Get the Akajah mug.During the 60s when Fela Anikulapo Kuti went to play in the US, he was introduced to the Black Panther movement. He held shows for them. He wanted to call the movement by their adopted name. Panther in Yoruba is Akata . So he called the movement Akata. And since all members of Black Panther were called "Black Panther" , subsequently Fela and all Yorubas and Nigerians referred to all members of the movement as AKATA. Todays generation may not know the genesis of the word and term it derogatory etc but it isn't. It's a direct translation of the Black Panthers name. And all members of the Movement at that time knew the meaning.

Get the akathisia mug.Akata is an abbreviated Igbo word, akataka, which means: a tough man like Okonkwo in Chinue Achebe's "Things Fall Apart".
With the emergence of westernization and woman's empowerment, the abbreviated form “akata” was used to describe a tough Igbo wife/woman that can drive away all her husband’s relatives and isolate him from his family so as to gain access to all his wealth when he passed away without given his relatives any chance to claim some part of his properties as is the custom of Igbo people.
When Igbos (in Nigeria) started migrating to America, they found African American ladies tough to control and wayward unlike the laid-back attitude the Igbos are accustomed to. They christened them akata, but now it is equal used for both male and female African Americans.
n. (1) an African American (especially a wayward one).
(2) a tough Igbo woman.

Don't marry (an) akata, she will soon divorce you
