That's what I'm talking about

THE LAST HERO HAS FALLEN: Pa Ebou Janha, a Gambian who fought to liberate Europe in 1945, passed away at 102. Mr. Janha was the last surviving hero from the Gambian Regiment who helped the British defeat Japan, a then German ally in the East during the European conflict of 1945.

Old and forgotten, Ebou Janha sharedfate with many African heroes who fell victim to the old European war. Similar to the French ill-treatment of their African saviors, the British are also accused of dropping and abandoning their African fighters at the end of the war.

Sadly, African fighters hardly get any recognition as the history of the war is being retold to a new generation of Europeans. The newly produced 'World War II' movies on Netflix failed to give credit to African fighters, even though French and British troops were largely made up of Africans.

Like Mr. Janha, there are many sad stories of African 'World War II' heroes throughout the continent.

In the late Nineties, at a town in The Gambia, another hero named Pa Samba would walk around town with his old khaki bag filled with pictures and memories of his days as a soldier fighting for the British.

Traumatized by the old European War and without any Post-trauma care, Mr. Samba would hang out at the local brewery every evening as he narrates stories of the war to African kids.

To many Africans, the likes of Mr. Janha and Pa Samba will always be remembered as the generation that helped save millions of European women and Children without any prejudice or resentment for the atrocities committed by the same Europe on African soil.

May his soul rest in peace.

Black power

Thomas Fuller, an African sold into slavery in 1724 at the age of 14, was sometimes known as the “Virginia Calculator” for his extraordinary ability to solve complex math problems in his head. He was asked how many seconds there were in a year and a half, he answered in about two minutes, 47,304,000. Again he was asked how many seconds a man has lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, he answered in a minute and a half 2,210,500,800.

One of the men was working out the problems on paper, and informed Fuller that he was wrong, because the answer was much smaller. Fuller hastily replied, "'Top, massa, you forget de leap year." When the leap year was added in, the sums matched.

This photograph of 12-year-old Diego Frazo Torquato evoked emotion in much of the world when it appeared in the media in October of 2009. Diego was playing the violin at the funeral of his teacher, John Evandro da Silva, who had formed Afroreggae, an NGO that worked to combat the trafficking of young people.

John had given Diego hope of escaping poverty through the power of music and he was a proud member of Afroreggae. Sadly, the following year, Diego died from leukaemia.

BENIN HERO

Ologbosere was hanged by the British in 1899. The respected chief of Benin Kingdom fought a guerrilla war for 2 years against the British occupation army . To the British, he was treacherous and barbaric, but to many Benin people he was symbol of resistance against the invaders. Photographed just before ex*****on.
These are the type of heroes we ought to be studying in our schools .

When Nkrumah entered the United States of America to begin his studies at the Lincoln University, he had not enough money to pay his fees for the first semester neither enough money to caretaker for his living expenses.

Due to this financial difficulty, Nkrumah began to by and sell fish in the street of Harlem. Unfortunately, he discovered soon, that his investment in the fish business far exceeded the returns and he was not making any profit.

Nkrumah left his fish business and he now has no job, no money, no accommodation and no one to resort to for assistance. A devastated Nkrumah walked in the streets of Harlem wondering where he could turn next.

As nature always looks after those it has destined to change destinies, Nkrumah suddenly met a fellow student from Lincoln who originally comes from Demerara in British Guinea. He told him his story and this student said: Do not worry my African brother, I will do everything possible to help you. ~I think I can solve the- accommodation problem as a start.'

~He explained that he knew a West Indian family who were extremely kind and sympathetic and that if he went along and put Nkrumah' s case before them, he felt they might help him out.

Sure enough, by the time Nkrumah had told his story tears were in the eyes of the women. She offered Nkrumah small spare room, and added that he shouldn't worry about the payment until he managed to find a job and become financially stable.

The single support which the students and the family offered Nkrumah helped him to complete his studies and move to Africa to present the key of political independence to the continental Africa. Yes, UBUNTU is our way and it is the only way that can bring us the African we want!

Why a Young Kwame Nkrumah Wanted to Study in America?

In 1934, Kwame Nkrumah applied to the Lincoln University for an admission to study. One year past and he had not received an offer or a response.
He then wrote an emergency letter to the Dean of Students at the University in 1935 reminding him of his request for an admission to study at the university.
The university wrote back to him asking him to write a brief story of his life and his reasons for wanting to study at the school.
The following is the summary of what Nkrumah wrote to the university:
"I neither know where to begin nor where to
end because I feel the story of my life has
not been one of achievements.
Furthermore, I have not been anxious to tell people of what may have been accomplished by me.
In truth, the burden of my life can be summarized into a single line in "The
Memoriam," quoted by Cecil Rhodes; "so
much to do, so little done ..."
In all things, I have held myself to but one ambition and that is to make necessary arrangements to continue my education in a university in the United States ofAmerica, that I may be better prepared to serve my fellow human ...."
Nkrumah was finally admitted, and I will follow-up with his life as a student in the United States, his decision to return to African and his influence in our liberation struggle.

" Although the age of slavery ended a long time ago, the word “slave” is still used to call individuals of this group who prefer to be called “brown” or even “black” over being called a slave," writes Ali al-Ajeel.

Many runaway enslaved Africans organised themselves in quilombos in order to negotiate from a position of force to obtain better terms of living under slavery in Brazil. For instance in Bahia, Brazil, maroons from the Santana plantation produced a detailed "peace treaty" demanding more land be provided for their gardens and "that they be allowed to sing and dance any time that they chose." In Rio de Janeiro they demanded that family members not be separated by sale and that undesired overseers be fired. Settlements of this type were numerous - but short lived.

Tia Ciata, born Hilária Batista de Almeida (1854-1924) was a cook, mãe-de-santo of Candomblé, and an influential figure in the development of samba.
She was born in Santo Amaro, Bahia, and initiated in Candomblé in Salvador by Bangboshe Obitikô (Rodolfo Martins de Andrade). She was a devotee of deity Oshun and became the iyakekerê, or second most important leader, in the terreiro of João Alabá in Rio de Janeiro. "Ciata", the name by which she is now known, is a variant on the Arabic name Aycha; it was a common feminine name among the Muslim community from Portuguese Guinea that formerly resided in Rio de Janeiro.

Tia Ciata arrived in Rio de Janeiro in 1876 at the age of 22 and worked as a vendor at a food stall.
She lived on Rua Visconde de Itauna in the neighborhood of Praça Onze (now Cidade Nova), an area which became known as "Pequena África", or Little Africa. It was here that Tia Ciata became one of the main progenitors of Afro-Brazilian culture of early favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Samba musicians, composers, and dancers regularly gathered in her home; her residence may be one of the birthplaces of the genre.

The first samba recording, Pelo Telefone, a composition by Donga (Ernesto Joaquim Maria dos Santos) and Mauro de Almeida, was recorded in the residence. Like Tia Citata, the vocalist of Pelo Telefone was from Santo Amaro, Bahia. She married João Batista da Silva, and had fourteen children. The couple became noted figures in Pequena África of Rio, and Tia Ciata was honored annually at the Rio Carnival until her death in Rio de Janeiro in 1924.
