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.

A very sad phenomenon and a legacy of the well indoctrinated divide and rule (self-hate psyop) that was masterminded/inflicted by European descendants for centuries. Unfortunately, those in positions of power, authority and leadership in Africa seemed to lack a genuine understanding of their peoples devastation’s/legacies and seem to have learnt very little from their OWN peoples history. A phenomena that has been seen repeatedly from South Africa to West Africa in the past 60 years.

Africans, YOU ALL need to STOP and THINK and look in the mirror and ask yourself What the Heck are we doing? WHY do I find hating my OWN kind as the ONLY seemingly pacifying solution to the many woes that OTHERS have perpetrated on us?

It STARTS WITH YOU THE INDIVIDUAL. So the big question here is HOW DO WE GET OUR heavily brainwashed people globally to STOP hating on each other let alone setting each other on fire (as in the cases of Africa mainland) or shooting one another as often seen in the Diaspora. YOU are the younger GENERATION it is your task to find practical solutions to these legacy problems…So START THINKING and figure out lasting ways to STOP this mental and emotional inherited inadequacy of being that seems to afflict our kind!

Sheer human stupidity has reared its ugly head endlessly when it comes to African affairs. For a while many in French colonized parts of Africa strutted around “PROUD” to call themselves French Africans even among those who had never set their foot in the colonial masters country. Thus, we have to ask where did this warped Mindset come from? Hopefully, those astute and conscious among the younger generation of Africans from former (well…They still are as of writing) french colonies can better put pen to paper and help everyone better understand the psychology behind the “HOW TO” of this sort of mindset!

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.

Far too many times in my lifetime have I seen people seeking employment acting as if the one providing employment owes them an obligation to do so! This poor mindset is very annoying to experience as all and any job offer is merely a two-way contract. Some one wants something done and you on the other should have the SKILLS or capabilities to provide what the first person wants done that he/she is willing to go into an exchange with you for.

Unfortunately, more times than none the scales are tilted towards the employers favor as there are often thousands of applicants for every single job so the competition alone is heavy. When we as individuals fail to understand that we need to come with something tangible rather than merely “expectations” then we approach the two way interaction with the wrong mindset. Imagine an example of a person coming up to you to fill a carpentry role that you need done and that person when asked if he has any tools for the trade says NO and then expects YOU to supply them for him. This may be a simple example but it is an endless true story also.

NO ONE OWES YOU NOTHING AND IT IS WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS REALITY WILL YOU THEN BE BETTER MENTALLY POSITIONED TO NOT LOSE ANY OPPORTUNITIES NOR ABUSE ANY FAVORS PASSED YOUR WAY. Each time you want the best for other that other often ends up abusing it simply because this simple fact here being explained has never occurred to them!

African Development can only happen when each and everyone of us understands and takes on, with dignity and pride, both personal and collective responsibilities rather than try to shelve them.

Clearly the once structured organization known as Organization of African Unity (OAU) as a brain-child of the then leadership at so-called “independence” of African nations was conceived as a tool and strategy for one day attaining the unification of Africa BUT sadly has failed woefully to achieve its intended objective as it has now ended up with a new name, a new set of colonial masters dangling the strings with puppets leaders and administrators all via for more western “donations” with incredulous ingenuity of begging mechanisms (as now the “shadow colonial masters” have tossed a permit token for “economic” unification and everyone is jumping up and down with joy when a one world governance was being gently planned and instituted behind the scenes) .

Thus as AFRICAN people we now are at a cross-roads and need to figure out by ourselves HOW we, the people, can TRULY foster and habituate a UNITY of Africans in Africa as well as those in the Diaspora rather than simply paying lip-service to the concept of Unity. no ONE (or group) is genuinely going to UNIFY us as that is something ONLY WE can DO

We have spent most of our years trying to “understand” the challenges at their roots that time and age is no longer on our side: It is now up to you the younger generation to take the pointers we leave and to carry on form where we left off and figure out a way to genuinely UNITE Africans and its people globally. Simply start here by putting your brain to the thinking test and see how resourceful and creative your own thinking can be on a much needed topic! Put in the effort to roll this reality through your mind form time to time as you have the creativity and the will so just dig deep and over time the practical answers shall flow form you! Always remember: If you NEVER think about it then there will never be ideas or creative ways to achieve UNITY…so THINK because YOU are AFRICA and AFRICA is YOU and AFRICA needs your practical and objective THINKING POWER!
