IANA Blog- January 2025

  Blog Happy Gregorian New Year…and Happy January… As IANA gets ready to bring in the New year, I wanted to open this month’s blog and the first blog of the year with the chieftaincy of my parents. December of 2024, my parents Mr. Onyeabor and Dr. Veronica received their chieftaincy in Issele-Uku, Delta State, Nigeria. Crowned by my cousin, his royal highness, Obi Nduka Henry Ezeagwuna II, my father received the honor of being crowned the Ikedi-Uge of Issele-Uku, which means the strength in the Issele-Uku royal palace. My mother received the honor of being crowned the Uvie-Uge of the Issele-Uku kingdom, which means the beauty or the honour of the Issele-Uku royal palace. Uvie-Uge is significant, because my mom hails from the Ogboli village in Issele-Uku, which is highly regarded as holding the title of “Onishe of Issele-Uku.”  When I heard that both of my parents were receiving the honor, I was happy for them, especially considering that my dad had a chance of receiving the ho...

IANA Blog- March 2025

  Blog Happy March and Happy Women’s History Month, First off, I want to congratulate one of our IANA 2nd Gen members, Ifeoma Ugeh on being a new member of the Dream Team and being a Public Relation Officer. Ifeoma will come in handy as we prepare for the IANA Convention in Maryland in 2026. But now, I wanted to talk about something different. For the past couple of blogs, I talked about certain topics, such as diaspora wars, the FBA/ADOS movement, and Pan Africanism. I’ve been mentioning Pan Africanism in many of my blogs, and in one of my blogs, I mention Dr. Umar Johnson. I figured I’d make this year’s blog about him, especially since news broke out about how he’s not taking care of his kids, but here it is. For those that don’t know, Dr. Umar Johnson aka Dr. Umar Ifatunde Johnson is an African American psychologist, activist and motivational speaker. He also refers to himself as “The Prince of Pan Africanism.” In 2011, he appeared in Tariq Nasheed’s documentary, Hidden Colors ....

IANA Blog- April 2025

  Blog Happy April, First off, I want to address some things from the last blog. I made an error about the IANA Convention happening in 2026 and the Issele Uku Convention happening this year. I accidentally got both mixed up, so please recognize, it was an accident. Also, I kind of expected my last blog about Umar Johnson to be a little controversial compared to the last couple of blogs, but just remember, these blogs are all my opinion, but it’s great to know that many of you all have a response to my blog. With that being said, I wanted to talk about something that I brought up last year. For those that don’t know, there are many notable things happening in Africa. In my opinion, I definitely feel a shift happening in Africa. One of those things I’ve been noticing has come from the Sahel Alliance. The Sahel Alliance, also known as the Alliance of Sahel States is a confederation formed between African countries Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. I actually brought this up in past blogs...
