Today, I bring you a short story about myself.
My name is Osinakachi Akuma Kalu, and I am a philosopher, fearist, and futurist. I am also a strategic planner, business strategist, team builder, visionary, inspirational speaker, and humanitarian. I have founded and chaired several futuristic groundbreaking initiatives, such as TAFFD's, Afrolongevity, etc. A certified chairman of Fearism Studies in Africa. I am also the Nigerian youth chairman at the World Academy for Medical Sciences (WAMS) and the first African to win the prestigious Fearism Award. I am a certified longevist, a member of the International Longevity Alliance, and an advisor to various foresight organizations and initiatives.
My name is Akuma (Aku mma/oma), which means "good wealth" in Igbo, one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa. My Catholic baptismal name is Osinakachi, which means "comes from God's hand" in Igbo. My surname is Kalu, a short form of Kamalu, meaning "warrior" or "god of thunder and lightning" in Igbo. My expression number is 9, which reflects my humanitarian and idealistic nature. My heart number is 8, which shows my ambition and vision. My personality number is 1, which indicates my courage and confidence. My name can be abbreviated as OAK, symbolizing my strength and resilience.
I was born on Nkwo Market Day, Saturday, 19th December, at about 3 PM, into the Ndi Nkwuoma kindred of Ndi Igwe Compound, Aba village, Utugiyi(Ike Isu) community, Isu (Isu Okeke), in Arochukwu LGA, Abia State, in Eastern Nigeria. I belong to the Igbo tribe with a rich and ancient history. Although a Catholic, I am a huge fan and respectful of my cultural values and cosmology, which is the foundation of my heritage. According to some historical sources and the works of Remy Ilona, the Igbo are descendants of the Israelites, who migrated from the Near East to West Africa thousands of years ago. The cultural, linguistic, and genetic similarities between the Igbo and the Jewish people support this claim. For instance, the Igbo have a tradition of circumcision, observe the Sabbath, and practice animal sacrifice. The Igbo language also has some words that are similar to Hebrew, such as "Chineke" (God), "Imana" (Amen), and "Obi" (heart). Moreover, some DNA studies have shown that the Igbo have traces of Middle Eastern ancestry, which confirms their Israelite origin. One of the scholars who has extensively researched and written about the Igbo-Jewish connection is Remy Ilona, an Igbo socio-cultural activist and author of 10 books on this topic.
?My Life Philosophy and Mission
领英推荐
My life philosophy is based on the principle of "do not hate who/what you do not know and understand." Ignorance and lack of knowledge about our fear(s) are the root causes of many problems in the world, and education and dialogue are the keys to overcoming them. Life is the chief value, and we should strive to give life a better meaning for ourselves and others. My mission is to help people and organizations discover, become, and manifest their leadership models. I apply my knowledge and skills in various fields, such as philosophy, business management, fears, singularity, personal branding, longevity mentorship, business architecture, and 4IR (4th Industrial Revolution). I write and speak about these topics to inspire and empower my audience to achieve their goals and dreams.
I am a global villager who tries to be "villageful" in my village life. I value diversity, collaboration, and innovation. I seek to learn from different cultures, perspectives, and experiences. I also aim to contribute to the global community by sharing my insights, ideas, and solutions. I want to positively impact the world by transforming it into a more humane, peaceful, and prosperous place.
My slogan is - Focus On Your Focus ????
As you can see, I always dress on stage in a representation of my culture.
