In this episode of LUMUMBA EXPLAIN, we discuss tribes. What are they, what do they do, and why are they important?
Why do Europeans call their people a nation? and the people of Africa are disparagingly called tribes?
The terms "nation" and "tribe" have historically been used to describe different social and political structures in various parts of the world. The distinction between these terms, as applied to Europeans and Africans, is rooted in complex historical, cultural, and colonial contexts.
Africa has a vast and diverse range of ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and historical groups. Prior to European colonization, these groups had distinct social structures and identities. The term "tribe" was employed by European colonizers, often in a derogatory manner, to categorize and homogenize the diverse African people they encountered. This oversimplification ignored the complex social dynamics, political systems, and rich cultural diversity that existed within African societies. It perpetuated stereotypes and reinforced power imbalances between colonizers and colonized.
It is important to note that the term "tribe" is now widely recognized as outdated and inappropriate. Contemporary scholarship emphasizes the diverse ethnicities, cultures, and languages present in Africa, celebrating the continent's vibrant mosaic of identities. African countries today define themselves as nations, similar to European nations, with a focus on nation-building, democracy, and inclusive citizenship.
In conclusion, the use of the term "nation" for Europeans and "tribe" for Africans reflects historical and colonial legacies. Europeans embraced the concept of nationhood through the development of modern nation-states, while Africans experienced the imposition of the term "tribe" during colonialism. However, it is crucial to recognize and reject these outdated terms, acknowledging the diverse and complex identities that exist both in Europe and Africa.

Also please run a campaign to support PLO's channel as well. Millions watch his teaching but his channel only has 61 thousand supports. Is there away you could ask viewers to subscribe to his channel as well? Thanks. (I have also added one more comment which I would like Professor PLO Lumumba to consider it. I noticed that he did consider the comments that people raised regarding this topic, thanks.
Africans have been suffering for thousands of years because of tribalism. Europeans and Arabs used the tribalism problem in Africa to turn Africans against each other which made it easy for them to enslave and colonize Africans. To build a stable modern country, you need a united population who identify as one. And for life to get better for Africans, Africans will need to work together. So as long as Africans continue practicing tribalism, Africans will forever suffer.
This man is a blessing to Africa. His words must be documented in books for generations to come
😂😂😂
Generations to come won't use books they will consume digital information from the internet. So this is the right platform to document his words.
Yea you right my brother.
This are the kind of talks we need.
ABSOLUTELY
Yes, we do
"UNITY", AMEN
It is these messages which needs to resound in the hearts of many of us Zambians, if you check the voting patterns in the recent general elections we have had in this country it sends a very bad signal as to how we are clearly being divided on tribal lines. It's a cancer that needs to be checked, if we continue at this rate I fear the worst for my beloved country.
I cherish your teachings professor and we are blessed to have you as Africans.
This man raises consciousnes of one's reasoning and awairnes of his/her identity. I hope our African politicians are sensitized to human needs in each country. Professor Lomumba raises important issues which directly affect our himanity.
As a luo from Uganda 🇺🇬,,i agree with him..
Attention to perfection is in our DNA
We Africans are blessed to have you Professor Lumumba we cherrish your teachings and may you live long to keep on the good work.
And we, in America, are also Blessed. I Pray, to the Almighty God that HE continue to Bless you and your family with LONG and Happy, Prosperous Lives, AMEN
It's worth to have Prof. Lumumba as an Africa continent, i really like his speeches.
Prof Lumumba is one of the most influential scholars of our times. Family please listen carefully with our present day deep✊🏿 thinkers Pan Afrikan
Thank you Baba, as an elder and a teacher you keep some of us inspired to support our society. We need our elders so much and you represent the many who are sleeping or not interested in uplifting us in Kenya. Tribalism is a deep cancer in our society that is not ours but the colonizers, who still live among us keeping it going. It is up to us to make an effort to unite and deconstruct, decolonize all colonial structures to move forward in self love and self healing.
"I have a sense of allegiance to all the human race. I dearly love my country too, after all, it's my own place. But still I can't confine myself just within a man-made boundary. For we're all one. Beneath the sun, our human race!
"So many systems of government, so many ways to pray. And yet all of us go to sleep each night & I arise with each new day;
So many ways to live & speak & arise with each new day;
For we're all one.
Beneath the sun, our human race!!!💪🏾💪🏾
I learnt this song in 1973-74 during an inter-sch song competition. Listening to your discourse certainly resonates with the lyrics & evokes such powerful memories. Sadly, as pupils we hardly understood the msg we were conveying. And in a typical Ghanaian style, we just "chewed, poured, passed & forgot it"!
Lord have mercy!!😮🙆🏾♀️
whats the names of this song?
Sorry, can't recall, this was my teenage yrs. Strangely, the lyrics hv been etched in my memory! Have tried various permutations to search for the Author, but to no avail! 🤷🏾♀️
AMEN !
GOD ALMIGHTY watches and wait for The SON to rise-up in our hearts AMEN
Mr Lumumba explain ! thank u for what u doing ,we need to write our own stroy its about time.
I can confidently say that I have found my favorite UA-cam channel
I'M from Mozambique, and I'm glad to hear pr. Patrice Lumunba inspiring us❤❤❤
WAAAOOOH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.........WE AFRICAN MUST LISTEN TO THIS 3 TIMES PER DAY.
Powerful and really thought provoking. Absolutely love this channel. Thank you Prof for sharing your wisdom with us.
Glad you enjoy it!
Professor is a MASTERPIECE!❤
Factory reset is an insightful perspective. The impacts and long term lingering effects of colonialism and neo colonialism are not unlike the effects of slavery and Jim Crow in the USA. Sadly, disunity, as designed by the colonizers, is the common factor that impedes the progress of the black people as a group. PLO beautifully articulates the answer for Africa and the diaspora. We must listen and act accordingly.
Haal Fulani, ngam minenne min paama e haala ma🙏🏽
I'm always waiting for each episode of Lumumba Explain❤
Don't wait, take action!!!!.......
Perfectly said Sir 🙏
this man is a gem . i hope to meet him someday. love you PLO
I call him my Father.
😂🇿🇦
Thank you Professor.
Just like the Berean people, may we Africans receive your message with great eagerness and be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
"Let us, therefore, make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification." Roman's14:19
Inspiring and mind opening
They seek to devalue the Precious Melinated essence granted by God to seek after what??....
Excellent speech ❤
Thank you sir! Its a real pleasure to learn from you.
It's my pleasure
Really insightful discussion. I can see many parallels between the Doctor’s statements with Northern Ireland. The tribalism there a deliberate and extremely corrosive. It defines every political party and it is that that concentrates power in the hands of the few. When the majority want peace, jobs and prospects.
A privilege to be in the same generation with this man. keep on doing what you do sir ! A wise son of the soil .
@theealfahouse, Professor Lumumba ought to address the fact that different African "tribes" never shared political power in their respective villages, kingdoms or empires during precolonial times, but are made to try to share political power subsequent to independence granted to colonial states.
Just as France, England, Germany, etc., do not, and cannot, share political power within a country, why does Professor Lumumba expect, for example, the Kikuyu to successfully share political power with the Luo within one country without conflict?
Isn't this a double standard expectation of Africans?
Tanzania isn't an example of a country with enduring good governance and economic progress; therefore, it is not worthy of emulation.
Further, which countries on earth can Professor Lumumba cite that have good governance, and that have successfully endured, strictly on the basis of ideology that he cited with the Tanzania example? If there aren't good examples then this proposal for political organization in Africa is problematic and has little to recommend it.
I could listen to this all day. Sober thoughts
"GOD ALMIGHTY is Calling for "UNITY", which is HIS Way of doing things, AMEN
All African heads of states should be made to sit down and educated by our Profound Professor..Lumumba ..we african Americans love this brother ..We have been made to hate our motherland from years of lies and miseducation..Now we want to return home to our motherland as asset beyond any imposed character defects from being raised in America..May our ancestors open our eyes to work and honor the best of ourselves..
Their pride won't let it happen 😅
@Jahifaraji tread lightly with the ancestor "worship" I know strong word.
Do your due diligence and extensive research. 😢
Just saying Peace, Wisdom and Humility young brother. ❤
I have learnt so much from you. I am from Sierra Leone and we are being destroyed by tribes. I just wish many of us can listen to you before it is too late
Forsake not your Mother's...Life is better than sacrifice !, AMEN
18:22 I am with you. Thing is, if you confront these things in the public, they will insult you and almost ostracize you.
Exactly because they have been mentally enslaved. I have afro hair and will never have fake long hair but women get so defensive when you tell them to love their natural beauty
Thorough explanation indeed
Always a blessing to sit at the feet of the old one
Its about time the good pro sat down n ooze wisdom. I love this. Nyasaye ogwedhi.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with the world so that we as the African Diaspora can be informed.
Most enlightened man amoung men in Africa.......in my view
Powerful lesson
Wow this man is and will always be a blessing to this and thee generations to come.
WE CAN MAKE KENYA GREAT! AND WE SHALL MAKE IT GREAT!
Long Live Kenya!
I wish the dangotes of Africa can financially mobilse themselves to finance the professor's narratives and the likes of Mr museven, kagame, mapoma, Ms mia, malema, ruto, etc into main African languages like kiswahili, Arabic french etc.
This will help to bring non English conprehenders on board so that we spread the gospel together. Long live Africa, long live the nations of Africa 🙏👍
Divine Unity ,Ase" ,The Ancestos are speaking !!!!!
Prof you're a messiah to Africa!
While Jews still await their messiah and we Africans is having you!
Speak Prof Lamumba, speak. The more you speak the more you will enlighten, the more you enlighten the more Africa will change for the better. You, my dear Sir, are the voice of reason. Stay blessed.
This man is very knowledgeable...
Thanks for showing us the truth. We are scattered, but we will unite as the truth unfolds!
God bless you for educating us.
This truly awakening the conversation of; if you not know your history not only hVe we been repeating it but as well, we hVe allowed the wicked to divide us from each other. Now we are broken at beat but not gone
I'm always waiting for each episode of Lumumba Explain. Excellent speech .
Great stuff. We need more of this. Asante Prof
Absolutely brilliant !
As I listened momentarily I went to UA-cam Music and found many Reggae songs that were messaging the TOPIC OF TRIBAL WAR. Please incorporate your messages with some of those Songs. This I feel will help with the RECONFIGURATION OF THE AFRICAN CONSCIOUS. We must “Dismantle the Suppressive Veil of Spirituality which denies Africans in Africa and all of the Diaspora True Growth.” Thanks Be Blessed 😇
Prof Lumumba was wit Prof Jama Muse jama in Hargeisa book Faire Meeting International lastime and firstem he com Country of somali and Somlilnd. Independence country and he was Very Happy becoze somlnd is most Peace and Seftey East african
Thank you professor lumumba
I'm glad I stopped by,😊
We thank you for your wisdom, yes indeed this is the kind of wisdom that should be shared. Knowledge is power.
Thanks for listening
What a legend. Truly, Africa is blessed, not only with minerals resources. That's a commonality of Africa and very belittling. Africa is blessed with Human resources and best brains in the world.
Great insight
Beautifully Stated 🔥
Powerful words Prof
Thank you so much... I am learning.
You are so welcome!
The kind of revolution we ought to initiate
Fully agree
We have to build confidence in our people and be comfortable in our own skin. We need to see ourselves in ourselves. African leaders don't see themselves in their people.
This is what president Ruto is trying to abolish in Kenya of which Uhuru and Raila are mobilizing around right now.
@musandasikhwivhilu Sorry but your analysis is very wrong. The fact that you have said this, is, more likely you are from the tribe of Ruto -so there is a tribal bias. Ruto has been concentrating on building his image abroad as a potential president for the whole of Africa or president of East Africa competing with Kagame and M7. However, these other presidents have been in power for long, Ruto still needs to sort things in Kenya locally before jumping to international level. The nations of Kenya are crying out for whatever struggles they are having and Ruto is saying I will not listen to you now I have plans for future... We do not need to be identified as Kenyan, Ugandan etc as the white man wanted, and there is nothing wrong for each tribe to have their tribal leaders as long as these leaders can network with each other to govern the people peacefully.
I appreciate you taking your time prof to enlighten our generation. I have a concern to raise in the form of a question. ''When the wave of cultural disruption by the LGBTQ ideology catches momentum, it will be labelled as and it is being labelled as a human right movement. I foresee it being backed by international organizations. When it comes to that prof, what do you advice we do? And is there a way to keep it from getting that far?''
Prof has a video on LGBQT issue; others have noted that only African presidents is targeted on the issue - not Arab leaders🤷♂️
It is of Great concern with people, BUT!, it has already be discussed WITH. GOD ALMIGHT, HIS recommendation for mankind has been defined and decided, for those that believed, that in the days of Lot and his family, GOD ALMIGHTY gave HIS example.
Thank you Prof
Beautifully spoken
Thanks for listening
Word.
Spiting straight up truth!!!
Pro. I actually admire the quality of education you acquired
Professor, asante sana, sana!!!
You are a legend of africa
Proud to be an African,& remember African for African 's we at home & those abroad
This talk is very important for the so called not all but few poleticians ,activists ,jornalists etc..becouse who re activate some else with unthinkable mined are they.
The thought just came: why isn't this man more visible, globally ?? It's incredible to me I've not heard of him til just very recently 😮😢
MR. PRESIDENT. WHEN. YOU. TRY. TO. EDUCATE. US. I. LOVE. THAT. WE. NEED. MORE. OF. YOU.
Mr Lumba I hanen't had yu talk about Zimbabwe ,pliz tell the truth about Zimbabwe coz they arw big probmlems here.
He is one of the best dresser!!!
To add, Tanzania has a compulsary military training for the people. So a lot of the people will have been politically informed as to why they have to be trained, who are the enemies, how to protect peace of the country etc. Perhaps that is why the country is stable. However, for countries facing threats of ethnic cleansing through their own government, time is the key. Leaders need to move fast to avert upheavels e.g. the situation in Kenya, Congo North of Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan etc.
enlighten us SUN OF AFRICA. MAY THE GOD OF OUR ANCESTORS EMPOWER AND STRENGTHEN YOU
33:51 Jaundiced understanding of eurocentric antrhopologists and marketers...wah!!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Africa needs to be factory reset
I really appreciate the lectures you deliver. Which triggered as to think of the leadership in africa and the game played by the west on africa because of their weak administration. But there are some hero african leaders which you never mentioned their name as exemplary leaders who fight the westerns one of which is the president of Eritrea Pr. Isayias Afewerki.
Agree
Hello, Can we repost your video 📼 on our pan-African page?
❤
21:11 I am a proud Annang
Njo bamuna aba, ebantu aba thats what we say in Zambia
The united tribes of Africa
I agree with most of the things you have said, however I beg to differ Professor with respect, and would like to put my views as follows:
1-These "countries" were created by the colonialists who cut off nations (tribes with their leaders) in two or three geographical places. We do not need to identify ourselves today as a Kenyan or a Ugandan etc, instead we need to get rid of these boundaries as a matter of urgency.
2- The same ethnic group(s) in Kenya are found in Uganda and other countries e.g. Karamojong and Acoli people in northern Uganda who are endangered under a sitting president, they are subjected to genocide. We cannot sit and watch this day by day. The people lack security because their ethnic leaders are not the president of a so called country started by white people, why should we allow this? Similar problems with Igbu in Nigeria, Anywak of Ethiopia etc.
3- There is nothing wrong with leaders arising from each ethnic group, as long as they can provide security for that ethnic group, and advocate for security of other ethnic groups too. To be a leader, you would have to start from somewhere. You cannot love others more than you love yourself. I strongly disagree that we should be fighting to protect the so called countries created by white colonialists and call this as living in unity, to restrict us from fighting locally for our ethnic groups which are being marginalized. If the so called unity created by white people worked in Tanzania there is clear evidence that it has failed in many countries of Africa. Lots of ethnic groups have been marginalized in these so called countries created by white colonialists and of late South Sudan which tries to copy colonial structure - we need to get rid of these structures fast.
4-Leadership is divine, one is born with it, the structure starts from the home, parents then society, then ethnic groups, then international. I have watched Kenyan leaders; and what seems to have been happening is nothing but stealing of elections from the people which then sparks demonstrations. It appears there are individuals who do not want leaders from certain ethnic groups to be the president against the people's wishes. The people know who their leader is despite what ethnic group he/she may be. Even if Ruto is the president now, when you watch him it looks like the crowd do not trust him when he is addressing them.
5- The reality is, we need to organize leadership from the ground, e.g. ethnic groups, nations or tribes, it is upto them to network with leaders from the other ethnic groups, forming a bigger structure. Each ethnic group needs to be safely represented not marginalized. There is nothing wrong with representing the voice of your tribe as a political leader but that should not give rise to suppression of other ethnic groups. Leaders need to be seen that they can work effectively across other ethnic groups, although it is not a must. Other leaders have a divine calling to work locally and we must respect that. Thank you.
Talk deh ting Lumumbo. Ase….
Until he dies he is always with me he travels with me every where I remember you promise me you broke my heart
Tribalism concerns almost every country in Africa and one force from within that has diminished our civilization and modernity.
Idealism is great but the inability to be practical is the difference between the legacies of Julius Sankara and his namesake Julius Nyerere.
I think there's a needle to thread concerning the creation of artificial nations by colonial powers. Nigeria for instance. How can I not advocate for an Igbo nation when the Nigerian nation has failed at every turn to look after my people
The unfortunate thing with failure of leadership is it takes people a layer deeper into dissolution with the current state of structures and systems. Lemmi say two things; One, If you have a burden for a people, it should first be for the nation before tribe. If you believe you can contribute to the rescue of the Igbo from Nigeria or Nigerians, chances are you can also contribute to the rescue of Nigeria and Nigerians from those who do net seek its general good.
Second, I would not advocate for division based on the failures of leaders to lead the right way. This move is simply giving up on ideals we should pursue and taking an easier route which most likely will become the common way to resolve challenges we can't face.
Addressing the fruits of an issue might work for a season, but the tree will still produce the same fruits come next season.
But my people are not agitating for igbo nation rather they're agitating for biafra.....I wish our people will forget that name biafra and agitate for our real identity igbo nation
@wisekhalifa1096 Biafra still makes sense, we have related neighboring tribes that deserve a seat at our table. We should include all of the east
