Afrilition: Setting out a critical pathway towards African excellence, By Adéwálé Àjàdí

My new book, Afrilition: 21st Century African Manifesto got released and put on Amazon on the 14th of July. It is a reflection of a lifetime of understanding the meaning of Africa that matters to and excites me. The late US commentator and media pioneer, Tony Brown, who also hosted the eponymous “Journal,” often quoted an African proverb: “It is not what you’re called, but what you answer to, that matters.” To me, Africa means the evolution of the Egyptian phrase, Afru-ika or Motherland. Indeed, the Motherland of all humanity, but more recently, the place of the widest human diversity, ethnically and genetically.
