On behalf of the event organizers and the entire team of the African Views Organization, including the African Views Network, Nigeria, the Freedom Park in Lagos, and the Council of Traditional Leaders of Africa (COTLA-AU), we say thanks! Nigeria was chosen for the summit as a result of the urgent efforts to reassure the populace and show the rest of the world that we are aware of our challenges and are capable of handling them in an appropriate manner. By asking ourselves and our leaders to reflect on the situation and address the people with candor and care, we, the people, came together to take a crucial citizen action. We believe that by bringing up the pressing issues, this gathering was successful. Additionally, by holding a symbolic ceremony of truth and reconciliation between Awolowo and Akintola, we broke new ground. The title of the upcoming book that honors the occasion, "A Warm and Peaceful Home," alludes to every nation's desire to be a warm and peaceful home for its people. Therefore, we thank everyone who participated and worked together to make the event possible for Nigeria. It's time to make Nigeria a warm and peaceful place to live for everyone! We are grateful to Her Excellency Ambassador Dr. Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu and the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation, the entire clan of the Akintola family led by Honorable Lenny Ayoola Akanbi, and represented by Eng. Akintayo Akintola for their generous support in making the symbolic reconciliation for peace and improved cooperation possible. Thank you. We are grateful for the generosity and support of our traditional leaders which includes: H.I.M.

That conversation ensued between the Blind Abbot and the Researcher. The statement catches the essence of this Report. Even more so, if it is important to mention that this realm of knowledge is extraordinary and far beyond academic or even scholastic relevance; then, it is in the realm of seekers. Seekers are those who find themselves in the Labyrinth of the Nomos. Where only stoics find solace and where those martyrs become fully integral scholars as they emerge from the depth to only to be at peace with themselves and the with the world around them. They are able to find balance, though not always instantaneous but eventually able to see order in the chaos.
It makes sense that power is made of two essential ingredients, ability and capacity and, that both are not equal. This paper explains why. It also explains why abuse of power is not just a moral issue but much more of what can be described as cultivated dependency.
Though this is not part of the paper, Samuel Johnson was able to capture the realm of seekers in the following statement:

"The mind, once let loose to enquiry, and suffered to operate without restraint, necessarily deviates into peculiar opinions and wanders new tracks, where she is indeed sometimes lost in a labyrinth, from which she cannot return and scarce knows how to proceed; yet, sometimes makes useful discoveries, or finds out nearer paths to knowledge." - Samuel Johnson

The paper explains itself and it is worth reading.

After his show, he went to Harlem to see the Will Maston Trio led by a young Sammy Davis Jr. Frank is blown away by Sammy’s talent and after the show, he asks Sammy to come to see his show.

A week goes by. No Sammy. Sinatra goes back to Harlem to see the Will Maston Trio again and asks Sammy why he didn’t show. Sammy said he was there but they wouldn’t let him in. Frank stormed back to the theater, tore up his contract in front of them, and never performed there again. That would be a common theme during the course of their friendship and careers. When Sammy wasn’t allowed to play at the Copacabana, Frank wouldn’t play there either.

When Sammy was refused a Las Vegas hotel room, Frank said, “Give him my room!” After Sammy’s car accident where he lost his eye, it was Sinatra who paid all his medical bills. After 5 decades and 40 years of performing together, a reporter once asked Frank why he was always so charitable to Sammy. Frank responded in three words, “He’s my brother.”

They have been significant in our evolution, performances, and achievement across cultures for several thousands of years. Horses have appeared in human myths, legends, and religions, and numerous works of art around the world depict the horse, from ancient cave paintings to Roman statues. It is not by coincidence that we measure our engineering and technology strength by horsepower. Like all things, modern humans (those mixed with Neanderthals and those acculturated with standard pedagogue), since the understanding that plausible alliances between man and some animal species provides certain advantages against odds-have since cultivated a coexistence marked by a distinct shift in the evolution of the horse. People have learned to deliberately select specific traits through crossbreeding, causing distinct breeds of horses to emerge. As a matter of fact, it is important to study horses to better understand human intents. The formal name for the horse is Equus caballus, placing it in the same family as zebras, donkeys, and onagers. These animals represent the survivors of a once much larger and more diverse group of animals; over the centuries, horses and their relatives developed unique adaptations to survive in the environments where they roamed. The horse is designed for life on the open plains; the animals have several anatomical features which allow them to run extremely quickly, and they are adapted to eat grasses and other plant forage which made them adequate accessories for human adventures or other human interests. Note that horses are not naturally willing participants in these alliances. They had to be broken and controlled. Hundreds of horse breeds have been developed all over the world. Some have been bred for strength so that they can work pulling carts and agricultural implements. Others were bred for speed and endurance, so that they could hunt, while some horses have been bred to be extremely intelligent, assisting their owners with tasks ranging from herding cattle to searching for people who are lost. There are horses who can dance to both classical music

Culturally, Violence Against Women is those acts that are explicitly justified or condoned through misuse of cultural, religious, or traditional beliefs, values, and practices that are meant to impose patriarchal control over women and girls. There are, for example, Early Child Marriage, Female Genital Mutilations (FGM), and limitations of Women's development and advancement due to customs and traditional beliefs. Many of these culturally sanctioned practices are meant to subjugate women.

African Queens & Cultural Leaders Network, The African Royal Kingdoms (The ARK), and African Views Organization (AQWCLN– The ARK - AV) are the organizers of the African cultural leaders' conference on ending harmful traditional sexual and gender-based practices in observance of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 65) 2021, scheduled to take place on April 28th, 2021 at 2 PM Ghana Time.

Topics of discussion will include ensuring the following
• Role of Women in High-level Decision-Making leadership positions (if women can be president and prime ministers, why can't the queen rule in kingdoms)
• Removing traditional impediments of women repression such as Early child marriages,
• Zero Tolerance Female Genital mutilations, breast pressing, inheritance rights, and other harmful practices.
• Reimagining the role, choice, and potential of Women's contribution in modern traditional societies

Traditional rulers representing all the Six African regions will discuss eradicating harmful traditional practices in the communities.

My research scope was Christianity bound. Christianity serves as a perfect example of the intended purpose. The publication focuses on the criticism of idolatry within Christendom, which lays bare the hypocrisy of the prosecution of paganism and its uses of amulet and sorcery. It is an odyssey that points ultimately to the promotion of humanity and humanism. The research takes an uncommon approach that challenges traditional scholars of religious scriptures, theosophists, and theologians on complacency and impunity misconduct, and the pervasive misdirection. If you pay attention correctly, you will notice the herculean task of this effort's intended purpose, which serves, among other things, to awaken, or induce sobriety, or perhaps validate the dangerous and toxic misdirection of the unabated trend and unbridled movements of radical Christianity in the African worlds, and elsewhere. This was my impetus. However, it turned out to be more encompassing. All along, I felt accompanied throughout this research and writing. The dedication page expresses my gratitude. This had to be done, and it took precedence. I remain grateful to God for whom only the glory is due for the endowment of knowledge as the light that rids the darkness that abounds. In summary, all religions are selfish, naive, covetous, and predisposed to human folly. They all seek to systematize routines that affirm group sorcery, just like a sport's fans collectively rooting for their side in the performance of a few participating in a competition. Yet, every religion professes the golden rule. So why these contradictions? It is either they don't know, or they are they know and thus deliberately misleading. It is time to have this discussion, openly and candidly. Religion is supposed to bring salvation to the soul. What then has religion achieved if the soul is unsatisfied. "What is truth?"

Affirmation for New Beginnings and Invocation for Continued Blessings, 2021

In the beginning, was the Thought, and the Thought was with God, and the Thought was God. At the ... more In the beginning, was the Thought, and the Thought was with God, and the Thought was God. At the beginning of a new year, it is customary for us to think of new beginnings and the time for new resolutions. This traditional sentiment is practiced across all faiths-to start afresh and have a new beginning everywhere in the world. Time is the measure of motion, duration, and energy. Anything that moves requires energy, which causes it to move, and duration is how long movement and energy last. Our Sun, together with the planets revolving around it, including Earth, is known as the Solar System. Time on Earth is tied to our planetary system. And it is specific to Planet earth. So far, astronomers have found more than 500 solar systems and are discovering new ones every year. Given how many they have found in our neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy, scientists estimate that there may be tens of billions of solar systems in our galaxy, perhaps even as many as 100 billion. A Year is the duration of time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. A Month is the duration of time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. A Day is the duration of time it takes for the Earth to revolve on its axis. We divided our day on Earth into hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to capture the longest and the shortest duration within distance, motion, and energy.

Th... more This has been a mosaic analysis on an important chunk of American and native American History. This story has been told a hundred and thousand times from a hundred and thousand perspectives, but never from this view. It is not ironic, that the story of America begins with the dream of India. In the Mahabharata, the Hindu’s epic poem of creation, which may be comparable to the mythological literature coopted by religious orders from all over the world, both structurally and thematically. Arjuna, the great warrior, had just returned from a gladiator match and shouted in excitement to inform his mother, Kunti, that he had won something so precious. Kunti, in her wisdom, surmised that since Arjuna had gone with his brothers, the Pandavas, said in her authoritative mode that "Whatever it is, share among all 5 of you". ‘Mother, but I have won my bride’, said Arjuna; her name is Draupadi. Kunti, who wouldn’t go back on her words, said:“You must share her with your brothers.”

The knowledge of time is inherent in every nature, human reasoning, and in the human understanding of itself and its environment. Every culture has an understanding of the universe as a non-static concept. Therefore, the knowledge of time is encompassing and literally universal. However, although time exists in itself, yet we do not see, feel, or hear it; the effect and influences of time are present and determinant in all things. Could this also prove that God exist, though we cannot see, hear, or touch God. " In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of the Hindu Godhead, gives his own answer in a few words. 'Time I am. The great destroyer of the worlds.' Time, according to the Gita and other Vedic literatures, is an inconceivable energy of the Supreme Lord, through which He ultimately destroys everything." However, Time also creates and restores. Time does everything we credit to God. Time, thus, is of God. Indeed, "beyond the walls of the Universe that we know, Time assumes a different feature". We measure time in terms of its relativity. The Theory of Relativity, propounded by Max Planck and Alfred Buchereror before it was made famous by Albert Einstein, stated that measurements of various quantities are relative to the velocities of the observer. In particular, Einstein said space contracts and time dilates, and thus, space and time should be considered together and in relation to each other. This is important, not only in itself but also to be understood by the basic mindset. Time is different for the separate observers based on their circumstances. It is therefore about how the separately subsisting entities reconcile their observations about congruence of the complexity of hierarchy within the universal ecosystem. The time the earth takes to orbit the sun, we name as a year. The time the moon takes to orbit the earth, we name as a month. And the time the earth takes to revolve on its axis, we name as a day. To further divide our days into hours, minutes seconds and milliseconds, we observe other objects. A week is a time unit equal to seven days. Week has no natural relevance other than the fact that it was a specific human device created as the standard time period used for controlling the cycles of work days and rest days. The English word week comes from the Old English wice, ultimately from a Common Germanic wikōn-, from a root wik-"turn, move, change". The Germanic word probably had a wider meaning prior to the adoption of the

Leopold II (9 April 1835 – 17 December 1909) was the second King of the Belgians, known for the founding and exploitation of the Congo Free State as a private venture at the time (19th century) the largest swath of African land under the control of a colonial power (one million square miles. "Sovereign-King of the Congo Free State," though he never set foot there, ruled the Congo as his own personal fiefdom. Leopold, one of the most cruel and imperious 19th century European heads of state. To fulfill his ambition, in 1876 Leopold organized a private holding company disguised as an international scientific and philanthropic association, which he called the International African Society, or the International Association for the Exploration and Civilization of the Congo. In 1878, under the auspices of the holding company, he contracted famous explorer Henry Morton Stanley to explore and establish a colony in the Congo region. Much diplomatic maneuvering among European nations resulted in the Berlin Conference of 1884–1885 regarding African affairs, at which representatives of fourteen European countries and the United States recognized Leopold as sovereign of most of the area to which he and Stanley had laid claim. On 5 February 1885, the Congo Free State, an area 76 times larger than Belgium, was established under Leopold II's personal rule and private army, the Force Publique. Born in Brussels as the second (but eldest surviving) son of Leopold I and Louise of Orléans, he succeeded his father to the throne on 17 December 1865, reigning for exactly 44 years until his death. This was the longest reign of any Belgian monarch. He used great sums of the money from this exploitation for public and private construction projects in Belgium during this period. Under withering worldwide indictment over his treatment of the native population, Leopold was forced to sell the Congo to the Belgian government in 1908.

The outcome of that election sent a wave of surprise and trepidation around the world. We knew at that moment, that the United States of America has reached a new crossroad that may forever change our cause for humanity. Many of us are afraid, many of us alarmed, many are still deeply troubled by the possibility of re-experiencing the drastic results of racial arrogances that culminated in blatant destruction of precious human lives across time. We all remember the Trail of Tears, Shark Island, Greenwood in Tulsa, ButcherQaeda, ISIL, Boko Haram, Abu Ghraib, 9/11, Guantanamo, and so many other tragic death traps that marred human history across time and around the world. The progress that we have made in the tenure of human civilization was marked by a speech delivered by President Ronald Reagan to the people of West Berlin a little over two decades ago. That faithful afternoon, in West Berlin on June 12, 1987, Reagan said, " We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! " The Berlin Wall, referred to by the President, was built by Communists in August 1961 to keep Germans from escaping Communist-dominated East Berlin into Democratic West Berlin. The twelve-foot concrete wall extended for a hundred miles, surrounding West Berlin, and included electrified fences and guard posts. The wall stood as a stark symbol of the decades-old Cold War between the United States and Soviet Russia in which the two politically opposed superpowers continually wrestled for dominance, stopping just short of actual nuclear warfare. We have since come a long way in the progress of human development and world peace. Because of the peace between the East and the West, we have made a huge leap in the world of technology, medicine, humanities, and trade; the world has become more cohesive and tolerant. However, a new wave of religious defiance, civil unrest, and sectarian wars persist especially in the middle east. Disharmony and divisions are once again encroaching upon us all, as we found ourselves at the mercy of leaders whose yearning for power and record of arbitrary decisions reflects uncertainty and high level of risk. The new leader of the free world threatens to build a wall between our nation and its neighbor; threatens to pull U.S. out of World Trade Organization and threatens to pull U.S. funding for the United Nations. This is revealing of perhaps unintended retraction of the advancement of human civilization. He has reawakened unprecedented apostles of greed and racial arrogances who are nihilistic of everything we hold dear and erode the cultural rapprochement and civil right improvement we have made in our society. This brings the gravity of the challenges we face with the new administration in the new year and coming years to a new level of concern. We are in a time where we can predict weather patterns, we can predict volcanic eruption, we can see far into other galaxies. We understand the lessons of historical challenges, we can interpret previous experiences in-order to engage current challenges, as well as to prepare for future challenges. Our diversity is our strength, it provides us with so many resources and it is time to tap...
