Liberating ourselves and the altar from spiritual colonization is not folklore activism; it is political, and it is a macro‑economic strategy. Spiritual liberation leads to the recirculation of wealth within Ghana’s own soil, and dismantles foreign political control over Ghana. As Ɔbenfo Kambon reminds us, “Imported ritual materials are the front door through which foreign control keeps walking back in.” Let us seal that door and open another toward prosperity.

A sharp example of liberation to elevation.

Just started reading and it reminded me of my old PhD Supervisor’s inaugural lecture: https://babilown.com/2012/02/10/use-ghanaian-languages-for-national-cohesion-and-development-prof-osam/ “Of Cocoa, Cassava and Chocolate: The Dilemma of an African Linguist” basically he mentioned the cocoa to chocolate value chain as something that serves the needs of others, and cassava as that which the people themselves actually use and eat as a metaphor for foreign languages vs. indigenous languages (he didn’t note/know that cassava isn’t indigenous (nor is cocoa), but point taken in terms of actual usage).
This is part of why I’m interested in moringa baq as it was known in classical Kmt. It has the potential for economic growth as well as serving our own needs. Great read thus far and glad someone is listening, thinking, and applying.

Definitely. Check the research of @Black-Talawah on the connections between starch, glucose, and cancer growth.

@obadelekambon Meda w’ase, Ɔbenfo. Great feedback. I really appreciated Ɔbenfo Osam’s words, the ” utilitarian approach” is exactly what Im talking about. Nana Kwabena and the Temple of Nyame elders refer to this as Liberation Theology.(https://www.templeofnyame.org/about)
Thank you for paving the way as a thought leader. You addressed some critical points in your interview on Spiritual Colonization that helped me frame my perspective on cocoa in Ghana.
