For promoting ignorance and racism?
I'm from DR Congo, and my gf is from Cameroon. Recently she went to visit her home,and she sent me a video where she visited the chief,and she took bottles of whiskey so i was very confused. I asked why not traditional drinks from Cameroon, and she said that the chief doesn't accept it. Also,I noticed that everyone was rather speaking french in the village, and,again,I asked why? My gf said that they dont know how to speak their own language because it's hard😮😢. Then they all go to the cathedral where you can see a big statue of white jesus,and inside this huge photo of white Marry and jesus and the angels. The young black priest is wearing this big gown with white marry on it. Everyone is passing and kneeling before these white faces with their kids,...I realised how colonised the african still is,and the church plays a big role in that conditioning and suppressing of the black mind from the young age.

The Europeans have colonised African minds with falsehoods because it makes it easy for them to control you. They want to destroy and to eradicate Africa languages and culture so that it is easier to recolonise you again. All you will get out of this is fake European culture fake medicine western religions fake history fake foods Eurocentric education false religions and Christ etc so how does any of this benefit African culture and societies? If Africans want to follow all this European nonsense then that’s up to them but God had said do not follow the ways of the heathens and he is right. All this leads to destruction which is why God also said be in the world but not of the world so each person has to find their way and path good luck!!!

Wow, thank you for sharing! I born in Eritrea Ethiopian, when I was little girl I witnessed all that you explain in Eritrea then Ethiopia. Until this day the so called never colonised Ethiopia is getting worse, all they want is European food such pasta, clothes, even for marriage, for example they build products in Ethiopia, but they had to labeled made in: French, Italy etc, in order people to buy them, 30 yrs ago I had cloth stor in Addis Abeba, we did the same. It's very, very sad, also they are practicing the Berlin conference 1884-85 scramble for Africa, they are dividing Ethiopia in pieces by just language differences, in the social media it's a battle field Ethiopians & Eritreans are fighting non-stop, it's heartbreaking the Horn of Africa mental colonization is beyond believe...

Dukunu or Dokoonu? In Jamaica we call it Dukunu made by grated bananas, sugar, flour and spices. We have come from a far way.
Today is the day that my Dad passed in 2006. Funny that I would come across this video today. I jokingly told my Dad years before he had taken ill - that I was going to try dating White. His response was, “let me put the air out your tires right now. I can’t get comfortable to bring one home let alone sleep with one. I do not want any one White to benefit directly or indirectly from any thing I have worked for - I will leave my things to a cat or a dog first.’’ My response was well I was joking🤷🏽♀️. He said, “ Well I am not.” He meant every word of that. Welp everytime a White man approaches me I can’t get past my Dad’s words. I am like no thank you… I have actually been feeling a call to move to Africa.

I like when he mention why the people in Africa has not move forward. The so called African leaders are married to the colonizer. This is the first time I ever heard of this brother. When he speaks, I immediately miss Nigeria. I want to give thanks to this channel for introducing this man to the people that did not know about him. It is rare to see a melanated man that genuinely stick to our roots.

I love this Man! I have some Ghanaian ancestry through the Ashanti/Akan tribes. Although most of my fathers ancestry is Igbo, he does have a big chunk of ancestry in Ghana!❤ I agree with his ideas. We have been brainwashed to see ourselves as Americans instead of a separate distinct people who are allowed our own loyalties and identity as African people in america!
Part 2 that is not even a question we need a whole digital curriculum 🤣. Great interview A beautiful synthesis of everything i’ve been learning over the last 6 years. Thank you for providing such insights and comical put accurate analysis on the powers that be. Giving thanks. Wholeness 🙏🏿
this what happens when one of the Elders indigenous black American comes back to in country in Africa he created his tribe, learn a adapt to the short comings of the country and is prospering with peace . Now when you come to America you don't show that respect and you try to align with the Colonizer and thats where the problem starts. Glad this brother found his peace and self sustain himself and tribe. the real question is Why hasn't Africans paid this man to teach the other tribes how to work together. But when them asian and Indian British come over your all the disrespect and you treat them better. Then the True Elders be lucky he adopted the pan africanism into his life.

Nobody is saying you have to have Hate in Your heart, but if you live in the jungle and you know the nature of the Lion that roams in it, would you not build a fence to protect yourself and your livestock??? Give the lion his space and his territory and Safeguard your own space and territory . . .but we don't do that! Instead, we're like idiots with a ball of string playing with the lion as though it's a kitty cat! This is such a powerful and well done interview.

Any African who has "problem with Ubuntu" does have the problem with himself. Ubuntu was never 'designed' with the invading pale demons in mind: Ubuntu has NOTHING to do with invading pale demons. Absolutely NOTHING! Ubuntu is of Africans and FOR African Family/Clan! Ubuntu essentially means 'I am because you are'. This means that Ubuntu IS essentially a natural Family/Clan concept; because only the Family/Clan contributes to one's existence, contributes to one's conception, birth, and maturation! Ubuntu IS NOT an international concept. To suggest that Ubuntu is about embracing 'foreigners' is to not know Ubuntu.

Great interview! I looked for this video to comment on Abibitumitv but could not find it. Therefore, I am commenting here. I agree with Kambon about the wrong food people fill themselves with nowadays. However, it would have been interesting to hear his take on what is the correct diet, especially on meat. Our ancestors certainly ate it (Many were hunters). And today, many people experience tremendous health benefits by living a carnivore lifestyle (ie. eating exclusively meat).
I’d love to meet him and EVERYTHING!
My good doctor, put this on the abibimitumi calendar. Start a program to teach African language to the diaspora. It easy to colonize the man, when he has to think in your language. That's how to bring about change. I can go online & find programs in Chinese, Spanish etc. I may be wrong, but I've not seen one for Twi, Yoruba, Eveh etc.
I believe knowing the truth
He's right
