About the Author Axɔ́sú Àgɛ̀lògbàgàn

The author of all of the material on this site is the paramount monarch of Gànlɔdó, ߊߚߐ߫ߛߎ߫ ߊ߬ߜ߯ߍ߰ߟߏ߰ߜߊ߰ߜ߯ߊ߰ߣ ߊߖ߯ߊ߰ߛߌߣߜ߳ߏߕߌ߫ߣ ߖߌ߱ߛߝ߯ߌ߰ ߊ߰ߜߐ߰ߝ߱ߌ߰, Àxɔ́sú (king) Àgɛ̀lògbàgàn Azàsinkpotín Jǐsovì Àgbɔ̀vì. He was born and raised in the port city of Mobile, Alabama (Camp Ground/Peters Park area) which happens to be the city where the last captive (“slave”) ship left from and then returned to with 110 Afrikans against their will (look up information on “The Clotilda”). He is a business school graduate with a master's degree from Alabama State University and a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. Culturally, the Àxɔ́sú is initiated and trained in several Afrikan priesthoods of the Afrikan Vodún and Ìṣẹ̀ṣẹ (Yọrùbá) traditions, including full initiation and training in Ifá/Fá divination and philosophical systems. The Àxɔ́sú is, as he came into Afrikan traditions some years ago, an avid nationalist and maroon that who not compromise his political beliefs for any watered down and false ecumenical views of Afrikan traditions that may be in vogue today.

The Àxɔ́sú is of the Garveyite school of philosophy and doing. He maintains, as he has always done, an Afrikan (“Black”) only ideology in relation to who are the rightful practitioners and who should be the sole participants in Afrikan traditions. The Àxɔ́sú is an avid diviner, specializing in Roots and Zotɔ Readings yet being masterful at any type of reading using the Fá oracle.

It was on Dokun 12, 6251 (Sept 27, 2010) in Dallas, Texas that the Àxɔ́sú was crowned as the first and only Ajã-culture monarch (àxɔ́sú)  outside of Măwùfɛ (Afrika). This title is referred to as àxɔ́sú for male monarchs and àxɔ́sí for female monarchs. In 6253 (2012), he established the Kilɔmbonu (Maroon) Monarchy of Gànlɔdó.

His Imperial Majesty is the author of 23 functional publications on the Yọrùbá Ìṣẹ̀ṣẹ and African Vodún traditions. He has made history by being the first New Afrikan (an Afrikan who descends from captive Afrikans in the itankalẹ or “diaspora”) to write a functional book on the Fɔ̀n dialect of the Ajã language of Southern Benin Republic entitle Fongbe Primer: Functional Fongbe for Our Everyday World. He made history before that by being the first New Afrikan to produce a book of Odù Ifá with all 256 Odù Ifá covered. History was made later with the publication of The Hwlɛ̆ngan, which is the only Afrikan sacred text in the world written completely in an Afrikan (Fɔ̀ngbè) dialect and an Afrikan script (N’ko of the Mande people) and is Vodún’s most sacred text. (There is no English translation or Latin script in this book). History was made again with the publication of a very sacred text called The Gànhúmehàn. Both of the aforementioned works had been suppressed among the Ajã due to internal corruption and captivity. History was made again a few years after when the àxɔ́sú became the only monarch to resurrect and use a West Afrikan calendar not influenced by non Afrikans. Further history was made when he created the Wékun Kilɔmbo Afrikan writing script which was revealed in 2024.

The axosu’s royal lineage dates back to 727 years ago to the Xwelɛngbɔsu, or the Royal House of the Mighty Ram of which he is a direct descendant. This was a royal house in what is now the city, but back then the monarchy, of Xévié (Hévié) in what is now southern Benin Republic. From 5896 – 6042 AX (1655-1801 European time) his family, the Jǐsovì, possessed the throne of Xévié until his ancestor, àxɔ́sú Dehan Ságbãju, was assassinated on the throne forcing the family to go into exile in Ọ̀yọ́ (a major Yoruba ethnic group and empire in SW Nigeria) which included his son, the crown Prince Ságbãju. The dynasty was seemingly forever interrupted as Prince Ságbãju and his family was ambushed and sold into captivity after trying to come out of exile in 6063 AX (1822) and take back the throne of Xevie from an illegitimate slave trading clan. From there, Prince Ságbãju was taken to Mobile, Alabama where he escaped captivity and became a Maroon and leader of one of the local Maroon communities.

Axɔ́sú Àgèlògbàgàn has resurrected the crown of his foremothers and forefathers yet is building anew far away from his ancestral home of Xevie, Benin Republic. This is one reason he is called Azàsinkpontín – the crown that crossed the deep waters. The Axɔ́sú is also responsible for creating the first and only official symbol for the Afrikan Vodun tradition called the sekplondo.
