Intro

Richie Mensah introduces the video and welcomes his guest Nana, who will discuss the often-ignored historical contributions of Africa. They emphasize the need for Africans to recognize their past to understand their present and future.

Welcome: Why We Avoid This Conversation

The discussion begins by addressing why conversations about Africa's history are often avoided. They emphasize the importance of understanding Africa’s rich past to reshape contemporary views and encourage growth.

Before Colonization: Cities, Libraries and Kings

Nana describes pre-colonial Africa as a place with developed cities, libraries, and systems of governance. He counters myths of Africa being primitive and presents evidence of its advanced societies, citing various historical texts.

The Case That the Greeks Learned From Africa

Discussing the influence of African knowledge on Greek civilization, Nana points out that many Greek scholars, including Pythagoras, traveled to Africa to learn from its centers of knowledge, particularly Egypt.

Imhotep and the Origins of Medicine

Nana highlights Imhotep as a pivotal figure in the history of medicine, predating Greek medical theory. He explains how Imhotep's teachings laid the groundwork for later medical practices.

What Europeans Wrote About Ashanti Civilization

The Ashanti civilization's complexities and achievements are discussed, emphasizing the rich cultural heritage that European records often misrepresented. Nana provides examples of European observers who noted Ashanti advancements.

Timbuktu, the Moors and the First Universities

Timbuktu is presented as a center of learning and scholarship, predating many European universities. The Moors are credited for their role in transferring knowledge to European cultures during the Middle Ages.

African Spirituality: God as Energy and Oneness

The speakers discuss unique aspects of African spirituality, which views God as a universal energy rather than a detached entity. They explain how this perspective offers a holistic understanding of existence and reverence for nature.

The Bible and Its Older Sources

Nana argues that significant stories and teachings within the Bible have roots in earlier Sumerian myths. He emphasizes the importance of cross-referencing these sources to understand biblical narratives.

How Christianity and Islam Entered Africa

The introduction of Christianity and Islam into Africa is analyzed, focusing on the social and cultural shifts that accompanied these religions. Nana discusses the interplay between these faiths and their impacts on African society.

Underdevelopment, Debt and the Systems We Inherited

The final chapter critiques the current state of Africa, addressing systemic issues related to underdevelopment and debt. They argue that Africa's wealth is often exploited, and solutions must prioritize leveraging natural resources to develop the continent sustainably.

0:00 From my knowledge, our ancestors taught the Greeks everything they know. Heroditus says, and this is from history's book too, almost all the names of the gods came into Greece from Egypt. >> Interesting. >> The acronym that the the Romans used for uh land is Ka. So when they conquered the Afrey people, they named the area A. The missionaries that came here, they were not pastors like the pastors we see here. They were just jissuit missionaries. They were army men >> trained in the Catholic system. So I read a Bible from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. I've done that three times. My big sister had been abducted by aliens before. Please tell me more. Will you pick your phone? The hash key on it. >> That's the

Subscribing to the channel helps me and the entire mastermind's team to continue bringing you wonderful conversations and episodes that bring you closer to being the mastermind you deserve to be. So join the community. Welcome back to the Masterminds podcast. My name is Richie Mena and I'm your tour guide on this journey to sharpen your most powerful tool, your mind. You know, they always say you never know where you

1:35 are going unless you know where you're coming from. And I've been saying this for a long time that one of the reasons that Africa hasn't reached where we all know it should be is because we've been made to forget where we are coming from. So I invited a man who's wellversed in this topic, very knowledgeable. He's an educator. He believes in Africanism. He believes in spirituality and he is helping spread this message with all the strength that he has. So I said, let's sit down and have a conversation so that my fellow masterminds can also benefit from his mindset. So please help me welcome Nana. Nana, >> welcome. Welcome.

2:21 >> Thank you. Thank you for having me. >> I'm very excited to have you here, P, cuz I think we don't have a lot of these conversations. And when we have the conversations, it's like it's pushed under a rug. >> I'm lifting the rug so that people will hear us talk. >> It's very important. The first time I saw your podcast on my screens, I got excited cuz I know how I mean >> uh a perfectionist you are. I mean when your track record in the music industry speaks for itself. So when you branched into podcast, I knew you were going to do wonderfully well. So I >> thank you. >> Congratulations. And >> thank you. >> And I must say I love where you are channeling this whole thing to towards I mean Africanism cuz that's all we have.

3:07 Africa. >> That's all we have. >> That's all we have. So once again thanks for having me here. >> Thank you. Thank you. Let's jump right into it. You know me may I always say when you look at the school system and they teach us our history. Our history starts from 300 400 years ago. It is almost as though before colonization >> Africa did not exist. >> Okay. >> So please let's jump right into that. Tell me before colonization because I know you've read a lot. You've done a lot of research. >> Yeah that's true. >> What was Africa like before colonization? you know the real picture before the Europeans arrived. >> Okay, once again thank you. Um you see one of the biggest myth that I mean people talk about is that pre-colonial Africa had no cities and I

3:53 mean no I mean uh development and that that's a myth. You see before the Europeans came 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, >> 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 they they civilized the modern world.

4:40 >> 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 uh on on ISIS and Osiris and I want to quote this is from um 400 this is 4 46 CE to 120 CE. Okay,

5:25 >> 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 Thalus Plato Idosis Pythagoras who came to Egypt and consulted with the priests. Pythagoras received instructions from office of Helopolis. Pythagoras greatly admired the Egyptian priests and copying their symbolism and occult teachings incorporated his doctrines in enigmas. So the whatage is telling us that the

6:10 pythagoras that now Africans credit for 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 >> interesting so this is like let's say Kmet before Egypt even got the name

6:56 Egypt >> Egypt Okay. >> And and Richie, the name Africa, we call this continent Africa, but we didn't name this continent Africa. >> Y >> the word Africa came from the Greeks themselves. >> Mhm. >> H Africs without cold. >> Okay. Without cold. >> Without cold. Okay. >> Cuz when the Greeks came here, >> they found that even when the places that um you would see snow, still you feel like I mean the sun and and everything. So they named the place >> Afric without cold. >> Okay. >> When the Romans conquered the northern part of Africa, they conquered the Afrey people. In Africa, we have we have a tribe or an ethnic group that called Afrey. They were one of the ethnic groups that were occupying the northern

7:42 part of Africa. >> Okay. >> Me, I don't call that part northern Africa anyways, but that is how we call it. Anyways, they when they conquered that part, the acronym that the the Romans used for uh land is CA. >> Oh, okay. >> So, when they conquered the Afrey people, they named the area Africa. >> Okay? >> Cuz it was the Afrey people's their land that they had they had conquered. So, they named that place Africa. >> Okay? >> It doesn't mean that is not how we called it. I've tried to look for a name but honestly we didn't have a particular I've heard a lot of people say a kebabon but my question is in what language >> yeah because we had different languages >> exactly >> and I even watch somebody debunking >> means I mean place of mankind and all that so I don't I don't go with those

8:30 those things but then >> Richie let us look at this thing every time this continent is being conquered the people the conquerors come here in disguise as traders. >> Mhm. >> We know what happened during the slave trade and the uh colonization, but it's this thing that the Greeks also did. The Greeks initially came in as traders and then we gave them a place to stay and build their >> Yeah. >> trading post where they named the place Nalis. >> Nalcratus. >> N A U N A U C R A T I S. >> Okay. >> Yes. So um it's just it meant never command.

9:15 >> Okay, >> we didn't understand the Greek language. But now that we are digging into history, we know that the name they gave to the place and never command. >> So they had their intentions. >> They had their intentions just like the Europeans that came here, they had their intentions. >> For instance, I I always tell people that the missionaries that came here, they were not pastors like the pastors we see here. They were just jissuit missionaries. They were army men >> trained in the Catholic system. >> But you see, because of our of ouros hospitality, that's that's what brought us to where we are now. >> Yeah. >> Because we are so welcoming. >> And I I think it stems from the fact that we are the first people on this planet. >> Mhm. >> Because as we all know, the most dominant energy on this planet is the

10:02 sun. >> Yeah. >> And we are the only race that thrive under the sun. Yeah. >> And we love it. >> Yes. >> Interesting. So, okay, let's let's go to some of the civilizations cuz I like how you've already mentioned to show that even before the Greeks came here, we had our civilization. But, um, even medicine, all these things, we've had people coming here to come and learn it. And it's all documented. >> It is. I mean, you just mentioned medicine. After your qualification to become a doctor, you take an oath. >> Yeah. >> Which is the hypocritic oath. >> Yeah. >> As Clipius, who is the deity that the Greeks used. >> Mhm. >> The original deity is Imoteep.

10:49 >> Imoteep. Yes. The god of medicine. >> The god of medicine. >> The the ancient Egyptians had deified thousands of years before the Greeks even came to >> KTH. M. >> So when they came and and we we we we did it with a quote that the the the Greeks changed all the gods that the Greeks had, they they got it from from Egypt. >> Okay. >> For instance, in 332 BC after Alexander of Macedon, they call him Alexander the Great. Me, I don't call him Alexander the Great because the man that came to conquer my land, >> I don't see why. >> You don't see why he can be called the great call him. I call him Alexander of Macedon because that's where he's from. >> Yeah. >> 332 BC when the Greece conquered Kit.

11:36 Alexander of Macedon traveled to the Siwa Oasis. >> The Siwa Oasis that's where we had the temple of Ammun. >> Mhm. >> This where the Christians the the word amen >> came from. True. >> A lot of times I ask my Christian brothers I said you say amen means and so be it. In what language? Mhm. >> Does amen means so be it. And and they fumble. They don't because it's not true. It's like a a Christian making a pilgrimage to Israel >> to pray in front of the whailing wall when historically we know it's not a wailing war. >> It's just a Roman fortress, Fort Antonia. >> Interesting. >> Yes. So um so Alexander of Macedon

12:26 took a pilgrimage to the Siwa Oasis and there he wrote a letter to his mother Olympia and in the letter he said mama I'm now on the land where the first two Greek gods Apollo and Zeus emerged. >> Interesting. So if we gave the Europeans their gods and now we are worshiping their gods. [laughter] It's like everything has been turned backwards. >> Yes. Exactly. That's how history has been. It's what it's is the reason why we are now at the bottom. >> Yeah. >> Whereas we are supposed to be at the top cuz everything has been turned upside down just like the north has been turned the south. >> Really? Please tell me more about that. >> Okay. So the Nile River for instance.

13:12 >> Yeah. >> We all know rivers flow from north to to south. >> Mhm. So, how come the north Africa and we have the now flowing >> flowing all the way to that place? >> I've never thought about this before. [laughter] Interesting. >> Interesting. The Nile River. [laughter] >> So, when you say everything has been turned from north to south, are you referring to only Africa? You're referring to the entire world. >> The the entire world. So the North Pole is the South Pole and the South Pole is the North Pole. >> Yes. A lot of things has been turned upside down just to confuse people. It's just like NASA for instance. >> Mhm.

13:57 >> Telling people to look up in the skies for when everything is in the ocean. >> I've heard this thing. I've heard people discuss because I know that NASA actually started by exploring the water. But but Richie, the word NASA in itself from its Hebrew origin means to deceive. [laughter] [gasps] Wow. [laughter] Let me tell you something, Richie. Uh, so a lot of times my I know my my brother is going to be upset when I when I say this that my the highest my highest level of education is ghsu press ghs. >> Mhm. >> When when I tell people that they don't they don't believe but that that's what

14:43 it is. >> You're well educated >> but that's what it is. >> Yeah. when when I tell people that they don't believe. But the thing is this, Richie, the word education comes from the Latin word edus. >> Okay. >> Which means to bring out what is hidden in you. >> Mhm. >> But when we go to school, it's that what we >> No, they rather push things deep into us. >> Exactly. They force you to become what they want you to become. >> Yeah. Indoctrination. >> Yes. So you don't get to become what you want to become. Imagine if I if I'd gone further with my education, maybe I wouldn't be here. >> True. >> You understand? And if you check my my do ob that my alignment in the stars and everything. I'm a communicator.

15:30 >> Okay. >> It's why I communicate for the gods. >> Mhm. >> Understand? So you've got to know who you are. It's what the Africans perfected. You see, when the Europeans came to Africa, our understanding of what God is was too grandeur for the European mind to understand and they still don't understand it. >> Yeah. And I've always wondered how is it that we know that life started in Africa. >> Yeah. >> But religion was brought to us later. So are you saying that before 400 years we did not know God? Okay, Richie, let us let us look at it from this perspective. God, they say God means nyangopon, right? >> Mhm.

16:16 >> Who coined that word nyangopon? >> It was there before they came. >> Mhm. >> So, it means we knew what nyangopon is. And all the branches of the Akan tribe, they they all have word for Yangopon. >> Yeah. >> Mu. >> Mhm. All all the all the branches of the account tribe they all have what how they call God. Yeah. >> So for somebody to come and say these people do not know what God is >> that's absurdity >> and yet people believe it Richie this is 2026 people should not believe things hook line and sinker. It is why >> on this episode we we give quotes and source so that people can verify. >> Exactly. People don't like to verify

17:03 though. >> That's that's the problem with Africans. That's why the Europeans used to say when you want to hide things from Africans, put it in a book. >> In a book, [laughter] but I I think we were taught that way. You know, we were taught to not verify. We were taught that we only take what we are told. It's part of the educational system. And hearing the fact that you you finished after GSS explains to me why you are a freethinker. >> Yes. What one thing that helped me was after I couldn't further my education the thought came into my mind was that >> so all the things we are learning in the classroom >> Mhm. >> the people that invented them who taught them those things. >> Yeah. >> So that was what I psyched my I I

17:48 consoled myself with that if no one thought Pythagoras or Aimedis >> Mhm. M >> the theorem that they know they knew >> then I can also create things with my mind. >> Yeah. >> So I started to read I would read everything that I and then here we are. But then what led me to this whole history thing was Rich I was a Christian. >> I used to preach on the streets. I was a Sunday school teacher. >> Nice one. Father, Father Chom, [laughter] >> and I I'm I'm I'm an empath. When I see people struggling, I I I feel it. So >> I You would be in the church and and people are struggling with diseases,

18:34 finances and all that. And I felt why are we in the throne of God and we are suffering. So I took it upon myself to read the Bible. So, I read the Bible from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. I've done that three times. >> Mhm. >> And I didn't read it just like that. I read it with other historical documents cuz it's how I do my reading. When I'm reading a thing and you mention something that I don't understand, I go I put the book down >> and you go and check >> and go and check what you're saying. So I after reading the Bible, I found out that this whole thing that the Bible is talking about is is about you and I and how we will activate the God within

19:21 us. >> And it has nothing to do with God sending his beloved son to come and die. You see, when they say those things about God, they making God look like a stupid entity who do not know what it is about. I don't ascribe sex to God because I know what it is. >> Mhm. >> I know it is an energy. >> Yeah. >> So, I don't I don't ascribe uh sex to it whether he or she. I call it >> male or female. >> Yes. I call it because >> so that energy lives in everything that is alive is why our ancestors gave reverence to everything that is alive. Even in the Christian Bible, it

20:06 says if you want to know God, get closer to its creation. >> Yeah. Get closer to nature. >> Yes. Because God doesn't live in house that was built by men. But we all know the the builders of our churches. The recent one that they wanted to build for God uh the National Cathedral. [laughter] >> Hey, you get me in trouble. [laughter] >> Please. The cathedral. Where is it? >> What? The last time I heard, they said they wanted to turn it into a swimming pool. [laughter] $250 million swimming pool. Hey. H it should tell us something. Imagine using the name of one of our deities. Let me

20:54 use my deity kitable. >> Okay, >> for an example that I use Kitibu's name that I'm going to build a temple for Kibu and I took money from people and I didn't build it. You think Kibu is going to let me walk? >> Hey, like that will be the end of you. [laughter] So then when you say that are you trying to insinuate that our deities are real because the punishment is real but the Christian deity is not real because we've never seen such a thing. It shows in their life is why there are so many evil in Africa. Richie, when the Europeans when the Europeans came, I will look for the the the specific

21:40 quote and give it because there's this Portuguese uh historian that said these people are just people. For for somebody to describe a people as just >> Mhm. It means they value law and order. >> Yeah. You understand? And 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 when Baich >> when you read a mission from Cape Coast to Ashanti >> let me tell you something. It's funny. Um around the 19th century when in the UK the white people were I mean forgive me for my words in

22:27 the river themes. >> Mhm. >> The Ashantes 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. 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. Plumbing toilet were flushed with gallons of boiling water and plantain fiber was

23:12 used as toilet articles. We all know when we use >> Bit Yes. >> And he said it's called >> Bit >> No. Baldit. >> 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 Kipus Castle. >> So they took a missionary >> to meet the Ashanti. >> 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 about when the Portuguese went to um when they saw the Benin wall for the first time, how they were amazed at the

23:58 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 I I I just learned about a guy called Thomas Thompson. >> Mhm. >> Who actually said that slavery saved Africans. >> No, they have said a lot of nonsense. You know, [laughter] but Richie, let's from what they are saying, let's ask Leo Africanos cuz Leo African visited Africa. He was a Moorish African. Uh he was sold into slavery.

24:44 >> Mhm. >> And then uh the king that he was sold to found out that he was learned. >> Okay. >> And that he fre he freed him and commissioned him to come and uh 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 numbers of book books are imported from

25:29 Barber." He was talking about Timbuktu. >> 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. 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? How do

26:16 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. Those were the truths. >> Okay. >> Those the the truce migrated from Africa. >> Mhm. >> Took the African civilization to Europe. >> Then the Europeans had not come here and they still lost the civilization. [laughter] >> So they came here. The Greeks came in 332 BC and we gave them the civilization again. They still lost it. The Romans came. We gave them the civilization again. >> Yeah.

27:01 >> And they still lost it. And we took it to them in 700 AD when the Mos conquered the Iberian Peninsula. >> Yeah. >> We took education before the Mos conquered the Iberian Peninsula. Richie, the European kings only bath once a year. >> Wow. >> And that was in the rivers. They lived in bands with their animals. Richie, let me let me quote what Albakari before the uh contemporary Europeans came. >> Mhm. >> The Arabs had been here cuz they came in the >> 9th century >> to spread Islam.

27:48 >> Maybe in in other time we we'll talk about talk about that. >> So today we'll talk about everything. We have time. [laughter] 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,

28:35 "The houses of the houses of the inhabitants are of stone and acacia wood. The king has a palace and a number 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.

29:21 For instance, we know the Europeans deliberately picked the synagogues for their knowledge in rice farming. >> Really? >> Yes. And took them there. Richie, the metal workers, we we know the industrialization and everything started with the tool making because when you want to industrialize, you have to make tools and machines and all that and you need metal workers. >> Mhm. >> What is the name that the Europeans give to metal workers? Blacksmith. [laughter] >> True. >> That's a morphin. >> Where does that name come from? >> Black smith. >> Yeah. Smith means working with metal. >> So that's a black man working with

30:07 metal. >> Yeah. >> Interesting. >> Mind you, you are a slave. So your master is not going to manufacture tools for you to make the job easier for you. You have to think. >> Mhm. >> So they thought and they created a lot. So when maybe next time we we we dig deep into the inventions that the slave cuz but I always tell people the only thing that Europeans have invented is the patent store. >> True. >> Where you go to patent and they steal your your knowledge >> because you know even um I was reading on Pythagoras theory. >> Yes. >> On the fact that Pythagoras is not the first person to have used the Pythagoras theory. But but Richie, what what

30:52 theorem did did the ancestors use to build the pyramids? >> Exactly. >> And and mind you, we see people talk about when we talk about pyramids, people only talk about Egypt. Sudan has more pyramid than Egypt. >> Yeah. >> But then there are pyramids in South Africa. >> Mhm. I didn't know that. Okay. I didn't know that >> there are pyramids in Nigeria, the Insud pyramids. >> Okay. Then we can talk about the pyramids that the British deliberately destroyed in Benin. Yeah. So you see I think one reason why they always make the building of the pyramids look so mysterious and say maybe aliens built it or something is I think the biggest theory is that an ancient civilization built the pyramids. We are

31:39 the ancient civilization. Richie, our ancestors were always in contact with what they call the aliens. >> Mhm. >> My my big my big sister had been abducted by aliens before. >> Please tell me more. [laughter] >> Hey, and the conversation just took a turn. [laughter] >> Please. >> My sister, my big sister was abducted for 3 days. >> When you say aliens, please be specific. I don't want it to be >> extraterrestrial beings. >> So beings outside of our world >> outside of our realms. >> Okay. >> So when we when we when we are talking about beings outside of dwarfs and all these entities are outside of our realms. The abusum are all outside of our realms. >> Yeah. Yes. >> So I mean the term alien just means

32:26 anything not from this world. >> Yeah. Not from And we are also [clears throat] aliens cuz we are also not from here. >> Please explain that. Go deeper. Go say things on the surface and end though. Go deeper. Go deeper. We are we are spiritual beings. We are energy. >> This is what you you see here is just a meat jacket. >> Yes. >> It's like rich me meeting you in your car and identifying you with the car. >> True. >> You are not the car. You are the driver of the car. So a time will come the car will get old or the car will get faulty. You will park it and go your way. Just like the body will get old and die and then the driver the soul >> Mhm. >> will just leave and go. >> So what do you believe the soul is then?

33:12 >> The soul the soul is a fractile of what God is. >> Okay. So we are one with God. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> That's that's that's where the deception from Christianity comes in. They separate you from God. >> Yes. So that you are always >> always looking for God. Yes. >> But you can't find it because you are >> cuz it's in there. >> It's why the when you see in the Bible it's why they say when I was sick you didn't give me food. When you didn't come to check on me when I was hungry you didn't give me food. And the person ignorantly said but God when were you sick? Because they in their minds God is being hanged on a dry line like

33:58 >> a white man in the sky with [laughter] a big beard. >> So in their mind God is not you. Yeah. >> So the Bible even refer is telling them that no but you see lack of knowledge >> my people parents >> that's why it is that's why we are Naz said we are sitting on money but >> sorry [laughter] okay so what you are saying is according to African spirituality we've always believed that God is in us we are a part of God. >> Yeah. God is not separate from its creation. >> Mhm. >> Yes. It's why we we give we give reverence to the trees.

34:44 Richie, the Christian will go to church and say God is the giver of the air we breathe. >> Mhm. >> And praise God for that. and then come home and condemn the people that are taking care of the very thing that provides or that produces the air. For instance, our ancestors knew that yes indeed the oxygen we breathe the source is God. >> Mhm. >> But God is not holding a fan that he's fanning and the air is blowing and we are breathing. >> Yeah.

35:30 He has put it in a mechanism. So the rivers produce datoms. >> Okay. >> The datoms generate oxygen. >> The trees also produce oxygen. >> Mhm. >> So your ancestors say for us to get better oxygen to breathe, let's take good care of the rivers and the trees. You are calling them evil when they are the ones giving us life. I recently heard a a pastor went to cut down one tree around the bosom tree. >> Why? >> Because they said that tree had something to do with a confeder. Why is it that we can believe a talking

36:18 snake made two people eat an apple, but we can't believe a confo brought a stool from heaven? It is ignorance. [laughter] It is ignorance. Richie, I've seen my uncle flew from on top from from the ground to the top of our building in our village by just mentioning the name of my Wow. >> Oh. That's wonder you said.

37:08 >> So how how does something like that happen? >> Because everything is energy. >> Okay. >> So in African spirituality what we do is we only manipulate these energies. >> Yeah. >> We your ancestors were alchemist. You see um the seven are chemical science is what is what we use to produce the appetitian things >> distillation. >> Yeah. >> So these people were scientists we only for instance in we we talk about inventions. >> Mhm. >> And then people say how come we are unable to invent things. But the word

37:53 invention simply means discovery. >> True. Because >> the thing they already >> exists >> the things these deities these abosum can expose you to. Rage is beyond the mind. Because you you you hear things in the past about how you know somebody in Africa would look into a pot of water. >> We still do it. >> Uhhuh. and communicate with somebody far away and you are told that is witchcraft despite the fact that the person is transferring energy to speak to somebody and now you take your mobile phone and transfer your energy into that mobile phone and speak to somebody elsewhere

38:38 but you are told that is science >> that's science yes >> it's so amazing you are mentioning this and saying that it's just energy because modern science has found the fact that everything in the world is energy. There's no physical, no everything is energy. >> Energy. That's all there is. >> So they are catching up. >> Imagine Africans clapping for Europeans for doing cloud seeding. >> Mhm. >> When our ancestors used to do this. >> Yeah. >> With no machines. >> Mhm. To stop the rain [laughter] or to make it rain. >> Yes. Manipulation of energy. That's what it is. >> Yeah. And now we've lost all this knowledge

39:24 >> because do you know about do you know about the if the um the language that they had the algorithm that they had in Nigeria the if which when the westerners came the ifa yes thank you when the westerners came they couldn't understand it >> no they can't >> that's why I I said that >> the African spirituality is is too big for them to understand it's it's too deep for them to understand and still as we speak they don't understand it. They have no clue how a deity shift the soul from the human body and possess the human body and use it to communicate. They don't understand it. >> Yeah,

40:09 >> it is beyond their science. But that that is what we deal with. These are bosom are what they call angels. >> Mhm. >> They are energetic. So these abom are water based, some are fire based, some are earth based, some are air based. They are elemental energies. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> So that's why if you go to Greek mythology, you have like Eposeidon who's the god of the sea. You have Yeah. >> They recently I was watching this movie Odysius, right? Mhm. >> But it's it's an African story. >> The Egyptian shipwreck story. >> One day we'll do this story on your show. >> Interesting.

40:54 >> 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] You understand? So, so we we taught them everything. There's this Portuguese uh historian Dati Pacheco Pereira. >> Yep. >> He visited Africa. >> What he's saying is 100% correct. >> The hash key was actually taken from in the Idra temple. >> Yeah. >> Beautiful. >> We gave them everything. That's why that

41:40 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 dingrass SYMBOLS [laughter] [gasps] >> interesting [laughter] >> I [snorts] wanted to quote something from Dati Pacu Pereira >> okay >> he visited Africa in uh 1506 six. And this is what he said about Benin. Benin, he said the city is greater than Lisbon. >> Mhm. >> The houses are well arranged. >> This is this is 1506.

42:26 A Portuguese historian is telling you that Benin was better than Lisbon. >> Lisbon. Yeah. >> But you believe your ancestors were good for nothing. That's why I say I always say it is ignorance. I'll continue. He says this is from Dapa. He wrote this in 1668. The source is the description of Africa. That's from the book. >> Okay. >> He says the streets and he was also talking about the Benin city. >> Mhm. >> He says the streets are straight and very broad. The houses stand in good order. Then some people who haven't visited Africa before turn around and say the Africans were living on trees like we

43:12 were monkeys because I know the Benin city there it amazed them when they came and the fact that the Benin wall is longer than the China war. >> The China war and I ask you why did the Guinness Book of Record delete it? >> Because it was in the Guinness Book of Record. >> Oh, okay. >> Yes. >> And they deleted it. >> Yes. because they're deleting our history. >> Of course, because we are not interested in our history. >> Yeah, >> Richie, I've been doing history 101. >> Uh I I live stream I I stream live for about 5 years now. >> Mhm. >> And you [laughter] look at the number of people that want sometimes the highest we get is 120 people. >> But go and look at the

43:58 shik and things and and look at that. So we Africans we are not interested in Africa. Why everybody is looking for visa to travel outside? >> Yes. And you know one thing I always say is I wish every African will get the chance to travel and see that there's nothing there. [laughter] >> The thing is this when you get there the first thing that hits you is regret. >> Oh yeah. >> But then you are already there. Maybe you've sold everything you you had to get there, so you you can't just come back. >> Africa is an amazing place. >> That's why the But Richie, when a European or an American make money, where do they go to have fun? >> To Africa, the sun. We're at the

44:44 vacation destination. Some time is fun time. [laughter] >> I don't know why we don't think about that. that somebody works so hard outside of Africa, makes money and comes to enjoy here and then you are here thinking what we have is bad. >> Yes, it is the programming. >> Yeah, >> we we've been so badly brainwashed and it has affected every facet of our life. It's it's but but I I thank the universe that I mean people like you have ventured into this discourse because a lot of people I mean value your opinion you understand so when you people like you venture into this space it will help >> uh the youth a lot >> I think what has been done

45:29 systematically too is that anytime people are talking in this space they make it seem like oh they don't know what they are talking about so they just push push that person aside. >> So, you see, I've always had these thoughts, always been interested in these things, but I've not been vocal about it. >> And I realized if I don't speak up >> Mhm. >> who's going to speak up? >> Exactly. >> You know, >> exactly. >> At least if I have a few people who are taking me serious, let me give them something to think about. >> Exactly. >> Let's let's me I want to go deeper into the spirituality part. You mentioned that when you were reading the Bible, you were also comparing it to history. Yes. >> Please, I need to know the Bible and history, do they go together? One of the

46:15 biggest lessons I've learned in life and in business is that not everything deserves access to you. Your attention is valuable. Your focus is valuable. And in this world full of noise and distraction, the ability to control your world is your true power. Links Reverb was designed for premium sound, complete silence, and amazing clarity.

So the Bible were was copied from different sources. >> Mhm.

47:01 >> So for instance, the creation story in the Bible, the Adam and all this whole thing was picked from the Sumerian mythology. >> That's the Anunnaki. >> Yes. So um Adam is Adam or Adapa. >> Okay. Um the creation story according to the the Anunnakis just like I said we are light beings we are light. So they just came and organized the light they slow down the light. >> Okay. >> How the seven days creation story that is where it came from. So when they they came when they landed on earth they use seven days to build their first city which is the city of Eridu. Oh, okay.

47:49 Interesting. >> Yes. So that's where the seven days creation story came from. But then so that's what I always when you want if you want to understand the the context properly, you have to read the Sumerian tablet or the enuma elish. >> The enuma elish. I haven't heard that. Spell it for me. Enuma. >> E n u m a e l i s h. Enuma. >> Yes. >> So that's from the Samrian tablet or that's >> that is h from the from the >> the Sumerianss the Babylon they all the same people just like the h the the Aquamu the Dentras the Asantis they

48:35 allan people. So you find their >> culture and their traditions almost the same. >> So the Sumerianss the they are all the same people. Okay. >> All the same people. Yes. Just like uh Nubia. >> Yes. >> And um this one >> Kush. >> Same people. Yes. >> So you were saying that everything from the Bible was taken from the Samrian tablet or you mean >> not not necessarily everything. So So um the story of of creation >> Mhm. basically existed in every ancient um civilization. >> Yeah. >> And the story is almost the same.

49:23 The Bible couldn't dig deeper into the story well. So may they created a fake version of what the story was. >> Okay. the the the the the entities that were creating humans in the Bible were not God, the God of creation. No, >> they were the Anunnakis. >> Okay. >> Yes. And they didn't create us. They did a modification. >> Okay. >> Yes. When they when they came on Earth, we were not we had not evolved because we were in a process of evolution. >> Mhm. But then they had already enslaved another race from a different star

50:09 system, the Igis. >> The Igis. >> So they brought the the Igis as their laborers to mine for them on Earth. And then the Igis rebel. >> So after the rebellion, they decided, okay, then let us do modification on these people and use them as slaves. >> Interesting. >> Yes. And you know when people hear this story their first thought is that we couldn't have been modified. A lot of people see us and just think we are natural. But when you but let me not catch you but now they are doing modification BBL and what do they think it is? >> I was even going [laughter] to say you know lemons >> were modified by human beings. >> Yes. Carrots

50:55 >> bananas like so many of the things >> we've been doing modification since. >> Thank you. If I look at I have I have a a maltis poodle. >> Yeah. >> And this dog was not there 500. >> Yeah. These animals links and all these animal just >> you [laughter] see. So at the end of the day I don't know why we can't believe that what we've done to other species was also done >> done to us. [laughter] >> I think I think what is what is make those people that are refusing to believe they are the religious they are those that are kneedeep in religion. Mhm. Mhm. >> They find it difficult to accept anything that is outside their religion. >> True. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, I also read that there is no historical evidence of Moses.

51:42 >> Yes. Yes. He never existed. >> Wow. >> He never existed. It was just a ploy to demonize chemt. >> 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 evil. who are you to go and >> but then those people that brought us the book that said the Egyptians were

52:30 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] >> Interesting cuz everything you know I um you know the 42 the 42 >> 42 laws of my art.

53:15 >> 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. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> True. But you know that time God was forgiven. Even though in the garden of Eden he wasn't forgiven. So he's

54:00 punished all of us. [laughter] >> But he forgave Moses. forgive Moses because maybe Moses killed an African. >> Ah, it's true. It's true. It's true. >> And we are not humans. >> Yeah. >> We are monkeys. >> I I've never even understood the concept of God's chosen people. >> Yeah. >> Like why God has created an entire race? >> Yes. >> An entire world and chooses that only these people are my people. >> Well, that's that's also another lie. That's a that's that's uh that's a big lie. This is what happened. Egypt KT had always been a target

54:47 of these people. >> Mhm. >> So the Hixos came and as I said earlier these people they always come and they pretend to be traders. >> Yeah. The hickshocks they also came and they pretended to be traders. We gave them a place to stay and then before we knew they had they wanted to form their own state within the state. >> These are the the people you you call God God's chosen people. And >> I mean basically what is happening in Palestine right now? >> Exactly. And and we hoop their asses and send them packing. >> So when was this? Which which period was this? Uh this this was um in the this was in the seth century BC.

55:35 >> Okay. >> Yes. That's when the Hixos came. They came before uh the Greeks came. Yes. They came before the Greeks came. >> Now the Greeks the Greeks were the ones that translated the Medonet. >> Medunete >> 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 sut the sut means uh savior. >> Okay. >> He inherited

56:22 Kit and and those territories. >> Mhm. So he decided to build a city for his boards. 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, >> his predecessor his uh the person that succeeded him uh >> uh Tommy Filus after the they built the city he built libraries cuz when they came to Kit they saw that the Africans had libraries. So they also decided they want to build libraries they decided to translate all the ancient Egyptian books into the Greek

57:09 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 and everything. That's why the New Testament that everything is in the New is in Greek. the step towards him. >> That's why everything is in in Greek, the New Testament and everything in in is in Greek. They when they picked the the Romans, they didn't take their time or I should say it was a deliberate cuz the Roman the Romans are always about control. They are still controlling the world. People say the Roman Empire is dead, but >> technically I won't say it's the Romans. I'll say it's the Vatican City.

57:55 Well, yeah. [laughter] But let's let's keep quiet before they come for us. [laughter] I'm sorry. Oh, I am joking. No, small joke. Small joke. [laughter] They they built they built three state cities, Washington, >> London, and Vatican. So So Washington is for military. >> Okay. London is for banking and basic is for spiritual >> for spiritual. >> That's how they control. Yeah. >> This realm. >> So, uh you know that the city center of London has its own laws that is separate from

58:41 >> Oh, I didn't know that. >> Yeah. >> The same way Vatican City is a country on its own. >> Yes. That's how they control it. And the world is run on uh um the admirality law. >> Okay. >> That's that's that's water. >> Yeah. The law of the water. >> Mhm. >> Even our monetary system that's money is water. >> Yeah. >> That's why they say how it flows. >> It flows. That's why we keep money in the bank. Rivers have banks. >> Okay. >> That's why money is called currency because water have currents and all that. That's >> interesting. Yes. >> I have to ask this. Hey, I'm asking questions I shouldn't be asking or because you know I've read about the

59:27 Rothschilds. >> Mhm. >> Being investors in London city. Yeah. >> Washington city and Vatican City. Yes. >> The three cities you've mentioned are controlling the world. >> Yeah. >> Let's let's talk about how Islam came into Africa. >> Okay. Well Islam that was around the 9th century. >> And then um the the Ottoman texts >> Yes. >> had taken control of the religion. >> Yeah. >> So they were spreading the religion and then they came into Africa. the northern part of Africa, suppose the supposed northern part of Africa

1:00:13 before they came into Africa. We had history with Muhammad, Prophet Muhammad, peace be unto him. I have a lot of respect for Muhammad. One, because he's a historical figure. >> He He's real. >> Yes. So, someone like that I have respect for because he Yeah. Yes. Aside that that's the Islam is their business. It has nothing to do with Africa. So me I don't do Yes. But then you have to respect people and their choices. But then before Islam would come to Africa. >> The Muslims community in Arabia were being persecuted. >> Okay. >> So they needed a place to stay.

1:01:00 And Muhammad wrote a letter to the Christian Ethiopia because then Ethiopia had been Christianized. Ethiopia became a Christian nation in the fifth century AD through their King. >> Mhm. >> We we'll go to Kana soon. [laughter] after they when they came when they came to uh Aum which is present day Ethiopia. Now let's let's break down the Ethiopia for people to understand. The word Ethiopia simply means people with dark faces. >> Okay. >> It it was given to the entire people of

1:01:46 Africa by the Greeks. >> Okay. The place we call Ethiopia was called Aum. >> Okay. The the Greeks the the the the ocean the Atlantic Ocean the Greeks used to call it Ethiopian ocean. >> So that should tell you that >> the ocean of the blacks basically. So when when uh when they came to a requested that they needed a place for their people to stay because they are being persecuted, the Nagas from Aun accepted them. >> Okay. Before they accepted them, the elders from Arabia

1:02:32 wrote to them and warned the chiefs in Aum about the radicalism of these Muslims and told them not to accept them into their country. Eventually they accepted them. When the Islamic community gained foothold in Axum, they wanted to take over >> but it has already happened. Look at Eritraa and all. Eritra was part of a >> okay >> was part of Ethiop Ethiopia it is because of Islam that's why they broke away from those places you understand so Islam

1:03:18 and one thing that Islam did to Africa for instance is it it it weakened Africa. So one day one day because when we we fought it >> okay >> we didn't accept it we fought it the places that accepted Islam were conquered by the Ottoman texts >> they when they conquered the Afrey people and the and the mos conquered the mos and the fani people >> when they conquered the fani people their leader Utman Danfodu became the African the first African jihadist. >> Oh okay.

1:04:03 >> You see Richie if you don't take that now you can't differentiate between full arises and houses. >> Yeah it's almost the same >> but they are not the same. The fan had their land. >> Mhm. >> And the houses also had their states. >> Okay. like Kaduna, Kitina and all these places those were houseser lands but Utman Dodio under the umbrella of Islam conquered the houses >> and through that the houses became Muslims. >> Okay. >> So even now when you go into deep into the houseser communities they are being ruled by the fan fulanis.

1:04:49 >> Okay. >> Yes. So, I was I was amazed when I learned about the Ottoman Empire cuz that was one thing I wasn't educated on. Yeah. >> And I wondered why I wasn't educated on the Ottoman Empire. Then when I did my research and I realized how powerful they were and the fact that they spread Islam. Yes. >> Then I understood that okay because I was educated by Europeans who spread Christianity, they didn't see a need to educate me on the people who spread Islam. >> Islam. Yes. So for instance when the Europeans came into Africa because the the Ottoman texts and the Arabs had already been here >> they formed alliance with them. >> Okay. >> Yes. They they the the the slave trade for

1:05:36 instance the Arabs were the first that started it. >> Oh then we got the Christians and the Muslims to unite against [laughter] us. That's not bad at all. The Arabs. The Arabs were the ones that started it. >> Mhm. >> The reason why you don't you don't see a lot of black people in the Arabic world is that they castrated many of the male slaves. >> Oh, >> yes. >> I did not know this. >> They castrated many of their black slaves and so they couldn't reproduce. Wow. >> Yes. >> So here we were thinking that so it's the Europeans and the Americans who you

1:06:23 know they were the only ones who took part in the African slavery. But it's just that we we have evidence cuz they didn't castrate. >> Yes. >> Oh, interesting. I have to I have to read more on this. >> Yes. >> Mind busting. >> Yeah. >> And they they they actually wanted to spread it into the interiors. Yeah. uh they it is stopped at the Mali Empire. That is what led to many of the Akan people to to flee from the Mali Empire. >> Okay. Towards >> into the interior. >> Yeah. >> Yes. Cuz when we when we we used we we used to inhabit the northern part of Africa. >> Mhm. KT

1:07:09 uh Nubia what we the place we we now call Israel was part of Kit. >> Okay, >> that was uh uh uh that that was northern Kmet. >> That was southern Kemet. Now, now let us look at this thing. The southern Kmet is the northern part. >> So you're right about it being upside down. >> Yes. That's what that's why when when when you are talking about the Exodus the Exodus story for instance if you want to situate it in rightful con context when our ancestors decided to leave those place >> Mhm. They came when you read the Bible

1:07:55 they say they went to the north but that's that's here >> as the south. >> Yes. >> So in Kit south is north is south. It's why the river flows to that side the Mediterranean. >> Mhm. >> Cuz you mostly the seas are at the nor the southern side. >> Yeah. >> Yes. So where the Mediterranean Sea is is the southern side. That's why the the KT the ancient Egyptian they called that place southern Kmet and the place that is closer to Nubia as northern KT. >> Northern Kmet. >> Yes. >> H okay. Now we've spoken about how Islam came into we

1:08:40 >> Africa. >> For the Islam we have to we have to do an episode >> full on >> full episode. Yes. >> Hey, I mean there's more >> there's more cuz we have to do quotes. >> Yeah. >> For people to understand >> the for instance they they just didn't come. They murdered people. >> Yeah. >> So we have to do all that for people to understand what really happened. >> Mhm. >> And and then if they want to continue to kill people for these people then it is up to them >> cuz a lot of people do not know. >> They don't know what they are following. Yes. >> You understand? And I always tell people the religion that you want to kill your fellow black man for, you were forced into it. >> Mhm. >> Even your parents forced you. >> Yeah. Because they were also forced into

1:09:26 it. So it's like we passed down the forcing. >> You'll be w you they wake you up early in the morning to go and pray. >> Yeah. >> You didn't like it, >> but you are doing it to your children. >> Mhm. >> We hated it as children. >> Yes. And then now >> and then we're doing it to our children. So the cycle continues. >> Yeah. >> And and I also believe that this is why slavery ended because they realized that they had passed on the torch to us. We would enslave ourselves. They didn't need to stay here to enslave us anymore. >> That that that is true. Another thing was that the trade became no longer lucrative. >> Okay. Why? because there there was a lot

1:10:13 of rebellion >> okay >> from the slaves. So imagine spending a lot of money to come and buy slaves >> and in the middle of the ocean the slaves rebel and and and sink the the the the fleet. >> So you are losing a lot of money >> and then back in the Americas the slaves were rebelling in the plantations. >> Mhm. >> So they decided nah this >> we need a new strategy. >> We need a new strategy. We have to work on their minds for them to use their money and and and come there and work for us. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> A lot of times when we are talking about development Richie they they they are deliberately underdeveloping Africa.

1:10:59 >> Mhm. >> And our incompetent incompetent politicians are also buying into it. Richie imagine you having a pot of gold sitting in your farm, but you are home. You and your children are homeless. And then you went to a big man to borrow money to build a house for your children. And the big man says, "Riy, I will give you the money, but how are you going to pay me the money you want me to borrow you?" And you say, "Oh, I have good. I will sell the good and use the proceeds to pay you." And

1:11:47 the big man says, "No, that's not good. Why don't you tax your children and use that money to pay me?" So that is the system. African Africa is being run on. >> Mhm. >> Instead of leveraging on our natural resources >> Yeah. >> to build this continent. The very same Europeans who need our natural resources to build their continent are telling us that we should tax the already impoverished people. How does that make sense? when there's something stronger that we can use >> the Dubai and all these places that our incompetent politicians run to.

1:12:32 >> Mhm. >> When they have stomach upset, [laughter] >> they built Dubai with their crude oil, not from taxes. >> Yeah. So what what in God's name do these so-called educated people think that they can build Africa with taxes? >> These people are not even working. We you already have unemployed graduate association. >> Yeah. >> Are you going to tax the unemployed people? >> What what do you think is is causing our politicians to not be able to get over this hurdle? Is it is it that they are being controlled? The thing is this any African leader

1:13:18 who will boldly say I want to develop Africa either you are going to be assassinated or the west is going to sponsor the opposition party against you. >> Yes. So then if you want to stay in power Yes.
