Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 The Osirica is purported Black Egyptian masonic order. It is mentioned in some afrocentric discussions of ancient History of Egypt Egyptian history . The theory of its existence is based on archeological evidence of an Egyptian village near Dier El Medina . There it has been discovered that the inhabitants were developing their education in a very progressive manner. From there they became the principal architects and builders of the tombs of the Valley of the Kings . The word Osirica may likely have been the Hellenization of the ancient Egyptian word Asauru which translates followers of Osiris . The word is used in many French language French and Italian language Italian references to Ancient Egypt ian culture and history, but very rarely is found in English language English . The word was first used in English by George Granville Monah James book Stolen Legacy in 1954. George G.M. James is a controversial Afrocentricist whose work and motives have been hotly criticised by the mainstream Egyptology and especially Eurocentric oriented scholars. Lately, the Osirica are championed by Afrocentric scholars and students as the original ancient Lodge of the Masonic order Freemasonry , and the foundation of most modern Masonry orders. Thus for many leading scholars, the Osirica are the originators of all Masonry orders in the world. This claim that the classical period Greek masonic orders gained their knowledge from Egyptian sources may be based on legends originating from an ancient Egyptian village at present day Dier El Medina, Egypt. This village was originally named Ta Set Ma at the Place of Truth , and was founded in the New Kingdom in the early 16th century B.C., by the 17th Dynasty Pharaoh Amenhotep I . There the craftsmen and women were the builders of the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.

The West African National Secretariat WANS was a Pan Africanist movement founded by Kwame Nkrumah , based in Britain. Nkrumah founded WANS in December 1945, immediately following the Manchester Pan African Congress , becoming the new organisation s Secretary General. Other founder members included Isaac Theophilus Akunna Wallace Johnson I. T. A. Wallace Johnson who was elected as Chairman , Bankole Akpata , Kojo Botsio and Bankole Awooner Renner the first President . Many of its initial members were also members of the West African Students Union WASU . WANS aimed to build a united movement throughout West Africa for independence, on a platform of anti imperialism . Its view of West Africa was broad, and aimed to include countries as distant as Kenya and Sudan . A major congress was planned, but never came to fruition. Within WANS, Nkrumah organised a secret socialist revolutionary group, known as The Circle . This group worked closely with the Communist Party of Great Britain . During 1946, WANS published five issues of a monthly journal, The New African , containing articles in English, French and Belgian, on West African issues, but also incorporating stories from the Moscow New Times . In September, it held a joint conference with WASU, which Nkrumah convinced L opold S dar Senghor and Sourou Migan Apithy to attend. WANS was considerably weakened after Nkrumah returned to Africa in 1947, and appears to have dissolved the following year.
