Sat, 13 Dec 2025 13:42:52 +0100

⁣This is the first episode of The Afrikan Lion Podcast, hosted by Ọnuọra Abuah — filmmaker, educator, and founder of AEA Films.

In this episode, Ọnuọra sits with Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Kambon — founder of Abibitumi, Pan-African scholar, linguist, and cultural theorist — for a wide-ranging conversation on African liberation, language, and the urgent need for African-controlled cinema.

🎬 Important context:
This episode was recorded prior to the Abibitumi Conference and Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival (28–30 November). Due to post-production and editing delays, the episode is being released after the festival’s conclusion. While the festival has now passed, the ideas, philosophy, and cultural mission behind it remain central and ongoing.

🦁 Topics discussed include:
– The role of Afrikan languages in mental and cultural liberation
– The legacy of Afrikan and Afrikan thinkers
– Why Afriakan cinema must be owned and controlled by Africans
– The vision and philosophy behind Abibitumi
– Storytelling as a tool of power and resistance
