Culture / Happy Bakor New Yam Festival by donnie(m): 9:13pm On Sep 15 |
Today September 15th The Bakor Nation celebrates the New Yam Festival. This is the origin of the biblical Feast of Firstfruits. Even the Hebrew word for “feast” (khag H2282) is from the Nkem Bakor Ejagham word for feast, “ikag”. Yam is regarded as the king of crops, a miraculous plant, representing fertility and abundance. The festival is our way of thanking the Creator for sustaining us through the planting season and offering the first harvest back to God and our ancestors. This is the true beginning of the year, and it is my honor to wish you a Happy Iyel-anfenfe (Happy New Yam) 1 Share

Olu317: Who are the “people” that claimed? Prove to me that this is not the first time you’re reading this about Alpha and Omega. It seems that instead of agreeing with your fellow black man, you will rather that the Alpha and Omega Christians call on is a Bull (like you said) and not THE WORD. And what do you call “solid” evidence? To know the truth, you will first have to agree that most of what you have today as history is lies, half truths and coverups to suit an agenda. What I shared in the OP is just a tip of the iceberg and it ‘s for a reason. |

Olu317: That fake Hebrew you pride yourself in was created in the 19th century by a man named Eleazer Ben Yahiuda. Is that what you call ancient? You can go on the internet and read volumes and still be as blind and empty as anything if the ancestors do not open your eyes. Arabic, Paleo Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, English etc. all borrowed (or stole) from our languages. So do not be surprised when I show you stuff. Bro, we are not living on in the same plain. Our ancestors civilized the world and I can prove it. You mentioned Greek and Hebrew, assuming like you were taught in school that they were white people or that they’re the origin of philosophy or knowledge. Is this what you bring to an argument with me? They lied to you and did not tell you that the Greeks we read about in school went to Egypt to learn. And it’s our people who took knowledge to Egypt. We are the reason that land was called Kemet (I know you were told Kemet means black land, so save your preaching lol). The Greek writer Homer wrote about the Blameless Aethopians dwelling where the sun sets (West Africa) and he said that’s where the gods went to feast. Aethiopia here is not to be mistaken for today’s Ethiopia which was called Abyssinia centuries ago. Aethiopia was used to refer to most of the land of Subsaharan Africa. Also it is said that those who civilized Egypt came from Atlantis. They say that Atlantis is fictional, or that it was buried, but we know where it is. The Atlantic leads all the way to Atlantis. The writings about Atlantis and Sumer were about our people, even though they whitewashed them, just like they did to Bible characters. There is proof everywhere, in language, culture, oral history, artifacts, spirituality etc that we civilized the world! And these Egyptians were black people, not half caste. Even the earliest Greeks were black before they became white. If you’re here in defense of your Yoruba tribe, also be clear about that so we don’t waste our time. |

RedboneSmith: You read books written by colonizers or their stooges and think you know something. I don’t need any of those books even though I’ve read a lot of them. Including books written in the 1500s to 1700s. You don’t have a clue about anything besides what your colonizers told you and how they told you. Even the earliest Greek and Phoenician speakers were blacks from Africa. Whites did not show up until around 500BC. But in your ignorance you think I’m drawing conclusion from books. Go and ask Catherine Acholonu center what they discovered in Ejagham land. I was told by the curator at the Bakor monoliths site that when Prof Catherine Acholonu visited, she confessed that Ejagaham land is the place of Origin. And I am telling you today that Ejagham land is the origin of creation and civilization. That’s where the Bakor monoliths are situated. From language, to Agriculture to irrigation etc. The first writing (Nsibidi) was created in Ejagham land and taught to their neighbors Efiks, Ibibiios and Igbos. -Chinua Achebe. What Ejagham actually shared was Ngbe, a whole civilization. So stop fooling yourself. You have not met my type before. And I gave you Igbo references for a reason. If you’re Edo, I can show you things you never knew. Even words you got from us. |

RedboneSmith: Name one OUTSIDE black people i mentioned in my OP. All of those great black civilizations were made great by people who left our land taking knowledge with them. Even Egypt was colonized and civilized by people from our land. That you have been served white people’s witchraft shouldn’t make you think you can project same here. With all the jargon’s you claim to have learned, all you have left is self hatred, jealousy and contempt for your fellow black man (that’s if you even are one).

Olu317: You don’t tell me what and what not to quote. So you think I have not read your so-called classic Hebrew? What you need brother is a decolonization of your mind. I have long passed this level of discussions. Here you are depending 100% on Paleo Hebrew a modern language and trying to disprove Ejagham. a language spoken by those who’s ancestors were the gods referred to in the writings about ancient civilizations. Now, to your submission… First, Aleph is the Ox, not bull. Even the word you used there (Elefon meaning bull) is from the Nkem Ejagham word “mfoñ” meaning bull. Ale, as earlier mentioned, is the ancient root of the Phoenician/Paleo-Hebrew word Aleph, from where the Greek Alpha was derived. Ale is an Nkem (Bakor Ejagham) word and means “they said”. Aleph, being the first letter of the Paleo-Hebrew Alphabet is depicted with the symbol of the Ox. Why the Ox? Renowned for its strength and endurance, the ox serves as a symbol of hard work and determination. They can use their strength to pull heavy wagons and heavy machinery. Its unwavering perseverance and ability to labor tirelessly through challenging tasks make it an emblem of resilience and tenacity. Now, don’t these describe the power of Ale (they said/ the Word)? It will SURELY come to pass. |
Culture / The African Roots of The Words Alpha & Omega by donnie(m): 11:31pm On Aug 07 |
Ale is the root for the Phoenician/Paleo-Hebrew “Aleph” from where the Greek “Alpha” was derived. Ale means “they said” in the language of the Nkem Ejagham (Bakor) people. Umega is the root for the Greek Megas/Omega (meaning great/mighty) from where the English “mega” was derived. Umega means “you have grown (become great/mighty)” in the Nkem Ejagham language. Because “Alpha and Omega” are the first and last letters respectively in the Greek alphabet, the expression is often interpreted as “beginning and ending”. However, “Ale Umega” provides a more accurate interpretation as it captures the essence of the Word spoken and its manifestation. Ale (Alpha), meaning “they said”, agrees with John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word… ”Ale => They said => The Word . Umega => you have grown (become great/mighty). Isaiah 55:10-11 describes the process… “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

The Demonization Of Ikom Monoliths And Christianization Of Cross River By Agba Jalingo As the uproar continues over the demolition of the replica of the Ikom monoliths at Zone 6 roundabout in Calabar, and its replacement with the sculpture of Jesus the Good Shepherd, Crossriverwatch today sent a team to Alok, the original sites where the monoliths were found. Government aparachiks have continued to insist that Jesus must reign over our State and everything that represents idolatry, in their judgment, must be brought down. Now what exactly is the bone of contention? The stone monoliths of Alok in Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State, originally consisted of around 400-450 engraved standing stones of varying heights between one to two meters, distributed around thirty communities, and are thought to be up to 3000 years old. The carved stones are grouped in circles facing each other. They bear a form of writing and a complex system of codified information. According to the United Nation's World Heritage site, "Although they seem to share the same general features, each stone, like the human finger print, is unique from every other stone in its design and execution. They are similar in arrangement and ordering to the Stone Circles in the Gambia, but unique in their complexity of design and interpretation. Like most rock art works in Africa, like the one in Tanzania, the Ikom monoliths could be West Africa's answer to the United Kingdom's Stonehenge monoliths. "The geometric images on the monoliths suggest that their makers possessed more than a basic knowledge of mathematics, not only because they are geometric, but also because of the obvious implication that there were computations and numbers on the layout of the stones. While the images and texts carved on the monoliths remain undeciphered, researchers and linguists believe that the inscriptions represent a prehistoric form of writing and visual communication." An environmental study of the site identified the most immediate threats to the stones to include, neglect, effects of weathering, erosion, exposure to heavy rainfall, extreme heat and sun, biological attack caused by high humidity, damage from falling trees, theft, vandalism, local agricultural practices such as bush burning. The threats have depleted the number of the stones and there are now estimated to be less than 250, with many having been distributed amongst major museums throughout the world. Because of these threats, in 2007 the monoliths were added to the World Monuments Fund’s list of sites in danger and are being considered for inclusion into UNESCO’s World Heritage Site list. The Stonehenge monoliths generated more than £30m in tourism income to the UK, in the past five years, according to Tourism Minister John Penrose on BBC. An average of £6m annually. Tanzania is ramping efforts to open up the 'Rock Arts' in Kondoa to increase tourism revenue and Gambia has completed plans to massively promote the 'Rock Circles' of Senegambia, to also boost tourism revenue. But, the attempt at Christianizing Cross River State by our new leader, is not only demonizing our monoliths, it is threatening the value and history behind the famous Ikom monoliths. The replica of the monoliths which was erected at the Zone 6 roundabout in Calabar, by the Duke administration was meant to draw attention and tourists to the original sites. Like putting an advertorial bill board on a highway or at the airport. It was meant to arouse curiosity in both indigenes and visitors to our State, of the existence of a pre-historic civilization and academia in our State, that is older than the birth of Christ, and draw them to the original site with a view to generating tourism income. But that replica has been destroyed and replaced with the sculpture of Jesus the Good Shepherd. While the monoliths in Ikom are threatened by environmental and human factors, the replica in Calabar has been demolished by the antics of political gerrymandering. What is the policy behind the demolition of our roundabouts or is it just a spur of the moment reaction? When was this policy proposed, debated and approved? Who proposed the policy and what was the reasoning that enabled its approval? What is the basis for replacing the image of the monoliths with that of Jesus the Good Shepherd? What exactly will be the value of the new statue to us? Does the erection of religious statues increase the godliness of the people? Will the new religious statues springing up in Calabar stop our leaders from stealing our money and make them govern us well? Will these statues survive beyond Governor Otu's administration if his successor isn't interested in the Christianization agenda or are we going to continue wasting tax payers money on statues in every administration? Are those who harbor and are implementing this agenda aware that there are Cross Riverians who are not Christians? Were these leaders voted to govern us or to teach us God? Can these leaders tell us a roundabout in Israel, the holy land, that is decorated with the statue of Jesus? I just say make I ask.

So, the idol white Jesus has been used to replace the Bakor monoliths sculptures in the capital city of Calabar. Isho and our ancestors allowed this to happen so as to draw our attention to the original stones and what we must do, not only to preserve them, but to lift them up before the world. Since the world has chosen to hide the truth about us and about this world so that evil can prevail, it is time for the stones to cry out. Habakkuk 2:11 "...For the stone will cry out from the wall..." Luke 19:40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” The Bakor monoliths are proof that we are the origin and founders of civilization. Ignore the "200 AD" lie told by white people. #atal #atlantis #eridu #ejagham #bakor #monoliths |
