A Legend is being born right before our eyes!
โšซ๐Ÿ‰ Hฤ“ilรณng "The Black Dragon"
๐Ÿ‘‘ Last of the 3 African Kings
๐ŸŒ The Greatest African Fighter in UFC History

IS~R A~EL ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ ADร‰Sร€NYร€ !!!
By the end of the year, with a win in his rumored upcoming fight vs Dricus de Plessis, Izzy will make history and officially be on his way to becoming the greatest Middleweight of All Time.
with the Dricus win he'll have:
๐Ÿ… 12 title fights
๐Ÿ… 11 PPV headliners
๐Ÿ… 9 title fight wins
๐Ÿ… 8+ fight bonuses
๐Ÿ… 5 title defenses
๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿพ Most Knockdowns in UFC Middleweight History
๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ† 3x Undisputed Middleweight Champion
Tumblr media
he is on the verge of Middleweight GOAT status. once he beats Dricus, if he can win the Strickland rematch then turn around and beat the winner of Whittaker vs Chimaev, he'll have tied Silva in title wins at 11. couple that with his rรฉsumรฉ, his strength of schedule, his activity, the fact that he did what Silva couldn't by recapturing the title twice, and all of the hype storylines behind a lot of his fights; he could be looking at a pretty strong case for having surpassed Anderson.

Surely a wicked spirit to fear, Madam Koi Koi's legend has spread out from its origins in Nigeria to haunt the students of other African countries.

(The trump pic made me laugh so I had to include it)
Robbie there is just right on the edge of getting it, at least he seems to know that this is something that took place.
The reason they're telling his story, if it is based on him, is because why not tell his story, we've got 1000 pieces of media about
This is a article from 2010 about the guy robbie mentions there.
As London suffered the full force of the German Luftwaffe bombing raids 70 years ago this week the story of Nigerian Ita Ekpenyon has been uncovered by the City of Westminster Archives.
The blitz and the response of Londoners is now the stuff of legend and the story of Ita demonstrates that integrity, responsibility commitment and sacrifice are not qualities confined to the English.
Ita Ekpenyon is the personification of Londonโ€™s Blitz spirit and he along with over 15.000 Africans living in London at the time are for the first time being recognised and their bravery acknowledged.
Ita Ekpenyon was one of over 200,000 Londoners who volunteered as Air Raid Protection (ARP) wardens.
Black British experiences from the Blitz, is now being told by City of Westminster Archives in a new project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Ita arrived in London from Nigeria in 1921 at the age of 28. When war broke out in 1939 he was living at 146 Great Titchfield Street, near Oxford Circus, and studying to become a lawyer.
At 46, Ita was too old for military service but his sense of civic duty led him to volunteer for civilian defence duties. On 5 February 1940, Ita was enrolled as an ARP Warden with D Section, St Marylebone Borough Council Civil Defence Volunteer group. According to his unitโ€™s records, he experienced raid after raid, putting out incendiary bomb fires, giving first aid and conducting population counts as the bombs fell all over the capital. ______________________________________
Sounds like a story that's begging to be told to me right there, kinda wish that was what it is about, looks to be more than that though. _________________________________________
George, McQueenโ€™s child protagonist, was inspired by a picture the filmmaker came across while researching his television series Small Axe, which showed a small black boy being evacuated from the city. On his journey back home to his mother after being evacuated, George discovers much about his city โ€“ and himself.
A key scene shows George wandering through the old Islington Empire Arcade, encountering dioramas and murals of black workers, ever under the control of their white colonial masters. There he meets Isey, a Nigerian air raid warden, who cares for him and finds him a space in a shelter.
The shelter shows the diversity of blitzed London that was captured by the photographer Bill Brandt: Jewish families, Sikh families and white families crammed together in the squalor of the makeshift shelters below the city in the first weeks of air raids. When a white couple try to segregate the shelter by race, Isey reprimands them, reminding them that they are all fighting Hitler and the Nazi belief in a race war.
Blitz deserves to find a large audience. Not just because it retells a familiar story in a new way and gives voice to those whose stories are often overlooked, but because of what it has to say about who those blitzed Londoners, so central to British memory of the war, actually were.
In imagining the story of that small boy in the photo, McQueen helps us to re-imagine not just the blitz, but wartime Britain more widely. His sprawling, dramatic film reminds us that this is a shared history, one with meaning for many more people today than we might usually remember. ____________________________________
Aside what ever current year stuff they shoehorn in this seems like a good concept for a film.
And as for the answer to the question of "why" I'll say it's because it's the film the filmmaker wanted to make if you don't want to watch it then don't if you'd like a different story told then tell it yourself. _____________________
Here's some more about Contributions by Black Britons during the Blitz, because apparently some people didn't think they existed or contributed, or aren't worth mentioning or something.
Tumblr media
For Black History Month historian Stephen Bourne tells us about some of the Black people involved in the fire service in the 1930s and 40s.
And I'll end with, the Steve McQueen making this movie is a totally different one than the one that died in 1980, in case there was any questions about that.

FELA KUTI Toronto 1989
Even though it went unpublished anywhere for over twenty-five years, my 1989 portrait sitting with Nigerian musical legend Fela Kuti is probably one of my most important shoots. It happened because, to put it plainly, I wanted it to happen, and did my level best to make it happen. I was a fan and had photographed Fela at a press conference here in 1987, doing publicity for a concert that ended up not happening for two more years. I was in a bit of a lacuna in my career when a new concert was announced, first at a soccer stadium not far from where I lived, before it was moved to the old Masonic Temple downtown, also known as the Concert Hall. I wasnโ€™t shooting regularly for any publication at the time, so I was working strictly on spec when I contacted Gary Froude, the promoter of the show, to see if I could get permission not just to photograph the concert but possibly a few minutes for a portrait sitting. To my surprise he said yes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fela Anikulapo Kuti was born to a prosperous family in Nigeria in 1938 and made his name with Africa 70, his first big band, attracting the attention of musicians like Ginger Baker and Paul McCartney. He also became a vocal opponent of Nigeriaโ€™s government, criticizing them as he recorded prolifically, on albums like Confusion, Expensive Shit, Zombie, No Agreement and many others. In 1977 his Lagos compound was raided; Fela as beaten severely and his mother was fatally injured when she was thrown out a window. By the end of the decade heโ€™d formed a new band, Egypt 80, and began releasing records like Army Arrangement and Teacher Donโ€™t Teach Me Nonsense on labels in Europe and America. The Nigerian government jailed him on charges of currency smuggling in 1984, and in 1986 he performed at an Amnesty International concert in Giants Stadium. But ticket sales for his show in Toronto in 1989 were slow, forcing it to be moved to a smaller venue; Iโ€™m not sure the promoter made any money on it, but I remember it as one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I showed up to photography Fela Kuti around soundcheck and set up my modest lighting in a big dressing room in the basement of the Concert Hall on Yonge Street. Most of all I remember that Fela was one of the most intimidating men I have ever met, and that we began the portrait sitting with a series of rather straightforward shots on my Mamiya C330 camera. After finishing a roll Fela signaled for a break; he stretched out on a couch and began smoking the largest joint I had seen in my life for over a half hour. When the portrait session resumed he was, as I once wrote, rather heroically stoned, and these photos were far looser, as Fela glowered and pulled at his face. Iโ€™ve included every worthwhile frame I shot that afternoon on this post โ€“ the first time many of these shots have ever been published. Fela Kuti died of complications from AIDS in 1997.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I returned that night to shoot the show, going through several rolls of colour and black and white film, after which everything sat in my files for over two decades until I posted a few shots on my old blog. They came to the attention of Rikki Stein, Felaโ€™s onetime manager, who arranged for them to appear for the first time in a 2017 box set of Felaโ€™s records curated by Erykah Badu. Since then my Fela shots have been reprinted frequently; they were featured as part of a nightclub set on the Netflix reboot of the prime time soap Dynasty, on a line of t-shirts made by Carhartt, and in a Fela exhibit in Paris in 2023. Last year one of my live shots of Fela was on the cover of the debut issue of Rolling Stone Africa, which felt like vindication for that spec shoot Iโ€™d begged to do almost four decades ago. (Though I still wish theyโ€™d gone with one of these portraits.)

THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW AND WHY FELA KUTI MARRIED 27 WOMEN ON THE SAME DAY IN 1978 (A must read)
In 1978, the pioneer of Afrobeats, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, married 27 women in one day. This should not be strange to those who know the life and style of the Nigerian music legend nicknamed Abami Eda (strange creature).
Many of Felaโ€™s band members became homeless after the devastating soldier attack on Felaโ€™s commune (Kalakuta Republic) in 1977. In order to keep them together, Fela decided to do the unusual.
He gave a piece of paper to his female band members requesting the names of those that would like to marry him; the entire twenty-seven female band members put down their names.
After getting their consent, Fela Kuti married the 27 women on the 20th of February, 1978, at the Parisona Hotel in Anthony, Lagos, with the blessings of twelve Ifa priests. It was alleged that some parents of the ladies objected the marriage.
Fela married the women to protect and keep them together. The marriage ceremony was attended by Felaโ€™s families, friends and other band members.
During the marriage ceremony, Fela rendered a short speech, pressed naira notes on his new wivesโ€™ foreheads and gave them marriage certificates. Fela embraced a rotation system of 12 wives at a time. After the marriage, Fela took his 27 wives to Ghana for honeymoon.
However, in 1986, shortly after his release from prison, Fela Kuti divorced his 27 wives on the claim that marriage brings jealousy. It should be noted that they were not forced to leave his house after the divorce; some lived with him till his death in 1997.

A Kenyan British lady and her Nigerian British husband. They give a beautiful description of why they want to preserve the Britain that they traveled to become a part of.
You can come here and practice any religion. We have a stated value of mutually respecting different faith, cultures etc.
But notice this is 'Mutual' respect, that goes both way.
If there are people who refuse to render you respect for respect, then most of us will be on your side.
All that we ask is that people come here free to practice their own faiths, but whilst respecting the Christian foundation on which our country has been built.
Bring and practice your culture, along with your religion. As long as it doesn't violate any of our laws, we're fine with it.
All we ask for is to respect our native culture. And yes, we do have a culture
. We have foods and drinks that have a British (English, Welsh, Scots, N irish character) Try them out. They may not be spicy. But they do have their own tastiness.
We have loads of music, stretching back through centuries by home grown composers and performers.
Books, plays poetry - You've heard of Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Keats? All British, and there are plenty more.
Folklore and fairy tales - We have four different countries, with their own myths, legends, folklore and fairy tales.
I highly recommend them all.
We love a celebration as much as anyone. Look at how we celebrate Christmas. Think of December as a month long festival of light, music, stories, food, drink and lots of good will. Check out The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's College Cambridge. You can get it on BBC Radio 4 from Christmas Eve onward.
Easter - Parts of the country have their own customs from the beginning of Lent onwards.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Races, Egg Rolling
Not sure why Maypole's are here in the Easter section. It's more usually at the beginning of May, the Pagan festival of Beltane, heralding the early days of Summer.
Morris dancing seems rather silly. But it's fun and began as a Spring fertility dance.
Cornwall - Some Cornish people want to be separate from England, some don't. But they're still British, either way
The Countryside - It's not racist. If you live here, it's yours to love and take care of too.
Go and visit, no one's going to stop you. See this gorgeous landscape that we need to take care of and protect.
Our History. - It's there for us to learn from, not to judge.
Some terrible things were done in our past.This is true
So, we find ways to not let it happen again. Most British people are fine with that.
Guess what. All but the tiny but worst percentage of people think this slavery is disgusting.
We don't want to fall into that trap again, so yes, let's keep learning about it.
But also we should learn the full history of slavery thousands, and I do mean many thousands of years ago. Jewish slaves taken to Babylon.
And the worst part? That history isn't over, how about we make up for our part in slavery in the past, by fighting slavery going on right now.
British Empire - Yes, it had some advantages. But that came at the price of a country not being allowed the freedom to rule itself, and that sucks.
So, I think most Brits are happy that it ended. The Commonwealth is a group of independent, self governing nations, that chose to keep the British Monarch as Head of State.
Are there improvements that can be made? I'm sure there are plenty. Let's work on that, rather than focusing on the problems of the past. We can make the present and future better. But the past is what it was.
British Heroes - Were these people paragons of virtue? Err No! They were people, imperfect just like us.
But we celebrate them today, because they did something extra special that helped our country.
Try learning about them. Yes, the bad as well as the good. But remember that it's not the bad that we celebrate them for, so why would we be ashamed of what made them human?
Look at what they did, and even if you can't celebrate them too. You'll at least see why many of us do.
A great speech dear Madam and Sir.
I'm delighted to call you and your children my compatriots.

Hello everyone, it's time for a new book list! This month, I've made a list of books inspired by folklore. Hope you enjoy! I tried to include stories from different countries and cultures. As always, please be sure to vote using the link at the end of the post :)
Onto the books...
Gods of Jade and Shadow, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Tumblr media
The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfatherโ€™s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own.
Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfatherโ€™s room. She opens itโ€”and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopeaโ€™s demise, but success could make her dreams come true.
In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey from the jungles of Yucatรกn to the bright lights of Mexico Cityโ€”and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld.
Deathless, by Catherynne M. Valente
Tumblr media
Koschei the Deathless is to Russian folklore what devils or wicked witches are to European culture: a menacing, evil figure; the villain of countless stories which have been passed on through story and text for generations. But Koschei has never before been seen through the eyes of Catherynne Valente, whose modernized and transformed take on the legend brings the action to modern times, spanning many of the great developments of Russian history in the twentieth century.
Deathless, however, is no dry, historical tome: it lights up like fire as the young Marya Morevna transforms from a clever child of the revolution, to Koscheiโ€™s beautiful bride, to his eventual undoing. Along the way there are Stalinist house elves, magical quests, secrecy and bureaucracy, and games of lust and power. All told,ย Deathlessย is a collision of magical history and actual history, of revolution and mythology, of love and death, which will bring Russian myth back to life in a stunning new incarnation.
Things in Jars, by Jess Kidd
Tumblr media
Bridie Devine, female detective extraordinaire, is confronted with the most baffling puzzle yet: the kidnapping of Christabel Berwick, secret daughter of Sir Edmund Athelstan Berwick, and a peculiar child whose reputed supernatural powers have captured the unwanted attention of collectors trading curiosities in this age of discovery.
Winding her way through the labyrinthine, sooty streets of Victorian London, Bridie wonโ€™t rest until she finds the young girl, even if it means unearthing a past that sheโ€™d rather keep buried. Luckily, her search is aided by an enchanting cast of characters, including a seven-foot tall housemaid; a melancholic, tattoo-covered ghost; and an avuncular apothecary. But secrets abound in this foggy underworld where spectacle is king and nothing is quite what it seems.
Blending darkness and light, history and folklore, Things in Jars is a spellbinding Gothic mystery that collapses the boundary between fact and fairy tale to stunning effect and explores what it means to be human in inhumane times.
Love in Colour: Mythical Tales from Around the World, Retold - by Bolu Babalola
Tumblr media
A high-born Nigerian goddess, who has been beaten down and unappreciated by her gregarious lover, longs to be truly seen.
A young businesswoman attempts a great leap in her company, and an even greater one in her love life.
A powerful Ghanaian spokeswoman is forced to decide whether she should uphold her familyโ€™s politics or be true to her heart.
In her debut collection, internationally acclaimed writer Bolu Babalola retells the most beautiful love stories from history and mythology with incredible new detail and vivacity. Focusing on the magical folktales of West Africa, Babalola also reimagines Greek myths, ancient legends from the Middle East, and stories from long-erased places.
With an eye towards decolonizing tropes inherent in our favorite tales of love, Babalola has created captivating stories that traverse across perspectives, continents, and genres.
A Master of Djinn, by P. Djรจlรญ Clark
Tumblr media
Cairo, 1912: Though Fatma el-Shaโ€™arawi is the youngest woman working for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, sheโ€™s certainly not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last summer.
So when someone murders a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most famous men in history, al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called onto the case. Al-Jahiz transformed the world 50 years ago when he opened up the veil between the magical and mundane realms, before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer claims to be al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets of Cairo that threaten to spill over onto the global stage.
Alongside her Ministry colleagues and her clever girlfriend Siti, Agent Fatma must unravel the mystery behind this imposter to restore peace to the city -or face the possibility he could be exactly who he seemsโ€ฆ
Please vote for our next book here.
