Dive into this riveting exploration of Time as we traverse the vibrant African landscape. Through the eyes of Tariro, a young girl deeply entwined in her African roots, we scrutinize the traditional concept of time.

This video unveils how time in Africa isn't merely a set of ticking hands or a digital display but it is akin to a flowing river, shaped by community events and shared experiences.

We will delve into the fascinating works of African philosophers like E.J. Alagoa and Kanu Ikechukwu Anthony, exploring the harmonic interplay of spirituality, environment, and society in the African concepts of time and causality.

The effect of globalization and the advent of Western time values are also discussed, exhibiting how it subtly fuses with the African rhythm, reshaping societal behavior.

Our journey concludes with a vital introspection: Is life trapped within the divisions of time, or is it time that is framed by life and culture its rhythm?

Was this evolution beneficial or has it steered us away from the heartbeat of life?

Discover how time metamorphosizes from a measurer into a storytelling entity of shared experiences and shifts in realities across African landscapes.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 9 | Ft sbA Akinjide Bonotchi Montgomery (Black Power, Mdw Ntr, Restoring Ma'At)
Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento

Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) to another episode of Link Up Podcast, where we connect with Abibifoɔ (Black People) doing Black powerful work across Abibiman (the Black Land) and the diaspora.

In this episode, we Link Up with sbA Akinjide Bonotchi Montgomery, experiencing the Black Power movement in Detroit, seeing the need to learn Mdw Ntr, becoming a long standing Abibitumi instructor. sbA Bonotchi is a straight-shooting warrior scholar who shows the importance of learning Mdw Ntr, and how it is needed towards building Black Power. He takes us through his upbringing in Detroit, the strength and discipline of his mother, the Black nationalist environment of the 1960s and 70s, the Panthers, the Shrine of the Black Madonna, COINTELPRO, and the political consciousness that shaped a generation before it was deliberately crushed.

We discuss his journey to Kemet with Okunini Dr. Ben, learning Mdw Ntr through serious study, becoming a teacher with Abibitumi, and why the language must lead to action rather than empty intellectual collection. sbA Bonotchi shares the practical power of Mdw Ntr, the danger of words like artificial, unnatural, democracy, spirituality, integration, diversity, and why Black people must stop letting others define reality for us. This is a conversation about the work required to think, speak, and act from a perspective of what is real.

* Stay tuned after the conversation for a special animated cartoon episode. *

This is a conversation about raised consciousness becoming raised behavior, Black love as institution, and the work required to bring the whole family Black home.

Getting it done. Self-sufficiency and not waiting for the government to do for us.

The Archaic Humans of West Afrika

The video challenges the idea that modern West Africans primarily descend from ancient West Africans, pointing to the Ogolian hyper-arid period and dominance by archaic humans. Despite the existence of "ghost archaic DNA," modern West Africans trace their ancestry to the Shum Laka culture, not the archaic humans. Recent studies by Arun Durvasula and Sriram Sankararaman suggest introgression by an unidentified archaic hominin, contributing 2 to 19% of present-day Africans' ancestry. Specific genes with high archaic segment frequencies prompt the need for further analysis of modern and ancient African genomes. Despite attempts to misinterpret data for racist agendas, Marc Lipson et al.'s findings indicate modern West Africans derive 2% from archaic humans, 10% from the first Homo Sapien Sapiens in Africa, and 88% from a Hapi River Valley continuum.
