USA Africa Dialogue Series - Toyin Adepoju,"Alaafin, Sango,, Africa Science",African Crafts and Western science

I think we have a problem of perception here. whe you say WITCH you immediately see an ugly woman!. lets present the sizzle instead of the sausage then weare fine.. so lets regrand magic as African science,  and witch craft as African craft. are we making progress.

now  for some inexplicable reason   I wrote to German Chancellor Angela merkel herself a scientist or western scientist and i stated   , WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES   the SAME place THRRE times  the african believes here must be something but in the western rational scientific tradition it is just coincidence.

but lets look more at lightning through the alaafin of oyo, Oba lmidi adeyemi.

on march 11 1978, the man who plated sango and stunned theaudience at the berlin jazzz festival in germany,passed away. that night there was thunder,there was lightning,i remenber, onmarch 11 199, brazil had the worlds worst power failure was thatthe sign of sango. most of the slaves taken to brazil were from oyo,land ifo sango!

we vare told that the third Alaafin of  Oyo had thev powers to conjure lightning,i notice that  Kabiyesi celebrated  his  51 anniversary on january 17 2022. why? that coincides with the birth of benjamin franklin the inventor of the lightning conductor! coiicidence? its also the birtday of mohammed ali, the  world renowned boxer, kabiyesi was into boxing!
