In ancient Africa religion, the concept of the divine spark, or ba and ka, represented the individual's spiritual essence and their potential for attaining a higher state of consciousness. According to this belief, each person was born with a spark of divine energy that was a part of the universal life force, but this spark has to be awakened and cultivated in order to reach its full potential. But there is more.
For example, in the Yoruba religion of Nigeria, the concept of "Ase" refers to the divine life force or power that animates all living things.
In the Akan religion of Ghana, the concept of "Sunsum" refers to the individual's spiritual essence or soul that is believed to have been created by the supreme being
, the divine spark is understood as an innate aspect of a person's being that is present from birth.

Chi is a person’s spirit. It is a personal life force or, a person's providence, or a portioned-out life principle.
Chukwu created the world, then he put the creative spirit in the man known as his Chi to decide the course of his life.
Chinua Achebe writes, "A man does not only have his own chi but is created by it and no two people, not even blood brothers, it seems, are created by the same chi."
But how do You know you have connected with or have awakened the divine and your life is now accessing deeper aspects of the self, an enlightened Hueman can experience? Even if you think you have greater inner peace, understanding, and fulfillment what guarantees must give certitude of success? The answer is found in the practice taught in this video/.

Off the grid living in Afrika is a big step in Black=Afrikan liberation and powerful. It's important to control your water, power, and medicine.

Marcus Garvey is credited with coining the phrase “Black is beautiful.” During the 1920s the Pan Africanist leader adopted the term. Garvey encouraged Black women to embrace their natural hair and features. He said, “Don’t remove kinks from your hair. Remove them from your brain.” He believed that attempting to follow white Eurocentric standards of beauty denigrated the beauty of Black women. The concept of Black being beautiful waned and almost died after Garvey was deported and then with his death.
The Black is Beautiful movement was a powerful cultural and social movement that reemerged during the 1960s and 1970s. The term “Black is Beautiful,” usually evokes memories and/visions that might fill your head full of afros, blaxploitation films, Black empowerment, civil rights movements, and black fists held in the air. In 1962, a photographer, a group of models and a fashion show in Harlem would kick-start a cultural and political movement.
In late January 1962, a group of artists known as the African Jazz-Art Society & Studios staged a fashion show in Harlem that would change American culture forever.

7 Impressive Benefits of Baobab

A few of the most important health benefits of baobab include its ability to boost the immune system, build bone strength, soothe the gastrointestinal system, prevent chronic disease, lower inflammation, reduce blood pressure, and stimulate growth and repair.

Baobab Trees

Some of the oldest and most majestic trees in the world fall into a very special genus named Adansonia, more commonly known as baobab trees. While there are nine different species of these trees scattered across Madagascar, Africa, Australia, and other parts of South Asia, they are all closely related and share very similar characteristics. They are massive angiosperm trees, with radii exceeding 150 feet and at times, standing more than 50 feet in height. The baobab fruit, however, often gets less attention than it should, as this fruit has been considered a superfruit by some cultures for generations. The popularity of baobab fruit and its constituent powder has grown in recent years, due to the high concentrations of nutrients and minerals that it contains.

The baobab powder may be consumed as a supplement, but is also used as a thickener in certain culinary preparations, while the leaves, which are also quite nutrient-rich, are considered a leafy vegetable and are sometimes harvested for their essential oils. Baobab fruit is roughly 3 lbs and resembled a coconut, with a tart taste. This has made it popular as a natural food product for thousands of years. That being said, let’s take a closer look at some of the many known medical uses and health benefits of baobab.
Health Benefits of Baobab
Improves Circulatory Health

One of the reasons baobab has been dubbed a superfruit is due to its concentration of certain minerals, including iron. This mineral is a key component in hemoglobin, which transports oxygenated blood throughout our body. This can prevent anemia and provide us with a major energy boost, so baobab fruit in any form can be enjoyed for a quick pick me up!
Lowers Blood Pressure

Potassium is another important mineral constituent of baobab fruit, which is known to be beneficial for heart health. As a vasodilator, potassium is able to ease the strain on the cardiovascular system by dilating the blood vessels and arteries, thus increasing blood flow and keeping the heart from working too hard. Lowering blood pressure can also help fight against atherosclerosis, strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular complications.

Increases Bone Strength

The dried powder of baobab fruit is particularly concentrated with minerals, and two of these, calcium and magnesium, are important minerals for bone strength. If you are worried about bone mineral density loss as you age, or are already suffering from some of the effects of age-related degradation, adding a baobab supplement to your health regimen is never a bad idea to keep your bones strong and durable into your old age!
Relieves Gastrointestinal Issues

Two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble, are present in baobab, which is why this fruit has been trusted as a gastrointestinal aid for generations. These types of dietary fiber can do wonders for the system; in addition to optimizing the digestive process and reducing inflammation in the gut, dietary fiber also helps to regulate glucose and insulin levels in the blood, and even lowers negative cholesterol, thus boosting heart health! There are also certain prebiotic properties of baobab fruit that can improve the bacteria levels in your gut and optimize digestion.
Treats Chronic Diseases

Antioxidants have been a recent buzzword in natural health, and baobab fruit is packed with these free radical-neutralizing compounds. Antioxidant levels can be measured based on the amount of oxygen radicals a fruit or food is able to absorb, and baobab does very well in an ORAC test (measuring antioxidant strength). This means that baobab is able to help prevent a wide range of chronic diseases, including some forms of cancer that develop when free radicals cause healthy cells to mutate.
Boosts Immunity

Vitamin C is always one of the first compounds noted in a newly discovered fruit, and the immune system-boosting potential of this ancient fruit is definitely a result of the high ascorbic content. Baobab is good for increasing white blood cell count and stimulating the immune system to fight off foreign pathogens, in addition to vitamin C’s antioxidant behavior.

Promotes Growth and Repair

Vitamin C is also a key component of collagen, which we need for the repair and growth of tissues, cells, blood vessels, cartilage, and bone. High levels of ascorbic acid don’t just protect our immune system, but also ensure normal development and appropriate healing times after injuries, illnesses, and surgeries.

A family of porcupines fighting a leopard in an attempt to save their two young. Who will emerge victorious? Mfundo Nyambi, a 31-year-old field guide in the Kruger National Park, was fortunate enough to witness this entire sighting on foot.

“As a guide in the Kruger National Park, I have had the privilege of witnessing some incredible wildlife sightings over the years. However, one particular experience stands out. I was preparing to take a group of guests on a bush walk. We had just left Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp when one of my guests informed me of a leopard that had been seen in the area earlier that morning. With a slight bit of anticipation, we headed in that direction.”

“After searching for a short while. We decided it was best to leave the leopard and instead prepare for our morning walk. I stopped the vehicle on the roadside and informed the guests that it was safe for them to disembark from the vehicle. Whilst I was conducting the pre-trail brief on the safety and procedures of the walk, a deep sound echoed from the culvert that was a few meters from us.”

“On the road in front of me, a porcupine mother emerged from the culvert with two youngsters. They were shortly followed by the male porcupine. Then a leopard! The same leopard we had been searching for that morning had now found us and was in the middle of a hunt. I hurried my guest to the safety of the vehicle and watched on in awe.”

Porcupines are typically mute creatures and are not frequently observed vocalizing. The deep grunt that was audible was a definite warning of danger and a sign that the porcupines were under the stress of some kind.

“At first, I thought the leopard would quickly overpower the porcupines. As I watched the scene unfold, I was in awe of their determination and bravery. The porcupine couple worked together, using their sharp quills as a weapon against the leopard. The leopard tried to pounce, but each time it did, the porcupines would turn their backs and raise their quills. Successfully deterring the leopard from attacking.”

“The parents made sure that the two youngsters were always in the middle and out of reach of the leopard. After a few minutes, the leopard eventually gave up and retreated into the bush. The porcupine family was able to continue on their way, safe and unharmed.”

Moments like these serve as a reminder that we share this beautiful land with a diverse and fascinating array of wildlife. It’s up to us to protect and preserve it for future generations.

Chocolate: A Taste of Independence in Togo Filmmaker: Fanny BouteillerAfrica is rich with natural resources, yet all too often the benefits of that abundance end up with overseas consumers, foreign investors and the international markets.This is often seen as the consequence of a post-colonial globalised economy, in which the rich somehow keep getting richer and the poorest, denied the full fruits of their labours, are kept in penury.It is also a state of affairs with which many on the continent are understandably deeply unhappy. They want more than the scraps the developed world leaves on the table.In Togo, West Africa, one such struggle now comes covered in chocolate.Over 60 percent of the population of Togo lives in poverty, with its cacao growers - producers of one of the country's main cash crops - helpless in the face of prices set by international buyers.But one man is advocating a new future for his country, through indigenous chocolate production."When we launched the plan of manufacturing chocolate, lots of people did not believe us. Most made fun of us. People said we were mad."Trained in Italy, Komi Agbokou is a chocolatier, activist and, increasingly, an anti-globalisation evangelist.He has recently returned to Togo with one mission: to incite his fellow citizens to turn their cacao into chocolate themselves rather than being forever exploited by the international market.Komi explains that current cacao prices are decided by "those who transform cocoa", forcing local farmers to sell their produce for prices over which they have no control.On a 600km (373-mile) trip from North to South Togo, Komi set out to change attitudes, teaching his countrymen to maximise their produce's worth for their own benefit.--- Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/

El Ciclo de Conferencias de Estudios africanos y de la Diáspora Africana [CEADA] invitan a la conferencia “Los grandes retos que debe resolver el pueblo Afrocolombiano” presentada por José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.



Al estudiar las causas de la problemática de los Afrocolombianos, encontramos que básicamente está determinada por una dinámica que ha prevalecido en la sociedad colombiana, desde la colonia hasta nuestros días, mediante la cual, producen capital para otros y no les permite producir capital para sí mismos, manteniendo a estas comunidades en un proceso de descapitalización permanente y en los límites de la marginalidad social. Lo que preocupa no solo es la pobreza marginal del pueblo afrocolombiano, y la discriminación a que son sometidas sus gentes, la cual no sólo se manifiesta en actitudes de las mayorías de las otras etnias o grupos sociales blanco - mestizos colombianos, sino, además en las escasas y restringidas posibilidades ofrecidas tanto por el Estado, como por la empresa privada; esto aun cuando han pasado más de dos siglos de ruptura con la colonia y de nacimiento de la República.

De manera documentada, desde la trata de personas y su esclavización hasta la colonia, desde las campañas independentistas hasta la formación de la República, desde los albores de la República hasta la situación contemporánea del estado colombiano. José Eulicer se embarca en un diagnóstico y nos cuenta sobre los grandes desafíos que debe resolver el pueblo afrocolombiano.

José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería, es un docente-investigador en las áreas de ciencias sociales, economía y filosofía, con más de 30 años de experiencia, con entidades estatales, privadas y ONGs. Es director del Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Sociales Afrocolombianas, CEISAFROCOL, desde 1988. Ha realizado estudios universitarios en economía, educación para la interculturalidad, ciencias Sociales y Filosofía en Colombia, Rusia y España (Escuela de Economía de Moscú, Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Universidad de la Sabana, Bogotá, Universidad Complutense de Madrid). Ha publicado 23 libros y folletos y más de un centenar de artículos, entrevistas y conferencias en periódicos, revistas, la Internet, radio y televisión. Nació en Andagoya, Chocó, Colombia y actualmente es Candidato al Congreso de la República.

“The great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve” presented by José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.
When studying the causes of Afro-Colombians' problem(s), we find that it is basically determined by a dynamic that has prevailed in Colombian society, from the colony to the present, through which they produce capital for others but do not allow them to produce capital for themselves, keeping these communities in a process of permanent decapitalization and the limits of social marginalization. What is worrying is not only the extreme poverty of Afro-Colombians and the discrimination to which their peoples are subjected, which is not only manifested in the attitudes of other ethnic groups or social groups such as whites and mestizos but also the scarce and restricted possibilities offered by both the State and the private sector; even when more than two centuries have passed since the break-up with the Spanish Empire and the birth of the Republic.
Documenting, from the trafficking of persons and enslavement to the colony, from the independence campaigns to the formation of the Republic, from the dawn of the Republic to the contemporary situation of the Colombian state. José Eulicer embarks on a diagnosis and tells us about the great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve.



José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería is an educator-researcher in social sciences, economics, and philosophy, with more than 30 years of experience, with state and private entities and NGOs.

He has published 23 books and brochures and more than a hundred articles, interviews, and lectures in newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radio, and television.

We live in a period where Western materialism tries to impose a relativism of moral values.

In face of this permanent threat of the destruction of our traditional moral values, it's time for us to demonstrate and affirm the scientific foundation of our traditional ethics.

This demonstration is all more important as amnesia leads many Africans today to see in this ethics only a secular humanistic construction.

The ideas of this video have been inspired by our book titled BUKÔNGO available here:
