CommunityWWW.MSINGIAFRIKAMAGAZINE.COM | we tell the true afrikan story 38The West taught the world to conquer.Africa taught the world to connect.Ubuntu is not just about kindness. It is about interdependence. It is about understanding that your humanity is bound up in mine. That no success is meaningful if it comes at the cost of others. That power, when it disconnects, destroys.But why wasn%u2019t Ubuntu ever on the syllabus?You can get a degree in philosophy in elite European universities and never read a single African thinker.You can learn about Aristotle and Descartes, but never about Mogobe Ramose, John Mbiti, or Kwasi Wiredu.You can be taught the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Scientific Revolution, but not the African concepts of personhood, communal morality, or restorative justice.Was it ignorance?Or was it intentional?Ubuntu is a threat to systems built on hierarchy.Because it demands equality.Because it challenges the myth of supremacy.Because it says, %u201cYou are not more valuable than me%u2014and I am not more valuable than you.%u201dThat is a revolutionary idea.A New World Must Be BuiltWe are entering a new era. The world is shifting. Systems are shaking. And the old philosophies that built those systems are showing cracks.Now is the time to remember.Now is the time to reclaim.Now is the time to re-teach the world what they forgot or refused to learn.Ubuntu is not just African.It is humanity%u2019s missing code.It is what the future needs.Because the future is not for the supreme.The future is not for the arrogant.The future is for those who remember their humanity.The future is for those who see that justice is not revenge%u2014it is restoration.That power is not domination; it is service.A Call to the WorldDon%u2019t just read about Ubuntu.Practice it.Share it.Teach your children about it.And to my fellow Africans, your wisdom is needed. Your philosophy is global. Don%u2019t shrink it for anyone.They taught us to look outside for answers.But what if the answer has always been within?Yaw Kissi is a Pan-African communicator with a financial mind, passionate about reshaping Africa%u2019s narrative.
