nduka & Kanzingona since 2009
What does it take to love in an African bond community? Does love really exist in Africa? Well, these are just about the same questions faced by Nduka and Kanzingona. For them it was love at first sight. They had a lot in common; they were both from noble families, they both had terrible war experiences, but there was one thing that over ruled all! They were both from
different families. In fact, families that bitterly hated each other for centuries now.
Now, it is up to Nduka and Kanzingona to fight tradition and the ways of their people; to prove their love for one another. Will they survive the harsh cruel magic of the Great He-She? Or will they give up and suffer the internal bondage to marry someone whom they don’t love? Or will they overcome and live happily ever after?

priDegree - The Afrikan Diaspora 2014
During 2014 BC, a time of certainty and terror of eternal separation. A man had a vision, which foretold a lose of African knowledge. To prevent this he told the elders of the council of knowledge to meet at the great fortress of light and combine their knowledge into an object – the Obratuma. At the same time King Oualatani was crowned and with the man from exotic lands, he captured may of his people and sold them for mere objects to plantation farms. The elders combined all their power and knowledge into the Obratuma and sent it amongst the stars, until the appointed time has come and the last degree to unlock the knowledge of the sphere like object.
As the elders were being captured a man amongst those from the exotic land vowed to keep looking for the Obratuma even if it took him an eternity. With the power of the elixir of life, he became immortal and his vision to capture and destroy the African’s knowledge, became a reality. At least that’s that he thought.
Over the years he made sure that the Africans were dispersed over different continents and made ensure that their knowledge disintegrate through separation, lack of opportunities to study and pass on this knowledge to the next generation and that which will follow. He burnt all the libraries and every scroll or stone and made the African people feel worthless and inferior, but there was something he could not destroy – the Afrikan Alphabet.
