Spirit Is The Esssence

The projection of our Afrikan personality is not essentially determined by materialism, but by our values, norms, culture, identity, spirituality and national consciousness, though material is also an important factor. Thats why it's important for us Afrikan people to link up and connect ourselves with our pre colonial history and reality, so to be able to overcome the present spiritual, psychological and cultural colonial boundries and trappings which are destructive to our collective Afrikan aspirations. Many of our people have managed to live beyond the imagination of our oppressors, liberating themselves from alienation and serfdom, because they have centred their existence wholistically in Afrika, thus becoming a threat to the interests of the colonialists. I'm one of those who agree with Cheik Anta Diop that it is necessary for Afrikan people to be connected with the ancient Nile valley civilisation, culture, psychology and spirituality, the present Afrikan reality and the Afrika yet to come, for us to attain our Afrikan personality. Izwe Lethu! Uhuru!
