Dr. Okunini Talawa Adodo is a Jamaican Pan-Afrikanist scholar who focuses on Afrikan history, Afrocentric theory, and Afrikan language.
In Part 1 of this insightful reasoning, Dr. Okunini Talawa Adodo explores the theory that the name "Jamaica" may not have originated with the Taíno people, but rather from the Akan language—specifically the phrase Gyamere Yaka, meaning “we are stuck.” Dr. Adodo also challenges the popular belief that Jamaica is simply a country of mixed people, instead offering the perspective that it is a land of diverse African ethnic groups who arrived from different regions of the continent.

A nation cannot rise on the back of ignorance, and Dele Farotimi makes that point with unsettling clarity. Drawing from his book, Imperatives of the Nigeria Revolution, he argues that Nigeria’s leadership has deliberately weaponised ignorance: under-educating the child, mis-educating the people, and engineering a society where the oppressed are conditioned to defend and even worship their oppressors.
According to him, the depth of Nigeria’s moral, political, and educational collapse leaves only one viable option: revolution.

In 1959, TV Producers Mike Wallace and Louis Lomax produced a five part TV special entitled, "The Hate That Hate Produced" about the Nation of Islam. The special introduced millions of Americans to the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, and The Nation of Islam for the first time. Five years later, Malcolm X would leave the organization. In this video, we explore the reasons why.

The story of King Leopold of Belgium’s brutal regime in the Congo Free State, during the late 19th century, is one of the darkest and most important in global history. It is a story of horror - the murky depths of the human soul pushed to its primal limits, European colonialism and the first Scramble for Africa, royalty and politics, celebrity, and modernity. From that pit of depravity, in which the Congolese people endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their dehumanising western drivers, the first human rights campaign was born, and one of the most seminal novels of all time. So, how was it that the Congo, Africa’s as yet unplundered, un-impenetrable, and deeply mysterious core in the late 1870’s, became the private financial reservoir of one ambitious monarch, while Europe looked on? What occurred during the reign of terror he unleashed there, and why? And, who was King Leopold himself, the troubled, cunning and utterly twisted individual behind it all?
Join Dominic and Tom as they lead us - following in the footsteps of Henry Morton Stanley, the explorer who first pierced the shadowy veil of the Congo in Africa’s interior, and let it bleed into the hands of King Leopold himself - deep into the heart of darkness. As the curtain is lifted from the Congo’s formerly obscuring unknowability, her people's grotesque future of abominable exploitation is revealed, along with man’s capacity for evil, and the demonic greed of one man in particular…
