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.

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?

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.

Every existing system of governance and all previous systems from the advent of interaction with Europeans that Africa has had has been none other than an “ADOPTION” of foreign matter. That time has come for Africans to do their OWN thinking and designing. It is because many of you have left it to the inherited colonial state apparatus to come up with governance methods for the people. Sadly, if anyone would have carefully read/analyzed their own history and that of the European colonial masters they inherited these systems of governance from it SHOULD have be clear that these systems of governance (irrespective of which “ism” they adopted) are neither for the people or genuinely by the people but rather were designed top down for a minority CONTROL of the “people” and often times systematically repressive/violent and coerce dependency based.

Thus, there is NOTHING African, or genuine for that matter, in these systems as Africans prior to European interaction lived in harmony and peace with each other as the very fact that they got easily (nearly resistant free) colonized buttresses this point as no nation back in those days of bayonet rifles and cannons could swiftly conquer a land mass as humongous as Africa if the people in Africa themselves had long been war-faring mongrels themselves. So any senseless denial argument is baseless as Africa’s colonization was not done with todays’s modern warfare tools but rather it was done virtually as a walk in the park (much of it done even before the maxin machine gun was introduced) with next to no real resistance as the inhabitants themselves were not war-mongering mongrels so resistance was very minimal and conquest pre-assured.

As the YOUNGER GENERATION you need to LEARN from the lessons of those before you and learn your lessons WELL! Those before you were a major part of the problem as many were heavily indoctrinated (education, religion and by a mere “erotic” desire to emulate the “frolic” of their masters before them), heavily mis-educated and ignorant, dubious and compromised (as such even the military had been externally trained to be violent INWARDS and ineffective OUTWARDS as they could not even defend their own countries against the weakest of western nations but could be extremely relied upon to be repressive internally as subtly indoctrinated/brainwashed by their western military trainings and steered thinking to “fear” western external intervention) making it virtually impossible to stand on their own two feet .

You are the younger generation and it is your task to figure out ways for Africa to SELF-DEVELOP without reliance on others. This is not an easy feat but it is a doable feat if you all set your mind to it rather than wasting your time excited about everything thrust down your throats from the western world. as take PRIDE and find DIGNITY in building and maintaining your own development and not simply trying to “purchase” or imitating others. Start right here by thinking critically, in-depth, Outside-the-Box, and objectively about the question asked above:

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?

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!
