Africa necessitates more writers, researchers, scholars, and revolutionaries willing to defend Africa’s sovereignty and elucidate its rich heritage through their works. Moreover, a substantial population of people who are not averse to reading, whether in their local language or English, is crucial. I am delighted to follow in the footsteps of luminaries such as Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, Cheikh Anta Diop, Kwameh Nkuruma, Anenechukwu Umeh, Catherine Acholonu, Adiele Afigbo, Elizabeth Isichei, Chimamanda Adichie, and numerous others. My ability to effortlessly handle research and writing on African history, philosophy, archaeology, culture, spirituality, and fiction in the vein of Chinua Achebe is a unique aspect of my work, which I sometimes struggle to explain. However, I am grateful to Agwu, the deity of divine wisdom, intuition, and intelligence, for guiding me on this path. Notably, I did not study these subjects in school, as my academic background lies in science, specifically microbiology, at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Following my National Youth Service Corps, I began reading books and articles on African history, archaeology, culture, and related topics, which broadened my understanding of our heritage. I commenced writing articles and fiction books in 2015 and, by 2017/2018, had compiled a catalog of articles on the transatlantic slave trade and African riches. I established a blog, Liberty Writers Africa, in 2018, where I published my articles, garnering a significant readership from African Americans in the United States and Africans worldwide. My research and writing have focused on African history, black consciousness, and spiritual reawakening, with a specific emphasis on Igbo cosmology and spirituality since 2021, as I believe that saving my indigenous people is essential to saving the entire black race. Through my research and writing, I have observed that, despite the emphasis on European education, many Africans in Africa have an aversion to reading. The majority of our educated individuals prefer watching videos and following trends. Despite the praise for education in Africa, there is a limited group interested in reading for knowledge that will emancipate them. Consequently, my research has also explored producing documents that will encourage the majority of Africans to read about their history, philosophy, spirituality, culture, traditions, and worldview. Although many now prefer video content, it is crucial for researchers and writers to document and preserve Africa’s history, archaeology, philosophy, culture, traditions, spirituality, metaphysics, and sociology for future generations. I am dedicated to the emancipation of the African mind through research, writing, teaching, and advocacy. I hope that Africa will produce numerous young individuals like myself, committed to the betterment of the motherland. My book, The Attack On Critical Race Theory, contributes to the defense of African history in the United States and worldwide, fighting against Caucasian propaganda that seeks to silence the African voice. We have the right to discuss the oppression of our people by Europeans, and any attempt to suppress this knowledge in schools is an invitation to further oppression of the black man.

Has a Black African Ever Served as Pope? Many people ask this question, and the answer may surprise you. In the past, three Popes have originated from the African continent: Pope Victor I, Pope Miltiades, and Pope Gelasius I, all from North Africa (present-day Tunisia/Algeria) during the Roman Empire era. However, these Popes were not Black Africans in the Sub-Saharan sense we commonly refer to today; rather, they were ethnically white or of Romanized Berber ancestry. To date, no Black African has ever held the office of Pope. Nevertheless, this could change within our lifetime. Certain individuals, such as Cardinal Francis Arinze from Nigeria and Cardinal Peter Turkson from Ghana, have been mentioned in recent years as potential candidates for the papacy. Their leadership, wisdom, and faith have inspired countless people. As the Catholic Church continues to experience rapid growth in Africa, the prospect of a Black Pope from the continent is becoming increasingly plausible. When this occurs, it will signify a pivotal moment in the Church’s history, serving as a reminder that faith transcends color and borders. The question is no longer if, but when.
