How come nobody has noticed? The markings on the Ishango bone perfectly model a sieve for the prime numbers. It is observed (for n greater than 3) that the middle column M of the bone eliminates from the sequence n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, numbers composed of "copies" of others, leaving behind prime numbers only. See the complete paper: https://osf.io/preprints/africarxiv/6z2yr/
[☆N.B. A "sieve" in mathematics is an algorithm or process for picking out prime numbers from the procession of natural numbers].

Nigeria grows 63 million metric tons of cassava (also known as yuca or manioc) every year, but most of the country's supply is eaten locally as fufu or garri. Experts say Nigeria could be missing out on billions in exports of lucrative cassava products like bubble tea pearls, starch, or ethanol. Challenges along the country's entire supply chain have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in cassava spoilage. But one entrepreneur, Yemisi Iranloye, thinks she has the solution. She's introduced higher-yielding seed varieties and moved processing plants closer to farms. Now, her farmers earn four times more for their product, and her cassava starch and sorbitol have landed her clients like Nestle and Unilever. Could Yemisi's model be the way for Nigeria to feed itself and cash in on exports?

Lucy, the discovery of this 3.2 million-year-old fossil skeleton was such a monumental
breakthrough and what it meant for our understanding of human evolution.
In 1974, a team of researchers led by the renowned paleoanthropologist Dr.
Donald Johanson made a groundbreaking find in the Afar region of Hadar,
Ethiopia. They unearthed an almost complete fossil skeleton belonging to an early
human ancestor of our species, whom they affectionately named Lucy after the
Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

The oldest known religion in Ethiopia is a traditional belief system called "Ethiopian
Traditional Religion" or "Ethiopian indigenous faith." This religious practice
predates the arrival of Christianity and Islam in the region by thousands of years. It encompasses a wide
range of spiritual beliefs and practices that have been passed down through
generations and are deeply rooted in Ethiopian culture and heritage.
Ethiopian Religion is characterized by its strong connection to nature,
ancestral worship, and the belief in supernatural forces and spirits. It incorporates
elements of animism, where various aspects of the natural world, such as rivers,
mountains, and trees, are considered to possess spiritual essence and are revered
accordingly.
The practice of Ethiopian Traditional Religion involves rituals, ceremonies, and
offerings to appease and seek blessings from ancestral spirits and deities. These
rituals often take place in sacred sites, such as forests, mountains, or ancient
stone structures known as "mazgabas."

The Aksumite religion, also known as the Aksumite Polytheism, refers to the
religious practices and beliefs of the Aksumite Empire, an ancient kingdom located
in present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea.
The primary deity of the Aksumite religion was the god Mahrem, also known as
Astar, who was considered the supreme god and the protector of the Aksumite
kingdom. Mahrem was associated with the sky, rain, and fertility. The Aksumite
kings, who held significant religious and political authority, were believed to be
direct descendants of Mahrem, solidifying their divine status and legitimacy.
In addition to Mahrem, the Aksumite pantheon included other gods and

goddesses, such as Astar, Beher, Meder, and Waraqa. Each deity had specific
domains and was worshipped for various purposes, including fertility, protection,
agriculture, and prosperity.
The Aksumites also practiced ancestor worship, believing that deceased ancestors
played a role in the spiritual well-being and guidance of the living. They would
honor and venerate their ancestors through rituals and offerings, seeking their
blessings and assistance.
The Aksumite religion was closely intertwined with the political and cultural
aspects of the empire. Temples and religious structures, such as the famous
Stelae of Aksum, were erected to honor the gods and commemorate the rulers.
Ritual ceremonies, sacrifices, and festivals were held to celebrate important
events, agricultural cycles, and religious observances.
With the spread of Christianity in the 4th century CE, the Aksumite religion began
to decline. Christianity eventually became the dominant religion in the region and
played a significant role in shaping Ethiopian culture and identity.
Today, remnants of the Aksumite religion can still be found in Ethiopian Orthodox
Christianity, which incorporates some elements and practices from the ancient
Aksumite belief system. However, the original Aksumite religion, as a distinct and
separate faith, ceased to exist as Christianity took root in the region. And by the 7th and 8th centuries, Islam would take over as the dominant religion of Africa. Which continues today.

The history of Africa begins with the emergence of hominids, archaic humans and — around 300,000–250,000 years ago — anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens), in East Africa, and continues unbroken into the present as a patchwork of diverse and politically developing nation states. The earliest known recorded history arose in Ancient Egypt, and later in Nubia, the Sahel, the Maghreb, and the Horn of Africa.
Following the desertification of the Sahara, North African history became entwined with the Middle East and Southern Europe while the Bantu expansion swept from modern day Cameroon (Central West Africa) across much of the sub-Saharan continent in waves between around 1000 BC and 1 AD, creating a linguistic commonality across much of the central and Southern continent.

#africa #philosophy #knowledgehow African traditional religions and philosophies differ from Western ones.Africa is a continent with rich and diverse cultures. It has a diverse range of religions and philosophies. Some of these religions and philosophies are different from Western ones. Below are some of the key differences between African and Western religions and philosophies.What makes a philosophy African? The first thing to know is that more than three decades of debate ended with the affirmation that African philosophy does exist.------------- Chapters -----------------0:00 - How African traditional religions and philosophies differ from Western ones0:25 - What makes a philosophy African?01:04 - African Philosophy as an Extension of Western Philosophy02:37 - African Philosophy as an Independent System of Thought 03:44 - On God 05:53 - On Human Nature06:23 - On African Traditional Religions09:04 - Ancestors and their role in religion11:44 - ConclusionThe debate on the status of African philosophy has been a long-standing one. On the one hand, some have argued that African philosophy does not exist and that it is a contradiction in terms. On the other hand, others have argued that African philosophy is merely an extension of Western philosophy. For them, Africa has yet to produce a philosophical tradition of its own.African Philosophy as an Extension of Western PhilosophyIn this line of thought, African philosophers are seen as mere followers or imitators of Western philosophers. There are no genuine African philosophical traditions. Because Africa has never had an indigenous system of thought, with its own originality and creativity. It is argued that the very notion of “African philosophy” is problematic. Because it implies that there exists such a thing as “Western philosophy” and “non-Western philosophy”. where “Western” refers to European or some other non-African concepts and ideas, which are assumed to be universal. And “non-Western” refers to any concept or idea that is not Western.It is also argued that there are no non-Western philosophers. Because every philosopher is necessarily a Westerner. This is because whatever a philosopher may say, he says it from within the framework of a particular culture and tradition. And this framework remains Western. It is argued that there can be no philosophy outside the West because the very notion of philosophy requires the existence of a rational or logical system of thought based on the principle of non-contradiction. This principle is said to have been formulated by Aristotle in his Metaphysics. Hence, it follows that any philosopher who does not accept this principle as valid cannot be a genuine philosopher.African Philosophy as an Independent System of Thought with its Own Originality and CreativityIn this line of thought, African philosophy exists because Africa has always had its own indigenous philosophical traditions which are unique to Africa. These traditions have been the product of African creativity and are not the result of any influences from outside. In this regard, African philosophy may be said to be an independent system of thought with its own originality and creativity.This view is based on what is called “the principle of historical particularism”. The principle states that a philosophical system cannot be judged in isolation. For example from its cultural and historical context. In other words, a philosopher’s ideas cannot be separated from his cultural background or social environment. Hence, it follows that African philosophy cannot be understood apart from its specific historical, cultural, and social context.It is argued that the concept of God as Creator does not exist in traditional African thought. That it was borrowed from Christianity by some European scholars who misinterpreted African traditional beliefs about God or gods as monotheistic beliefs in one universal God who created the world ex nihilo (out of nothing). The same holds true for the concept of human nature as “ rational”, which is said to be an idea borrowed from the European Enlightenment.These ideas were then used to argue that Africans have no philosophy in their own right. The truth is that Africans do have a concept of God as Creator, but it is different from the concept of God as Creator of the Christian tradition. And Africans do not consider humans to be “rational”, but they do recognize that humans can think and reason.

In todays episode I share my shocking experience of my wild adventure in Orania, South Africa's infamous whites-only settlement!
As a black woman from Ethiopia, stepping into this community was like entering a whole new world.
In "Inside South Africa's Whites-Only Separatist Town: My Shocking Experience!", I spill all the tea on what went down during my trip.
Now, Orania might seem like a closed-off, mysterious place from the outside, but trust me, what went down inside will blow your mind.
Join me as I navigate the streets of Orania, meeting residents and uncovering the truths that define life in this secluded town.
Leaving Orania left me with more questions than answers. What's the deal with this place? Can we ever move past the mess of apartheid?

GET OUT!

Paabi was deported from Libya during his second attempt to reach Europe illegally. Back in his home country Gambia, he’s trying to use a 1,000 Euro reintegration loan to build a new life for himself. But things aren’t going well.

As difficult as his situation in Gambia is, 23-year-old Paabi never wants to have to make the dangerous journey to Europe again. But the pressure on him here at home is immense. He wants to set up a business with the money he received from the International Organization for Migration to help him return home. But the start-up capital is soon spent on clothes and distributed to friends and family. His attempt to earn money on the timber market fails. At the same time, his father expects financial support for the extended family. Paabi therefore soon sees only one option: to attempt the potentially fatal journey to Europe a third time.

In Chapter 2 of Walter Rodney's seminal work, "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa," Rodney meticulously outlines the deliberate mechanisms and structures established by European powers to facilitate their own development at the direct expense of Nsi ya Ubuntu (Africa). He argues that colonialism was not a passive process but an active exploitation where European nations systematically dismantled Nsi ya Ubuntu's economic and social structures. This exploitation involved the extraction of resources, the imposition of cash crop economies, and the disruption of indigenous industries and trade networks, all designed to enrich Europe while creating a dependency and underdevelopment in Nsi ya Ubuntu. Rodney emphasizes that these actions were intentional, illustrating a clear and direct correlation between Europe's advancement and Nsi ya Ubuntu's impoverishment.
