Kora virtuoso, Sona Jobarteh says African youths must be exposed to a new kind of educational experience not the colonised education that tells them they are inferior. That European colonial legacy needs to make way for a new system where the African child is taught to believe in himself.

In an interview with Africa Web TV, Sona Jobarteh discusses her music, her academy in The Gambia which is redefining African education, the new western acceptance of African music but also wonders if the same people will accept African people! She also spoke of her musical heroes including Toumani Diabate and Ballake Cissoko

Dissecting the myth that European colonialists built Africa. The West has long controlled the global narrative through media, academia, and industry. So when African cultures do something first, it’s often ignored and vilified. When the West adopts the same thing, it’s seen as a breakthrough. Africans have often been made to feel ashamed of their own innovations, only to see the same ideas celebrated globally once the West finds a way to adopt, and sell them. Africa Web TV's creative director, Femi Soewu says in this, the latest edition of The African Narratives Podcast that, Africans must stop allowing others to define who we are. Because when we don’t tell our stories, they tell them for us and they leave out our brilliance. But we are not what they say we are. We are what we say we are. We should teach African children African heroes and be proud of African achievements.

Joshua Maponga says democracy is not going to work in Africa and calls for benevolent dictatorship citing Captain Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso as an example of someone who is reshaping African and the world. Joshua Maponga was speaking in London during the 50th anniversary celebration of UK African Liberation Day.

When we, as Africans, talk about our pain — the centuries of loss, the degradation, the theft of land, dignity, history, culture, names and identity — we are not attacking you. We are healing. We are reaching into our past not to throw stones, but to pick up the pieces of our shattered story.When we speak of our pain, we are not asking for pity or for you to feel guilty. We are asking for something much simpler: acknowledgment. Acknowledge the role that your ancestors played in the shaping of the world we live in today.

We are not asking you to carry the weight of that past but we are asking for your recognition. We are asking for a chance to heal, to move forward, and to reclaim what was stolen from us. Because without acknowledgment, healing is impossible. Without recognition, reconciliation is impossible.

Don’t tell us how to feel. Walk beside us. Acknowledge. Learn. Reflect. Teach your children about the whole story not just the parts that make Europe and The USA look noble.

Support African businesses. Celebrate African art without appropriating it. Give space in the global conversation for African voices, not just African tragedies. Ultimately, we don’t want division. We want dignity. We don’t want revenge. We want restoration. We want to arrive on the other side — where our children, yours and mine, can sit at the same table, proud of their histories, respectful of each other’s roots, building a future that is whole.

Where we are no longer fighting to be seen as equals — but simply are. Watch the visual podcast here: https://youtu.be/k5pPccLPGAM

It is time for Africans to embrace their African names and and their rich heritage. When we call ourselves or someone else by a name, we’re acknowledging their history and, in many cases, the story of where they come from. Names carry meaning, often specific meanings that can relate to family history, significant events, or even spiritual beliefs. Names are more than just labels; they are the first reflection of our identity to the world. A name carries with it history, culture, time, and place. It’s a bridge that connects us to our roots, our ancestors, and our heritage.

For many Africans, that connection has been severed, disrupted, or altered due to centuries of colonialism, the transatlantic and trans-Saharan slave trades, and cultural erasure. many African-Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Africans in the diaspora still bear European names, names that were not chosen by their ancestors but imposed upon them as part of a process to dehumanise and dominate.

For Africans who were enslaved, names were tools of control—tools that erased their original identity. Enslaved Africans could no longer trace their ancestors to a specific African region or community. This has created a generation of Africans in the diaspora who struggle with an identity crisis, disconnected from the cultural histories of their African forebears.

Young pan-Africanist and spiritually conscious African, Ali Abdi believes the only way for Africans to take control of their destinies is to follow the example of the 3 Sahel African countries and topple their current leaders. Ali Abdi says environmental pollution by Western countries is destroying Africa. Instead of sending troops to invade Africa, the west is now sending men in suits to do their dirty work.
