Will it solve Nigerians problems?
Will it reduce the cost of things in the market?
I don't know how it will move Nigeria forward.
These lecturers in Nigeria are not feeling fine, of all the things people can study, is witchcraft and Ifa is the course a human being says people should study.
Wonders shall never end

The first decolonisation is to stop calling our ancient spiritual knowledge “witchcraft”.

It’s a stupid English term that demonises the spiritual sciences.

Our ancestors called it the Mysteries.

You may call it the Occult, which means ‘hidden knowledge’.

The Occult is neither good nor bad. It is like a knife. You can use it for good or for ill.

What it really is is learning about accessing the non-material universe, and the various energies that populate that space, and how to manipulate such energies in our favour.

Such knowledge is VITAL, because the physical world we can access with our five senses as humans, is less than 2% of Reality.

The other 98% is what scientists refer to as ‘dark matter’. That’s where ‘heaven’ is, and where God and other beings, including so-called ‘dead people’ reside, all very much ALIVE and thriving.

When you study the Mysteries, you learn about, and even gain access to that realm. Use knowledge from there to influence your reality here.

If we weren’t mentally colonised to hate our heritage, by now we would have summoned our great traditional priests to decipher the source of our problems through DIVINATION, and how to fix them.

ONE DAY WE WILL WAKE UP FROM OUR SLUMBER, AND DROP THAT STUPID BIBLE AND KORAN FOREIGNERS USED TO DECEIVE US AND STEAL FROM US, and become AFRICANS again.

The don also asked UNILAG specifically to run courses that will lead to the award of degrees in Lagoon and Sea Economies and also create a center of creative economies and African vocabulary development and enlightenment bank.

He emphasized that the decolonization of African education would certainly bring about meaningful transformation in Nigeria and other African countries. “And the time to scale up the process is now,” he concluded.
~~~~~~
My take on this:

The renowned U.S.-based Prof. Toyin Falola (Prof. Falola is the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair at the University of Texas at Austin) made a lot of valid points on his speech. The Chinese and other Asians have decolonized their own education system as well by using their languages for teaching and are doing well technologically. The Chinese and Indians have become space-age superpowers haven sent astronauts into outer space within the last 10 years and these are based on their domestication of time-tested knowledge and Asian spiritual philosophies.

Same has to be done in Nigeria and Africa.

Kushites:


Why did Europeans not invent mathematics, writing, medicine, the calendar, mining of minerals, iron smelting, architecture, astronomy, alchemy, and philosophy, and had to depend on black Africans?

And if you are too thick to know that these were all black African inventions, without which there would be no modern world today, it’s no wonder you and your ilk feel so blasted inferior to other races.

The whites you worship like a slave are NEWCOMERS to civilisation, who were cave-dwelling savages when Africans were civilising the world. It was ONLY their use of Chinese gunpowder mixture to make firearms in the 17th century that allowed them to go round the world, killing, raping, enslaving, looting, and colonising nations that were beyond their reach for thousands of years prior.

So NOTHING makes them superior to anyone apart from their being greedy, selfish, ruthless opportunists, who care about no one else but themselves.






Keep fooling yourself.

All this claims have be refuted.

Blacks invented no shit, stop living in a bubble.
