This conversation explores the reverberating echoes of the Berlin Conference of 1884 to 1885, one of the most pivotal events that laid the groundwork for what Africa is currently experiencing. 

The conference aimed to formalize European colonization and carve up Africa without considering African voices and sovereignty. 

The legacy of the conference perpetuates systemic injustices, economic disparities, and social upheavals across the continent. The conversation delves into the comparison of Africa in 2024 to the 1960s, the role of Pan-African leaders, the importance of historical appreciation, the impact of colonialism on African legal systems, the issue of settler colonialism, and the need to preserve indigenous languages and culture. 

It also discusses the influence of Afrobeat in shaping African identity, the importance of African languages in music, the need for structural changes in education, the significance of consent in relationships, the influence of Nelson Mandela, and the impact of credit systems on society. Lastly, it touches on using music as a weapon of liberation.
