Great African Kingdoms

This collection presents a small sampling of the many great African kingdoms that rose and fell from the ancient period when Punt traded with Egypt up through the common era. Each kingdom developed a distinct culture and corresponding art and religious belief that continues to influence people around the world in the present day.

The Time Has Come

In a world where truths are twisted,By the tales the creeps crafted,As if we’re puppets on strings,Dancing to the lies they bring… I hope we’re done with this thing,Because we’ve strayed from our ways,Breeding nothing but chaos,Where peace once reigned…Let this be our redirection,Navigating our way,Through the chaos and dismay,Under the guidance of those who came before…As we draw strength from…

Take her to your ancestral home and share the story of your kingdom. Give her a title and empower her to occupy the role of wife to the King’s first son’s first son. Crown her with your heart and she will rise to the occasion. If only this were a novel, but it’s real life. Real and royal! 👑❤️🙌🏾 #AkuneziriHistory #EkeneFuture #Ihitenansa #ImoState It’s so deep... it’ll be a while before it all sinks in. For now I’ll be grateful for the privilege of learning authentic ancestry and shaping its future. It makes me crave the knowledge of my full history. I wish this knowledge (in whatever forms available) for all my people of African descent. It’s liberation at its peak! #KnowThySelf #MateWell #Leadership #AfricanKingdoms #FindYourVillage #WeAllHaveAKingdom #Ancestry #HisNigeria #MarriedIgbo (at Imo (state))

#Repost @kishlb • • • • • • African King Who Almost Bankrupted Britain With A Lawsuit For Killing 2.4 Million Of Bunyoro People By Obiwuru Igbo - June 17, 2020 More than a decade ago, a half-forgotten #colonialexpedition to subjugate what #Britishcolonialists considered a quarrelsome #Africankingdom more than a century ago could have left #Britain bankrupt if a #Ugandanking succeeded in bringing a £3.7 trillion suit against the Crown. According to a report by Telegraph, in 2004, #RukirabasaijaSolomonGafabusaIguru I, the #omukamaofBunyoro―a kingdom in western #Uganda―at the time had never forgiven the #British for the disposition of his grandfather, #ChwaIIKabalega, and for stealing his cattle during a five-year war in the 1890s. The report states: “Dressed in his blue velvet coronation robes, richly embroidered in white and gold, the king peered down from one of his thrones yesterday and condemned the “#colonialterrorism” of #QueenVictoria’s government. “The British burned down houses, destroyed crops and introduced syphilis to my people,” the king said. “They were responsible for the deaths of 2.4 million people. Moreover, they stole my grandfather’s cattle and ivory. It is not what we expected from civilized people. What they did then is no different to what al-Qa’eda is doing today,” he added. The king and his courtiers were said to have retained lawyers in both Uganda and Britain and were planning to begin proceedings, possibly in London, at the time. However, it is not immediately verifiable―to the writer―whether they went ahead or not, as at the time of writing. It should be noted that the British had committed a host of #atrocities against #Bunyoro in their bid to oust Kabalega; an expedition which began when #SirSamuelBaker, in 1872, tried―and failed―to annex Bunyoro and the entire #LakeVictoria region to the equatorial province of #Egypt. For five years, from around 1894, Bunyoro had waged war against the British who continuously sought to colonise the kingdom. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKVX1wl22-/?igshid=1ez6ejs4pjr28

A Lesson From The Past 💜

One of the key lessons we can learn from Queen Labotsibeni’s leadership is the importance of strategic decision-making. During her regency, she faced threats from neighboring European powers seeking to exploit Eswatini’s resources. She identified the need to protect her kingdom’s independence, and effectively negotiated with British and South African authorities to ensure that her people retained…
