo tribes alone.



Furthermore, Orunmila, in order to make access to the retrieval of the Divine Message (Ifa) easy, devised the computer compatible binary coding system, thousands of years before the emergence of computer consciousness in so-called modern man! So, Ifa is preserved in binary coded format and is output Parable - Format. According to many indigenous African legends, "their gods once existed as humans and had their way of communicating. Prior to their disappearance, they left with the people a means to communicate with them in the outer realm (Oracle Divination Systems)."

In addition; the Igbo God Eshi also called Obatala in Yorubaland told us a similar story about flood and creation myth, apart from the fact that the tools employed to dry the land are slightly different. Instead of Oka Smiths, Hills, and Bellows, in Igbo Flood and Creation Mythology, the Yoruba Flood and Creation Mythology, stated a snail's shell filled with sand, a white hen, a black cat, palm nut and a Chain (Signifying DNA).

Homer in an often-quoted passage tells how the Greek gods used to go on their feast-days to Ethiopia to commune with their ancestors. Dionysius wrote, “Upon the great Atlantic (formally known as Sea of Ethiopia), near the isle of Eritrea, for his pastures famed, the sacred race of Ethiopians dwell.” The original Niger-Congo 11,000 BCE, the homeland in the general vicinity of the upper Nile valley is probably as good a hypothesis as any.


We have to remember that the Greek historian informs us what the Egyptians told him directly concerning their origins and customs. We are told by Diodorus that: They say also that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony. And the larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold Ethiopian, the colonists still preserving their ancient manners.

Ancient Itiopi (Africa) consisted of Itiopi Proper, Westen and Central Africa,  Itiopi Inner, Southern Africa, Itiopi and Khem, Egypt. Even though Libyco-Berber is not a conventional written or spoken language like the modern one, it was instrumental in deciphering the Olmec writing.

The Niger-Kofordian language group contained Itiopi Proper, Westen and Central Africa,  Itiopi, Ethiopia. Is the Niger-Kofordian symbols the precursor to predynastic Egyptian writing?
 


Tifinagh, aka Libyco-Berber, originated from ancient Libya in Africa, previous known as Itiopi. During the pre-historic and ancient period, ancient Libya was geographically within the boundary of Itiopi Proper.

Professor L Weiner and C winter established the 13 consonants in the Olmec writing system via Libyco-Berber symbols, proofing the African origin of the Olmec writing system.



Ounjougou, Mali

Swiss archaeologist digs up West Africa's past: By Simon Bradley
THIS CONTENT WAS PUBLISHED ON JANUARY 18, 2007 10:56 AMJAN 18, 2007 - 10:56

The ravine at Ounjougou allows access to layers of sediment over 30,000 years old (Eric Huysecom) A Swiss-led team of archaeologists has discovered pieces of the oldest African pottery in central Mali, dating back to at least 9,400BC. The sensational find by Geneva University's Eric Huysecom and his international research team, at Ounjougou near the Unesco-listed Bandiagara cliffs, reveals important information about man's interaction with nature. 

The age of the sediment in which they were found suggests that the six ceramic fragments - discovered between 2002 and 2005 - are at least 11,400 years old. Most ancient ceramics from the Middle East and the central and eastern Sahara regions are 10,000 and between 9-10,000 years old, respectively. "In the beginning, the very first piece we found stayed in my desk drawer for years, as I didn't realise how old it was," Huysecom told swiss-info.

Huysecom heads a 50-strong interdisciplinary team, composed of 28 international researchers – mainly from Germany, Mali, Switzerland, France, and Britain - on the largest current archaeological research project in Africa, entitled "Human population and paleo-environment in West Africa". Ounjougou was selected as the location, "as everything led us to believe that there we could follow the evolution of man, the environment and the climate", explained Huysecom. 

The site is an archaeologist's dream: a ravine made up of layers of easy-to-date sediment rich in West African history. Since the launch of the project in 1997, the team has made numerous discoveries about ancient stone-cutting techniques and tools, and other important findings that shed light on human development in the region. But the unearthing of the ancient fragments of burnt clay is one of the most significant to date. Huysecom is convinced that pottery was invented in West Africa to enable man to adapt to climate change.

"Apart from finding the oldest ceramic in Africa, the interesting thing is that it gives us information about when and under what circumstances man can invent new things, such as pottery," he explained. "And the invention of ceramic is linked to specific environmental conditions – the transformation of the region from a desert into grassland."

Some 10,000 years ago, at the end of the ice age, the climate is thought to have fluctuated between warm and cold periods. This led to the formation of an 800-kilometre-wide band of tropical vegetation extending northwards from the Sahel region, which attracted people who slowly moved north from southern and central Africa. Wild grasses and pearl millet started sprouting on the former desert land. But for man to be able to eat and properly digest the new plants, they had to be stored and cooked in pots. 

"Man had to adapt his food and way of life by inventing pottery," said the Geneva professor. The invention of ceramic also coincided with that of small arrowheads - also discovered by the team - which were probably used to hunt hares, pheasants and other small game on the grassy plains. 

To date, East Asia – the triangle between Siberia, China, and Japan – is the only other area where similar pottery and arrowheads have been found which are as old as those in West Africa, explained Huysecom.

"This is important, as they both appear in the same way, at the same time and under similar climatic conditions, which indicates that man has certain modes of adaptation to cope with environmental changes," he commented. Ahead of the final publication of the team's research findings this year,

Huysecom is returning to Ounjougou to rejoin his colleagues, in particular, those from West Africa "who are extremely proud of the discovery".

He plans to scour the region for caves and other settlement sites to try and find out exactly where the pottery came from so as to determine more precisely the age of the fragments. "We know [from the sediment] that they are at least 11,400 years old, but they could be 50 or even 1,000 years older."

Key facts
9,400BC: the invention of pottery in Mali, West Africa.
9,400BC: first use of wild cereals in the Sahara and Sahel regions.
8,000BC: the invention of pottery in the Middle East and Sahara.
7,500BC: domestication of pigs, sheep, and goats in the Middle East.
7,000BC: domestication of cows in Africa.
5,700BC: development of irrigation in Mesopotamia.
3,800BC: use of the wheel in the Black Sea and Caucasus regions.
3,700BC: first large city, Uruk in Iraq.
3,400BC: first phonetically readable script in Egypt.

I Saw You, Black History

I Saw You Black History

You switch on your vulgar-infused smile and spread your tattered mat for my aching feet. Like a curious bird, I swooped down to take a closer look. Black culture, I saw you bemused like an alligator without a single tooth. 


The slamming clarion of Muslim mosques, 

The enchanted hymns of Christian churches, 

The melodic rhythm of divination priests, 

And the satanic clamour of mainstream media. 

Black history, I saw you like a tiger without its claws.


We are all infected with propagandist spells based on spiffs like rolling a spliff and making a fist which caused a rift, thereby costing us the feast while sifting the yeast and grabbing the wrist of the beast residing in the east. 

Black heritage, I saw you like a canoe without its paddles.


African leaders pontificating and perambulating like peerless pangs, 

They assimilate the perception of their deceivers to the degree of obsequiousness.  

Based on Parergon's knowledge of their ancient history and not the Pantagruelian version.


Meanwhile, their western handlers have stimulating banter with the punters, on the stories of hunters of immortals, cluttered with a clatter 

and must be shattered like a matter of mad hatters.

Black elite, I saw you like a cobra that has lost its fangs.


African religious bigots and their assumptions based on horror from the error that mirrored the terror, turning from editor to the auditor and predators of the matadors, clinging to the ring that no longer has bling. 



Oh, fake people of the cloth and masters of deception, I compelled you to stop your descendants, who are all dependents plus make their spitting redundant, to spare the young mind of the contestants. 


Oh Okra, mighty vegetable, use your slime to make the venomous spit miss the timing of the distance and hit the ground in an instant.  

African preachers, I saw you as an emperor without his apron.



Unethical politicians presiding over schools lacking students, 

Tables without meals and roads full of potholes. 

And night, ha, it comes with the excruciating rumble of supperless stomachs,

The unmistakenly bang of angry guns,

The occasional bawling of weeping wives,

The loud rumble of verbal jousting,

The brainless policy of teaching our children about the glory of foreign deities while having a belligerent attitude towards their own,

African elite, I saw you like a dog obsessed with eating its tail.



Shape-shifting media Skink I have spotted you long before you saw me. So, if you turn into a python, I will turn into big sharp needles. If confronted by a lion, I will turn into an elephant through your shape-shifting exploit. 


If you turned into an elephant, I would turn into soldier-ants. 

Turn into a fire, and I will turn into a river. 

Upon you turning into a rock, will make me turn into lava. 


My blood is as bitter as the spleen and inedible. 

There is nothing to be gained here but pain that will linger in your brain, unable to be washed out with rain. 

Oh, media of gloom the weapon of mass deception, the cesspool of human misery, temple of fear.  

My dear Media, with this spell, I banished thee.



Black academics still classify the study of our ancient deities as primitive and satanic while insisting that Greek mythology is classical. 

Plus the insolency of calling them primitive, barbaric and uncivilised, when they have begotten many ancient writing systems to the human race,

These assertions would lead to famine in farming from lands begotten, with fields forgotten, and plants unplanted from seeds unseeded by weeds, demanding bees for fees. 

Black educator, I saw you like a snail minus its shell.



Oh, colonial masters, cluttering our crown with their chronic chaos and spinning our spirits into spineless spooks,

For innocent he was not, the pope of the third issuing the dictums of killing them all, and all of them that the lord will recognise his own when his home alone.

The frightening freaks they found and flung were fast and furious, sometimes superior and hailed as heroes in the hall of Paul.

Their erroneous history in mystery is cryptically risky on the lips of Iscariot, the Judas jettisoned, jiggling and juggling like jagged Jake,

The destruction of Benin's wall and the Nsude pyramids, 

To hide the ancient glories of our dear departed ancestors.




Declaring to our noddle to clear their oodles while pretending to pet their poodles, we are now at Rome in our dome, 

The quest for the chest in their nest is an investment in the rest, 

We jest will test the pests.

Colonial masters, I saw you like a wolf in sheep's clothing.


Alas, in African countries, the almighty is not angry with you but, your ancestors are. 


For the wanton destruction of their sacred land,

For exchanging their ancient philosophy for meaningless isms,

For the gradual depreciation of our moral compass,

For the relentless corruption of our spiritual awareness,

For conscious and subconscious desecration of their holy sites,

For the looting of their ancient monuments,

For turning their signs of literacy, proudly worn on their faces signifying unity into tribal marks, the signature of disunity,

Making it easy to be dangled from a mangle of tangles, 

At an angle with a candle sitting on a bangle, 

With a shackle on their ankles and displayed on the mantle in the temple, 

Forced to eat an apple laced with poisonous maple or was is staples, terrible samples not quite ample. 

African countries, I saw you like a diamond that has lost its sparkle.



Almighty Lord, let the healing process begin through our ancestors with the power of nine.  

Thereby, we invoke the forces in this immensely powerful numeral and symbol.


The numeric value given and allocated to the head of the Masters of Cycles and Lords of Men, the speed of light, universal tune, the pregnancy term of human babies, is a 360-degree circle, and all it contains, like time and angles.

 


For each of the Eight Natural Law principles equates to nine by adding the ascending and descending order of the individual principle,

Starting from ground zero, the earth, which is a circle and moving swiftly upward to the root (Material and Physical Plane), many are stuck here and can never escape.

Then, moving up a level to the spleen (The Plane of Force), controlling our aggression and freeing ourselves from fear of men and spear.



The next step is the ascension to the solar plexus (The Spiritual Plane), the home of Mystic Philosophy.

Followed by upward elevation to the heart (The Plane of Devine Love),

Then, another upward level to the throat (The Plane of Devine Truth),

Followed by another ascension to the pineal gland (The Plane of Devine Reality), the third eye,

Then, another upward elevation to the pituitary gland (The Gateway of Mind and Body), the crown.

The final elevated level is the plane of separation of the mind from the body and unification with the most-high.



The unity of our mind with the highest form of self, 

Plugging our soul into the universal circuit of consciousness, the Almighty,

Repairing our bad-lucks,

Rekindling our shrunken spirit,

Freeing our visions from the veils of deceit,

Assimilating power from all things superior above and all things inferior below, 

And breathing, thinking, and seeing as one with ALL.
