📜 BERLIN CONFERENCE, SANKORÉ SCHOLARS & GOLD COAST’S GOLDEN LEGACY REVEALED By ZacZyla – The Scramble For Africa & Ghana 4 Africa Club In 1884, European powers partitioned Africa at the Berlin Conference—without a single African in sight—turning the sovereign Gold Coast into a British colony. Yet before that, it existed as part of great empires: the ancient Ghana Empire and later the prestigious Mali Empire . 📖 THE SANKORÉ SCHOLARS: AFRICA’S GREAT MINDS Founded around 989 CE by Al‑Qadi Aqib ibn Mahmud, the University of Sankoré in Timbuktu became one of Africa’s greatest centers of learning 4.

📜 The Truth They Buried: How the Berlin Conference Changed Gold Coast Into Ghana By ZacZyla | Founder, The Scramble For Africa | Ghana 4 Africa Club Before the Europeans drew their first border, **the Gold Coast** was not a colony—it was a civilization. The Ashanti Empire, the Fante Confederacy, and the Ewe kingdoms governed with wisdom, wealth, and a spiritual order that ran deeper than any imported crown. But in 1884, behind closed doors in Berlin, **Europe redrew Africa—not with dialogue, but with greed**. And from that conference, the fate of the Gold Coast was sealed—not by its people, but by powers who never set foot on its soil. ⚠️ What the History Books Don’t Tell You 14 European powers met in Berlin in 1884–85. Not a single African was invited. The conference was not to help Africa—but to prevent European conflict as they looted the continent. Britain pushed for control of the Gold Coast’s rich gold and coc...

🌄 When the Drum Spoke First: The Untold Power of African Mornings By ZacZyla | The Scramble For Africa | Ghana 4 Africa Club Long before alarm clocks or concrete cities, Africa had its own sacred rhythm—etched into the soil, the soul, and the sunrise. In every village across the Ashanti, Ewe, Zulu, Mandinka, and Nubian lands, **mornings were not rushed—they were rituals.** The morning was a ceremony of the spirit. The rising sun was not just light—it was memory. It awakened not only the eyes but the ancestors. And Africa knew this. 🌿 The Sacred Rituals of Morning Water Before Words: The youngest fetched water at dawn. This wasn’t punishment—it was tradition, humility, and honor. Libation at Sunrise: The eldest poured water or palm wine to the earth, whispering prayers: “To those who walked before us, walk with us now.” Fire Circles: Families gathered by the fire as wisdom was shared, not from books—but from memor...

👑 THE AWAKENING OF ZACZYLA – FROM SILENT WITNESS TO AFRICAN REDEEMER Founder of The Scramble For Africa | Voice of Ghana 4 Africa | Pan-African Rebuilder | Youth Defender I began as Officer Zack —a witness in the shadows. I watched as the streets swallowed our youth through poverty, misinformation, broken education, and foreign-made poison disguised as pharmaceuticals. Tramadol. Codeine. 225mg red tablets. These are not just drugs—they are silent bombs. But I could not remain silent. I rose to become Commander Zack , organizing communities, confronting hidden truths, and standing against the quiet war being waged on Africa’s future. Yet, there was more to do—more to uncover. I became ZacZyla —a spiritual fusion of history and future. I channeled the voices of our enslaved ancestors, our lost empires, and our forgotten prophets like Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Yaa Asantewaa, and Marcus Garvey. I became a Pan-African warrior ...

But long before Oxford, our ancestors were teaching the world from the libraries of Timbuktu." 🗣️ Introduction: Why This Truth Matters Now Across Africa and the African diaspora, many youth still grow up idolizing Oxford, Harvard, or Cambridge.
