It is time for Africans to embrace their African names and and their rich heritage. When we call ourselves or someone else by a name, we’re acknowledging their history and, in many cases, the story of where they come from. Names carry meaning, often specific meanings that can relate to family history, significant events, or even spiritual beliefs. Names are more than just labels; they are the first reflection of our identity to the world. A name carries with it history, culture, time, and place. It’s a bridge that connects us to our roots, our ancestors, and our heritage.
For many Africans, that connection has been severed, disrupted, or altered due to centuries of colonialism, the transatlantic and trans-Saharan slave trades, and cultural erasure. many African-Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Africans in the diaspora still bear European names, names that were not chosen by their ancestors but imposed upon them as part of a process to dehumanise and dominate.
For Africans who were enslaved, names were tools of control—tools that erased their original identity. Enslaved Africans could no longer trace their ancestors to a specific African region or community. This has created a generation of Africans in the diaspora who struggle with an identity crisis, disconnected from the cultural histories of their African forebears.

Young pan-Africanist and spiritually conscious African, Ali Abdi believes the only way for Africans to take control of their destinies is to follow the example of the 3 Sahel African countries and topple their current leaders. Ali Abdi says environmental pollution by Western countries is destroying Africa. Instead of sending troops to invade Africa, the west is now sending men in suits to do their dirty work.

Africa has a massive talent pool and football culture that could rival any continent in the world. So, why is it that when it comes to the World Cup, Africa has often found itself on the sidelines and under-represented. Currently, Africa is allotted just 5 spots in the World Cup. To put this in perspective, the continent of Africa has 54 countries, which makes it the second most populous continent in the world, with over 1.4 billion people. Yet, it receives only 5 spots out of 32 (9 out of 48 for 2026). This is a disproportionately low number given the talent, passion, and depth of football culture across Africa.
