Greetings Abba Ayalew Amlak. I'm a regular follower of Unpopular Opinion and it's always been a pleasure joining into discussions each day whenever there's a session. I believe like many others on this platform, this channel has became home through which I find myself getting to know more about myself as an African. In particular it serves as the perfect ground through which I try to build my own foundation from scratch since I seek getting into alignment with self and into much self realisation. Thus this platform also being my way through which I develop myself as it is the tracker of finding ways as to where I come from and my GPS as to where I'm heading to. Thanks so much again to people like yourself who unselfishly pass on your litness to shine like a light making us lit too and brighten up to be proud African stars❤ 🤩

[@mlungisienkabinde6009]

I really appreciate how you answered the last question of marriage. I was playing the episode in a taxi via Bluetooth and my passengers were stunned and I'm pretty sure they learned something valuable today

[@unpopularopinion_za]

WOW, Absolutely amazing Mlu. Asbonge Mofwethu. How did you get away playing a podcast for your passengers😅 we really appreciate it. Camagu

[@odette.p.shongwe8408]

Lol😄I'm sure 90% of your passengers were grumbling there.Ey phela people don't want to hear the truth.

[@thapelomaphosa5857]

Aaai Maaan I love this Channel. Much appreciation Abba and the entire team making this knowledge sharing possible. Siyabonga!!!

[@unpopularopinion_za]

Thank you Mr T.

[@thozamafunwayo2099]

I like this guy. He almost agrees with no one but himself. Dope...people suffer from a sickness, spirituality community, as much as they want to reconnect, the sickness in them is worse. These concepts, theories & movements are just the sickness mutating to keep itself alive.

Grandmaster... just how many of you are out there in this Land Mass named Africa? you all have a Mammoth task ahead of you, your multiplicity here and the diaspora is of GREAT IMPOTANCE!

[@Sbusisohh]

Regardless what has happened to this world, I think the more we speak about isintu the way you just did answering the sister who's about to get married okwesbili I trust most of us will be woke. And also the part where you talked about looking into the family how we do USIKO of that family specifically 💯 👌🏾(JIMMY'S questions) because as people we are not the same, but "isintu" it what bring us together as we do good to one another... I fully appreciate this channel with the depth of my soul, please keep teaching or I should say liten us...

[@Paidforward883]

Thank you so much for this channel! It is truly a blessing. I have learned so much about the mother of civilization, myself, and ways of being. I would like to ask where is the sista who moderates too? I haven’t seen her in a long time and I truly miss her!❤️💚🖤

[@mittadlamini5090]

Greetings Abba, I would just like to thank you for sharing & teaching your knowledge of our people. Its extremely pivotal to my journey of rediscovering my identity as a young Zulu woman, who has been greatly influenced by the West for most of my life. I was ecstatic to hear that we come from the same clan, now I truly wish to meet you one day. Ngyabonga bhuti🙏🏽

M glad you cleared the calendar thing because we can't follow kemetic galender which is really influenced by Greek influences

[@reportedstolen3603]

The original not Greek at all.. simply the cycle of the Nile

[@NhlanganoChabalala]

Hi Ras I give thanks for your channel. I would like to share some info about va Tsonga, Ras all VaShangaan are Tsonga but not all Tsonga are VaShangaan. Mina I am Tsonga, but before I am Tsonga I am a MuXingwedzi (Those from the Xingwedzi river) born of a daughter of the Nkuna People, Vahlave. Some may take offence to be called Shangaan as it would be like being called by a name that is not yours, in our names is our history. Here are some of the names VaTsonga carry VaBila, VaDzonga, VaHlanganu, VaHlave, VaHlengwe, VaKhosa, VaLambya, VaLozyi, VaN’wanati, VaNdzawu, VaNkomati, VaNkuna, VaRhonga, VaShangane, VaTembe, VaTswa, VaXika and VaXingwedzi. These names are derived from our ancestors or the name of the place or surname of their tribe, but they are all connected by the Xitsonga language and Xitsonga culture.

[@galaletsanggaopelo8552]

Greetings Abba Ayalew Amlak, I appreciate the knowledge that you possess and selflessly share with us🙏 I was born using my father's surname and I know maboko, direto le meetlo ya Bapoane Babina Noko🦔 and I identify as such. But later when I was 9 years my maternal grandmother "stole" us from him because my mother passed on and gave us our mother's surname. Now Both my parents passed on and most of the elders as well. I'm very much in touch with my father's family but in still using my mother's surname in my ID Document even though I identify as Mmina Noko Could the surname on an ID Document cause any problems?

[@OneAfrica666]

Thanks very much Brotherman!!

[@mutwa_0]

May i suggest Abba just refrains from speaking about Kemet because he is meesing up whenever he touches on Kemet. He just goes on with a lot of incorrect info that by now in the public domain. Better still he can teach himself metu neter(ancient egyptian language) and then decipher those ancient texts. He will then realise that place was called Kemet by it ppl, that place had borders, he will understand better why some of them called themselves gods as they documented. Then u take kemet out of africa and u place it in America. Kemet existed long time ago before the slave trade happened and u make as if Kemet was not founded by black people. In Akan which is one of the languages quute close to the Egytian ntr is ntoro and ntoro is not a dream is mean simply the same thing as it meant in Ancient egypt Kemet is the standard because they took it to the highest heights. They determined the new year based on astronomy and astrology. They were highly scientific. They were the one who took the concept of God in man to highest highs and developed systems where in people can cultivate the god-self. We must learn to give respect where respect is due.

[@rjmadela5510]

The kemet you think you know is not the real kemet. The one you are referring to is the magic kemet that you have read in books written by non bantus nabo having taken that incorrect information from greek/Arabic influences not forgetting the Roman catholic church. Khohlwani kemet ngoba niyadidiseka. This is not to say that kemet didn't exist. But the Egypt you are referring to is not kemet. Kuningi. Just look to your own history and Ancestors.

[@prophetchrisdudzai3674]

Greetings Mr Abba Ayalew Amlak my name is Tshepiso Aaron Magabane I am from mamelodi by birth ,my parents come from different back rounds. My dad is mopulane he comes from bushbucridge ,my mom comes from Rusternburg she is a coloured now both of them are gone to the other world. Abba my problem is my dad didnt know his father when he grew up,he was raised by his auntis and grandma,before he passed away he told me that he used to use the malatji's surname cause they raised him but my grandma's last name is magabane, I dont know my tottem name i dont know ke ana eng or ke bina eng Mr Abba how can i get my backround check how can i get help ?

[@mdu8053]

Lotjhani Abba. My surname is Mthimunye, Nomaziyana womngoma, Jodo lamanzi amnandi, mtjhayise. Please help me find my totem if you can and what is the significance of going to initiation besides the obvious reasons of "you know", is there any spiritual significance to it?

[@ptmchannel9315]

Greetings Abba Ayalew Amlak, you are very critical with the movement of kemetology. Do I understand you right, that people are treating the subject in an non-african way and misinterpreting the historical facts. Or are you saying, that kemet isn‘t an african civilisation and people are misunderstanding it as such?

[@morearthanhuman]

He corrects “Kemet” like how we in the diaspora corrects “Egypt”. Knowledge is the differences of everything as always. We know what the Greeks did to Kemet and named it Egypt. But he’s speaking on more info and pointing out how even Kemet can possibly be a backup to Egypt if you catch my drift..

[@ptmchannel9315]

Ok, I understand now. I nevertheless think, that its important for africans in the diaspora to reclaim the cultural heritage of kemet, maybe as a response to the racist narrative of the savage african, but also to correct the historical fraud, caused by the eurasian appropriation.

[@morearthanhuman]

@@ptmchannel9315 100% agreed with that. Everything is up for examination, the Europeans had plenty of time to cover up a lot. And time will be the very thing to undo it all.

[@Mbalenhle_Salvatoris]

[@MaintreTremainakaTr3Triple]

Right on!

[@kingAce3112]

South Africans stop trying to force kemetic culture on yourselves just be yourselves ur true self umzulu,umxhosa,mpedi and other beautiful kingdoms we have here in South Africa

[@muzimabuza6099]

Why drop kemetic and hold on to south Africans which is another entitlement?

[@uraa1334]

Mntanomhle ngu jotela lo umgolomba. can you please explain indaba yesithembu, i still find it confusing that a man is required to take more than one wife in isintu, please elaborate on that if its true or not.

[@mduduzipooe9619]

The council of women started the concept of Isithembu in order to balance certain imbalances in the household/community that were experienced by them(women) themselves..

[@rjmadela5510]

Ngiqala ukuyizwa ngawe lendaba yokuthi it's a requirement for a black man to take more than one wife. Indaba engaka. Yabona lendaba yesthembu is not as cut and dry as men would like to make it out to be just because it's a concept that favors them. Isthembu came about as a result of an abnormality within society that had to be addressed therefore isthembu is an abnormality and not the norm. It's intention was to right a wrong that occurred within a particular family and that is why the woman was the one who was basically leading the process because it was something that women came up with to save their families and not because kumanandi ukushera indoda. I dont know what makes men think that it's easy for women to share but they feel like they are dying the minute you make them Share as a woman. What is bad for the goose will also be bad for the gander. Women are not robots without feelings who are okay with multiple women sleeping with their better half. Thats rubbish. Just like no sane man would be okay with 5 men sleeping with his wife. This just needs common sense.

[@TypicalPlays493]

with regards to the surname issue, in order to avoid marrying 'ourselves', isn't it then advisable to start advising each other to start marrying other clans.

[@RA.Repertoire]

Greetings community, are there books we can rely on to read up on all the totems etc so we can track the gaps we may have?

[@Ameerah07]

Please do an extensive episode on islam and being a black muslim. Probably get black imaam on the podcast with you.

[@rjmadela5510]

Abandon all religions and your Ancestors will rejoice and so will those who come after you.

[@Ghosty-u9]

Abba what do Xhosa men wear when they come back from initiation ??

[@NthabiMafa]

Question.... What about a married woman, lobola and everything done properly and is now welcomed in another clan. This woman has children and decided to cheat and have another child outside marriage. The couple don't divorce and decided to raise the child as their own. The biological father of the child lays no claims. What surname is the child going to take because the mom's surname is now the married surname? Do any rituals/apologies need to be made hore ba mo behe in the married woman's surname?

[@tessamankay7258]

Also Abba, about almost a month ago I've sent you an email to your ayalew email address which I got through a poster in which you've promoted the event you held during the June 16 weekend at the Sanusi, late tata Credo Mutwa village. I'm not sure if you were in receipt of my email since I'm still awaiting a response from you. If at all that email exist I'm looking forward hearing from you soonest in regards the email I've sent you. Alternatively, is it all possible that you furnish me with the correct email address or other alternative means through which I can communicate personal matters to you? Thanks in advance

[@mduduzipooe9619]

Abba you throwing around alot of information and some of it is not true.. Please do thorough research on kemetic history/origin.. Thanks for the teachings nonetheless

[@rjmadela5510]

Tell us ke wena who lived during the kemet times the true history of kemet. I look forward to your detailed information cos what I know is that what you think you know about kemet is probably not it.

[@Tha-Rock]

Bring FACTS on the table, demonstrate, show & detail how it's not true...otherwise what you mentioned is invalid.

[@rapulekoalepe23235]

Research from where?? Whatch, why all philosophical discussions like these woke platforms not discussing new world order, it's going to make all of you and all you discussed vanish.. Aba discuss the new world order big Maan, all of you tubers combined are not valid till they observe the global future and blue print

[@rjmadela5510]

Facts? How do you know that all you have read is factual? Are things written on Google and written by humans automatically facts? 🤔 are you at all connected to the source? So If bring something written by some random person will it prove factual? I see.

[@nyashamahleko7007]

Are divorce Woman lesser in value. Is this marriage culture abusive to divorce Woman. So are we punishing divorce Woman. At last should divorce Woman stay single for the rest of their life.
