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!

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!

This one is for the more conscious and astute members of the community to tackle as you first have to peel back your own mis-education in order to construct a presupposition-less pure and objective new educational system! Thus, no more using western criterion’s to construct (thus fabricate) our own “his” story, no more imaginary war-mongering kings and queens, no more desperate associations to violent, controlling and subjugation prone “empires” ascribed by the west as “civilized”, nor more using guidelines of savagery, violence, war-mongering as criterion’s for civilization aspirations just to fit-in, time for us to simply tell the story based on truth and not emulate/imitate the lie-filled story-manufacturing history of the west.

Yes! the likes of Christopher Columbus could not and did not “discover” the Americas as there were people on the shore looking at him when his ship arrived…we do not need to go down that lie-filled self-propping story telling his-story lines….time to simply be honest and research/tell our history just as it was without the pimping of it

Astute African brains….Go for it!

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?

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.

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.

For centuries an intentional onslaught was enacted on African originated people by Europeans descendants over time. Although the efforts are still in effect (you saw it in Libya, China and with the George Floyd and all the other blatant disregard for life of our kind incidents in recent times) the real puzzle is HOW have Africans managed to survive this relentless de-valuing and de-humanizing onslaught over the centuries.

That time has come for us to look inwards and start figuring out ways (rather than going into defensive denial) of HOW we can put VALUE and dignity back into the life of OURSELVES…no one is going to do it for us as ONLY we can do this!

At first this question may seem like a stinging indictment on those who labelled themselves as “white” but it is not! Rather it is a question filled with HONESTY. If Humanity truly wants to become HUMAN these sorts of questions do need to be tabled for discussions because you cannot imp[rove if you sweep under the carpet vital ROOT CAUSE questions. The sooner we all learn to genuinely (not smoke screen by throwing in diversions) our reality the sooner humans can start to learn to live in peace among each other truly respecting each others diversity and not abusing it. If you want a “Better” world start by being HUMAN.
