History


ORIGIN







The of Africa, is a Movement that has its origin at a tertiary institution level.



The original founding fathers of the NBM of Africa were nine (9) undergraduates of the University of Benin.



They were; John Okogie, Nicholas Idemudia, Tokonbu Brown, Uche Alumona, Marvel Akpoyibo, Olagungu Ojo, Gbolahon Dosunmu, Bernard Ojishua and Godwin Ehigiator. The pioneer patron of the movement then was Professor Onwuejiogwu (a professor of History and Anthropology).



The premise on which the NBM of Africa was formed was intrinsically to check and balance the seemingly nuances of inequalities and social injustices that are prevalent with the human race.



Thus our founding mantra has remained in line as a Movement that has and will continue to fight for equality and social justice for all.



Presently, as a corollary of enacted vague laws of the FGN in regards to any form of associations presence in tertiary institutions, the NBM of Africa as a law abiding entity had to shut down all activities at the tertiary institution level.



However the NBM of Africa has metamorphosed in the past three decades from a tertiary fraternity to a reputable Global Movement with presence in Africa, North and South America, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Asia and the Middle East.



With an estimated global membership of about thirty thousand (30,000) professionals of diverse backgrounds.



The NBM of Africa is a legally registered non profit organization in the FGN under the purview of the Corporate Affairs Commission

​

OBJECTIVES




The objectives of the Movement as originally articulated by the pioneer members were:

1. The redirection of all minds towards Black Realism and Determinism and the inculcation of discipline in the individual both in the body and mind.



2. The prevention of all acts that seek to tarnish the image of the Black people.



3. To seek and conduct research into African Traditional religion.



4. The publication of a regular magazine called the Uhuru, which would serve as the mouthpiece of the movement.

5. To co-operate and exchange ideas with other organisations whose objectives were similar to ours.





IDEOLOGY


The ideology of the movement was Neo-Blackism, which was a complex mix of Intellectual Radicalism, Pan Africanism, Negritude, African Traditional Religion(ATR) practice and research, Fraternal Relations.



The Neo-Black Movement believed in equality and brotherhood of all races and men.



It did not encourage or seek to propagate any teachings or acts of supremacy or the practice of any forms of inequality in any variation based on race, religion, socio-political affiliations, sex, tribe or tongue.



The movement adopted a Motto, which was to serve as it

guiding principle “Whenever there is a cry of oppression, Neo-Blackism begins”.

Useless Lies

Useless Lies

Any proof?

NBM is rebranding, that's nice.
The professionals and intellectuals are taking back the movement from thugs and killers.

A case of what I ordered verse what I got.

So, do self assessment on how you have been able to achieve those objectives set. In my thinking, you guys have been on reverse reaction, acting very un-African in you acts and ideology.

So, own up and tell yourself that you have failed, both your organization, Africa and humanity.

Just to add, any adult up to 18 and above that is still fooling himself in those gangsteric display of madness should consider himself an slowpoke. In this current world where people are facing a global competition, only a fool will be running in and out of the bush to express his arrival and a man or woman.

Let me even ask, has any of you tried to check who becomes the "Jew man" at the end. Funny enough, 5 years after, the Jew man becomes the strong man, while the "kimkoms" become beggerly shamelessly.
Idiocy!!!

When a broken child from a messed family speaks, you will always know. Peter I know, Paul I know, you who are you.

You are mentioning David and the rest of them, who are you. Try all you can, if you think you can only survive through mob action or by looking for who to ride under his shadow, then sorry to you.

Just ask your big brother, because I know you are still a kid, ask him to make a list of his course mates and find out among them who have evolved higher years after graduation. Go and let him advice you. I know you are very insecure and you are looking for acceptance or where you can force people to see you as strong. Grow up kid.
