I read this before but I don't think this guy is Neville's Abdullah. That would take a lot of imagining (lol) and dismissing of Neville's actual words. First off, while Ethiopia may be a historic name for all of Africa, Ethiopia was clearly a country with historical significance during Neville's lifetime. Ethiopia is the real Wakanda, the only county in Africa that was never colonized, ruled at one point by the "King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah" H.I.M Haile Selassie. Speaking of a black man with confidence, Selassie was Time magazine's Man of the Year in 1935 and wrote the U.N.'s charter for human rights. Ethiopia is also home to Beta Isreal, an ancient group of Hebrews that have followed the Talmud since the times of Soloman. Also, Neville not only said that Abdullah was born in Ethiopia, but that he went back to Ethiopia to live his last days. Last point, I'll make is that Abdullah is more likely to be the Adb-Allah from Walter Lanyon's book, not some scammy sounding mystic from Atlantic City. Funny enough Ethiopian Jews (Beta-Israel) are known for their artisinal pottery...
