What is a Human Being? What is a (Wo)man?
The question, “What is a Human Being?” is akin to the question, “What is a (Wo)man?” The Woke Political activists amongst the Globalist Neoliberals, who are now gallivanting the entire planet with their newfound Gospel, have teased both questions almost simultaneously when discussing issues about “Identity.”
I leave the discussion for “What...
Why Is The African Family So Complex?
NTOABOMA (GHANA). I wrote about the demanding expectations of raising first-borns (boys or girls) by an Ewe Mother in West Africa. Many other societies in Africa, can relate in a general way, to the principles of requiring more from first-borns in a traditional African family, especially where there's a significant age-gap among siblings.
Why...
The Metha & The Negotiables.
NTOABOMA—Traditionalists identified two main things about a society: (1) The Negotiables, things they can do away with and (2) The Non-Negotiables, things they cannot do away with lest they cease to exist. To this point the Non-negotiables are key to understanding any society: they are existential.
Take for instance, the Ewes of Ntoaboma: (1) certain foods...
The Game: Sit Somewhere - To Stop or to Discipline.
We were sitting somewhere minding our own business and West came and said, let's play a game. We said, “Sure, why not?” And so we decided to go fetch our own balls.
Then West said, "No, no, no, I have balls we can all share!" We agreed and started the game....
Romanticize Africa. Do it. Everyday!
NTOABOMA (GHANA): One constant criticism I receive when I write to defend Ntoaboma Culture/Religion and Political Life is that I romanticize African tradition.
Another way to put this is that they claim I embellish the facts of African life and works. Which is true. I do. So what?
When I say my wife is the most beautiful...
Your Gender Wars Don't Play Too Well in Ntoaboma.
NTOABOMA: In Ntoaboma, an Ewe Mother for instance, forces her first child, boy or girl (no matter), to become her second in command. You will cook, fetch water, bath your siblings, lotion them down, put them to bed and keep the...

The Metha Despises Africa for what She Will Not Become.
I have seen and read, with grotesque trepidation, some of the stories spinning out of several Euro-American news outlets about Tobi Amusan, her father and the general so-called debilitating sporting (plus all) atmosphere in Nigeria.

Western Imperialism and Democracy in Africa.
The very idea of imperialism and democracy in the same statement is a contradiction in terms. No matter, so long as the western elites dictate the terms, all ideas become democratic, by default, and for that matter, even without challenge!
It doesn't end here. The...
Balkanization.
The Mis-Educated Than His Ancestors (the Metha) in Africa are more likely to pontificate and drool over Euronakkkzi-Amerikkka's balkanization of African states as a major historical event, and not as a catastrophe per se.
Hell, some of the Metha, particularly the Afrosaxons and the Afrogauloises defend Africa's balkanization as the...
