Nigeria was a name derived form the colonial masters “niggar area” yet as known as this is not one person that came into position of power or authority saw it prudent to change the derogatory “name” yet they were quick to shout “Racism” on economic issues. A younger generation need to know these truths and need to start discussing it with themselves daily so as to better mentally position themselves when their turn comes to occupy positions of power and authority/leadership.

Given the mish-mesh of present day so-called Telecom companies (with the overwhelming really being owned by outside investors and groups that have promised heaven and earth and delivered nothing worthwhile) that have peppered wireless insecure systems all over the place in a maniac unsafe manner. How can the African people go about constructing genuine ventures/projects that can network the whole of Africa via a more secure manner of wired cabling such as fiber (or any in-grown supplementary inventions) so that Africa has it s own genuine INTERNET system.

There are various ways to approach this challenge but the solutions need to be practical and secure with even distribution and genuine care for availability for all and with planning for consistent and prolonged maintenance/sustainability in mind.

That time has come for Africans to start THINKING-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX and questioning their whole development process for solutions that are practical and meet the needs of the challenges ahead. Designing ROAD SYSTEMS (and any form of system) does not have to be an “ADOPTION/IMITATION” job as with a little bit of creative thinking (and preventing back-handed stabbing/sabotage by ones own) Africans can come up with creative and resourceful ways to produce sturdy road/transport systems. For example the “creator” did not say that “ROADS” must be made from “TARMAC”? That is the systematic legacy of Colonial rule saying that. Africans need to look inward to what is in abundance. For instance SAND is everywhere and in overwhelming abundance. There is nothing wrong with Africans experimenting and coming up with tested designs that can develop road/transportation systems that are mainly dependent on sand as a raw material unlike tarmac that is OIL based (a commodity they systematically have controlled both its development and related tooling.. AFRICANS you are NOT dumb it is just that far too many of you are sitting on your back-sides waiting for Jesus Christ to pop out of heaven and come and do these things for you. Many of you have TIME on your hands all you need to complete the cycle is skills and will power to learn and implement what you may self-learn.

See these things as “challenges” and simply STEP UP to them rather than SHY away from them. Yes, we know that there will be saboteurs who will collude with the west to thwart your efforts but when more of you start THINKING-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX and start actually practicalizing what you test and do then you make it harder for even the colluder’s/minions among your own kind to sabotage things. RISE and RISE to the challenges do not just sit there complaining!! Devise testing methods and learn how to convert raw materials to finished tools as tooling is crucial to the development process so LEARN IT somehow someway!!

Just because you went to university means nothing when it comes to employment as an employer seeks a return for any work situation that employer may provide. Merely having a university education does not qualify anyone by default employment as employment is more related to skills or meeting the requirements for that exchange of wage for work that the employer needs.

If you do not have “skills” why then do you have an expectation of job employment. More so just because you see a job advertised does not mean millions of others do not see the same job being advertised so there is often competition for that same job. Where an employer has hundreds of candidates to chose from that alone should then even make your expectations non existent.

Only when you have a mindset that is adaptive/flexible to reality will your chances of employment be greater. That said development of a nation needs skills so if you want to contribute to your own peoples development it makes sense that you invest a little time and effort understanding what skills can help both you and your people to develop as getting skills just for wage sake does not in the end benefit you and your peoples development. Presently, there are scores of thousands of highly skilled African people providing work benefit for western companies and barely anything for their own continent so skills have to translate to being used for the benefit of those who are labelled as “Black” globally and NOT for other.

Thus such persons are truly useless to the development efforts of their continent as their skills contribution is actually counter their own peoples development. Yes! I know some of you may go on the defensive denial stance on this reality but that does not change the truth that your skills learned on a high level are useless to the contributions for your own peoples development and thus only benefits the west where you presently contribute those skills. So back to the question: So some one explain WHY should an employer employ you?

Some questions may make us feel uncomfortable but the more we avoid them the more we feed the beast! This is NOT an attack on the African woman but rather it is an honest pointer to reality as if we truly want to be PROUD of ourselves then we need to start being OURSELVES and we all know fully well that the wig is part of the dehumanization maintenance factor (irrespective of how we try to “justify” it) and it is something we all need to step back and do our bit to address. For those still in defensive denial let me ask ALL you females on simple question. If you were to see me walking down the street with my hair in James Brown “perm” or me having some horse tail wig on my head as a MAN WHY is it that you would be the very first to sniggle and giggle at me for being fool-hardy? Yet you justify the horse tail on your own head? There so many other ways to “beautify” yourself if you so need it:

Come on, it is time for us to face our own reality and genuinely stand up and be PROUD of WHO WE ARE, WHEN WE ARE, HOW WE ARE, and WHAT we are!

Sadly the way a person “Thinks” determines and influences their behavior:

Thus, “BELIEF” has nothing to do with right or wrong nor good or bad nor even Truth or Falsity yet so many people with under-developed brains are incapable of comprehending this reality!

A given “chair” may be colored blue but one can deeply believe that that chair is colored “red”. Thus, whether one “believes” that that chair is other than what it is, is actually irrelevant as the truth about that chair (in this case its color being blue) will always remain irrespective of the other persons “belief” that the chair is green.

Leave the domain of “Belief” for religions where there is a “NEED” to believe irrespective of truth and do not utilize “belief” in the domain of “TRUTH” where objectivity, methodology and verification is the arbiter.

Given that this platform is all about the uplift and development of those who have been labelled as “Black” it is our challenge to the community to figure out productive and meaningful ways to prevent in future the development of sub-optimal brains amongst our lot. Thus, the challenge is HOW then can we figure out a way to grow and nurture a new breed of African originated people globally who are devoid of such low-level thought patterns and thus help enhance their thinking capabilities so that they no longer become the very stumbling blocks to their own development.

This is one major stumbling block that both needs acknowledging and facing as it has been the bedrock of WHY so often we have found those who are labelled as “Black” sabotaging their own kind (and selling their souls for trinkets) in various ways contributing vastly to the under-development of their own nations and the fermentation of their own peoples thinking abilities.. Removing this sub-optimal way of thought is a much needed rescue to pave the way for positive and unified development of a people long over due for self-development.

Nothing irritates a person more then repeatedly hearing the word “SORRY” as by that time the damage has often been done with some one having to either absorb that damage or be terribly impacted by it. The number of times I personally had to “absorb” other peoples foolish “sorry” is alone disturbing that it has forced me to wonder why is it that so many people fail to “think and Analyze” prior to acting or running their mouth? No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes BUT repeating/doing something over and over again is NOT a mistake that is a bad habit. Thus, surely there is a way to help the majority habituate prevention as a daily strategy rather than wait/hope upon a possible cure for things?
