Link Up Podcast — Episode 2 | Featuring Baba Kofi and Mama Abena (The Shakirs)
Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento
* with an Abibitumi 20 year tribute from Ɛna Nkanyezi *
Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) Black to the 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 Baba Kofi and Mama Abena (The Shakir's) — a Blacktacular couple who share their journey from life in the snakkkes to repatriating home to Ghana. Their story moves through family, community, raised consciousness, the Marcus Garvey influence, Nation of Islam experiences, travel across the Black Land, and the deeper process of (the 4 R's) relocating, repatriating, reclaiming Blackness, and recovering from life inside the “snakkkes”.
This is a conversation about more than moving. It is about coming home, building family infrastructure, recovering humanity, and demonstrating over conversation.
Feel free to share your thoughts, and Link Up!

African Cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo (Fu-Kiau) Chp 3 #wearereading African Philosophy.
Fu-Kiau Bunseki, Ph.D. is one of the great scholars of the African religion, and the leading authority on the Bantu-Kongo civilization. He is also a genuine practitioner of the Kongo spiritual tradition. He is initiated into the three "secret societies" Lemba, Khimba and Kimpasi. Lemba is the foundation for several African based religious practices including Palo Mayombe (Cuba), Vodou Petro (Haiti) and Candomble Angola (Brasil). African cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo explores the Bantu-Kongo religious and philosophical teachings, as well as concepts of law and crime. It connects the reader with one of the most ancient and powerful spiritual traditions-explore "seven-direction walk" of our origin and links to society, nature and the universe.

In this episode of Truth Africa Series (brought to you by Historical Africa), we will be reacting to Dr. Henrik Clarke speech on religion in Africa.
The colonization of Africa was not just about political control; it also aimed to reshape African societies in the image of the colonizers.
One way this happened was through religious imposition. European powers, driven by a belief in their cultural and religious
superiority, sought to convert Africans to Christianity, often suppressing indigenous religions in the process. This cultural assimilation
served to consolidate control and legitimize colonial rule.
Religion has often been an instrument used to maintain power and control over populations. In the context of Africa, religion
was used as a tool to justify economic exploitation and the subjugation of Africans. Missionaries preached the superiority of
European Christianity, portraying African religions as primitive or demonic, and using this narrative to justify colonization and the
extraction of Africa's resources.
The conversion of Africans to foreign religions was also strategic for maintaining political and social control. By imposing their
religions, colonizers sought to weaken traditional societal structures, including indigenous spiritual practices, which often played a
significant role in governance and cultural identity. Conversion to foreign religions served to alienate Africans from their traditional
roots, making them more submissive to colonial authority.

"By now it is clear, KRS-One is indeed THE GREATEST RAPPER/EMCEE OF ALL TIME! 22 dope albums over a 35-year period? No rapper/emcee has ever reached this legitimate level of excellence and skill. NO ONE! Already proclaimed “a classic”, KRS-One returns with his 23rd album project Between Da Protests which balances revolutionary themes with raw street-poetry over what KRS-One calls “boom-bap beats”. With songs like “Don’t Fall For It”, “Black Black Black”, “Free (The Book Song)” and “Boom Bye Bye”, KRS-One addresses the concerns of average people, working people, thinking people. And while the revolutionary-minded will find much in Between Da Protests to be excited about, it is songs like “Opening Remarks”, “Tight” and “Medu Neter” that remind us just how dope KRS-One actually is on the mic (in studio or live). Between Da Protests—another authentic Hip Hop album project by KRS-One. “Turn The Volume Up”.

Repatriate to Ghana (or somewhere): “Anywhere is better than there.” In this real-time walk-and-talk, we take you through Abibitumi Headquarters, the surrounding land, and the practical mindset of building a life back home — land, community, culture, food, solar power, and forward motion.
You’ll see:
• A land walk-through (boundaries, farmers on the land, leveling plans, and how we handle compensation with courtesy)
• A tour of Abibitumi Headquarters (solar carport, Ghana-made craftsmanship, gardens, and the Grandestor Garden)
• What “building with intention” looks like — from local materials (stone/wood) to architecture rooted in worldview and symbolism
• Conversations on miseducation, decolonizing the mind, and why we must become a people of doers, not just sayers
Akwaaba. You’re coming home.
