This deduces that the early Europeans knew nothing scientific about the mankind beforehand unleashing their one-up-man-ship over Africa and the Africans except that they were the white skinned flocks and so, not the kith and kin of the Africans in black skin living in what they called the „Dark Continent‟! Of course, in later times, the same masters and rulers committed to not repeating their colonialist racial geo-political injustices. The whites were domineering and weaponized to the hilt on their own mentality, for their own interests and by their own logic opposing the geopolitically distant African blacks inhabiting the natural resources enriched frontiers. Those „twists and twitches‟ in time-line led to the black‟s slavery and white‟s slave-trade with meddling Christian Adventist Missionaries, colonialists, religious conversionists, Anglican Universities‟ Missions , inter- sexual-births, the associative asomi , the dissociative asomi and the non-asomi divisions within African natives in concomitance.

  • On the Origin of the Royal Kongo Title Ngangula
    On the origin of the royal Kongo title ngangula Koen Bostoen, Odjas Ndonda Tshiyayi and Gilles‑Maurice de Schryver Abstract This article offers an in‑depth historical‑comparative linguistic account of the origin and etymology of ngangula. This term is not only a widespread blacksmith term in the Lower Congo region, but also a traditional royal Kongo title attesting to the importance of the blacksmith metaphor in Kongo political ideology. Popular etymology has it that ngangula is related to nganga, reconstructed in Proto‑Bantu as *-gàngà and commonly translated as ‘medicine‑man’. It is argued here that this widely held belief does not stand up to scrutiny. The term ngangula is shown to be derived from the common Bantu verb *pàngʊd- meaning ‘to cut; to separate’. Thanks to a distinctive diachronic sound change, it is even possible to locate quite precisely the term’s origin within the Kikongo dialect continuum. Its provenance gives new credibility to an earlier but discarded hypothesis situating the origins of the Kongo kingdom in the eastern part of the Lower Congo, somewhere in‑between the Inkisi and Kwango Rivers. Keywords Kikongo, Kongo kingdom, sound change, semantic change, African history (AfricAnALinguisticA 19 (2013 54 1. Introduction1 The kingdom of Kongo, which arose in the Atlantic Coast region of Central Africa, is one of the most famous emblems of Africa’s past. It entered European history shortly after Portuguese sailors first reached the mouth of the Congo River in 1482. The centralized polity they encountered reminded them of their home kingdom. Regular diplomatic relationships between both states with accompanying exchanges of people, ideas and commodities were soon established.
