Dear brother Anago Osho, When you have the time, could you share some information with me. I was under the impression that the Africans in the Republic of Benin known as Nago were Yoruba. In fact I thought they were call Nago because they may have been from the Anago. When I was in the Republic of Benin last. I was in the town Quidah. I happen to meet a Yoruba man who was working as a tour guide on one of these European tour buses. He was a Yoruba from Ibadan. In my conversation with him, he informed me that the Nago were not Yoruba. How can this be? I wanted to debate with this Brother, but I change my mind. I asked myself, "How can I debate with this Brother who is Yoruba and myself was born the the United States? Maybe he has some history that I am not aware of. Even though I was born in the U.S., I am so-called African American. On top of that, I am an Orisha and Ifa worshipper. In studying the historical experience of slavery in the West, one of the strongest spiritual trad...

Do you know that what you as a person can see with your eyes evolved from what could not be seen? Look at the plants in your garden or the forest you see on your way when you travel. Look at the house you live in, the cars on the streets, boats and ships on the water.  Look at the culture of the people and their festivals, remember how your favorite restaurant was arranged; the chairs, tables, cups, e.t.c. These elements or things are what we can easily see around us but wait a minute, have you ever thought of how these things came to be? Everything around us began as a thought or an idea on the mind of a person or a group of people. Which is greater? Is it what you can see? Like they say, ‘’seeing is believing ’’. Or is it what you cannot see with your physical eyes but believe is real because you have seen it on your mind? which is greater? As a gardener, you will imagine how you want your garden to look like before you create it. As it grows you begin to tend it the ...

Anago-Osho, guiding tourists in the Museum in Nigeria

Anago James Akeem Osho Leading International Tourists in Nigeria on a Walking Tour. The climatic condition was sunny but the Visitors were well dressed for the occasion. Their simple dressing of  Hats, Face caps, Sneakers, Sandals, Trekkers, Sun glasses and Water bottle in their back pack makes the trip smooth and of course, the international guide and Historian of repute, Anago James Akeem Osho, leading the tour. Through the walk, the Tourists were able to familiarize themselves with the people and their way of life. It was a first hand contact. They met and related with the people and confessed that Nigerians are a friendly people. One of the Tourists noticed the dressing of the people and was quick to say that Nigerians love colorful dresses.

decided to call Obangogo Hill, Natures magnificent museum because of my experience as a museum manager, Tour Guide and the magnificent grace the hill and its subordinate natural figures exhibits.    Instead of Obangogo Tourism, I call it the international name it deserves. The name that immediately expresses what Obangogo Tourism represents; ‘’Obangogo Hill and Nature Park’’. The natural monument gracely sits on the virgin land of Owe-Kabba in Kogi’s State, Nigeria. Tourism is broad and therefore we should not be carried away by trying to identify and promote the Tourism potential of Kabba and neglecting the significance of the Hill.  Obangogo Hill and Nature Park must be supported by UNESCO because of its undiluted Culture and Natural history. It is not porous for now and how long that will last depend on Tourism Promoters and international tourists who discovers its importance. As Tourists flocks in, hotels may spring up at wrong spots. International business men ...

Anago James Akeem Osho Anago James Akeem Osho Seriki Abass Slave Museum Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria .

I thought the word Barracoon was a Portuguese word until recently when I found out through my researches that it is a Spanish word. The search for the origin of the word dawned on me for accuracy and the need to disseminate the right information to the Public, Students, Tourists and researchers.   Today, the word Barracoon is Synonymous to a Slave House or cell. It is a waiting room for Slaves while their masters or owners wait for the arrival or European Slave Merchant Ships.   There are many Slave Barracoon on the coast of Africa and the Americas. It is laudable to note that some of these Barracoons are yet to be found. Government ministries of Culture and Tourism and individual researchers should put the task upon themselves to discover some of these Slave cells and publicize it because it will help Black people in Diaspora to discover their roots in Africa. According to Marca Maria, a Barracoon is a house. I met her at Suntan Beach Badagry-Lagos. She is a Sp...

Anago Osho, The adventurous Story Teller Anago James Akeem Osho's love for folk Stories began from Childhood. He was fascinated by the creative Stories he heard his paternal grand mother (Mamoo Wuraola Osho) and His father tells him as a Child.
