Omowale Self-Determined Name Gift (An Acronym)  - Linganya (Harmonise)

The ability for Afrikan souls to name themselves is substance gifted by the Creator Supreme brought into fruition through self-determined effort. Afrikan names are deeply meaningful and a living part of the soul. The Afrikan name is not an id-tag, label or merely aesthetic. Rather, it embodies life purpose, character, vision and beingness of the person. The great hero Omowale Malcolm X knew the importance of what having a name means to the Afrikan and the devasting impact of others that mean the Afrikan ill in recent times:

‘Formerly we could be identified by the names we wore when we came here. When we were first brought here, we had different names. When we were first brought here, we had a different language. And these names and the language identified the culture that we were able to point towards what we had produced, our net worth. But once our names were taken and our language was taken and our identity was destroyed and our roots were cut off with no history, we became like a stump, something dead, a twig over here in the western hemisphere. Anybody could step on us, or turn us, and there would be nothing that we could do about it’.

In his extensive journeying upon Afrikan soil he was gifted with the name Omowale which he described in the following way:

‘I was given a new name. Omowale. It means in the Yoruba language ,’the son who has come home’. I meant it when I told them I had never received a more treasured honour’.

Omowale Malcolm X had a deeply profound impact on the creative restoration process that brought forth Kwanzaa with its Nguzo Saba. It is not by happenstance that the naming of the self is part of this fabric. The principle of Kugichagulia (Self-determination) is thrust:

‘To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves. Instead of being defined, named, created for and spoken for by others’.

Here then, is an acronym of the name Omowale, the powerful Afrikan name befitting of the great hero Omowale Malcolm X. The acronym is compiled by this author with Kiswahili identifiers (except for the first identifier):

Ogun (Ogun warrior spirit)

Maagizo (Direct Command)

Onyesha (Show)

Wadia (Be Time)

Amia (Safeguard)

Linganya (Harmonise)

Elemesha (Educate)

The sixth part of the Omowale acronym is Linganya (Harmonise) – To harmonise with Afrikan souls genuinely missioning for Afrikan liberty and nationhood.

 

The sacred universe is naturally is naturally the cradle and canvas of harmonious living. Within it a myriad of seemingly different energies abound. Yet, by grand orchestration of the Creator Supreme, the different energy flows are complimentary. Indeed, void of that which is different the necessary workings of complimentarity for the greater good would be non-existent. As it is with the divine expanse so too it is with the Afrikan. The Afrikan man is naturally different to the Afrikan woman, the Afrikan child is different to the Afrikan in adulthood and so on. With the beautifulness of natural difference between the Afrikan man and the Afrikan woman, by orchestration of the Creator Supreme it is the harmonious and complimentary union between the two that yields generations  for the greater good of the Afrikan nation. The great hero Omowale Malcolm X exemplified this as an Afrikan man of the Creator Supreme,  an Afrikan leader, an Afrikan father and living in union with his chosen Afrikan woman – all working in the interest of his own people (amongst many other progressive and powerful qualities not detailed here). Though others that mean the Afrikan ill have attempted to derail natural harmonious living amongst Afrikan people, this soul people of Creation continue to restore themselves in the imperative thrust to fully be. In restoring Afrikan names the Afrikan is restoring life. Restoring life in the self, family and nation. This powerful name part of the soul is an attribute that elevates the Afrikan in its day-to-day use and in the living-knowingness of the meaning it carries.  

Naming or name reclamation can be brought to fruition through and vast panorama of circumstance. For the great hero Omowale Malcolm X it was gifted to him on Afrikan soil. For vast multitudes of Afrikan souls throughout the world such a beautiful and vital endeavour can take place wherever they reside either on the continent itself, in the Americas, in the islands, in UK, in Europe or elsewhere. Self-determination in this is deeply empowering. At the same time it is a removal of the abominable attempt to render the Afrikan property.
