WHAT HAPPENED TO AFRICA'S TRUE LEADERS.... A DREAM POSTPONED!

Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Haile Selasie, Felix Boigny, Amilcar Cabral, Agostinho Neto, Samora Machel. Have you heard of these brave African leaders? if not please go do your research and ask yourself, what ever happened to Africa having these calibre of leaders in our mist again. The old rhetoric that western interests are to blame is as dead as Ronald Reagan. Everyone is to blame, more so the pathetic, corrupt and mediocre men and women who sit in many African states pretending to know, they can define the words selfless leadership, as they amass monumental wealth and material glory. and who no honorable, passionate, decent African has the courage to remove....

ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMINALS

Imagine a beautiful beach like the one above, you used to go there a lot in childhood, as a teenager, and when you married with your kids. And you go back today, after not going for many many years, the paradisiacal beach is gone, the ocean has been sand filled like 70 meters into the ocean itself, and you see a sign board saying ATLANTIC CITY, a multi billion dollar development for the rich and stupid, hotels, corporate offices, in fact a mid ocean BABYLON 2. I just got back from BAR BEACH Lagos, and this is what I saw a massive environmental crime, which will effect generations to come. A beach that was accessible to all be you rich or poor, God made beaches all over the world for all to enjoy and relax. In Lagos is common practice to destroy beaches in favor of property developments, or for private use. Users pay to get in. And the ordinary hard working man and woman will go where? Lagos is fast running out of land, so the solution is to sand fill and sand pack the ocean. The solution for the greedy fools who can not see beyond the next 10 years not to talk 50, 100 years, and who do not care that even in nature nemesis reigns. Challenging nature in this brutal beastly manner in my view is the same as challenging GOD for most of us who believe. Yet these criminals, state governments, federal governments, private interests, corporate interest, greedy, money loving interests, despicable interests, tend to get away time after time with impunity..... Until it all comes crumbling down, in the face of a tsunami, a massive tornado or tropical storm, essential to remind man and woman alike, in the face of nature in the end, we are nothing but greedy, money loving little rats......

AFRICA ON THE MOVE

For the past decade many African countries have seen their economies stabilized, or with an average of 6% growth. Between the period of 2007 and 2011, it also went through a period of relative peace, with the exception of the civil war in Ivory Coast, and Sudan. Africans essentially all want peace, democracy, accountability, progress, and self improvement, like any other person in our global village.
The current African, and Western leaders should not derail the present course of development and stability God and man has granted to "mother Africa" currently. Its is 2014 and although selfish, and backward thinking interests have installed themselves in the Central African Republic, South Sudan, and in one or other country in  in this massively beautiful, and wealthy continent, relative peace still reigns, and should be left to muster. It is an obvious fact. Africa can feed itself, and a quarter of the world, Africa is the richest continent in the world in terms of untapped natural resources. Africans are educating themselves more and more up to tertiary level. Thousands of companies from this vast, and existential world have moved in, and are daily moving into Africa to invest in  Africa, and sit back to reap massive profits. It is widely known that although the risks in investing in Africa are high, the returns or profits are equally unmatched. Africa is the continent of the future! It is it's destiny, regardless what the hypocrites, and skeptics, the same ones who once aided and abetted, the arrest and near destruction of it's development and integrity say now. Wake up Africans, there is no going back, we have passed the point of no return, the future is the legacy we leave behind for those we love who will succeed us.

A HAPPIER NEW YEAR

If only for a while mankind could put their selfish interests aside, replace violence with kind gestures, guns with roses, hatred with love,  fellow beings over self, madness with serenity,  oblivion with purpose, noise with calm, corruption with honesty, if only for a blissful week, a month, Oh my God, we would instantly realize there was once a place called planet earth, with wonderful human beings inhabiting it... Happier New Year 2014.

TAKING WHAT RIGHTFULLY IS YOURS...

No one knows for certain, what the approximate population in Africa is, in a continent where quite frankly life is considered cheaper than a materialistic icon the such of any German saloon car for instance.

But one thing I can assure you as an African. The tide is slowly turning.

Today Africa can boast of large, ever growing, educated, vibrant, passionate, proud, and talented younger generations, who have learned by virtue of war, famine, poverty, and early death, not to fall for the same sorry ass excuses their parents fell for in the sixties, seventies, and eighties, in order to justify their lazy, cowardly lack of approach at fighting for what was and is duly theirs, as they passively watched foreigners install puppets in order for these same foreigners to reap what they never sowed, and never will!

Obviously it is common knowledge, that these foreigners simply did not breeze into our vastly wealthy continent with little or if at all, any cash, in order to decades, centuries later, reap billions, trillions, quadrillions, from a continent they labelled as "The dark continent " as if off away on a walk, from their middle classed, suburban houses on a sunny, pleasant afternoon in their own respective countries. The complicity was clearly spear headed by their gruesome, capitalistic barbaric master plan, which included assassinating great African patriots, in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties, thus installing rusty puppets of no human or essential value, so that their master plan of raping Africa dry, could be executed, as it has been, and will continue for some time to come.

But we need to truly and objectively look at " the dark continent" as intelligent, non greedy, cultured, and visionary people this globe over, have been doing for decades; that you can never oppress a people, today estimated at a little bit over 300 million with the numbers impressively rising, for evermore.  No matter how many sold out puppets you keep installing in the "the dark continent". The light has finally fallen upon Africa, no thanks to the greedy bastards, and pathetic fools who enslaved Africa in benefit of their own private, and personal gains, but fundamentally due to the endless resilience of Africans, and Africa alone!

I am pleased as a middle aged African, to see the generations following mine, understand, that they simply must take their destiny into their own hands, and must not wait around for hand outs that they know only too well, they will never see. The greedy global bastards that roam this vast planet, like blood thirsty vampires, with their bitten, and smitten installed puppets, who are only too happy to drink down African economies, with the aid of  a vile French drink commonly known as champagne, most definitely have their satanic days numbered to end.

Yes, it won't take too much longer now, as we Africans have awaited for our liberation from the satanic foes for centuries, and we know now, as all indicators point out, economic, spiritual, and every other wise, that now it's just a question of years. The younger African generations of today  are now thankfully connected to the same technology the greedy bastards use in their luxurious offices world over. This essentially only goes to reinforce the message behind the feeble, that the mad professor who conceived the monster,  ultimately gets eaten by his own conception. Believe  you me, it is very very encouraging to the African generations marching on behind, that look forward to being them doing all the eating with all their heart and mind, as opposed to being left the only other inevitable option of being eaten. My advise quite frankly on this issue is "get as hungry as you possibly can young Africans, as hungry as you possibly can".

BROTHER WHERE ARE WE BOUND (SUPERTRAMP SONG)

In the photograph our future...

I we could all have the slightest of dignity, to be truthful to ourselves, then in the minimum we must simply admit that it's a very ugly world we live in. When even at a time of global financial crisis, the wealthy keep amassing hundreds of billions of dollars world over, and the poor who were already poor, struggling for a meal a day, now may have to content with half a meal a day, if that isn't simply ugly dirty or deplorable, someone please tell me what it is?

Capitalism, has clearly become an exclusive legacy, only for those who can access money; be it by inheritance, having access to money legally or illegally, today it does not matter, or by simply being an overzealous greedy moron, etc, etc, etc. The bottom line is that money, purely and simply is what it is money. Those minorities who are favored to get clean money by using up personal contacts, having a special relationship with their bank managers, etc, etc, etc can at least if only for a few years sleep really well through the peaceful night. Those that don't, just simply have to slave their lives away, just to keep up with the bills which keep increasing annually. And then you get the other faction of sapiens, who simply will take the money by any means necessary, including governments of nations who have trillion of dollars in cash flow anyway, using legal or illegal forms of transactions, it simply, no longer, matters to them anyway. The Animal must survive in the jungle. Survival of the fittest, being the first concrete rule of jungle law.

It is a shame, that some top banks all over the world, collect annual returns of billions of dollars from
illicit sources, terrorists, drug barons, heads of states in developing countries, and the list of characters is too long to mention, using the same banks, who with massive turn over, can afford to  lend legitimately to "supposedly"non corrupt, civilized countries.

And as quadrillions of dollars circulate around our world every year, the majority of the global population  still struggle to get just one decent meal a day.

Surely their must be a solution, or we are simply are all, bloody stupid, as the british love to say. And whilst the supposed financial "Einstein's" in this our planet, try to get  their brains to function, many times over a bottle of expensive  french cognac, thousands of souls perish every day, failing to secure a little slice of bread to eat.

 Now you assholes "politicians" go home to your comfortable, lavish homes, with your fridge, packed with food, drinks, and wines, and try to figure this one out!

FIFTY YEARS OF SUPPOSED AFRICAN UNITY....

As celebrations are under way to commemorate fifty years of The Organization For African Unity, OAU, now known as AU, African Unity, many questions still abound.

Fact! 60 per cent of untouched arable land in the world remains in Africa. Fact! Africa is the zone that offers the largest investment returns in the world! Fact! Consumer expenditure is projected to grow in Africa from 600 billion US Dollars in 2010, to 1 Trillion US Dollars in 2020. Fact! 40% of Africa's current population is under 35, yet steady employment stands at only about 30% over all. Although the potential opportunities are far greater than any other continent, as natural wealth is found in most of the 53 African countries, foreign investment has increased 90% since the 70's, and so has infrastructure, although this is yet to trickle down to the man and the woman in the streets.

The OAU, although it's founding members intended to be a pan -africanist organization, defending the principle that what is good for one nation will be good to its neighbor and so on; is still plagued with strong nationalist sentiments, many leaders, still preferring to adhere directly more to their people and culture, than to one generally accepted modi operandi. Easy nationalism wins internal elections.


It has taken 50 years to overcome quite a few problems, even though many still persist, the occasional armed conflict, famine, out of control corruption, tribalism, to mention just a few still ponder the magical land.

Surely to embrace one Africa, with one common goal, a clear common path, to undergo common sense objectives, such as triplicating trade within ourselves by facilitating the crossing of goods, and people within our borders, so our economies can become far more dynamic and unified,  constructing an african inter state highway or african inter state rail road line,  can only be seen as the obvious, and beneficial to africans and beyond , and one does not have to have a university degree to see this.
It is a dire shame many of our leaders or so called leaders are yet to see the light. But it is absolutely imperative for our survival, not only for Africa's survival, but beyond; that those given the opportunity to change the course of Africa  begin to see the larger picture as a hole, side line their personal selfish interests, and see down the line, that they simply are obligated and not by choice, to leave a positive legacy, if only for their immediate generations to come. let the next fifty years establish Africa as powerful, respectful, continent, where most of it's people are at least minimally taken care of, where the private sector has boomed tenfold thus creating millions of much needed jobs,  and I look forward to the day my children can take the train from Tunisia all the way down to South Africa, or drive down the highway safely, without having to board an aircraft.Then Africa will no longer be whispered as africa but roar as it should AFRIKA!!!
