A deep dive understanding of the construct of the financial system and its necessary lock-in mechanisms such as the concept and application of “Value” brings us closer to an honest appraisal of the present day global African Development Conundrum. Do you have the depth of know-how to objectively and honestly in detail answer this question? If so provide the community the sort of mental uplift in information that they need to help them in turn develop themselves and uplift their race from he mud of so-called eurocentric civilization. Information is power and knowledge is the key!

We are all at the cross-roads and should step back and reflect on what it really takes to build a continent to a level of both societal development and technological protective development. If the overwhelming majority are spending their time in frolic, worship, dance and trance then WHO (please tell me who) will then be able to provide the effort, mindset, willingness, time, resourceful brain-cells to develop Africa?

This question simply speaks for itself! Thus, the locals of the land must have then “DISCOVERED” Christopher Columbus huh! The “Conquerors” self-embellishing distortions of reality: Unless you lack a brain then you may not get it! Do not worry as I am not “obnoxious” just honest!

This is a TRUE STORY and one that stayed in my mind for decades as I had hoped one day outside of class to meet this fool called TULA and ask him WHY he would see it beneficial to HATE his OWN KIND (worse still to even “discuss” it with some “white” South African girl whose parents had also “left” South Africa at the time of conflict in comfort and where living in a comfortable house in their new found country while he (Tula) was dumped in a dead-beat one room squat as a refugee) while doing his utmost to be “near” and “Liked” by the very same people who tortured him while intensely “Hating ME” simply because those who labelled themselves as “white” tortured him and they did not TORTURE ME in his distorted mind?

Sadly, semester ended and because I never wanted to cause a scene in class (as the last thing that I ever want is to be seen in dispute with my own kind giving “other” the opportunity for morbid joy) I never got the moment in time alone to meet this TULA fella beyond in the class where often he sat his distance as I certainly would have loved to know what makes a man degenerate to this low level of SELF-HATE. anyway, I do hope some one in this community can provide an answer befitting (beyond regurgitated text-book stuff) so I can find some solace to this sheer human stupidity!

A deep dive understanding of the construct known as “Money” s required as a per-requisite to any attempt at understanding the African Development Conundrum! See if you can objectively provide detailed and honest answers to one of the most fundamental of development questions!

How was it possible that those so-called African leaders on independence could NOT see the reality that an infrastructure of DEPENDENCY had long been established and as such what was being offered to them was NOT independence but rather merely concessions in respect of an ILLUSION of independence! True INDEPENDENCE could only be achieve IF and ONLY IF they had come together as ONE AFRICA, but instead the overwhelming decisions makers (leaders) at the time were blood thirsty for “village King” status and driven by greed of seizing a window of opportunity to become village kings at the cost of UNIFICATION and TRUE DEVELOPMENT? WHY was it impossible for those leaders to step back and not give in to their personal greed for dominance and to step into the colonial masters shoes at independence. At so-called “independence” there was a window of opportunity for Africa to genuinely become self-sufficient and develop but because ALL they (so called leaders) truly did was STEP INTO THE COLONIAL MASTERS SHOES (they left the same “subjugation/dominance” infrastructure in place to suit their own personal agenda’s) for their own SELFISH Greed and FROLIC desires. Yes the “Casablanca” group saw this window of opportunity BUT like just mentioned the majority were only interested in stepping into the Colonial Masters shoes for their own personal greed and frolic. A younger generation of African people globally need more clarity on the REALITY of that so-called “INDEPENDENCE” period and the actions/decisions of those that inherited the colonial state as there is a LOT to learn form a genuine understanding of the mindset that governed many of the so-called leaders actions. Hopefully some of the more astute on these matters in the community will be able to provide a detailed wealth of answers on this subject matter. The purpose here (and else where) is to truly deconstruct the ROOT causes of our actions and inaction’s so as to present to a younger generation an honest appraisal of our reality so that they can both LEARN form our blunders and DO BETTER than those before them.

Everyone sane can think, so there is nothing new under the sun there! However, in order to think and to make your thinking meaningful we all need a structure and format for thinking. What is the 5WH thinking framework and how best can we as African originated people put it to good and productive use to aid us in both understanding the African Development Conundrum as well as in seeking solutions to many of the challenges that face us as a people globally?
