The Alaafin.
This post, does very much have to do, and with speak truly, and of Tradition, and of what it does embody too that is. For Tradition in all, and as with regards and to speak of the African Oracle, does in all even speak of the term Aki, and while it is often said to speak of Courage, one cannot help but feel that, Aki, does in all even embody speak of the Immortal, and if not speak of Ethos/Character too that is.
In understanding the above better, is to now speak of Africa, and as said in trouble, and from speak too, and of Tradition that is. That Tradition, and as with regards and to speak of the African Oracle, is now said to arise, and with speak too of the Yoruba Title of the Alaafin, and as with it a Title, and that does associate Tradition, and with speak of Occupation in itself too that is [and speak too perhaps, and of a said Ifa Tradition, and that does now attempt to associate many a person, and with the Work/Occupation simply said truly best for them]. The very world of the Alaafin though, is probably not known well to most, and in speak of Occupation too, but according to some Scholars, and such as Ali Mazrui too, the belief that, a certain said Malian Emperor, Mansa Bukari II, is believed said to have attempted, or did truly in all, cross over to the Americas, and in the name of Trade too perhaps, but something believed said somewhat pretentious or outlandish, and by some, and in speak too of recorded History, and as certain said Maritime Historians in all, do in all again associate the discovery of America, and with Christopher Colombus in himself too that is. What is been said here though, is that, such Myths, and as speaking of Tradition now, now are said best perceived and from speak too of Occupation, and not Exploration or Empire/Expansion either that is.
In many a way, speak now and of the discovery of Africa, and by many a person outside to it, and as often said European too, should now best speak of Tradition in itself, and not Expansionism truly either. That in better understanding this, speak now and of Europe and in Tradition in all, and as said whole or singular too, and as defined by Tradition, and that does speak of the Four Great Inventions, and as with they in all even said truly Greek, and not Chinese truly either [for it was Alexander the Great, and who did in all invent Asia that is]. In all, European History as often presented and from speak of the Four Great Inventions, does now associate it and with speak of Paper-Making, and in further speak too now and of European Material Traditions, European Dress/Fashion, and if not speak of European Custom in itself too that is [and in speak too now of European Monarchies, and of European Kings and Queens too that is]. This manner though, and of associating European History and with its Material Traditions in all, is not believed adequate, for Europe in all, does come to be, and in speak truly of Gunpowder, and as with it all even referring and to the very world of Shakespeare too that is. Europe though, and in speak of the Printing Press, does now in all even associate it, and with speak of the Church in Europe too that is.
In all, the belief here that, so termed European Slave-Traders, do in all arrive in Africa, and in speak of Gunpowder, and as with it all even referring and to speak of the History of Mercantilism/Banking in Europe, speak too now and of European Royal Houses (Bonapartist), and if not speak now, and of European Heraldry, and of European Spirituality in itself too, and as said born of an European Rite that is [Link]. In all though, what is been said here is that, African Spiritual Traditions in all, do in all again triumph over those said European (and not Christian truly either), and in speak now of the Haitian Revolution for instance.
Africa after Slavery, and in speak now of the Alaafin, now does speak in all and of the said presence of Islam in Africa, and as with it truly associated and with speak of African Poetry / Oriki in all, and as said merging with that, and that does refer and to speak of Allah too that is. In all, Africa, and in speak too of the Alaafin, said developing as such, and in speak now too, and of the development of a whole new African Artistry, and if not Architecture too, and that does speak even of African Identity, and in a Post-Slavery Africa, and that does in all even speak of the City of Lagos in Nigeria, its birth and rise, and in further speak too of a said Malinke/Madinka incursion in all it is said, and into Brazil, and in its Slave holding Era that is, Brasil, and that does in all even speak of a Slave Revolt in Brazil, and of the said spread of Islam, and in Brazil too, and as said speaking of the presence of 'Mosques', and in Northern Brazil too that is. In all, Africa and as said, now associated and with speak of Islam and in Africa, or speak truly only of Allah in all, and in speak too of a divide and between so termed Animist Africa, and as compared to speak of Islamic/Dervish Africa, and in speak too now and of 'Oyo State' and in Nigeria too, and as with it all even a divide, and that does speak of the Oriki Tradition that is [Islamic/Dervish Identity though, should not be confused with that said Islamist, and as the latter, does in all even speak too of Rastafarian Ideology, and which is not said truly African that is].
In many a way, Africa, and in speak of the Colonial Expansion, does now speak of said Animist Africa (Southern Nigeria and below), and an episode in African History too, Colonialism, not too easy to explain, and as with regards to Intention, and of European Colonialists, and onto Africa, and as speak of Islam/Allah and as said now a driving force of Civilization, does not appear to be actually true, and as European Colonialists in Africa, do in all even appear to engage Islamic/Dervish Africa and in Warfare, and in speak of Conquest too, while Animist Africa, is now associated and with speak of the Destruction of society in all, African, and in speak too of Walter Rodney for instance (Link), and in speak furtherly now and of Animist Africa, and as with regards to speak of European Colonialism, now truly said associated, and with the attempt to erase African Identity, and in speak now of an African Consciousness and as said embodied and in speak of African Art / Artifacts, African Religion or African Expressionisms too [and the very belief that, those said Animist in Africa, often do make for the best of Christianity followesr that is]. In all though, speak here and of the attempt in all, and by Europeans, and to in all even covet Animist African culture, and in speak too of Abstract Expressionism for instance, and if not speak of Existentialism/Humanism too that is.
In all, speak now and of Tradition and this Blog, and of the African Oracle that is, could still very well be said and to speak of Aki, and as speaking too of the Oriki Tradition, and alongside speak of Allah too [Link]. However, and in speak of so termed Animist Africa, and speak too of the Political divide, and between Animist Africa, and speak too and of not only so termed Islamic/Dervish Africa, but in many a way too, speak too of Azania / Southern Africa, and if not further speak too of the cultures of the Horn of Africa in all, so termed Animist Africa, and as probably now in all, developing Tradition, and that does in all even speak of Osanyin too for instance [Link].
