  Nothing wrong with paying homage to one's ancestors. However, there's no comparison of African traditional spirituality to quantum physics. The former is a style of mixture of ancestor worship, unfounded spiritual beliefs and unproven claims of spiritual powers while the latter is a science that can be measured and proven. The two don't come anywhere close to each other. African traditional spirituality is full of quackery and too many outlandish claims that have no merit, a pseudo-religious practice that has been practiced for centuries but is full of too many spiritual deceptions.

  I hear what you are saying. And I understand the concepts of Ifa as it pertains to Isalaye of spiritual beings, be it Odu Ifa, human beings, or Orisha. Just because a scientist has not "validated" these concepts or realities in a way that you or I can agree with, doesn't mean it is not possible. The concept of Ibeji approaches this idea of entanglement and is a concept that is observed in Africa as well as the Diaspora. Many research projects have been conducted with twins and there seems to be an unspoken communication/esp possible. Research on plants by scientist have proven that they are sentient and respond to photons in ways other than just "growing". Orisha Oko and Osain with Ile Oluguere or Aiye with the many verses of Ifa that talk about their relationships seem to really convey a knowledge that is beyond "perceived" reality. Just because many charlatans make claims about their powers, don't mean that this knowledge doesn't exist in the spiritual technology of African Religious Systems.

  Interesting article, your point delves into some of my own thoughts on true continental progress. This idea would also require the involvement from indigenous leaders not just political leaders in government, and it would require institutions.
