About the Book

Kono Gold or Koine Gold raises controversial issues: regarding the Kono natural resources, the  people, their traditions, and lineage,  these the world tends to identify with Sierra Leone and downplays the intellectual resources  in the country.   

 

Kono Gold reveals the culture of the Kono people: belief systems, intellect,  philosophies, religion and spirituality.

Kono Gold or Koine Gold is primarily about the Naming System of the Kono People of Sierra Leone, West Africa, however, within its chapters, controversial or sensitive issues are raised.  The problems of Africa...

 

This book is not focused on the Kono diamonds, gold or other natural resources.  On the other hand, the gold that this book is concentrated on is the golden  traditions of the Naming System of the Kono People, their valuable heritage from their ancient ancestors.

Kono Gold reveals that the wealth of a country pertains not only to the wealth of the land, but to the culture of the people, their belief systems, their intellect,  their philosophies, religion and their spirituality.

 Kono Gold reveals that of all African naming systems, the Kono tribes of Sierra Leone, West Africa have one of the most unique systems of naming their children.

This book also reveals that the Greek word, Koine, became a potent catalyst in the religious propaganda in ancient Greece. Koine became the ordinary language of the liturgy and ritual of most cults and brotherhoods that promoted equality of humankind. Koine is an African word, a Kono word, meaning gold.

 

With advent of this book, the word Koine has jettisoned its Greek meaning and recovered its original linguistic source: African etymological meaning;  thus,  recovering its  common ancient usage among the African community, for example, Koin-du,  one time  flea market of Sierra Leone is one of the  examples of the ancient use of the word Koine.


About the Author

 

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK

 

 

My exposure to Western Education, in particular, the teachings of the Bible;  starting with Genesis story to Revelations of John, I concluded that Africa must be awakened from the hypnotic sleep the enemy has put on her.

 

Thus,  I  present Africa in the global setting with Eve in that Garden.

 

As I read through the Book of Genesis, I see Africa instead of Eve, I see the Western mind instead of the serpent.  I see the African gods (all males) badly in need of and in a more deplorable condition than the creation they are to have dominion over. 

 

Finally, I see the secret societies, all males, playing God instead of The Great Mother Africa or Mu, the real creator of  mankind.

 

This creation is what the mission of  the christian Jesus was to revive and  to bring the former Glory of The Mother into a divine awakening on a planet that had fallen from a high-energy (mother energy) world of the Great Goddess to a more deplorable (father-son energy) condition, under all male governance, to a low-energy world now under the control and dominion of Lucifer or the  so-called Satan.  Humanity and the planet fell as a unit, from Matriarch to a Patriarch world.

 

My name is Kumba Femusu Solleh of the tribe of Kono, born and raised in Koidu-Town or Sefadu. I attended school in Bo at Holy Rosary Elementary School and then the Queen of the Holy Rosary Secondary School for Girls, then  Freetown in St. Joseph's convent and finally to the USA in 1972.

 

I have a BA in Philosophy, MA in Political Science, and a Nursing Degree (RN). I am well read in Theology, Anthropology, World Religion: African Tradition, Oriental Medicine, Judaism, Metaphysics, Egyptian Religion, etc...
