That time has come for Africans to start THINKING-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX and questioning their whole development process for solutions that are practical and meet the needs of the challenges ahead. Designing ROAD SYSTEMS (and any form of system) does not have to be an “ADOPTION/IMITATION” job as with a little bit of creative thinking (and preventing back-handed stabbing/sabotage by ones own) Africans can come up with creative and resourceful ways to produce sturdy road/transport systems. For example the “creator” did not say that “ROADS” must be made from “TARMAC”? That is the systematic legacy of Colonial rule saying that. Africans need to look inward to what is in abundance. For instance SAND is everywhere and in overwhelming abundance. There is nothing wrong with Africans experimenting and coming up with tested designs that can develop road/transportation systems that are mainly dependent on sand as a raw material unlike tarmac that is OIL based (a commodity they systematically have controlled both its development and related tooling.. AFRICANS you are NOT dumb it is just that far too many of you are sitting on your back-sides waiting for Jesus Christ to pop out of heaven and come and do these things for you. Many of you have TIME on your hands all you need to complete the cycle is skills and will power to learn and implement what you may self-learn.

See these things as “challenges” and simply STEP UP to them rather than SHY away from them. Yes, we know that there will be saboteurs who will collude with the west to thwart your efforts but when more of you start THINKING-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX and start actually practicalizing what you test and do then you make it harder for even the colluder’s/minions among your own kind to sabotage things. RISE and RISE to the challenges do not just sit there complaining!! Devise testing methods and learn how to convert raw materials to finished tools as tooling is crucial to the development process so LEARN IT somehow someway!!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Nigeria was a name derived form the colonial masters “niggar area” yet as known as this is not one person that came into position of power or authority saw it prudent to change the derogatory “name” yet they were quick to shout “Racism” on economic issues. A younger generation need to know these truths and need to start discussing it with themselves daily so as to better mentally position themselves when their turn comes to occupy positions of power and authority/leadership.

It is easy to write a book, even easier to stand up on a stage with some elongated object between our hands and mouth and sing, dance and clap wantonly about “AFRICA” but it is extremely hard to honestly face our own reality. For decades Africans have sung about Unity, Waffled on about it, Danced for it, Romanticized on it yet it is still an Illusion to be pursued. The starting point to everything and anything is acknowledgement, followed by understanding. If we do not as a people acknowledge that we truly have a problem how then can we move on to the next stage of genuinely trying to understand that problem let alone coming up with solutions to that problem? as a race globally irrespective of what designation you desire to label yourself (African, Afro-American, Black, Mixed race, Mulatto, French Black person, Black Briton, Afro Latino, Blazian,etc.) we need to find a way to do an honest appraisal of our present standing. As if we have no where documented where people can go to better understand their own plight we are just as good as clueless perpetual sitting ducks. There are many amongst you in the community that have skills and wisdom find a way utilizing the digital tools on this platform to put together a meaningful Appraisal of the present state of those labelled as Black. Once that is a practicality, nature, time and effort will take control for others to put to good use that appraisal! Before the very “appraisal” we first need to know HOW to even do one….So for those of you with wisdom lay out the steps here for others that may be struggling with ideas to use as pointers.

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!
