The Black Axe, also known as the Neo Black Movement of Africa or the NBM of Africa, is an international confraternity founded at the University of Benin in Nigeria as part of the Pan African movement. Its aims include the promotion and advancement of African culture and arts globally by striving to revive, retain, and modify where necessary those aspects of African culture that would aid humanity irrespective of race.[1][2] The BBC has called the group a "mafia-style gang'.[3]
NBM of Africa was registered on February 24, 1994, with the Corporate Affairs Commission under the Company and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) with registration No 7729.
