Why "KwaTu"?

We are all "Tu": In many, if not, most of the major indigenous languages in Africa, there's the "tu" suffix or "tu" in the body of the word meaning "a person" (NB: It can be spelt differently depending on accents, in some African languages it's "-du" & others "-tho".).  " Tu " may be the best name for Africa collectively.  Hausa: Person ~ Mu tu m Igbo: People ~ Ndị mma dụ Swahili: Person or people ~ M tu au wa tu   Maybe Tu is too short a word to call a continent so we add the place name prefix "kwa" (meaning at/for) present in Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Zulu & other African languages to make Kwatu or KwaTu .

Kwatuism: Africa's only centre-right political system.

There are many political systems around such as Marxism (communism), socialism, Maoism, Stalinism, Leninism, Nazism etc. in the world but none are as practical for Trans-Saharan Africa as Kwatuism. Below I will list what followers of this political system coined "Kwatuism" believe.  1) The ethnostate or, at least, a single-language state : The Kwatuist believes a land that is not unified by, at least, language cannot move forward. A single-ethnicity & single-language state is ideally Kwatuan because it's how Kwatu (Africa) was originally. No Nazi-like or fascist persecutions of minorities just cultural & language unity through the education system.  2) Established/ancient customs prioritised : Cultural practices are prioritised by the Kwatuist state & often made public holidays such as indigenous festivals & ancient practices as well as traditional leaders being part of the land's governance this means chiefs having a place in the land's parliame...

The top 9 most spoken indigenous African languages.

Africa is said to be home to over a thousand languages, what they don't consider is that many of the languages are mutually intelligible & can be grouped under family groups. My right to compile this list stems from the fact that I am fluent in Zulu & speak Portuguese & French semi-fluently, I can barely maintain a conversation in Swahili (still learning) which means you could put me almost anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa (or Trans-Saharan Africa) & I'd be able to communicate with the locals to a certain degree. In this list, I'll exclude non-African languages & focus on indigenous languages. This is not from one source but from many sources so it's one of the more better researched lists you'll find on the internet.  LANGUAGE - NUMBER OF SPEAKERS  * 1) Arabic - 150 million 2) Swahili - 90 million** 3) Hausa - 50 million 4) Oromo - 37,4 million 5) Igbo -  30 million 6) Yoruba - 28 million 7) Amharic - 21,8 million 8) Zulu - 16 million 9) Shona - 7...

The top 18 most populous ethnic groups in Africa.

As we all know, Africa/ Kwatu does not use it's correct borders & this is due to colonisation & the Berlin Conference of 1884 . So  which would be the most populous countries in Africa if we were to revert back to our original borders? Below is a list of the most populous ethnic groups in Africa & hence an estimate of which would be the most populous African countries & a map of what Africa could look like if it were decolonised. Ethnic group - Population 1) Maghrebis - 100 million 2) Hausa - 78 million (2019) 3) Yoruba - 40 million 4) Oromo - 35 million (2016) 5) Igbo - 34 million (2017) 6) Nilotes  - 22 million (2007) 7) Amhara - 22 million (2007) 8) Somali - 20 million (2009) 9) Akan - 20 million 10) Fulani - 20 million 11) Shona - 15 million (2000)  12) Hutu - 15 million 13) Luba - 15 million 14) Mongo - 15 million 15) Zulu - 12 million  16) Chewa - 12 million 17) Kanuri - 10 million 18) Kongo - 10 million  ...

Let's make Kwatu great again...

1) We align our countries by ethnicities & indigenous languages. Which would make more or less the same number of countries , I counted.  2) We create African social media.  3) We create an African-centred motor industry with vehicles from the same parts so they can be interchangeable. Solar-powered buses, pedal/solar powered vehicles, tuk-tuks & electric cars.  4) We create an African operating system with it's own device manufacturing plant. We make our own Microsoft Windows with computers, tablets & smartwatches that run on versions of that software .  5) A united African space programme .  6) Five currencies:  For northern, eastern, central, western & southern Africa.  Just these six things alone, I believe, would improve Africa & the lives of Africans exponentially.  African tech
