  Did you know that Ethiopians trained Lions to capture the soldiers of the enemy and fought side by side with Cheetahs,bees,elephants and lions? Ethiopian soldiers with their fighting lions. The Ethiopians went to war with dangerous animals and insects such as bees, wasps, lions, elephants or cheetahs trained to capture the soldiers of the enemy camp, which enabled them to win all the wars of colonization against them and to be the only country in the world to have never been colonized. At the battle of Adowa Ethiopian warriors skilled in sword fighting called Shotel destroyed the invading Italian soldiers in hand to hand combat.

DNA shows that we “the people” were everywhere first!! Not just going from status but with bodies and artifacts. Tools, clothing… I’m not saying that everyone is right but there is more truth then myth. That's not exactly how it works. While humanity came from us, we were moving around for thousands upon thousands of years in different climates. In those climates we changed. We no longer looked like ourselves over thousands of years. It would basically be like saying that all humans today are black.. Which technically is true.. But we don't see that that way at all. ALL lands, waters and stars in the heavens are named for BLACK ancestors. Whites practice black science, religion, astrology, speak native languages etc. The acceptance of the whites in Europe caused us to be minority in those lands. Because they spread diseases that we had no immunity too. The Original gods of Europe are ÆTHIOPIAN Zeus(Father)= RA(creator) and his son Apollo! as surviving Europeans ...

  While the British tabloid press created a fictional title for their comedy demonizing Ugandan leader President Idi Amin, the reality about their own unelected Monarchy remains well hidden from public scrutiny. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England is the largest landholder in the world. She has 6.6 billion acres of land in her name. She is the Queen of 16 countries in total where she has never been elected by the indeginous peoples. I was shocked to discover that all dolphins and whales within 3 miles of the United Kingdom shores are by law owned by Elizabeth. Under British law, she also owns all the swans in the River Thames. I never thought such ridiculous claims could still exist in the 21st century. Unlike everybody else on the planet, the Queen is the only person who has given herself power to drive any vehicle without a license. In fact all UK driving licenses are issued in the Queens name, both in the UK and in all the 16 countries she controls. So that's her excuse no...

  'The dominant globalism of the nineteenth century was colonialism with its dynamics as the conquest, commerce, and sometimes civilization (mission)' (Myers 2017:56). In this section, globalization and its influence will be discussed with a focus on Africa from the perspectives of Myers (2017) in his book,   Engaging globalization . Globalization  is known as colonialism in the third world for several centuries and is even today seen 'as a globalization by a minority' (Myers 2017:40). Bosch (1991:305-306) reflects on the relationship between colonialism and mission, quoting statements such as: 'To colonize is to missionize', and referring to the three 'C's' of colonialism, namely Christianity, commerce and civilization. It is clear that, within our previously stated understanding of spirituality, we may speak of globalization as a form of spirituality to be found also in the specific context of Africa. Many white and black people in Southern Africa ...

  Some scientists view Africa as the mother continent of the entire world's people. Africa has a very rich heritage of what previous generations of African people thought, did, experienced and passed on to their children. However, this heritage is not uniform. Mbiti (1991:4-10) describes the heritage under the following three headings: firstly, historical heritage - where he describes African life in general; secondly, the cultural heritage - the way people act and live as well as their physical and intellectual achievements; and thirdly, he refers to religious heritage. He indicates that religious heritage may also be viewed as culture. According to the researcher, these three distinctions are so closely related that it can be captured under the umbrella term   spirituality . Spirituality is not always religious but is always concerned with the quest for meaning of life. When such a quest involves an explicit reference to God or the Divine, then that spirituality is religious...

  A couple was invited to a masked costume Halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed, and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going. So he took his Batman costume (mask) and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain, and, as it was still early, decided to go to the party. In as much as her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. She put on a Goldilocks costume (mask). So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband enjoying himself on the dance floor, dancing with every nice woman he cuddled and occasionally giving a little kiss here and there. His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive woman herself, his husband left his new pa...

  A man was dating three women and wanted to decide who to marry. He then gave them a test. He gave each woman $10,000 and observed what each did with the money. The first one did a total make-over which included a fancy hair style, make up and several new outfits. She then dressed up for the man and said, "I have done this to make myself more attractive to you because I love you so much." The man was impressed. The second woman went and bought gifts for the man. She bought him a new smartphone, a Rolex watch and very flashy clothes. As she presented these gifts to him she said, "I've spent all the money on you because I love you so much." The man was again impressed. The third one invested the money in the stock market. She earned $40,000 and gave him back his $10,000. She then deposited the remainder in a joint account. She told him that she wanted to secure their future because she loved him so much. Obviously the man was very impressed. The man thought for a...
