Afrilition, a term coined by Adéwálé Àjàdí, represents a transformative process for the African world's contribution to its own evolution and viability for collective humanity. This concept is designed to empower the incoming generation with a new understanding, enabling them to step into the fullness of their humanity without requiring approval from external sources. In an increasingly multipolar world, Afrilition offers a unique approach to building alternative systems and ways of being.
The creation of Afrilition was inspired by the author's previous work, Omoluwabi 2.0: A Code of Transformation in 21st-Century Nigeria. However, the use of a Yoruba name and model presented challenges, with some assuming it was about perpetuating Yoruba hegemony rather than building a prototype from indigenous knowledge systems. The author realized that borrowing from existing codes carries inevitable burdens, leading to the development of Afrilition as a distinct operating system.
Afrilition embodies the spirit and power of manifestation using dynamics such as fractals, mathematical precision of Dogon Astrophysics, binary logic engines, and algorithmic data compression of Ifa. This operating system is encoded as a bridge between the software and hardware of the African world in the 21st century. It is based on technology that is spiritual and foundational in the Bible, specifically John 1:1, which states, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, and the Word was God himself."
The concept of Afrilition draws from African-developed ways of engaging spiritual technology, including holistic platforms that add spiritual, psychological, physiological, and social dimensions. For example, the Yoruba Afosé is a code for À fi ohun sé, now used as Àsé or Àxé in Brazil, meaning "our word is manifest" or "manifest word." This technology has been used in various forms, such as music and dance, to carry profound vibrations and manifestations.
The current global system has often dispersed and atomized African technologies and proprietary contributions, burying them or making them inaccessible to the uninitiated. However, Afrilition offers a new approach, allowing Africans to reclaim and build upon their indigenous knowledge systems. The author invites interested individuals to join the online launch of "Afrilition: 21st Century African Manifesto" on Wednesday, September 30th.
The launch of Afrilition comes at a time when the world is facing numerous challenges, including the exploitation of billions by a few hundred individuals and the killing of over 23,000 children in wars of choice. In this context, Afrilition offers an alternative approach to building a more equitable and just world. The author emphasizes that the incoming generation has a space in a world that has lost its way to build alternatives.
