0:00 because you are weak until you have strong sense of history as an African. >> You know, it's very funny that African history seems to start from 1400s. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Slanian colonization then we come to Ghana independence 1957. You cannot fight the systems that these guys have push us through. >> There are a lot of things that because of politics. >> Mhm. >> They had to cover it. >> What is the first lie we are taught when we go to school in Ghana? 1 + 1 is 2. 1 + 1 is not two. Me plus my wife is four. >> It's like everything has been turned backwards. >> Yes. Exactly. That's how history has been. It's what is the reason why we are now at the bottom. >> Yeah. >> Every culture's God resembles them. >> Mhm. Except Africa. >> Well, it used to.
0:45 >> It doesn't anymore. >> Yeah. >> That is it. So they believe in God, no problem. But they believe in God should make you productive. because from my knowledge, our ancestors taught the Greeks everything they know.

As usual, your charming and ever so cute guide on the journey to sharpen your most powerful tool is here. My name is Richie Mensah and here we help build your mind. You know, it's very funny that African history seems to start from 1400s. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Amina slavery and colonization. Then we come to Ghana independence 1957. You cannot fight the systems that these guys have push us through with that kind of knowledge, >> you know. So I would go into the the the kingdoms, the dynasties, the empires that the Africans built themselves without anybody's intrusion, whether from the Arabs or the Europeans. Once
2:16 you correct that, >> you start to see yourself as a full human being. And you can see the indications when you start to talk differently >> as an African. You start to talk positively, optimistically, you know, that's it. The fear comes down. You start to see Africans and you believe in them. You see African name and African culture and you're proud of it. And you see other civilization civilizations as not more powerful than us. >> Yeah. >> And in different stages, you know. And somebody said that until a human being >> understands their culture and their history, they have not started to live. >> Yeah. >> And I so believe it because that did the trick for me. >> After all this kind of a school, I started to study the history. Then I started to believe that yes, I can become become successful in our land. It's just a matter of time and knowing what to do. And so the history, the
3:02 consciousness is something that I dare say over 90% of our people don't have it. No matter their position, >> yeah, >> no matter the education, no matter even their business or financial success because when you engage them, many of them become that bit negative, >> paranoid towards us. >> Yeah. >> That's why they will easily tell the young man that there's no opportunity in Ghana, just move to another country where when you are in the plane, you see everybody trying to come here. Why do they know that? We don't know. >> So that's that's the same way that I chose the history thing. And one thing too I discovered when I started the history thing, I realized there are lots of things that they they sugarcoated it in classrooms. >> Yeah. >> Yes. Because >> sometimes they even twisted it completely. >> Yes. So I'll read something and I I'll
3:48 go and see something. I like ah this thing it be like this way and tell we different way or it's because they thought we were children. >> But I don't think it's the right way. There are lots of things that I know you've opened the Pandora's box. Let me let me go there. >> Do you think our educational system twisted our history to sort of indoctrinate us the wrong way? >> Yes. A lot. A lot. There are a lot of things that because of politics. >> Mhm. >> They had to cover it. There are a lot of things that because they think it's too exposed for the children. So we should cover it. You know, come to talk come to think of it something like let me say sex. >> Mhm. Mhm. >> You can't discuss sex with an African parent. It's very difficult. So when you take that one for example, there are sort of things that they'll cover >> in the books. Do not put the details
4:35 there. They're expecting that when you grow, you go and do your research. And the way the system they >> when you grow, you're looking for a job. >> You don't have time to go and do the research. >> You understand me? Yes. So when I found this part, I felt like, yo, this is me because me naturally, >> yes. When you tell me something, I will take it. But me myself I go and do research about it. Yes. So when I found this I was like okay this is me. >> So what are some parts in our history that you've done research and realized that they twisted the story more? >> So somewhere between Egypt Timbuktu and Amanukum where I come from because my family mig migrated from Misim Maseri. Egyptians call their country Maser. >> Okay. >> We call where we come from Misim.
5:21 >> Right. It's Maseri. Misra. Maser. Mhm. >> Right. It's the Europeans who call it Egypt. The indigenous people call their country the same thing that we call their country. >> Okay. >> Right. That Maseri. >> Maser. Yes. >> Spell it for me. >> M A S R I >> is the name Egyptians call their own country or Misra. >> Interesting. >> So we call Egypt by its true name. And Israel is Egypt. Everyone's biggest aim is to build wealth. Now anyone who knows what they are about will tell you the one true way to build wealth is to have a system that gains that wealth over time. Now most people are suffering to what system or what tool can they use?
6:06 How do they get to invest easily? How do they get to invest over time small amounts compound interest and build their wealth? Well, that tool is achieve by Petra. Download achieve by Petra now and let's build wealth together. >> Misim is where the word Israel comes from. >> Okay. >> So you feel Israelites are the Egyptians. >> Yes. The at not not all at some point. >> Mhm. >> But then the Israelites left Egypt led by who? Moses. >> Mhm. >> Or his real name was Musa. >> Okay. So MS left Egypt crossed the what is the Red Sea is the Nile. Let's go to Chadu. You see these rivers which were flooding [laughter] right?
6:52 >> No in the dry season you can walk across many of them. >> Yeah. >> Many of these rivers which flood and sweep cars and things away. In the dry season you can walk across them. >> Mhm. >> Me I grew up in Burma. There's a part of Chado. It's called River Jordan. That's why when people went to build there like ah because this place has been called River Jordan since I was 5 years old >> or at least seven or eight years old cuz we used to ride there on horses ride there on bicycles when you get there is river Jordan in the dry season we could wade walk across those rivers in the rainy season try to sweep you all the way to the quishi lagoon >> so the Nile River was like that before the Aswan Dam was built. So what did Musa do? The ancient Egyptians knew the seasons
7:39 very well. So MS just took his people, cross the Nile, and then the flood water started rising because those flood waters are coming from thousands and thousands of miles away. >> Okay? >> Right? Cuz there's no rain. Egypt here, the the only water is the Nile. >> Mhm. >> You've got to go down past even Sudan is dry. You've got to go southern Sudan. You've got to go Uganda, Tanzania. That's where the water in the Nile comes from. So Musa knew. So he crossed the river. The water level started rising. Their enemies tried to chase them. But they couldn't cross the river anymore because the it's the seasonal, >> you know, the Nile used to flood its banks every year. We learned that in primary school >> and then they were in the desert for 40 years. That is I mean those numbers are just mythical. But Musa led his people
8:25 from Misim Misraim. The G people say they come from Israel. They are. It's true. When G people say they are from Israel, then people laugh. But it's the fact >> Africa had planned cities. I mean, we had multi-story buildings. We had libraries and we had a whole lot of things, marketplaces, palaces, and all those places, paved streets. >> Mhm. >> That Europeans themselves. But you know, Richie, we we are not going to sit here and just say things for the sake of it. We're going to go deep into history >> and quote those people that came here during those era. Mhm. >> What where I want us to start this whole conversation from is when the Greeks cuz the Greeks we are told are the the people that brought civilization >> into this world we live in. They say
9:12 they they civilized the modern world. >> So we want to find out from the Greeks themselves because from my knowledge our ancestors taught the Greeks everything they know. >> Mhm. But now we are being told that the Greeks brought civilization. So we want to dig deep into the historicity of this whole thing. Now let's go um let me uh take you to uh Pythagoras for instance. >> Mhm. >> I mean blue touch right from the source. The source is h on on ISIS and Osiris and I want to quote this is from um 400 this is 4 46 CE to 120 CE. Okay,
10:01 >> this is when Plutarch wrote this thing. So let me quote he said witness to witness to this also are the wisest of the Greeks Solon Thalis Plato Idosis Pythagoras who came to Egypt and consulted with the priests. Pythagoras received instructions from office of Helopolis. Pythagoras greatly admired the Egyptian priest and copying their symbolism and occult teachings incorporated his doctrines in enigmas. So the whatage is telling us that the pythagoras that now Africans credit for
10:49 the theorem and all these things came to Africa to learn everything that he know. >> Interesting. So basically civilization when you want to look at civilization then civilization has its roots in Africa. Aside that the Greeks themselves they say that when you look at the gods for for instance so let me quote from Herodutus >> okay >> Herodutus says and this is from history's book two page number 50 he says almost all the names of the gods came into Greece from Egypt Greeks were the ones that translated the medunete medonet
11:35 the Egyptian language. >> Okay. >> Into the Greek language. >> Oh, okay. >> When they when they conquered Kmet in 332 BC after Alexander of Macedon died, his fourth general um uh Toll Suter Suter the Suter means uh savior. >> Okay. He inherited Kemet and and those territories. >> Mhm. >> So he decided to build a city for his BS Alexander. >> That is the town Alexandria. >> Alexandria. Yeah. >> Yes. He couldn't finish the city and you know it takes years to build a city. Yeah,
12:20 >> his predecessor, his uh the person that succeeded him, uh >> Tommy Filus after the they built the city, he built libraries cuz when they came to KT, they saw that the Africans had libraries. So they also decided they want to build libraries >> and build in building the libraries they decided to translate all the ancient Egyptian books into the Greek language and keep it in >> in their library. >> Okay. >> So that is where they got the Septuagen >> Septuagen >> which would become the Bible where the the source of the Bible and everything that's why the New Testament that everything is in the new is in Greek. So
13:06 I also read that there is no historical evidence of Moses. >> Yes. Yes. He never existed. >> Wow. >> He never existed. It was just a ploy to demonize KT. >> Okay. Kmet they the the Europeans didn't want Africans to go back to the Kmetic knowledge. >> That's why they they demonized it. >> So they had to be the ones who enslaved God's chosen people. >> Yeah. So if these people and the Bible specifically called them that they didn't know God, they were evil. >> Yeah. >> So imagine God saying these people are
13:53 evil. who are you to go and >> but then those people that brought us the book that said the Egyptians were evil, they took everything the Egyptians had and and and and put it in their museums. >> Yeah. >> Why are you taking things that belong to the devil? >> Mhm. >> And and then in in their Bible they say Egypt is the Egyptians were evil. But the the character Jesus Christ in the Bible when the h the the king wanted to kill him, >> look at where they took him to. >> Yeah. >> Where the devil is. [laughter] >> Maybe God sent him to go and fight the devil. [laughter]
14:38 >> Interesting cuz everything you know I um you know the 42 the 42 >> 42 laws of my art. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Yeah. The 42 negative confessions. >> 42 negative confessions. Where the ten commandments >> they stole from? Thou shall not steal by you stealing. [laughter] >> Richie, I asked myself this question. This character Moses >> Mhm. >> who supposedly was born in Egypt, >> grew up in the household of the Pharaoh, >> Mhm. is telling us that he didn't know about the the negative confessions. But this Moses before God was giving him thou shalt not kill had killed someone.
15:24 >> Yeah. [laughter] >> True. But you know that time God was forgiven. Even though in the garden of Eden he wasn't forgiven. [laughter] So he's punished all of us. >> But you forgive Moses. >> Forgive Moses. [laughter] Until we get the right knowledge to develop who we are and what we have, the development will take time. >> It'll be a problem. Let's go a little into African history. What what part of African history do you think we can discuss right now to let the person watching there know that Africa has always been great? >> Yes. You look at the pyramids, >> not the ones in Egypt alone. You know, the guys in Egypt now say that they built it, but really if you study the history, it's not it's not they built it. you go to Sudan it's there you know you even come to Ghana you see traces of
16:11 a lot of the things that they have found in these countries so it's still the knowledge that we carried alongside so I would say it's not just thousand year history 2,000 year history go beyond at least 6,000 7,000 10,000 uh you know backward and start to read materials on them and try to find the kingdoms >> and how they manage themselves at least when you were in school they talk about Ghana >> the empire what happened how How many years did they run? >> Yeah. >> How did they carry themselves? Because as it stands now, somebody will say, "Oh, some people came to tell you how to wear suit, how to wear tie." But these people ruled themselves for at least thousand years. >> Yes. Man was walking around in luxury clothing. >> Yeah. So they didn't have any sense until somebody tell them came to tell them how to comb their hair. No. >> So it means that there was a there was a time that somebody had to engineer to
16:57 lie to a whole new generation that they were nothing. You know, I was amazed. I was amazed to find out that in 200 AD, >> there was an African pope in Rome. >> That's right. >> I was like, I thought we were supposed to be univilized. >> Yes. >> How did one of us become a pope? >> As a matter of fact, >> I saw I said a pope. Sorry, a Caesar. >> Yeah. >> He ruled Rome. >> Our traces are everywhere. They even say that the the the the father of Western civilization, they call him Augustine, the mother was a Nubian. >> You can find that, you know. um um trinity the defenders of it were Africans. So there were a lot of uh Africans >> in almost everything science, technology religion everywhere >> that we must find. Somebody told us not to find them. And so that's why when you go to school, they teaching Greeks civilization constantly. They must link
17:45 it to that. I think we have to go beyond that. I'm saying that because of the traces that we see now and the damages that we see. >> So we cannot see ourselves beyond what they came to tell us. And that's why we still fighting to depend on somebody what somebody who was a president they asked him what is your greatest um legacy he said that that man people will be as old in their thinking as the Bible that's that's the reference and as new as the internet they know that you cannot talk of the future until you talk of the history >> and the British themselves they acknowledge when they met the Ashantis >> for instance the British common law for instance they picked it from the Ashantis >> okay >> because when they visited that when Baldich when you read a mission from Cape Coast to Ashanti let [laughter] me tell you something
18:32 it's funny um around the 19th century when in the UK the white people were I mean forgive me for my words in the river themes >> the Ashantis had toilet systems in their houses >> interesting >> yes >> but they said we were univilized >> let me let me let me let me quote Baich himself self. Let me look for the quote from Baich. Yes. Okay. And I quote, he said, "Many houses, especially in the capital, were two stories high." >> Wow. >> Two stories high, cleaned, decorated, and wellmaintained. There was also indoor plumbing.
19:20 plumbing toilet were flushed with gallons of boiling water and plantain fiber was used as toilet articles. We all know when we use so yes >> and he said it's called bodit >> no bald >> he was a a British emissary when the British wanted to meet the Ashantes for the first time >> Mhm. They were the ones they sent from the cipus castel. So they took a missionary >> to meet the ashant. >> And I keep hearing such stories. I keep hearing stories of different Europeans and how they were amazed whenever they came to Africa, you know, like I hear
20:06 about when the Portuguese went to um when they saw the Benin wall for the first time, how they were amazed at the cities and everything. But then I always wonder, so at which point in time in history did this turn around to now sound like we were just some monkeys living in trees that they had to come and save us. You know, I I just learned about a guy called Thomas Thompson. >> Mhm. Mhm. >> Who actually said that slavery saved Africans. >> No, they have said a lot of nonsense, you know. [laughter] >> [laughter] >> H but Richie let's from what they are saying let's ask Leo Africanos cuz Leo Africanos
20:54 visited Africa. He was a Moorish African uh he was sold into slavery. >> Mhm. >> And then uh the king that he was sold to found out that he was learned. >> Okay. and that he free he freed him and commissioned him to come and do a lot of works in Africa. You see before the Europeans came here >> Mhm. >> they had a lot of knowledge about Africa cuz they had sent a lot of people to come and do investigations for them. For instance, Leo Africanos in 1526 from his book description of Africa and I quote, "Here are many judges, doctors, priests, and learned men maintain at the king's expense. Great
21:41 numbers of book books are imported from Barbary." He was talking about Timbuktu. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Does this place look like a a a village or something? >> Because the University of Timbuktu was actually there before Oxford. >> Yes. As a matter of fact, the first universities in Europe were built by Africans. The Moors. >> The Moors. Exactly. When you were talking about Greece and their civilization, I was going to mention the fact that the Moors contributed to the civilization of Greece for like 700 years. But also I think that in Europe they will say oh you know we have lost what they have in Africa because Europe it's difficult for Europeans to imagine somebody is more developed than them.
22:27 >> Mhm. >> But I think when it comes to community and society Africa and other uh there are there are many societies that are far more developed than European society. Japanese society as yes, is far more advanced than European society. African society is far more advanced than European society. Not necessarily in terms of manufacturing and agriculture, but in terms of how we interact with each other and how we treat each other. Yeah. Right. Is more advanced. So Europeans assume it's something they had in the past and they've lost. But they never developed it because they were busy developing other things. >> Yeah. >> Right. So a a society will excel at whatever they spend a lot of their time and energy trying to develop. I think
23:14 African society is one of the most advanced in the world. >> Mhm. >> I feel that we have allowed religion to distort our indigenous culture and we are replacing many practices with religious practices. For instance, if I marry someone in a church and all my church members are there, will my church members be there when my wife and I have problems? >> No, they won't. >> Not necessarily. But if we go and do a knocking, my family is there, your family is there, we've exchanged the bottle of alcohol. >> Yeah. >> The day your family brings the bottle of alcohol back to my house, for instance, >> as a sign of even we will talk. We we
24:01 can say we won't accept the we won't accept it. >> Yeah, >> let's sit down and talk. So a marriage is between two families. It's not just two individual. We've thrown away our traditional marriage which is a fusion of two families and replace it with a white wedding. What is white? If I marry somebody, what is white about the wedding? Okay. Somebody can say I'm a white man, but you know that >> two Africans marrying in a white. >> Two Africans are getting married. Yes. So what is the obsession with the white wedding? You know, so I think we we have allowed religion and especially the business of religion. >> Yeah.
24:46 >> Right. to substitute many practices that were cheaper, more efficient longerlasting right? We've replace it with something more expensive, very fickle because the church members are just coming there to eat the cake and drink the Fanta, >> right? It's not they are not invested in this relationship. >> From what you are explaining, religion is culture. So why is it that only Africa we are not being able to hold on to our culture which is our religions? Yeah. It's it's it's it's one of the programming. Yeah. Even those of you and I wonder why this age of information, this age of technology, this age of enlightenment, everybody can read and and write. A lot of Christians are
25:34 acting as if King Leop's letter to the Congo. They've not seen it. >> Oh, why are you pretending? You've seen it. You >> when they came we were very organized. We have our religion. >> We have our system of justice. >> Yeah. >> System. >> We we have rules and regulation. We were very disciplined. >> Mhm. >> So the only way to get us is to incite us against our own culture. Demonize it. So the priest, our priest, they call it fetish priest. >> Yeah. Now they all of a sudden introduce television they introduced newspapers to us.
26:20 >> Mhm. >> So it was newspaper. Gone are the days people were glued to newspaper every morning. >> Sit there every morning. >> Every morning you were glued just like we are we are being glued to social media now. Yes. So television in in an in one decoding it is telling a vision. They tell you the vision >> they want you to accept. Mhm. >> So what as you watch the eye is the gateway to the brain and the soul. >> Yeah. >> Yes. So the the eye and the ear. So what you listen and what you see. >> So they brought us newspaper. So do you know newspaper evolved from black and white and the first colored one we got was PMP. >> Oh okay. >> PMP and stuff. I I think it's PMP. >> Mhm. >> Then they started editing.
27:05 >> Mhm. >> Taking a baby. Then they will put a goat's head. Yeah. >> Do you remember those days then [laughter] they would disturb us? >> They disturbed us as beer. It was entertaining >> then. It's not easy. So they were doing this gradually gradually gradually. So that's what they did. Tell you a story. Tell you a story. Tell you a story. Then you pass it on to your child. Pass it on to your child. Then they told a story. Our ancestors knew God, but they they never knew the concept of God. God going to sleep with somebody's girlfriend. Somebody's girlfriend became pregnant, gave birth to God's son, and God's son came to die. >> We didn't have this knowledge. But we knew there is the divine God and the lesser God. And we attributed this
27:51 lesser God to nature, >> either a tree, either a river, either a mountain, either a forest. Psychologically, for ecological purposes, they told you this deep forest belongs to the gods. Nobody should go there for hunting. If you go, the gods will strike you because you believed you can't go and do farming there. >> Natural reserve. We reserved it for the animals. Now we believe in Jesus Christ. Even forestim you see we don't do this we don't do this if we had believed even in our idols >> which I say it is also a form of
28:37 programming and believed there are spirits in the river so we should honor the river will we allow galami to destroy it doesn't >> go to China and destroy one river >> me my grandmother could mention 33 generations I was a 33rd generation really >> since my family left tumutu they don't call it timbuktu tumutu so from tumutu to bono >> I think that was 11 or 12 generations >> and then from bonu to uh um we migrated with the achims and then my family settled in a monochrome so my father and I calculated that that 33 generations is approximately 7 to 800 years So we live
29:23 in a civilization where history is more important than the future. >> Mhm. >> Right. If you look at our traditional knowledge system, the future is more important than the past. >> Yeah. Which is why we didn't document it as much. It was more oral history. >> And okay, look at my family's example. My father went to school, right? My father went to Achimo in the third 40s. 30s, 40s. No, he graduated 49, so in the 40s. >> Okay. >> My grandmother didn't have a daughter. So it is my father who she told this oral history to. She also told it to us, but we were little children, you know, we were small. >> So what did my father do? My father had gone to school. So he wrote it all down. >> Okay?
30:09 >> Right? He didn't learn it by heart like the illiterates did. >> He wrote it down. And then what happened? The book got lost. >> Oh. So in one generation of education, 33 generations of knowledge was lost. >> Wow. >> So we think education protects information. It doesn't. 33 generations had managed to remember all of these names. Remember the path. We were in Bono at this time. We were in Tumutu at this time. Then we were in Amanochrome at this time. Then >> you know from Amanochrome to insaw from insaw to Ara. I'm in Ara. Right. So when my grandmother is telling the stories like places, people, they are all connected. My father who was educated and wrote it down lost all of that knowledge. So there's nothing that says written down history is safer than oral
30:56 history at all. >> True. >> Right. Because and also we as Africans the reason why we adopted oral history is because the barbarians kept burning our libraries. They burned the libraries in Alexandria many times. In fact I think Julius Caesar was proud to say that yes he also burned the libraries in Alexandria. It's like it's something to boast about that. destroyed all this knowledge. So our ancestors tried to protect the knowledge. So they took it to the middle of the desert where it was where the barbarians couldn't come and burn the the libraries anymore. I've driven to Timbuktu. A thousand years ago, Timbuktu had a thousand universities. >> How many universities does Ghana have today? >> How many universities did Europe have a thousand years ago? >> Zero. But I I have this question. I
31:42 mean, I know the answer, but I have to ask this question. In Ghanaian school history when you learn Africa was some >> barbaric place. >> Yes. With no knowledge and no intelligence. And the wise people came to find us a few hundred years ago. >> Look 2026. Go and look at the primary school book, right? It says the benefits of colonialism. >> Oh my god. That is what our children when my children I when I saw the book that chapter and what does it say the benefits of colonialism are number one education >> education >> two religion three systems and uh medicine >> the journey to build wealth one of the
32:28 most important things is how to invest your money now I struggled with this for a long time because trying to invest small amounts of money over a long period of time is quite difficult in the terrain. But when I found Achieve by Petra, it changed everything for me. The ability to invest any type of money in their different investment vehicles makes it so easy to grow your wealth. So download the Achieve by Petra app now and join me and the other people who are on our way to build them. >> And I think the greatest force on earth is is is truth. >> You know, it's a force. >> It works by itself. There is nothing uh that comes before or after the truth. >> Mhm. >> It's it's it's strong. It's powerful and and it protects and works at all time at
33:13 everywhere. So if you look at the people who have become successful, look at the principles that you're using. >> Yeah. >> And you look at yours and all the things that you believe in and look at the results. There's something which is impaired with what you know. >> And so that means that your what you know is not the truth. And that's why because the truth as they say will bring >> if it's not working then it's not the truth. >> It's not it must bring you freedom. You have wrong information. >> We we can all can't debate but we all see that this microphone >> is here. So at this point this is the truth. You can discuss it everywhere. >> It's working. You're talking it's passing through. It's recorded. So it's working. >> So if you knew what you knew >> and and just as the other person it has worked for then it should work for you. >> I love that. So this means if your life isn't working for you, if anything in your life isn't working for you, some
33:59 information you have is wrong. You don't have it's not like something is against you because the farmer plants >> if the soil is good water is on it what should you do it should terminate >> so why what what is so technically wrong with you especially wrong with you that yours will not work >> cuz the truth works for everybody >> so the financial truth >> gravity is gravity if you drop something it will fall to the ground >> so if it doesn't fall to the ground something >> something information find that one with you >> you can solve a lot of uh problems you So you look at our community, our beliefs, our beliefs, our beliefs. Somebody's in some fetish place somewhere, priest somewhere, >> looking for reason to become rich. That's not the truth. >> I heard even the juju doctors went to take cover treatment.
34:44 >> They did [laughter] like, hey, aren't you supposed to be doing things for people? You going for treatment >> because they know [laughter] they know what they do. So I anyway but the more you develop yourself the more you you you the more you align with the principles of the universe the more you align with the principles of God and his principles work everywhere for everybody. >> What about African history? We want them to learn about African history [clears throat] >> where because you know it has been made very difficult >> to find it. Where did they find accurate history? And I repeat, >> yeah, >> accurate history. >> For me, even sometimes I don't even care whether so long as it makes you believe in yourself as an African, go for it. >> You know, our president, our first
35:29 president, Dr. Croman, wrote a lot of books. >> Okay. >> Why don't we find them? >> True. >> Some people were not happy with his books. >> Yeah. >> Um I was reading one the other time, Africa Mite. So, but this is information that we should have had as children. >> It's kept from us. >> Yes. We should have had. And so there there are writers like him and um there there are a lot of African even Ghanaian writers there are a lot of you go to University of Ghana now you go to the library there are a lot of African writers who have written not just not just on the tribes in Ghana but there are a lot of other um um you know Nigeria Kenya all of it African-Americans as well because they have also you know they were in the in the in the heat so they had to find a way to survive and much of it was the discoveries >> that they they they had in terms of
36:15 knowledge and in terms of African history. Jamaicans is the same. And so you you go to the go to the internet, you see African um teachers read them. >> Mhm. >> You see when the average westerner sees you with dread, they think you know something different. >> Yeah. >> They know >> because why why do you >> why why are you different? >> Mhm. >> And and and and we should look for the search information. And now YouTube makes it very easy. Yeah, >> one of my favorite teachers is MFI Asante. >> Okay. >> Professor Mafia Asante book. He's a great writer. He has a book, African history. >> How do you spell that? >> Malefi is I think it's M O L E F E Asante. There's an African-American. >> Okay. >> There's Chancellor Williams. Um
37:02 Dr. Gome's books. Um Professor Small, >> his videos are on the internet. uh to Oinga uh there are a lot of them >> okay >> that have written books and music as well >> there are you know fellow musical music >> because we've passed a lot of information through folk law >> that's right so so look for them and study a lot of even your tribe >> mhm >> look for their history beyond when the white man came >> yes and you can find a lot of ask your grandmother there are lot of information that they told them that they have not told us because we have not asked them >> true >> we must discover who we are >> so from Israel today called Egypt to Timbuktu. The world's knowledge and information was >> in the
37:48 >> was in Egypt >> the University of Timbuktu. >> Yes. How did the knowledge get from Egypt to Timbuktu? Unless the people took it there. >> Yeah. >> Right. And >> the from Alexandria and then to what do you call the University of Timbuktu. >> Yes. But why did they leave Alexandria? Because the barbarians kept coming to burn the libraries. >> Yeah. So they went to the most remote place that they knew and also they went to the richest place that they knew. If you look in the pyramids in Egypt, it's full of gold. There's no gold in Egypt. There's no gold in Jordan. There's no gold in Lebanon. There's no gold in Israel. There's no gold in Palestine. There's no gold in Saudi Arabia. There's no gold in Libya. >> So where did the Egyptians get their gold from? They got their gold from Mali. King Solomon's minds is in Mali,
38:33 right? So between Egypt and Mali. >> When you say Mali, do you mean the Mali Empire? >> I mean the Mali of today. Timbuktu is in Mali. >> Okay. >> So it's not it's what they call. And where did Moses take his people? Kana, right? Cananan. They say the Ghana Empire. Old Ghana. It's not old Ghana. It was called Gana. >> Khana as in Canaan. >> So we have now said, "Oh, we are the new Ghana." So that is old Ghana. But that place was never called Ghana. It was called Kana. Okay. >> And who is the most the most famous richest man in history? What is his name? >> Mansa Musa. >> Is he not the descendant of the Musa who brought us from Egypt? What did he do? He went back to Egypt. So Musa and his older brother
39:19 um who is called Abu Bakr. >> They they so Abu Bakr was the king. >> Yeah. >> He abdicated >> pilgrimage to >> he went to South America. >> Yeah. where he knew we also had uh ancestors or family. And Musa went back to Egypt. And what did he take? He took the thing to Egypt that he knew they did not have cuz Egypt never had gold. >> Mhm. >> They talk about him taking gold to Mecca. >> Yeah. >> Sure. He took a tiny amount of gold to Mecca and said, "Chali, you people, you keep coming to harass us for gold. I've brought you gold. Now leave us alone." >> Right. But the opposite happened. It's like if these guys have so much gold that they can come and dash us gold, then let's go and take more.
40:05 >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, um this is >> Al Bakari >> talking about Ghana. Not not this Ghana, the Ghana Empire. >> And this is what he says. The king's town consists of stone houses and substantial dwellings. >> So when someone tells you that when Europeans came, our ancestors were living on trees. >> Mhm. This is an an Arabian historians >> from 900 AD >> from 1068. >> 1068. Okay. >> The Europeans had not been here. The Portuguese came in the 15th century. >> Yeah. >> Going forward, Abakari again, he says the houses of the houses of the inhabitants are of stone and acacia wood. The king has a palace and a number
40:54 of domed dwellings. >> Mhm. all surrounded with an enclosure like a city wall. So we built cities and and fenced it. >> Yeah, >> we are builders. It's why when when you go to Mississippi and uh and uh South Carolina, you will see the metal works that the accounts that the enslaved did there. >> Mhm. For instance, the rice when we we we want to talk about the rice industry for instance, we know the Europeans deliberately picked the synagogues for their knowledge in rice farming.
41:41 >> Really? >> Yes. And took them there. Recently I was watching this movie Odys right this >> but it's it's an African story >> the Egyptian shipwreck story. >> One day we'll do this story on your show. Interesting. >> Everything they know, we taught them. Everything. Trust me, Richie. When you pick your phone, the hash key on it, >> that's the Edinkra. >> Oh. Oh, let me Google that. [laughter] Yes. So, so we we saw them everything. There's this Portuguese uh historian Dwati Pacu Pereira.
42:27 >> Yep. >> He visited Africa. >> What he's saying is 100% correct. The hash key was actually taken from sh in ther temple. >> Yeah. >> Beautiful. >> We gave them everything. That's why that professor um Rama that professor that said we give since we met you 500 years ago we've been giving you everything and you're still taking and taking and taking it we are still giving them. >> So that means when the girls are doing hashtag they're using the grass symbols. [laughter] >> So that is how African spirituality was about. But then when these people came they you know the the mentality they came with was to conquer
43:14 >> because um the pope through the papu had had divided the the entire world into two and given half to the Portuguese and half to the Spanish. >> Okay. and told them to go and conquer, >> kill and pillage everything on their way. So they and and and the pope is the vicar of God on earth according to the Christian. >> So he gives the blessing. You know, most people don't know that the pope gave the blessing for slavery. >> Oh yes. >> The same way most people don't know the pope gave Christopher Columbus the blessing to go and to kill them and make America their own. >> Yes. I always tell people, especially when I
44:00 see Christians going to crusade. >> Mhm. >> Do you know what a crusade [laughter] is? >> They don't know about the holy wars. They [laughter] don't know. You see, so you see right now when we talk about crusade, Christians are happy. >> Back in the days when you hear crusade, you'll be run, you run and go and hide under your bed. >> Yeah. >> Because it is war. But now, you understand? So everything has been turned upside down >> because you hear Christians say that we are going to war with the demons. We are going to say we're going to war. We were the demons. >> Yes. Yeah. That they were talking about they came to kill us. Like uh like St. Patrick >> killing the snakes in Scotland.
44:47 >> Okay. >> Who are the snakes? >> Was it? >> We were the snake people. >> Oh my god. >> It's not easy. [laughter] But now we've held on to this so tight. Right now Africans are more religious than those who brought the religions. >> But but you you go to Europe a lot of times you see them they they've sold their cathedrals and turned them into supermarkets and and >> see if this is self-defense. Deuteronomy 20:10 s I think we know check for me. >> Let me check for you. >> And I think we know um defending and then attacking. When you draw near to a town to fight against it or fight terms of peace. >> Now it says when you draw near a city >> to fight it.
45:33 >> Offer it terms of peace. >> Please. Is it attack or defending yourself? >> Fight. You are going to fight. >> Are they the ones going to attack or somebody's attacking them? >> They attacking. >> Yeah. Attacking. So start again. >> Okay. When you draw near to a town to fight against it. >> No. So a a town is there peacefully and when you want to go and fight it continue >> or fight terms of peace. >> Now you call them and tell them hey we want your city >> surrender to us. Oh why are you laughing [laughter] [gasps] off terms of peace >> then? Yeah beautiful you tell them peacefully don't fight because we don't want to honor life. Give us your just give us your time quietly. Now continue >> if it accepts your terms of peace and surreners to you. Now if the people are submissive if you don't surrender these people will finish us now. Uhhuh. Even
46:21 if they accept the terms now continue >> then all the people in it shall serve you in forced labor. >> Aba. So is God saying this? The people should become slaves. >> Mhm. >> They are in their city living peacefully. Go and attack them. Yeah. >> Give them peace to surrender. If when they surrender they are now your slaves >> to do forced labor. >> Forced labor. >> Continue. If it does not submit to you peacefully. >> Now if the people tell you ah chairman by you why we our go to go tell them make them surrender please we won't surrender continue >> but makes war against you >> now they will defend themselves. So when they said they won't fight now continue >> then you shall beseech it >> now surround the city. >> Mhm. >> And when the Lord your God gives it to you into your hand. >> Now this God will help you to conquer
47:08 the people. This is what Israel is doing to Iran >> right on our noses. Continue. >> You shall put all its male to the sword. >> Now kill all the men. Continue. >> You may however take as your booty the women. >> Yeah. Now take the women and go and share >> the children. >> Go and share. >> The livestock. >> Go and share. >> And everything else in the town. >> Go and share. >> All it spoils. >> Yeah. Go and share. >> You may enjoy the spoils of your enemy. >> Enjoy the women >> which the Lord your God has given to you. >> Yeah. That is the the word of God. This is why I always say I don't understand when Africans are defending Christianity so much because this was used. >> This was used on us. On us on us. There is one verse that even when I quote, you'll be shocked. Look at this verse. Leviticus chapter 25:31.
47:54 Now my fellow Africans that you go around defending the Bible, you when you tell them the Bible was introduced to us by our slave masters, you will get the same black people telling you who told you that. Now listen to this. >> Leviticus 25 verse 35 verse 31. >> Please, which of you Africans agree with slave slave trade and slavery? I know you think it's a bad thing, right? Look at the Bible. If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself without you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourer and he shall live with you. >> No. So if an Israelite becomes poor and he sell his s to you, an Israelite
48:40 because the Bible was written by the Israelite. So this is when it happens to a Israelite, >> let him live with you like somebody hustling looking for what he will eat. That means he won't be your slave. Yes. Yes, like he will be like a hired. We have a hired servant and a slave. So he will be like a hired servant. >> A high servant. Continue. >> Take no interest from him or prophet. But fear your God that your brother may live beside you. >> So because the person is an Israelite, don't don't treat him harshly. Let him live comfortably and then let him serve you. Continue. >> You shall not lend him your money at as in at interest. >> Don't lend him money even with interest because he's an Israelite. Continue. I will give him your food for profits. >> Okay. Continue. >> I am the Lord your God who brought you
49:25 out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God. >> Okay. >> Okay. If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave. Now he says if an Israelite become poor and sells himself, a slave is somebody that you bought. >> But if you buy that Israelite, he must not serve you as a slave. Yeah. >> Continue. >> He shall be with you as a hired worker. >> Let him be like a hired worker. Continue. With privileges. >> He shall serve you. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee. >> Yeah. They have the year of restoration that he can go back. >> Uhhuh. >> Okay. Then he shall go out from you. He and his children with him and go back to his own clan and return to the possession >> because the person is an Israelite. Give
50:12 him beautiful treatment. Continue. >> For they are my servants. >> So the Israelite are God's servant. Yeah. >> Whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. >> So because they've suffered in Egypt as slavesh. >> They shall not be sold as slaves. >> They cannot be sold as slaves. My fellow Africans, look at whom can be sold as a slave. Continue. >> Okay. You shall not rule over him ruthlessly, but shall fear your God. >> Continue. >> As for your male and female slaves whom you may have, you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. Now let's come to today. Let's come to today. >> Mhm. >> Today which are the nations around Israel? >> Iran. >> Palestine.
50:57 >> Palestine and Africa. >> And Africa. >> So he said when you need slaves, buy them from the nations around you. >> Around you. >> Continue. >> You may also buy from among the strangers who sjon with you and their clans that are with you who have been born in your land. So even strangers they are called resident aliento shave who live among you buy them and let them become your slaves. >> Your property and they may be your property. >> They may be your property. Uhhuh. You may bequeath them to your sons. >> Now they are your property and when you die your children have to inherit them as property. after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but but over your brothers the people of Israel,
51:45 you shall not rule one over another ruthlessly. >> So we dear we dear we can be property. We we are we are we are we are we are candidate to become slaves. Yes. >> But Israelites are special people. Now my fellow Africans, let me tell you, you pray to the God of Israel. Do you know why? Because >> the Jews claim to be God's chosen people based on a book they wrote. [laughter] Think >> that's why sometime they twist the story and they say that before the the slavery arrived you ourselves we were engaged in the slavery already. >> True. >> Yes. It's true. We engaged in >> I mean it's it's slavery was a global thing. >> Slavery is not limited to Africa. Yes, >> it's a global thing but it's that we
52:32 take >> do we but the difference is even we take one body the slavery that existed over here it wasn't >> like the the the British people came here >> our slavery was like you see the way that time there was no money so you work for me yes 50 people so that come and work for me >> sometimes when you go to war you capture people you capture them as slaves you have to bring something that was the slave we were going I think the worst part of slavery, like black slavery, is not the fact that we were slaves because slavery, like I said, was a global thing. It's how we were treated. >> Yes, >> that was the first time that slaves were treated so badly >> because slavery, like if you go in the Bible and everything, slavery has always been a thing. But for this period, we
53:19 were treated really, really badly. And the funny part is you when you say stories about slavery your own people come and be like 400 years ago you people not leave it there you are still I'm still talking about the past because you don't know it that's why you are here you think because h this this and that the white people are better than you I'm telling you the reason why we are here right now >> but you have people in the comment section telling you that >> the truth is we are still slaves >> oh yeah yeah I tell people all the time mentally now >> they just went and just gave the it's like you are playing game. >> They just went out of the building and gave the controllers to someone. >> That's all. >> Yes. Because right now educational system, you know, we we decided >> the language you speak right now, it's not our language. >> The money we spend, we don't decide. >> We don't even we don't even print it.
54:05 >> Yeah. We don't control anything. We think we are in control. We given the illusion of control. >> So that's what that's the step that Opana was taking. Opa. When I say Opana, I'm talking about Kuma. Yeah, >> even though he gave him the independence, he knew that you are not intel for >> when the the the white people they saw that chal >> and also threatening nuclear powers more >> and yes that's when they saw that chal this guy >> if we don't stop >> be very he be very stubborn and you find you find out leaders a lot of leaders in Africa that what they do to him you take someone like this >> you realize this man they do in whatever ever he's doing has nothing to do with >> the western world but they are always so
54:53 want to be involved in what the man is doing >> because you see they they do strategic thinking so when something starts they project 10 20 30 years from now and see this guy will be a problem in the future >> so let's stop it now so I want us you see I always say when we say these things we are not insinuating that the west should stop what they are doing that's that's good for them. We should also start being strategic. When we see a person who is also thinking ahead, who is also implementing things that will benefit us in 10, 20, 30 years from now, let's support that person. >> Hey, this one a lot of it. Okay, let me take one person likewami. >> Mhm. >> A lot of things about that man >> they didn't tell us.
55:38 >> Tell me some. Tell me some. >> Oh, like how he was overthrowned, >> huh? uh the process, how the CIA, >> yeah, >> you know, got in the heads of some of our leaders and they overthrew this man, >> the the plans that he had. >> Yeah. >> And all of that, they don't never tell you. >> Even um what's the namewam Kuma? How he even came to Ghana? >> There are a lot of stories. Yeah. There there's this um documentary, I think this information, it's called the circle. >> Okay. That's one uh I think it was it was a group he was in. Yes. With a lot of people before he came to Ghana and this people they were they were recruiting a lot of people who were who had like political influence. >> Now they decided to paint him black to
56:24 Ghana. So they told he's blowing our money trying to paint them black to Ghana. So when the conversation was rising, people were accepting the fact that is actually a bad person. They they started saying that he wants to be the only president because when he talk about the one party state that he was introducing, people said, "Oh, he's an antichrist." Then then so when you realize the documentary they've read, they've written antichrist and all of those things. They tried to paint him black and that's why they got a chance. The CI people tried to they they they started entering places And then the cool happened. So before Kami was about to travel, you knew about the cool. People don't know about this
57:10 thing. He he suspected the cool before he went. >> So that's even part of why he went. >> So before he No, it's not that's not the part the reason why he went. Before he was about to go, he knew. >> Okay. >> So before he even landed where he was going, they told him that a coup has happened. >> So he knew. So the people who did the cool no >> they had plotted it. They were they were being funded by the CIA. They were being given weapons and all of that thing our people didn't know when Kanukuma was coming to Ghana he didn't want to come >> he didn't want to come but because they were fighting for Panaffrican like Africa to be together they told him that you have to start from somewhere >> that is why he came >> because over there they were fighting for different countries he wanted to go to another country but then they told him to come so when he go to Ghana and he got the independence for Ghana he was
57:57 trying for Africa to be connected >> and can you imagine how powerful we would have >> become >> like right would be a country of 1.3 billion people. Right? >> Look at America. The reason why we we look at America as a very is because they are united. >> Yeah. USA, United States of Africa. >> This is one thing that you see he he started a journey. >> He started a journey to get that thing going. >> And you know, you know how the the the coup even happened. >> He wrote a book about um imperialism. >> Yeah. >> New new imperialism. Mhm. >> And this book that he wrote one month later, exactly one month later, >> they they overthrew him. >> Oh, of course, because at a point he started to realize that especially when he started um working with the Russians
58:42 and it start it started to look like, wait, this man is trying to unite all of Africa. >> It's not working. And you know, I watched this movie. I think I did a contest about it. I I I watched this movie. It's a series actually. It's called The Crown. They were telling the story about Queen Elizabeth >> and they told the reason why Queen Elizabeth came to Ghana. >> That dance that he had with Kuma. People thought he was just it was not just a dancewami was leaning towards the Soviet Union. They thought he was leaning towards the Soviet Union. So they had to come and do something to let him stay. >> Yeah. >> That's why he because they didn't even support the dance. Every story, every detail of the story is in that movie. Okay. >> Even when that movie came out, they had to ask them to take a lot of things out. >> Okay. because they thought he's exposing a lot of things but that story is actually there when fighting for Africa
59:28 to be together like okay so if Africa come together who will be the president >> so there's this video when they ask Kamikuma will you like to be or can you be the president of Africa and he answered that no for me I'm too small I cannot be the president of Africa >> these are visionaries that he did not see people did not see >> and was a certain man that when another country in Africa needs help send them money to But people are now we have roads, we have bridges, we have a lot of buildings that are built by that we are using now. >> You can't even name one thing that was built by a certain leader that we are using now. >> And that's the amazing thing. Every time I'm passing by something that Enruma built or something that he did, I'm
1:00:15 like, "Wow, we are 60 over 60 years in >> and he's still a visionary." >> Yes. All the things that he did. There are things that could you believe that at some point we were making our own um radios. >> Yeah. >> We were making our own TVs. We were making our own You were making shoes and exporting them to Netherlands. We were making h bottles. We had we have a a glass factory. >> We're making our own sugar. >> Have you been to um Red Cave before? >> No, >> you have to go there. >> Where is it? >> It's in Tamale. Ibrahim Muhamad's place. >> Uh that building that they've designed it with. I've seen the video, but I've never been there. >> When you go there, you see the history. You read on in Chroma. You see some of the things that Ghanaians were doing in that era. It is amazing what we were
1:01:02 capable of >> that we are suddenly no longer capable of. Ganaba said one thing. He said that what shows the power of a man. He said to him incruma is the most powerful man who has ever existed. Why? Because incruma got Christians and Muslims to unite against him. [laughter] And incruma got America and Russia to unite against him. >> So why did that happen? Because Incruma said Ghana is a secular nation. We must remove religion from education. And what we teach in schools must be science-based. So our education as a secular nation cannot be based on faith.
1:01:49 It must be based on science. >> Mhm. >> So when our children go to school, all we are going to teach them is what we know to be science today. And we are going to teach them that what we know to be science is constantly changing. If you are Christian in your house, teach your children religion at home. If you are Muslim, teach them. If you are traditionalist, if you're animist, whatever you are, religion is a is a private matter. It is not a national matter. So Incruma said we must remove religion from education because if you teach something faith-based alongside something which is scientifically based >> because it's science we can say it's absolute you are teaching people that this theory which is based on nothing right faith there is based on nothing
1:02:36 that is real because if your faith comes from within then it's based on something which is real but if it comes from if it's external source of faith we are teaching faith alongside science So our children are going to grow up believing that faith is the same as science. We must separate them. >> As soon as Inroma tried to remove religion from our educational system, have you ever read the school books what they say about ina coast? [laughter] Gold coast. Me I Ghana I never see gold before. Me too. The only gold I see with the chain. >> I've seen gold once. Once but >> but real it wasn't even yours. >> No, it wasn't mine. [laughter]
1:03:22 >> Gold coast but we never see gold before. So Africa >> just think about something amazing. >> Ghana has gold and oil. >> Yes. >> Like Ghana has gold and oil. Yet we are broke. >> Very very very broke. >> Yes. When you go to other continents like Nigeria, they have all the resources. Yeah, >> there's this story they sold they someone bought Nigeria for a certain amount foren >> they twisted the story about the Nigeria story that's how Ghana today Ghana too they tricked us into signing things that we didn't know >> and some of our forefathers I don't blame them because that time they didn't understand >> certain things >> yes and the languages as well like the first man who met the Portuguese at this one he didn't understand it was just
1:04:08 sign language >> before they realized the Portuguese had taken over the whole place. >> They didn't understand. So sometimes I understand them. I don't blame them too much. >> For those who know me out of masterminds, you know that I've spent two decades building an empire based on sound. And now I've taken what I've been able to achieve in music to creating a way for you to experience music and sound. We introduced the Lynx Reverb headphones and [music] now we've introduced the Lynx Octave Bluetooth portable speaker. So support a small businessman and patronize the quality goods that we have provided for you. You can either find us at Compu Ghana or on our website links electronics.com. So you know a lot of my guests have spoken
1:04:55 about the fact that education is not helping us the way it should have. Right. >> We are some of the most booklong people. >> Yeah. >> We are also some of the least collaborative people in the whole of Africa >> because it's trained into us. >> Yes. The more book long you become, the less you understand the power of collaboration. >> Yeah. >> Right. So >> think about it. In school, you are taught that if you work together, like you can't you cheating. >> You are cheating. Yes. >> And then you come into the real world and the way to get ahead is to work together. But you've been made to feel like if I give my colleague a job, do this proposal for me. the colleague feels that by doing it alone and presenting it and showing they did it means they are a good employee whereas no collaborate with your colleague and bring me a proposal that is better than
1:05:42 if you had done it on your own. >> So the I feel that our education actually does us a great disservice because the most important thing in life is learning how to work together with people. >> Yeah. Look at what they teach children in a kindergarten in Germany, right? They make them play this game over and over and over again. They have these two sticks and then one stick which is quite long. >> Mhm. >> So in order to put this one stick on top of these two sticks, two people must work together. So in the German educational system, they don't teach you ABCD 1 2 3 4 until you are 7 years old. Prior to that is kindergarten. But what do they teach
1:06:27 them? They teach them how to get along with each other. They teach them how to collaborate. They teach them how to work together. They teach you that this is impossible unless you work with somebody else. >> Mhm. >> So that is what they are teaching their children. Meanwhile, we are teaching our 5-year-old, foury old children to compete against each other. M >> you see when we look at the educational system that the British left for us right we have to understand that they were trying to oppress us they were trying to extract us what is the first lie we are taught when we go to school in Ghana 1+ 1 is two 1 plus 1 is not two me plus my wife is four >> okay >> right >> no it's not like Terrence Howard >> no it's so [laughter] true me plus my
1:07:12 wife I and my shorty are one right
