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!

With so much intentional orchestrated indoctrination deeply embedded into the academic system that African people inherited from their oppressors one has to ask how can Africa as a society start to roll-back all the layers of mental indoctrination that for centuries has been layered on it:

This has to be done because the existing MINDSET is probably Africa’s biggest stumbling block. If at any point in time you have come into direct contact with the average African supposed scholar you would know that they seem to regurgitate virtually everything they have been taught/spoon-fed and actually know NOTHING by and of themselves which often impedes having decent discussions (the positive) together as you end up having only “debates and/or arguments” (the negative).

The depth and level of penetration that this centuries old brainwashing of the average African mindset has over the way the present day African originated person (be that an African in the mainland or an Afro-American or Afro-caribean etc.) educated in institutions (formulated on western criteria that are genuine African Self-development development content-agnostic) modelling quasi modelling themselves on inherited/”handed down ” constructs for learning behave towards their own kind greatly compounds the task making it not an easy feat. Thus,it will involve deep understanding and visualization that will need to deconstruct layers of human constructs deeply embedded within the mind prior to even putting an educational system design in place. Hopefully, the community can come up with practical step-by-step ways of achieving this.

Sadly, we seem to be the one race that failed to QUESTION the things we INHERITED. The oppressor tells us put a white wig on your head…We say Thank You Massa!! They say, create an economy for tourism…we say Thank you Massa never rationally questioning just accepting every excuse they provide as reasons. They even provide what is slated as “benefits” of us and like handicapped children incapable of our own thought and assessment we say once again…Thank you Massa!

Even 60 years after so called independence we still fail to question the sense in what we do and what we continue to promote from the legacies of our past. The sad thing is it even looks stupid let alone it being stupid! Just as we have asked the women still stuck in colonial second class citizen mindsets to remove their horse tails we ask the so called mis-educated African men in positions of authority and power to look in the mirror and admit their own stupid actions and then take appropriate corrective actions. Take the damn inherited wig OFF! Not only does it make you LOOK stupid it actually reinforces to the OPPRESSOR that you are stupid! don’t hate your own kind for being honest to you simply Look in the MIRROR and THINK-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX that was planted on you as it is that BOX that is stifling you and you in turn stifling YOUR OWN kind.

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.

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.

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.

Ignorance and sheer human stupidity are the hallmarks of African history since interactions with europeans. One has to ask why has there been so many individuals selling their souls and working against their own kind in various ways. The list of negative collaboration to aid and abet the dehumanization, subjugation , sodomization, economic stagnation, under-development of those labelled as black is endless. From the early soul-selling individuals that operated as @agents@ for many clandestine organizations to assist in the slaughtering/sabotage of their own kind as seen in the cases of people such as Malcolm X, Lumumba, Nkrumah, Fred Hampton, Winnie Mandela, Gaddaffi, Saro-wiya, Walter Rodney, Derwin Brown, Rwanda genocide, Dadis Stadium Massacre and rape, and a host of other incidents. Thus, we have to ask where does this under-developed mindset of treating your own kind as valueless come from. Why allow your own forces to be TRAINED and brainwashed by foreign countries as they train them to only be effective in internal use as these same scum-bags and cowards can not stand up in competition to the very western countries that “TRAINED” them to be violent and weaponized them.

There are no “heros” here just Zero’s! So we must ask WHY do our people not invest time to develop their mental capabilities rather than negatively under-developing to the point of where they not only end up hating their own kind and doing violent harm to their own kind but also plunge Africa into a state of stagnated fermentation of decay?
