You can build all the global “Wakanda” cities you want but until ALL the remotest parts of Africa have clean running pipe borne water, proper objective educational institutions, reliable forms of electricity, well thought-out/implemented structured transportation infrastructures, high-speed intranet connected communication systems, decent accommodation, decent walkways, proper caring health systems for ALL, and are governed humanely as well as peacefully and humanely without fear or terror, coercion, censorship we DO NOT consider Africa DEVELOPED.

Our concept/standard of DEVELOPMENT is putting the necessary EFFORT, TIME, OUT-OF-THE-BOX-THINKING and RESOURCES to ensure ALL parts of Africa is equally served with a decent right to life and living. Only then will we rest out hats down and genuinely say “AFRICA HAS DEVELOPED. It is not enough to build “Wakanda” cities of frolic for tourists attractions while the people continue to be deprived of basic decency. The same effort, thought, excitement and resources put into constructing tourist attractions for FROLIC is the same amount of thought, time, excitement and effort needed to genuinely put Africa on the DEVELOPMENT MAP. Simply think beyond your own nose and self-centeredness on this issue and come up with answers to the above question without recourse to regurgitated text-book content as when AFRICA rises YOU rise also.

The question we should all first ask ourselves is who gives the person who gives me a job a job?

Thus, why are we conditioned via school and the mass media to pre-suppose that we have to go with hands wide open “LOOKING” for a job? Notice how neither the state, the educational system nor the media seems to point us (or encourage us) to figure out ways how we can generate our own income without leaning on the state system? If you have LAND, A LITTLE FAMILY TLC, TEAMWORK CAPABILITIES, WILL POWER, and are RESOURCEFUL/INNOVATIVE in thought what is wrong with you and a few friends teaming and starting up your own business projects and generating your own income? Genuine INDEPENDENCE starts with you and your own MINDSET!

The Night or DARK that is tranquil and part of creation does no “EVIL” to no one as it is “HUMANS” who put EVIL into it: Historically the overwhelming atrocities and abuse of humanity has been done by European descendant people yet with nearly every statement you hear people of european descent use to “describe” these very evils always equates EVIL with DARK and GOOD with white….this is ludicrous and only goes to unmap the depth of the self-mental amputation of thought within european descendant people which was once pointed out by Brother Malcolm decades ago. (now do not misconstrue me I know there are a few European descendants who understand this reality and make an effort to avoid it so this is not putting everyone in one basket).

It is hard to listen to some one who seems to be saying something meaningful then suddenly spoils it all by such a callous looseness of tongue. Many people mean well but sadly they seem to be dominated by their own inherent senseless indoctrinated biases. Ask yourself what really doe sit take for a person to analyze their own thoughts remembering that they are not the only thing that constitutes humanity and thus should keep things real rather than sensationalizing them.. I personally do not have the answer to this particular question so I hope I can find pointers here.

We do not necessarily have to “imitate” the west all we need to do is Think-Outside-The-Box and figure out our own way forward as a people and not as selfish individuals.
