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?

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!

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!

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.

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.
