Thanks for letting me know

The song in the intro takes me back to my dad’s record player. The song is called “Twer Nyame” by CK Mann.

We have to ask why clans grouped to form “tribes.” In the case of the Asantes, clans joined forces to overthrow an oppressive power, while others grouped around bloodlines or consolidated to grow their empire.
As we embrace Pan-Africanism, we need to switch our mindset on how we view our groups.
Pan-Africanism is the highest expression of African thought, so I like the term KMTW, Abibifoɔ, or any indigenous word that describes us as a people. I identify as an Ɔbibini, and the clan I’m born into provides me with the tools I need to live a purpose-driven life.
When you study the Wisdom of various African ethnic groups, you see common themes, i.e., listen, be just, treat your neighbors well, treat strangers like family, work hard, etc. Nothing about mistreating strangers, hostility, genocide, or being closed-minded to strangers. As a matter of fact, there’s an Akan proverb that says,
“Nyansa yɛmfa no faako,” or “Wisdom is not contained in one place.”
Therefore, if I go amongst the Bakongo people and learn about the Dikenga, I can take it back to my land and use it to better my life and community. Amongst certain groups in Africa, you’ll find that they’ve embraced “Divinities” from other ethnic groups, and that’s an example of cultural and spiritual Pan-Africanism in action.
