The Covenant Is in Africa

 



We Must Protect It and Be Proud of Our Ancestral Lineage to Olodumare

By HRH John Babatunde Lee


Long before borders, before kingdoms rose and fell, before the names Africa or Empire ever echoed through the valleys and coasts—a covenant was made.

Not a covenant written on paper,
But one etched into the mountains, whispered by rivers, guarded by ancestors, and sealed by Olodumare, the Supreme Architect of All Things.

This covenant made The Kingdom of Olodumare the spiritual center of the earth—where humanity began, where wisdom descended, where kings were not rulers but servants of divine will.


This Is Our Sacred Trust

We, the children of the soil, are the heirs of this sacred agreement.
It was given to us—not for selfish gain, but for divine guardianship.
To protect the land.
To honor the elders.
To keep the flame of truth burning when the world walks in darkness.

It is a covenant that connects us to:

  • The pyramids of Nubia, aligned with the stars

  • The Ifa Oracle, whose wisdom rivals any machine

  • The rhythms of the drum, which carry codes the world has yet to decode

  • The names of our ancestors, spoken with power, pride, and purpose


Our Lineage Is Divine

We are not a lost people.
We are not “developing.”
We are not what they say in textbooks written by outsiders.

We are the descendants of kings, of priestesses, of warrior-scholars and spiritual engineers.
We are the bloodline of Orunmila, of Makeda, of Imhotep, of Nefertari, of Sundiata, of Oduduwa.

We do not need validation from any foreign throne—we stand on the original covenant with Olodumare Himself.


To Protect the Covenant Is to Protect Ourselves

To betray this covenant is to forget who we are.
To protect it is to rise again.

It means:

  • Reclaiming our indigenous names and languages

  • Teaching our children the true history, not colonial lies

  • Respecting our sacred sites, elders, and rituals

  • Building economies based on values, not vanity

  • Leading with spirit before strategy

  • Honoring our divine assignment to heal the world, not imitate it


This Is Our Time

Let no one shame us for our traditions.
Let no one rewrite our beginnings.
Let no one divide what Olodumare has destined to be whole.

The covenant is in us, and we must walk with it daily—with pride, responsibility, and unity.

Let the whole earth hear us say:

“We are the people of Olodumare. We are not lost. We are rising.”
