Why Is Africa So Divided? A Crash Course On African History 

Excellent video with clear and concise details. My takeaway is since we were purposefully divided we have to be deliberate with our coming back together.

I highly recommended that we all do workshops such as Emotional Emancipation Circles and read a book called "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome". There's also a great book called " A black girl's guide to emotional healing devotional" that is an incredible healing resource. Once we heal our wounds, we would be unstoppable ❤

Nice presentation! Congrats to our lecturer❤

First of all. I do appreciate the fact that African Diasporans have taken a keen interest in the affairs of Africa. And I am very impressed as a young African for such development. Keep it up brothers.

Tim excellent discussion Sound like a history Professor. Please do more these topics. Thank you

I like the conclusion that champions even "micro societies". This is crucial and significant because, to look at the complexity of the African challenge as a whole might cause those wanting to make a difference to view it as too great a challenge to small groups to tackle but this is exactly what the approach needs to be. Micro groups united by a common goal deliberate in its mission and driven by the commonality of the vision and not be distracted by percieved differences in opinions and beliefs can be the spark for growth in the group itself and as a catalyst and template of success for offshoot groups united by the same vision. What we must not do is fall for the age old trickery of division which has plaqued us then and plagues us to this day.

great video, great work

I've a lot to say yet I'll say less...your video makes an absolutely phenomenal content!! Soldier on...rise again, we must!!!

Great background and historical facts... This was a class on what is happening today...

Excellent topic!

We must first unite and become advocates for each other (all Africans) and for africa, even for those of the lowest state. That will take discipline, commitment, honesty, and hard work to achieve. History teaches us that we only have one true advocate, ourselves not Europeans. Their greatest concerns are for the benefit, convenience, and pleasure of Europeans (and protection). The same is true for Asians and Arabs. They are intentional. They have also been their own best advocates--especially Europeans--even at our expense and inconvenience.

Love you Brother and thanks you for sharing truth. You and your family remain blessed. PEACE.

Praise the Lord! This is so on point!!

Tim, where is part 2? U know we need one right?

Great content, and factual.. Africa will be rebuilt from the bottom up, community by community.

FANTASTIC CRUSH COURSE, I LEARNED A LOT. THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND THE GREAT WORK THAT YOU DOOOO!!!!!! THANK YOU, BROTHER

Thanks Tim

We as black people are so divided. That's the way it is and I don't believe that will ever change. The division has been detrimental to our existence. This was a great video, by the way. You are 100% right in my opinion.

A very thorough and on the point analysis Tim, thank you for your immense contribution towards the emancipation and enlargement of our group consciousness as a people. There are so many things I would love to change about our continent if the Most High YAH requested me and grant request. Things such as one Spiritual Afrika 100 % decolonised. People being free in the Almighty presence of YAH and being safe and secured from outside trouble, the list goes on and on. But because I cannot change that, I can only change myself to perceive differently, that now becomes my awareness and awakening to who I am as an Afrikan and my special connection to the motherland. We are the first and chosen ones from way before and the prophecies in scripture will be fulfilled when the continent finally awakens. It is only a matter of when and not if. Asante sana ndugu, Mungu akubariki sana.

So interesting, what I never learnt in school. Funny, I learnt a lot about the Tudors and stuarts, but not how it all related to Africa etc

Great content, thank you.

Reconnecting with the diasporans is so important but will the home grown Africans allow it.? Look at what is happening in Asebu . Some local hooligans have risen up against what the chiefs in the area are trying to do. These hooligans are everywhere in Ghana. They see people buying lands but they wait till the development has start to a point then they attack. . Nana of Asebu in Ghana should have known these elements were in his community. It is disgraceful.

3:22 I still wonder why they encircled Nigeria with French speaking countries. Majority of Nigerian's dont have relationship their neighbouring countries (Chad, Cameroo, Niger and Benin).

Joel 3:2 [2]I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Thanks for sharing Tim.

Brilliant analysis by Tim.

Hi Tim, I'm pleasantly shocked at how you nailed it on the head with regard to moving forward. Of course, you had first diagnosed the ailment correctly in order to proffer solutions. So, here's the pragmatic recourse to your prognosis; Identity and Relationship with Jehovah Jahra are synonymous so we need to, individually, awaken our Spirit to navigate our Soul-Essence directly to Jesu, without being in any organized religion or christian congregations with the exception of the Sabbath Day Adventist who worship on the Sabbath. Part of my Purposeful Life shall include bridging the discourse between AAs/Diaspora Africans and the motherland. We can only do that by first, being oblivious to the Machiavellian antics and satanic spell of the Enemy, by becoming One With Jesu, Our Lord and Savior. Yes, the enemy does not carry out any plans against the Aboriginals of The Earth, The children of The Most High Almighty Jehovah Jahra, without checking in the Spiritual dimensions. Seek ye first The kingdom of Jehovah Jahra and everything else shall be attended onto... I've set aside $300m to superintend the journey, To The Glory Of The Most High.

My brother, what is your academic and research expertise on Africa?

I love the backgroud oh man , am smilng all over here, the print

And Self Defense because you can’t keep what you can’t protect.

One key player to create unity in africa is money ++++++ therefore +++++ African countries need one currency for trading and investing ++++++++

55 countries. 41 driving on the right side and 14 on the left. Unity can start there.

Hi Tim, you need to create some type of non-profit. The possibility is there.

Make Africa home again +++++++

Because that place is Cursed.

The continent has never been not will it ever be a unitary state. It is 54 sovereign countries and hundreds of ethnic nation s. We cannot be talking about Berlin when the boundaries were affirmed by Afrikan countries themselves at OAU Addis and Cairo. Today, some countries may choose to cede their nationhood and sovereignty to merge into a new entity. See EAC to EAzf. Others are headed in the opposite direction, with further balkanization or secession from within. See Naija or Cameroon for national example. Or ECOWAS with its current impasse with the Francophone breakaway countries, for regional example. Ultimately, it will be up to the respective populations themselves to determine how they choose to move forward. All 54 of them, via 54referendums. Their decisions will be respected.

Why do you believe others are superior to you. That is another human being. I don't view them as superior at all.

Africa is not divided. Whites and blacks are divided in United states due to colour emphasis.

Because of the cultural differences that comes from the hatred between the tribes. Too much hatred and xenofibia. It's absolutely preposterous that everything bad that Colonisation is blamed for everything that is bad in Africa. When will you stop with this lausy excuse? Africa will never be united. The civil war and division of Sudan is their fault. The xenofibia against other Africans in South Africa is on them. The racism against the white farmers in Zimbabwe has nothing to do with the colonisation. Colonists didn't find a peaceful Africa, but one in chaos and blood. Tribes slaughter other tribes on daily basis. That's their legacy and it reflects in nowadays political landscape. I hope one day Africa will be truly free, but with no help at all from the west, so we can all see what will happen.

You are in Africa because of the high exchange rate enabling you to live a good life on very little money by American standards ! What is your contribution ? My parents and grandparents generations who went to study in England and the US starting from the 1940s left their the opportunities and came back to Africa to help to continue the development that the British left ( yes the British did develope West Africa)They were doctors , Engineers .Lawyers , educators, nurses, pharmacists etc. They came back with their world class educations . The development of Africa was high jacked by mismanagement and corruption !! Are you aware that the remittances by Nigerians living in the West is about 20 BILLION DOLLARS/YEAR .This amount represents 6% of Nigerian GDP and is a very important addition to the Nigerian economy !

I am sorry but as a Nigerian you are way off !! You African Americans are obsessed with skin color !Way before the British came Africans were comprised of THOUSANDS of tribes who spoke thousands of different languages! These tribes were fighting with each other way before the Colonizers came !! Nigeria alone has more than 200 different tribes ! The colonizers of Africa did not replace our languages like the Spanish did in South America where most cannot speak their native language and speak Spanish only! We in Africa speak our languages .You African Americans when you meet Africans in America are unfriendly and envious , but in Africa we are now your brothers!!

Tim, you are preaching to the choir. The black people who need to hear this are not interested and couldn't care less. They are: 1. Black politicians everywhere 2. Leroy Jones from the Ghetto or currently a resident of one of Uncle Sam's prisons.
