Symbols and Ceremony for Afrikan Liberation

Creator Supreme prepared the most richly endowed environment as the cradle of for humanity – magnificent Afrika. This supreme continent holds life giving and life sustaining arteries of sacred waterflow. The Nile is a main artery and is the longest river in the world and one of the divine super highways of Afrikan growth and development. The blood that flows through the arteries of the body is mostly water and for the Afrikan, his or her sacred blood is an extension of the sacred water that brought forth the first life.  It is in Afrika, the marvellous first people of Creation were brought into being and endowed with richness of melanin flow, a deep reflection of the wealth and oneness the Afrikan has with the exceptionally rich Afrikan soil. From sacred soil comes the vegetational growth crucial for life to flourish. The reciprocal and cyclical relationship that plant life holds with the Afrikan soul is profound. The Afrikan pioneering genius flow age after age has developed ways to nurture and grow plant life to maximise bountiful living. Sacred Afrikan blood is Red. Sacred Afrikan melanated beingness is Black. Sacred Afrikan land of abundant growth is Green. The Kiswahili word for Red is Nyekundu. The Kiswahili word for Black is Nyeusi. The Kiswahili word for Green is Kijani. In Afrikan observance symbols are powerful assets in ritual and ceremony. In the observance of Afrika Ukombozi Siku (Afrika Liberation Day) ritual and ceremony is fundamental in the spiritual and cultural fabric necessary for the imperative mission of Afrikan ascendancy.

Over the recent centuries of genocidal disruption savagely thrust upon the Afrikan, the homicidal enemy brute sought to destroy the natural, progressive, self-determined Afrikan spiritual and cultural fabric of Afrikan life. The demonic intent was to weaken the Afrikan into a state of perpetual submission to the diabolical whims of tyrannical foreign enemy exploits. The imposition of foreign doctrines was intended to compound this devilish onslaught to render the Afrikan void of self-empowering, self-determining spiritual and cultural fabric. Despite the bogus foreign crony attempts to subvert or otherwise destroy the Afrikan way, the magnificently brave Afrikan soul retained, restored and expressed their spiritual and cultural ways to free themselves from the barbarous claws of the criminal vagabond pirate people and their bloodthirsty enslaving, torturing and slaughtering pillaging savagery.  

To this day, the forces of anti-Afrikan agency proslytise to hijack the Afrikan soul and shoe-horn them into the various containers of foreign doctrine to control their lives. Such containment is compounded with enemy-driven inculcation of dissuasive negative attitudes in antagonism (at best) of the naturally progressive and liberty-laden Afrikan way. The foreign enemy forces know all too well that the Afrikan soul steeped in his or her own spiritual and cultural way of life is an Afrikan that will lift him or herself from any container of subjugation. In the bogus attempt to ‘cover all bases’ the enemy seeks to infiltrate progressive Afrikan life in the bogus guise of expert official or whatever. The unknowingness that is deliberately heaped upon the Afrikan by the enemy can then have the result of unsuspecting Afrikan souls willingly participating in a process of derailment or other destructive ill against self.

As one of the greatest Afrikan liberators and with Ogun with Heru eloquently elucidates in the glorious greenery of a message to the grassroots:

‘It’s just like when you got some coffee that too black which means it’s too strong – what you do? You integrate it with cream. You make it weak. If you pour too much cream in you won’t even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it will put you to sleep… I know you don’t like what I’m saying but I’m gonna tell you anyway’.

Afrika Ukombozi Siku (Afrika Liberation Day) is an observance of and for the Afrikan. It is an observance of and for Afrikan liberty. It is an observance of and for Afrikan liberation. It is an observance of Afrikan freedom. It is an observance of Afrikan liberty. Afrikan liberation, Afrikan freedom and Afrikan freedom are fundamental imperatives of Afrikan life. Afrika Liberation Day is not a Afrika Day with the foundational essential imperative thrust of Afrikan uplift, betterment and ascendancy removed. The attainment, maintenance and safeguarding of Afrikan liberty is essential. The Afrikan must surely safeguard his or her divine imperatives into eternity.

Wonderfully, Afrikan souls in ever-increasing numbers are becoming more knowledgeable of themselves and living their lives accordingly. Within Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN), the great observance of Afrika Ukombozi Siku has ceremony and ritual practice that reflects the powerful essence of Creator ascribed liberty using a number of powerful symbols. Briefly:

For Afrika Ukombozi Siku red ink is used to scribe the natural divine assertion of Afrika. With all that the mighty word Afrika means and in carrying the underlying principle of ‘Afrika for the Afrikans – those at home and those abroad’. This word is etched in colour of sacred Afrikan blood, the extension of sacred water flow. This is Nyekundu.

For Afrika Ukombozi Siku soil is collected from the place into which libation is poured to represent the special and unique oneness Afrikan people have with sacred soil as the original people and the melanated beingness of Afrikan life. This is Nyeusi.

For Afrika Ukombozi Siku green leaves are collected from a place that is significant to the imperative mission for Afrikan liberation. The leaves represent the natural bountifulness that has been ascribed to the Afrikan by the Creator Supreme and the imperative to secure their homeland in self-governance for eternity to come. This is Kijani.

Afrika Ukombozi Siku is observed as a part of the cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). Within URAN, celebrations take place on the actual date of the 25th. Become a part of the thrust of Afrikan liberty during this time and throughout the year and become a part of an organ for Afrikan ascendancy.  The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
