🇪🇹 AFRICAN HISTORY: The Battle of Adwa – Ethiopia’s Great Victory (1896)

In 1896, when European powers were colonizing almost every part of Africa, one nation stood its ground — Ethiopia.

Led by Emperor Menelik II and Empress Taytu Betul, Ethiopian warriors faced the invading Italian army at the Battle of Adwa. Against all odds, they fought with courage and unity — and defeated the Italians, protecting their land from colonization.

This victory made Ethiopia a symbol of African resistance and pride — proving that Africa could stand tall and defend its freedom.

Adwa remains a reminder that unity, courage, and faith can conquer even the strongest enemy. 💪🏾

The Great Mali Empire (13th–16th Century)

Long before colonial rule, West Africa was home to one of the richest and most powerful empires in the world — the Mali Empire.

It began in the 13th century when a great leader named Sundiata Keita united many small kingdoms after defeating the cruel king Sumanguru Kante. Under his rule, Mali became a vast empire stretching across modern-day Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, and Niger.

The most famous ruler of Mali was Mansa Musa (ruled 1312–1337). He’s often called the richest man in history. In 1324, he made a legendary pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj), traveling with thousands of soldiers, officials, and slaves — all dressed in fine gold. His generosity was so great that he reportedly caused a temporary drop in gold prices in Egypt due to how much he gave away!

Under Mansa Musa, Timbuktu became a global center of learning and trade, attracting scholars, architects, and traders from across Africa and the Arab world. The famous University of Sankoré in Timbuktu was one of the earliest centers of higher learning in the world.

🌿 Story: “The Baobab That Remembers”

In a small village in Senegal, there stands a giant baobab tree, said to be over 800 years old. The villagers believe it has witnessed generations come and go—births, weddings, laughter, and even the hardest times.

They call it “Ndigal,” meaning blessing, because under its shade, elders gather to share wisdom, griots sing history, and children play freely.

One legend says: “If you whisper your dream into the hollow of the baobab, the tree carries it into the sky for the ancestors to hear.”

The baobab is more than just a tree—it’s a library of memories, a guardian of culture, and a reminder that Africa’s strength is rooted in deep history and unbreakable community ties.

🌍 The Tale of the Talking Drum

Long ago in a small West African village, there was a sacred drum. This drum was no ordinary drum—it could speak. Its voice carried wisdom, warning, and celebration across the land.

Whenever danger approached, the drum beat loudly, warning hunters and farmers. When a child was born, the drum sang sweet rhythms of joy. During harvest, its sound echoed with gratitude to the ancestors.

But one day, a proud young man grew jealous. “Why should the drum speak for us? I have a stronger voice!” he declared. He took the drum and struck it with anger. The drum cracked—and its voice was gone forever.

That night, the village fell silent. No songs, no warnings, no joy. Regret filled the young man’s heart, for he had silenced not just the drum, but the spirit of unity it carried.

From that day on, the elders taught:
"A drum is not just wood and skin—it is the heartbeat of a people. Break the drum, and you break the bond of community."

And so, in many villages, the drum still beats—not only for music, but to remind us that together, we are stronger than alone.

✨ Lesson: Protect what unites your people, for once it is lost, silence follows.

“Africa: The Land of Firsts”
Africa is the birthplace of humanity. Fossils prove that the earliest humans walked here over 200,000 years ago.
So when you look in the mirror, remember — we are all connected to Africa.

According to Mr. Peter Obi’s on his post;

Today, I had the privilege of paying a courtesy visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo alongside Dr. Yunusa Tanko, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, and Segun Adebanjo.

We also visited the new Olubadan of Ibadan, Kabiyesi Oba Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja, where we shared meaningful conversations about our beloved country.

At both meetings, we reflected on the state of our nation and the urgent need to work together in unity, love, fairness, and justice for the progress of all Nigerians.

These engagements further strengthened my belief that with a competent team built on capacity, compassion, and commitment, a new Nigeria is truly possible. 🇳🇬✨

A Forgotten African Warrior Woman

This photograph, taken in 1900, doesn’t show a maid or nanny as many once believed.
The woman in front was actually one of the personal bodyguards of the King of Dahomey — an ancient West African kingdom (modern-day Benin) famous for its fearless female warriors: the Dahomey Amazons.

She was known as Ella Abomah Williams (Mme Abomah). Reports from her time claimed she stood over 2.5 meters tall, could lift a grown man with one arm, and fought with a strength and skill that seemed almost mythical.

Yet, instead of celebrating her as a heroine, colonial writers reduced her to a spectacle, calling her a “dark-skinned beauty” to be shown in European cities — blind to the fact that they were in the presence of a living legend.

History has nearly forgotten her name, but her story reminds us: true heroines often walk among us, overlooked by those who fail to truly see.

Let’s honor Mme Abomah and the fearless Dahomey Amazons by keeping their legacy alive.
