About The Book
Africa’s unique contribution to global governance as projected by Steve Biko would be a template with a human face. As opposed to the Binary Opposition at the base of all Western civilization, the Omoluabi bundle rests on the Binary Complementarity peculiar to African thought schools. Oduduwa, an ancient African patriarch appointed the Yoruba of West Africa as the custodians on the Omoluabi Matrix in the 7th century. An advanced bundle containing a civilization code, a governance program and high moral value standard.
The advanced bronzes and terracotta’s of its first outing was highly coveted and almost rebranded as a ‘white’ heritage by Leo Fobenius as reported in the New York Times of January 13th, 1911. Subjected to the clash of civilizations it quietly receded and hibernated for a season until a 1945 omoluabi trumpet blast in London by Obafemi Awolowo activated a renaissance that outperformed European nations to gift an African nation with TV broadcasts ahead of France, Germany and many other exploits. It has since simmered below the surface in the shambolic American democratic model and endemic corruption of the Nigerian amalgam of cultural nations.
Aged and refined like vintage vine the Omoluabi Matrix survived, has revived and just when it would have offered up her treasures to the world like the Wakanda narrative – a complication has arisen. In a bizarre twist the “African Gift” to the global community is now in danger of being destroyed by an enemy from with. A fresh trumpet call by the author (this book) has been sounded with a prescription to reactivate the ancient calabash – a democratic device to neutralize the threat before the international presentation of our heritage. as the game changer the world needs today.

The Omoluabi Matrix is a unique program that transformed the 7th century aboriginal community of ancient lle Ife in West Africa into the epicentre of the Yoruba kingdoms. In its bundle there are three distinct constructs. It boasts a civilizing code that exemplifies the binary complementarity followed by a brilliant governance template and a high moral value standard that work together to build the Omoluabi citizen – the quintessential gentleman whose word is his bond and whose name is valued above silver and gold. The ancient kingdom peaked in the 15th century and its art works in bronze and terracotta ignited a furore in the Western world when Leo Frobenius announced that he had discovered the site of Plato’s Atlantis in West Africa refusing to accredit the obvious African craftsmanship until the throng of visitors to the exhibitions pointed out the obvious African features of the busts on display.
The supposed discovery of proof to support a White civilization in Africa fell apart. The Matrix switched on its self-preservation mode in response to the acidic clash of civilizations and later resurfaced briefly in the 10 golden years of the defunct Western Nigeria government of Obafemi Awolowo to confirm that it was a source code not artifacts that was the real treasure. The Omoluabi Matrix has been revived and primed for its date with destiny on the global table of equals… if it can survive another real and present danger, this time from the enemy within. This is a real life reel play of the black panther Wakanda script.
