In a Classic African education system, everyone was a teacher and everyone was a student. A student was never separated from the community for the purpose of education. Everyone had a secure place in society and there was no such thing as a drop-out; and no concept of failure.

Innovative thinking and creativity were always encouraged and was considered a vital part of the community. The destruction of this model of learning is among the highest immoral acts of colonialism and the missionary movement.

BLACK EGYPTIANS ON THE DOME OF PENTECOST, ST MARCK'S BASILICIA, ITALY, (9TH CENTURY AD)

During the height of the colonial era in the late 18th century there began a movement to usurp ancient African history and attribute it to Europeans. This movement began with Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt in 1798. During this time the field of Egyptology was developed and undertook the dubious task of white washing the ancient civilization of Kemet (Egypt).

Many racist, pseudoscientific theories were invented to promote the idea of a "fair skinned" civilization such as the long outdated and debunked "Hamitic Theory" and "Dynastic Theory", both of which have been proven wrong and abandoned by all credible academics.

Yet the falsified imagery of a "white" ancient Egypt still persists in the media and the minds of many who were brainwashed to perceive ancient Egypt as an Eurasian civilization. Thanks to the work of modern academics these long outdated concepts are now being challenged and the historical record is finally being corrected.

“I myself guessed it to be so, partly because they are dark-skinned and woolly-haired; though that indeed goes for nothing, seeing that other peoples, too, are such; but my better proof was that the Colchians and Egyptians and Ethiopians are the only nations that have from the first practiced circumcision”.

- Herodotus, The Histories Book II, Chapters 99-182

“They say also that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony… And the larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the colonists still preserving their ancient manners...Many other things are also told by them concerning their own antiquity and the colony which they sent out that became the Egyptians, but about this there is no special need of our writing anything…We must now speak about the Ethiopian writing which is called hieroglyphic among the Egyptians…”

- Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History of Diodorus Siculus Vol II, Book III

We’ve been farming and eating natural foods thousands of years before any foreign contact, let no one deceive you that African people don’t know how to farm. Here we eat mostly natural foods not GMO foods.

The Africans who built Louisiana’s plantations were not just laborers—they were bearers of knowledge and culture.

Originating primarily from West and Central Africa, including the Wolof, Fulbe, Bambara, Mandingo, and many others, enslaved people brought expertise that was essential to the colony’s survival.

Their agricultural skills laid the foundation for Louisiana’s rice and indigo industries, transforming the region’s economy.

Most enslaved people in Louisiana came from Senegambia, near the Senegal and Gambia Rivers, where rice cultivation was a deeply ingrained part of their heritage.
But their contributions went far beyond labor. In the kitchens and quarters of the plantations, they preserved their cultures through food, traditions, music, and storytelling.

The creativity of these individuals were integral to the development of Creole culture, leaving an indelible mark on Louisiana’s history.

You can’t claim a land you stole through the displacement and **killings of innocent indigenous black African people, where you later created an Apartheid state to subdue them and make them live in slums in their land.

Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮

This young revolutionary Ivorian entrepreneur is the pride of Africa !!!!!!
Stéphane Sucré, the man who wants to put an end to the importation of rice in Côte d'Ivoire.

Serial entrepreneur in several sectors of activity but it is his brand of rice that interests us. Let's detail his journey a little with his rice.

- 2013 - 2014, he started buying and selling local rice. He bought rice from rice farmers.
- ⁠Until 2018 when thanks to the door-to-door marketing strategy, he built loyalty among thousands of families.
- ⁠Demand increases, in 2018, he starts producing on 50 hectares.
- In 2020, he arrived on social networks with his Ridissi rice brand and the demand became even stronger.
- 2013, no store, he stored the rice in his apartment.
- 2014, he took a store until 2020 when a second store opened.
- 2018 to 2022, he went from 50 hectares to 300 hectares.
- 2022 to 2025, he went to 600 hectares.
- from one store, to 2 stores, in 2025, he is at 20 points of sale of Ridissi.
- ⁠in summary, in 12 years of work, starting with 5 tons of rice worth 2,000,000f, today it is at 600 hectares and about 1200 tons per year.

NB: And this is done under own funds, with its partners and distributors. God alone knows how this sector is very difficult but they are evolving in it slowly and surely.

What are the incredible results that Stéphane Sucré and his team could achieve if the government or donors put only 10 billion at their disposal?
Just 10 billion in the 600 billion of rice imports.
He has evolved where many have failed, he needs support, he proves that it is possible. Bravo Stéphane.

PEACE ✌🏿

The son:
Mom look at this woman! This is exactly the kind I want to marry! She is so beautiful! 😍

The mom (softly smiling):
My son, I understand that you are attracted to her beauty, but let me give you some advice: beauty alone is not enough to build a married life.

The son (intrigued):
Why, Mom? A beautiful woman like her would make me so happy.

The mother (serious but kind):
My son, a woman can be beautiful in the eyes of everyone, but the true beauty, the one that lasts, is in her heart and character. Look for a woman who will respect you, who will accompany you in the trials of life and who will support you in your dreams.

The son (thinking):
But mommy if she's beautiful and has a good character why not?

The mom (with an accomplice smile):
Sure it can my son. But remember that the ideal woman is not the one who attracts everyone's attention, but the one who is devoted to you, who will make you grow, and who will bring you peace. Don't just trust appearances, they fade with time. Look for the one that will make your soul happy, not just your eyes.

The son (shy smile):
I think I understand it mom. Thanks for your advice.. I will think more before I choose.

The mom (putting her hand on her shoulder):
Take your time son True love is often found where you least expect it. And above all, choose the one who will make you a better man.

Morale :
Don't judge only by appearances, because the true value of a person lies in their heart, character and ability to accompany you through ups and downs of life.

This man left Europe and relocated to Africa (Cameroon) to cultivate cassava.

Bertin Tchoffo, a Cameroonian entrepreneur and founder of Pafic Sarl, returned to his country to grow cassava and produce its various derivatives. He has established a 1,300-hectare farm with a processing capacity of 20 tons daily at his factory, where he produces cassava flour, garri, and composite flour (a blend of cassava and corn flour for baking).

Tchoffo owns a bakery that transforms cassava flour into bread and croissants. His company also processes palm oil into cosmetic products.

Pafic Sarl currently operates five distribution points in Yaoundé and plans to expand to 100 distribution points.

Before his success, Bertin Tchoffo faced homelessness in France, spending eight months on the streets without a fixed address. To escape poverty, he worked three different jobs, including at the post office and as a supervisor and security agent at Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est, saving money to start his own business.

After launching his company, he visited Cameroon to see his family and identified the opportunity to create an agri-food production and processing unit. In 2012, he bought his first piece of land to build a factory, using the money he earned in Europe to invest in cassava cultivation and processing.

Today, he has employed over 1,000 Cameroonians across various farms, processing, and distribution units. Pafic Sarl also processes bottled water, sold at 200 frs for 1.65 liters, as well as margarine and soup.

Tchoffo believes that if Cameroon increases cassava production and embraces cassava-based bread, it could significantly reduce the importation of wheat flour.

He organizes masterclasses called "Back to Africa" to encourage the Cameroonian diaspora to invest back home.
