⁣Abstract: Is it possible to use endogenous Afrikan cosmological, philosophical, theoretical, and conceptual frameworks to analyze indigenous Afrikan phenomena? Why should one even try? In this presentation, it is argued that such analyses are not only possible and plausible, but they are imperative. It is further argued that just such frameworks can add insight to our understanding of the structure of Akan Ananse and Yorùbá Ìjàpá stories and the shared Afrikan worldview from which they arise. According to Fu-Kiau, "nothing exists that does not follow the steps of the cyclical Kongo cosmogram " (Fu-Kiau 1994: 26). This bold hypothesis is tested in this study by applying Dikènga, the cosmogram of the Bakôngo, to an oral (and/or written) literary analysis of the structure of Akan and Yorùbá stories. This application is what we term the "Dikènga theory of literary analysis." We find that this theoretical framework can help us shift away from concepts of "storylines" and "timelines" to reveal the patterned and cyclical nature of material and immaterial phenomena and to deepen our understanding of these stories as manifestations of a shared African worldview. As such, the aim of this presentation is to highlight parallels between Akan Ananse Stories and Yorùbá Ìjàpá tales. Further, connections are made with regard to function and content of Akan and Yorùbá stories using Dikènga, the cosmogram of the Bakôngo, as a tool for oral literary analysis revealing intertextual parallels (Ọ Kambon, 2017). We highlight six (6) sets of stories common to both Akan and Yorùbá people differentiated primarily by the main character being the spider or the tortoise, respectively. Furthermore, we show how the stages of transformation of any story can be gainfully analysed using the proposed Dikènga theory of literary analysis.

⁣"Africans Sold Africans into Slavery" and Other Fairy Tales that Keep 'white' People Safe Live Presentation – April 26, 2025 @ 7:00 PM GMT Online via Abibitumi Platform Cut through the lies. Rebuild the truth. This isn’t just a presentation—it’s a precise dismantling of the deliberately crafted myth that “Africans sold Africans into slavery.” A myth designed to protect ‘white’ people from retribution, obscure historical fact, and divide Black people through confusion and misdirection so that we stay in the fragment vs. fragment state that got us in this situation in the first place. Join Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Kambon for a rigorous, documented, and unapologetic exposé that reframes the conversation using primary sources, linguistic insight, historical documentation, and cultural logic. What You’ll Learn: Why the phrase “Africans sold Africans” is historically false and anachronistic—no one called themselves “African” at the time, and even the name Africa is a Latin exonym, not an indigenous term (The Latin suffix -ica (as in Africa, America, Corsica, Antarctica) attests to the foreignness of the word) How the transatlantic Maangamizi began in 1441 with direct raids and kidnappings by "whites"—not buying and selling Why resistance sites like Gwollu, Nzulenzu, and Ganvié give material proof that people who didn't see themselves as "Africans" were building to defend themselves against "white" kidnappers and others who didn't see themselves as "Africans" The full extent of "white" involvement: raiders, financiers, sellers, insurers, shipbuilders, religious justifiers, legal architects, arms suppliers, and more - If one can't return home because "Africans" sold them, how can they stay in places like amerikkka where "whites" sold them, bought them, developed religious and pseudoscientific justifications, lynched them, and committed and continue to commit every other imaginable atrocity? Why the narrative persists: because it keeps ‘white’ people safe from retribution, while encouraging Abibifoɔ 'Black People' to turn on each other -- just as we did during internecine kidnapping and raiding Registration Includes: Live access to the presentation on April 26, 2025 @ 7:00 PM GMT Private access link via Abibitumi Live Q&A session with Professor Ọbádélé Kambon Ability to connect with others serious about Abibifahodie (Black Liberation) This is not a sanitized history lesson.

Short Description:
🔥 43-minute exclusive video from ASCAC 2025 unveiling the classical origins of Black Power “Pan-Afrikanism” rooted in the ancient Black nation of Kmt.

Full Product Description:
Unlock exclusive access to “The Construction of Black Civilization: Volume I”, a powerful presentation by Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon, delivered at the 41st ASCAC Conference on May 3, 2025, at 11:45am Eastern.
This 43-minute, 45-second video challenges the mainstream framing of sxm km ‘Black Power’ Pan-Afrikanism as a modern invention. Instead, it reveals its deep classical roots in the civilization of Kmt ‘The Black Nation’, as documented by the Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’ themselves.
Using historical linguistics and comparative textual analysis, this presentation examines:


Self-identification as Black by the Kmt(yw) in primary texts


Strategic collaboration and mutual defense among Black nations


Military and ideological resistance against non-Black aAmw ‘eurasians’


The Dikènga Theory as a framework for understanding cyclical Black consciousness and power


Core texts include:


The Autobiography of imAxw Weni


The Prophecy of imAxw Neferti


The Two Stelae of sA Ra Kamose


Through this study, Ɔbenfo Kambon shows that classical Kmt(yw) affirmed and protected their identity as Black people, extended Abibifahodie-based unity with other Black nations, and defended Kmt as the operational center of Black Liberation, not as an abstract idea, but as a lived commitment to the integrity of Black land, thought, and people.
This research is not just historical—it is a Blackprint for action. It offers guidance for contemporary Black movements to reclaim sxm km ‘Black Power’ across every area of human activity, in alignment with Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’ and the enduring legacy of the Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’ of classical times.
