Ögbakö Ndï Nsureökü (Gathering of Holocaust Descendants) is a league of Chapters under the UNIA-ACL (Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities Imperial League).

Many had adopted a name 'New Afrikans' for themselves and fought over land. There is a lot of blood sweat tears soul energy and psychic energy behind the name. I think this term New Afrikans and variations of the term can be used as a general term in Organizing African centered Communities and circles. Similar to the term Igbo or BaMileke I suppose because they do not have one Paramount king. The variation We've come up with is NNÜ AFÖRAKA in IGBO dialects. We will work to Institutionalize MBANNÜ Kingship societies (royal Government societies) and Intergovernmental Associations.

This essaic-article goes against established conventions that there is anything ethno-cultural (and hence national) about the so-called African tribes. Drawing largely from the culture history of precolonial/prepolitical Africans—that is, the Bantu/Cushitic-Ethiopians (Azanians)—the author has demonstrated vividly that far from being distinct ethno-culture national communities, the so-called tribes of African states are better considered subculture groups, whose regional culture practices erstwhile paid tribute to their nation’s main culture center in Karnak. For example, using the culture symbols and practices of some local groups and linking them to the predynastic and dynastic Pharaonic periods, I argued that there is compelling evidence against qualifying Africa’s tribes as distinct ethno-culture national entities. In genuine culture context, I stressed that the Ritual of Resurrection and its twin culture process of the mummification of deceased indigenous Pharaohs tend to suggest that the object of the Bantu/Cushitic-Ethiopians national culture was life (in its eternal manifestation) and then resurrection later, and that there are recurring (culturally sanctioned) ethical examples among the culture custodians of these subculture groups that generally pay tribute to the overarching culture norm. Furthermore, the fact that the Ritual of Resurrection began in the Delta region and ended at the Sources of the Nile, where the spirit of the deceased indigenous Pharaohs was introduced into the spiritual world of their ancestors, contradicts conventional perceptions that ancient Egypt was a distinct national community isolated from precolonial/prepolitical Africa/Azania.

This was a name that was adopted to signal their movement towards the "setting sun." Yoruba is cognate with Greek Europa [Europe] and Arabic Ma-greb. The Yoruba were Kushites and when they moved west and conquered the native Igbo [not to be confused with modern Igbo] they named their providence KOSO [<kash, kush, kAs. There is no god in Yoruba pantheon remotely resembling the name "Yoruba" which they would have kept if that was their totem deity.-Asar Imhotep

Unfortunately, Dr. Washington died on November 14, 1915, before Garvey could arrive. Garvey's Jamaican UNIA Division held a Memorial meeting,where he gave a speech on Dr. Washington's life from slavery up to the "pinnacles of fame and world power", that lasted over an hour. In part he said,"Under certain circumstances Dr. Washington should have been acclaimed head of his race (Paramount Chief), but since the Negro has no national or set ideal of himself we in our humble way can only acclaim him as the greatest hero sprung from the stock of scattered Ethiopia." After traveling throughout half of Europe studying the condition of his race, he said, " I asked: Where is the black man's Government?" "Where is his King and his Kingdom?" "Where is his President, his country, and his ambassador, his army, his navy, his men of big affairs?" I could not find them, and then I declared, "I will help to make them." Marcus Garvey wrote; "All great races have their leaders, their kings, their emperors, and their presidents. We think its time for Negroes to find a universal leader, whose leadership the 400 million will follow. He said, If Germany has, If England has, if Italy has their leaders then the time has come for the Negro to follow a Negro elected by themselves. "The Negroes will elect a Universal leader who will forever guide the destiny of the race until an African Empire is founded." While laying plans for the first international convention, Garvey said, "For the first time in the history of the American Negro he will elect a leader for himself.

It was taboo to hide the face in Yoruba culture and only a few people were allowed to wear this "Akata" hat. "Ka" generally represents building or gathering or increasing. "Ta" represents dragging out, rising up or becoming distant. Akata thus means someone or something from far away; an obscure person or phenomena; a foreigner, a wildcat, visitor, alien, immigrant, STRANGER; someone who grew up in the wild ie outside the Kingdom and adopted foreign values or a faraway neighbor not initiated in the traditions.
