UNESCO VS AFRICAN ART AND CULTURE; THE IMPERATIVES OF A MORE PROACTIVE STRATEGY TO PROTECT AFRICAN ART & CULTURE FROM EXTINCTION.
THE AFRICAN ORIGIN OF TRINITY: OSUN,IFA,OLODUMARE:The concept of Trinity was an African concept deep rooted in the believe of unity in the diversities of the gods and deities that are all working in harmony alberts in different ways but to continue the underlying reality of the will of God - Olodumare among men of subsequent Creation.
In the Egyptian system of worship and belief Dr Check Anta Diop has been able to proff with out any flinching doubt about the truism of -The African Origin of Civilization' and he was able to trace the human race and the causality of civilisation to Egypt and knowledge , sciences, astronomy, engineering, mathematics where all products of Egyptian civilisation stolen away by the Coptic in the aspects of Egyptian civilization and the Meronic civilization of kursh whose capital was Napata of lower Nile that became the civilization of Nubia.
All were invaded by Europeans and the rich culture , heritage , sciences and technology was stolen from Africa by the European invaders. Even it is on record that Solon, Pythagoras, Jesus Christ,Aristotle, Alexandra the great all lived in Egypt and studied in Egypt getting acquainted with Egyptian/African cosmology, believes , religion and they began to replicate and interpret this African believes in European setting.
In the 15th century when Christendom had entered the era of great turmoil , it was research in the Book written by the former Prime Minster of Great Britain- The Churchill's People - that all Christian factions from the Catholic, to the Zwigili of John Calvin, to the Russian othodosxly, the Anglican, the German Christendom led by Martin Luther of the Lutheran all assembled in Constantinople to finally resolve all the dichotomy among Christianity.. it was their in Ottoman civilisation- Turkey city of Constantinople that the concept of trinity was adopted in the 1674 by all Christendom as a standard. that is God the son, God the Father and God the Mother or God the Father ,. God the Son and God the Holy Will [Spirit]...
But in African Religion the practised the believe in TRINITY of the Godhead has been a long acceptable standards among all diffent African religion of the world.
Egypt [produced the Trinity of Horus the Son,Isis the Mother and Osiris the Father and Godhead..
The Yoruba Religion posits IFA the Son, Osun the Mother and Olodumare- the Godhead and father. In the aspect of the great Ifa divination which run exactly similar to that of Jesus Christ the Holy Messiah the world . The message of transfiguration , the opening of the heavens and the thundering and cloud and rains and rapture to reveal the most favoured son of the holy one IFA, was a monopoly of the IFA divination until the white man showed up in Africa to supplant that same phenomenon replicating the tape exactly with new actors as in Mary, Jesus Christ, Joseph etal..stealing an Egyptian/ Meronic African legacy repackaged under new brand name of Christianity and returned it back to used as an instrument of enslave, colonise and dominate Africa in the most diabolical imperialism that lasted for more than 500 years thereby looting Africa dry and under developing the African continent.
With the evolution of a more polished mankind it becomes imperative for the imperialist Nation to Repair back Africa through the concept of REPARATION- helping to protect all our artifacts, carving, paintings, returning all the stolen priceless works in their possession back to Africa as well as protecting the remaining from being poached away by people of diabolical passion.
OSUN STATE: Whence the UNESCO involvement in the OSUN legacy was a welcome development and it must be dome properly so that a set of vicious cabals are not allowed to short change Osun people in the deal with UNESCO over the management of the Osun Groove, Osun Shrine and the Osun stater Art centre.
EDO STATE; Secondly Edo state is a land of great heritage that also has a legacy of the TRINITY in Queen IDIA the Mother, Ewuare the son and Odudewa- Olodumare, Olokun, Oluaye as the God Head the father...and it is the believe that the Benin Monarch as traditional rulers represent God and Deity among men of subsequent creation. . In this great land Edo state there are many religion sits of worship that or of great significance and that UNESCO can also extend there sponsorship to them in the aspects of protecting declining culture due to larceny of the artifacts representing the GODS , lackof fund to develop and protect the sits from gullible businessmen in search of land for there factories etc
Like the IGARRA- ABA FESTIVAL/ WORSHIP-- DEITY OF ORI OFU-The site has been invaded by the road to Osomorica and many peoples have encroached the entire land to build houses around the site of ORI OFU - this is the site of one of the greatest Gods of Africa that has a very large follower ship and the sit where the great ABA festival of IGARRA KINGDOM is done every seven years, a tradition that dates back to over 1000[ one thousand] years history of the Igarra Kibngdom...Also the sites of the Goddess of Ori Vokoto[IGARRA], Ori dowo[IGARRA], ISAMI [IKPESHI] have been encroached by various peoples. The Edo state Government has to do something quickly by inviting UNESCO to come and assist through funding and financial assistance to protect this great religion and cultural heritage of the Edo /kukuruku peoples.
