In much of the world, national borders have shifted over time to reflect ethnic, linguistic, and sometimes religious divisions. Spain's borders generally enclose the Spanish-speakers of Europe; Italy and Croatia roughly encompass ethnic Italians and Croats. Thailand is exactly what its name suggests, the land of the Thai. Africa is different, its nations largely defined not by its peoples heritage but by European colonialism.

But as the continent becomes more democratic and Africans assert desires for national self-determination, the continent's decision to maintain colonial era borders is a subject of intense debate.

This is a journey form the smallest manmade hole - by removing just one single atom - to the edge of the universe. Man has finally succeeded in making the ancient dream of Greek philosophers come true - to «see» an atom. In another direction we also seem to have unlimited sight: the «Hubble Telescope» grants us a glimpse of the remotest galaxies. This documentary assesses the limits of human perception, taking us on a journey through time from the quasars, millions of light-years away from earth, via the wonders of our populated world to the depths of human genotype and the structure of a single atom. «Limits of Perception» promises a filmic journey of exploration from micro- into macrocosm.

In 2006 Robin Walker published the instant classic "When We Ruled" - The most comprehensive text on Afrikan History we have to date.

This made him among the first a prime candidate for our first Black History Month NOMMO in October 2007:

"In this "Afrikan History Month" special, Nommo are proud to welcome one of the world's leading historians, author of one of the most important books of our time - Bro. Robin Walker. He will guide us on an imperious journey of Afrikan glory - WHEN WE RULED! Studying this sweep of history provides the necessary framework to realise that we can and must rule again."

THE NOMMO SESSIONS

NOMMO is the, monthly interactive session for the Afrikan community, presented by the Alkebu-Lan Revivalist Movement. On the last Friday of every month, you can rap, reason and re-energise with like-minded Sisters and Brothers through film, music and the spoken word in its many forms.

NOMMO can be thought, NOMMO can be played on an instrument, NOMMO can be sung. It is prayer. It is curse. It is incantation! NOMMO is a praise song. NOMMO is our use of the spiritually activating principle. NOMMO is will and intent. NOMMO is consciousness.”

– Marimba Ani, Let The Circle Be

Join us for a very special conversation as we take a deeper look at the nature of African spirituality—not as religion, but as science, worldview, and cultural technology.

Featuring legendary author and teacher Mama Marimba Ani, author of Let the Circle Be Unbroken and Yurugu, we explore the critical role African spiritual systems play in reconnecting people of African descent to their history, identity, and destiny.

This episode is a spiritual call to consciousness in a time of global chaos, cultural displacement, and ancestral reawakening. Why is it important now? And how do we continue to connect to the true Spirit of our African culture.

Ije and Obi spend time with their parents learning all about their Aunty Ada's Igbo Traditional Wedding in the Eastern part of Nigeria!

We look in depth at “The Ransom,” a new series in The New York Times that details how France devastated Haiti’s economy by forcing Haiti to pay massive reparations for the loss of slave labor after enslaved Haitians rebelled, founding the world’s first Black republic in 1804. We speak with historians Westenley Alcenat and Gerald Horne on the story of Haiti’s finances and how Haitian demands for reparations have been repeatedly shut down. Alcenat says the series “exposes the rest of the world to a knowledge that actually has existed for over a hundred years,” and while he welcomes the series, he demands The New York Times apologize for publishing racist Haitian stereotypes in 2010 by columnist David Brooks. Horne also requests The New York Times make the revelatory documents that the series cites accessible to other historians. He says the series will “hopefully cause us to reexamine the history of this country and move away from the propaganda point that somehow the United States was an abolitionist republic when actually it was the foremost slaveholder’s republic.”

⁣Africa needs to regain her pride says eminent Senegalese professor of History, Abdoulaye Bathily. He is not impressed with African leaders rushing collectively to meet one leader of a so-called partner nation. Prof. Abdoulaye Bathily warns that Africa is being taken over militarily by the same people who colonised Africa. He was delivering the annual Thabo Mbeki Africa Day lecture 2024 in South Africa.

From Sticker Shock to Stability in Ghana — Evis’ Repatriation Story

In this candid interview, Evis Williamson of Tennessee (USA) shares his real journey repatriating to Ghana—arriving with limited local knowledge, getting hit with high short-stay costs, and then finding stability, community, and confidence with support from RepatriateToGhana.com.

Highlights from Evis’ experience:

Housing relief: Avoided the common 2–3 years’ rent up-front by securing a place with only one year’s rent, easing the financial burden.

Cost of living down: Moving out of an overpriced situation dramatically reduced day-to-day costs and stress.

Human connection over hype: Working with Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon felt personal and respectful—no “too busy for you” energy—just practical guidance and encouragement.

Confidence restored: Repatriation support gave Evis hope, inspiration, and courage to press forward with his plans.

Community & network: Introductions to fellow repatriates at the W.E.B. Du Bois Center provided answers, camaraderie, and lived wisdom from people who’ve already repatriated and, in many cases, gained citizenship.

Healthcare clarity: A doctor meet-and-greet at a major hospital offered peace of mind about where to go and who to call if health needs arise.

We serve every age and stage. Our community includes elders and young adults alike—from Baba Morgan Moss (81) to Mikal the beekeeper (18)—and everyone in between finding a clear path to successful repatriation.

The horrific atrocities that took place in the Congo Free State are often compared to the Holocaust, with king Leopold II of Belgium being compared to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Between 1885 and 1908, Leopold II personally ruled the Congo, in sub Saharan Africa, which was largely unexplored at this time, as only the coastal areas had been claimed by other European countries. He named it the “Congo Free State,” which is rather ironic when you realise what went on there.
The local population was anything but free.
(1885-1908)
