Follow Ups Post Followup Afrikan Frontline NEWSBoard Posted by Zeru Isaac on May 05, 1998 at 21:35:16: In Reply to: Is Afrika exclusive of Saudi peninsula? posted by Bessai ibn Atta on January 20, 1998 at 21:17:17: My personal interpretation of who is African is that it is not determined by geology or even geography but by ethnicity (culture and language)as well as race or genetics. These two concepts are not always the same because people might assimilate to a varying degree to an ethnic group without having or only partly having their genetic background. For example Arab is an ethnic group which infact includes many races and genetic backgrounds who have assimilated to the original Arabs in language, religion and to some extent the culture (Arabian culture has also been under non Arab influence like Berber, Phoenician, Byzantine, Turkish, Roman, Hellenistic and so on). Ethnicity is to me generally a state of mind but somehow genetics can´t be neglected or ignored. If one is similar to the ethnic group from the beginning (genetically that is) then one can simply adopt the culture and language and assimilate. A Swede and a

Africa Nigerian Muslim leader says 300 killed Calls weekend attack 'genocide' May 6, 2004 LAGOS, Nigeria Nigeria's top Islamic leader said yesterday that 300 people, mostly Muslims, were killed by ethnic Tarok Christians in an attack on the central town of Yelwa on Sunday. ADVERTISEMENT Justice Abdulkadir Orire, secretary general of Jama'atu Nasril Islam, described the killings with machine guns in the remote farming town as ''genocide." He said 700 to 800 people had now been killed in three months of ethnic violence in central Nigeria. ''The information we have is that 300 people died [in Yelwa], and they are mostly Muslims," Orire said in a telephone interview from his Kaduna headquarters. ''We call it a genocide because they are killing women and children." Conflict between the Christian Tarok and Muslim Fulani is rooted in competing claims over fertile land at the heart of Africa's most populous nation. It also is fueled by religious and ethnic differences. Orire, a leader of Nigeria's 60 million Muslims, criticized Plateau state governor Joshua Dariye, a Christian, saying he had not taken care of the region's people.

Debunking the Northern Myth of the So-called Belief in Violence by the Yorubas and the Supremacy of Ethnicity as Factors in Nigerian Politics By Omoba Oladele Osinuga osinugao@hotmail.com It is imperative that in writing this article, issues raised in previous articles by Ahmed Tafida Jalingo titled “Ethnic cleaning Hausa/Fulani in Dilemma” Dr Aliyu Tilde’s; “Ige and nemesis” have sought to misrepresent the role of the Yoruba’s in nation building. In shaming a minority group of writers who take delight in peddling disunity and asserting cultural hegemony, I should start by espousing my antecedents and family ties to Northern Nigeria (could they say the same about themselves?). Firstly two uncles of mine both of blessed memory, Chief Hassan Odukale the late Chief Executive and Founder of Leadway Assurance PLC and his brother Pa A. Odukale, late Principal Private Secretary to the golden voice of Africa the late Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa extolled the virtues of coexistence, tolerance and living in harmony with people of Northern Nigeria. Secondly my spouse’s maternal grandmother family ties are Hausa. Thirdly as an indigene of the Ijebu Remo, a substantial minority of Hausa/Fulani have resided in the Sabo area of Sagamu – Remo since the turn of the last century. At this juncture it is pertinent to address the issues raised by certain disingenuous Northern writers within the past few weeks.

Home Indigenous Africa The Concept Of Wealth In Traditional Africa George B.N. Ayittey Most lineages in traditional Africa have a "family pot," a general welfare fund managed by the head of the extended family. Income-earning members are obligated to make contributions to this fund. Obligations vary from family to family and tribe to tribe. The contributor in some cases may make a minimum regular payment. In other cases, the contribution may be irregular and based upon financial ability. In some families, contributions may be entirely voluntary for those who no longer live in the village. However, failure to contribute is often interpreted as an abandonment of one's family, which is considered a serious transgression. The offender may be ostracized or caused to forfeit his inheritance rights. However, atonement can often be made with one "large" contribution to cover past arrears. Across Africa, the family pot, called the agbadoho among the Ewe seine fishermen of Ghana, is used for a variety of purposes: to provide the initial start-up capital for a business or trade; to finance the education, hospitalization and the foreign trip of a member of the extended family; to cover funeral expenses; to finance improvement costs to the family land; or to construct new dwellings. The African family pot, not well understood, has also been the source of much confusion and myth. The erroneous corollary was the assumption that there were neither poverty nor rich peasants in pre-colonial Africa. Even the United Nations Regional Department on Social Welfare Policy and Training of the Economic Commission for Africa, succumbed to this myth in 1972:

The Susu in the coastal area, the Malinke (Mandingo) and Fula (Fulani) in the east, Tenda and Kissi in the south are the main ethnic groups. Religion An estimated 85% of the 7 million people in Guinea are Muslim and 8% are Christians. 7% of the population follows native religions and animist beliefs. Language The official language of Guinea is French and is spoken in all major towns and remote areas as well. Local African languages are also spoken - these languages include Susu, Malinke and Fulani. Food Local cuisine is made of staples such as cassava, yam and maize. Hot maize soup is is one of the local specialties and are served from calabashes. International cuisine is available only in the restaurants in capital city, Conakry. Jollof rice, stuffed chicken with chips, delicious fish dishes and French pastries are some of the goodies on the menu in the major cities. Education 35.9% of the population of Guinea is literate. This is mainly the outcome of extreme poverty and lack of facilities. While the main cities have schools, colleges and universities the remote areas still have to build infrastructure.

Narratives Back to Africa By Mwatabu S. Okantah I understand, now, why Langston Hughes titled one of his autobiographies, " I Wonder As I Wander." The wondering and the wandering began in my life at about the same time I discovered my affinity for the work of Hughes, and several other black writers: Zora Neale Hurston, Aime Cesaire, Gwendolyn Brooks, Leon Damas, Lance Jeffers and Toni Morrison. I did not realize then that this wondering and wandering that began in some distant place in my mind would lead me to my own cultural heritage in West Africa. I did not realize then that there was relief to be found waiting inside the culture, that there was peace to still the tension; self-knowledge to embrace the alienation.
