RENOWNED Nigerian writer and social activist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has joined voices with those urging Europe to return artefacts taken from African nations during colonial era.

The vociferous Pan-Africanist made the call at the Humboldt Forum, Berlin in Germany, where she stressed that the materials regarded as African art, represent the cultural identity, dignity and religious inclination of people in the region.

IKENGA: African Sacred Object, Repository of Spiritual Meaning
WHEN I was researching my second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, which is set during the Nigerian Biafran war that started in 1967, a woman told me a story about her elderly father. It was early in the war and they were in the Biafran hometown, feeling relatively safe because the war seemed far away. Then suddenly they heard the loud terrifying sounds of bombing very close to them, and they knew that they had only minutes to leave their home and run into the interior for safety, before the Nigerian soldiers arrived.
The elderly father was a wealthy man, but the only thing he rushed to take with was his Ikenga, a piece of wood, a beautifully carved piece of wood, but it wasn’t just a piece of wood, it was also the repository of spiritual meaning. The Ikenga represented his Chi, his personal spirit as well as his ancestors, his guardian angels.


Trouver l’autre mystérieux

L’amour est un mystère pour ceux qui le vivent, un mystère pour ceux qui le regardent. Nous constatons, mais nous ne comprenons pas. Pourquoi ? Parce que ce qui nous lie à l’autre est inexplicable. Aimer vraiment, c’est aller vers quelqu’un, non pas seulement pour son image (sa beauté, sa ressemblance avec tel ou tel), ni pour ce qu’il symbolise (un père, une mère, le pouvoir, l’argent), mais pour son secret. Ce secret que nous ne savons pas nommer, et qui va rencontrer le nôtre : un manque ressenti depuis l’enfance, une souffrance singulière, indéfinissable. « L’amour s’adresse à notre part d’inconnu, explique le psychanalyste Patrick Lambouley.
