THE RAW NAKED TRUTH SERIES
WE ARE NOT POOR, WE ARE IMPOVERISHED
I Will Never Forget The English Definition Of A Verb. "A Verb Is An Action Word". Poor Is A Status. We Are Not Poor, We Are Impoverished. Our Condition Is An "Active" And Continuous Example Of A Verb.
Fri.June.14.2024 - Ubochi Nkwo
Can you possibly tell that this man is a DIAMOND miner?
Numerous actions of our competitors and dare I say enemy states that wish to continue our subjugation like the "Conquest" States of America, "Small" Britain and the entirety of the modern "Inhumane" Western energy saps who depend on us for both resources and consumerist consumption are actively sustained to ensure, enforce and maintain our poverty in mind, body and spirit.
Dumb as we are, laden with Riches in the lands of our fathers, we allow ourselves to be Impoverished. Our status is not the statutory condition of Africa but an acquired aftertaste of conquest, created by the colonial era and sustained by global institutions, with the complicity of the children we allow in our Government Houses, who do not have the capacity for revolution or even simple independent evolution.
When Africans talk about revolutions, I laugh because most times our concern is limited to the Puppet Governments in our countries while ignoring the global corporate order that enables then, much of which we aid with our daily purchases of foreign goods and services including this phone with which I am drafting this article and whatever you will read it on.
Would it shock you to know that Nestle dominates more of the African food mix but is not top 10 in America. That Citi Bank is not top 10 either and that H.P to an American is not a top quality computer brand but economy?
While most Africans aspire for Toyotas, Toyota, Ford and Volkswagen are merely entry level transportation in the American market that a mere MacDonalds worker can afford. Their waste lands on our shores packaged as Gold, and we accept it as so, our Gold is politically stolen through opaque contracts and moved off our shores as waste, to return as Petrol, sold to us as Gold.
We are not poor, we are Impoverished, poverty is being actively imposed on us by those who preach most about saving the earth. Their "Democracy" designed to propel into our seats of power, compromised devils that they can control with deals and weak tribalists or religious fanatics that will divide us on their own just to sit on our thrones.
It has never sustained the Mandelas, Azikiwes, Gadafis and other human, intelligent or rebellious minds whose actions can liberate us from the shackles of their sustained economic, social and spiritual invasions of the land of God.
RICHES
Note that rest of the world also includes other African countries.
Wealth is defined as the existence of an abundance of a thing.
Fiat money (Currency) is a measure of the "stored" wealth of a people, owing to earlier extractions of value from resources, abilities, trade, services or crime which now sit in "cash" reserves.
We are not cash rich, precisely because the global financial Architecture is designed to steal from us - This is an article for another day, when I can delve deep into the global theft that is the American Dollar and other Western "edict" currencies, that do not find their value in the creation of "any" values but rather in arbitrary contraptions like the acclaimed status as a global trade currency.
While we are not even rich, if measured in fiat cash,we are Nonetheless extremely wealthy, when measured in the weight of "real" value.
Africa retains 40% of the worlds Arable land and 60% of the worlds water resources, all to feed a population the size of China. This is an incredible share of resources, yet in our Impoverished minds we import food and need mechanical assistance to access fresh water because we Poison our own open air water reserves with fecal matter and modern material wastes including chemicals.
This is not African, it is not in our cultures to harm nature. This modern stupidity is an extraction of a strategy of dehumanization that has left us callous and unkempt, with little value for our eco-systems and future generations. In this guise we impoverish ourself through a furtherance in import dependency, both for foods and now the mechanical tools for the importation of water from underground boreholes. In cities where streams and rivers course through the landscape in undulating beauty, the waters are adversely polluted by human stupidity and spun into poision by a people who are confused about what it means to be wealthy.
This eco-terrorism and self-mutilation, it not accidental. It is strategically encourages by the corporate levers that sell us bottles water and canned foods. It is sustained by an abundant dissatisfaction with anything "local" and it is allowed a final nail on the coffin by ignorant leaders who are often derived of the "house help" variety of our people, C Rate in intelligence and independent abilities and therefore unable to proffer solutions beyond World Bank or United Nations recommendations, all organizations in which our say is limited to Yes Sir.
BLOOD
Yes, I know that's a picture of P. Diddy, Sean Combs, Puffy... and his son Christian KING Combs. Note: It is the FBI's job to try to kill his career not mine. The point here is simple - The Son of a King, earns a throne by blood and must protect it - this only if he knows who he is.
Wealth is in bloodlines and we are the seeds of Kings and experts on natural equilibrium. Our heritage is rich and when we recollect this history we are enriched by the knowledge.
The Son of a King, is a King and inheritance is wealth and the world is dramatically aware of our inheritance. It is clear that some of the most awe inspiring artifacts in British museums, Germany, France, Portugal and the rest of Europe are African memorials to our Royalty that were looted in colonial times under numerous disguises, while hiding a hidden agenda, the devaluation of our cultural heritage in order to belittle us. This is clear in the fact that 90% of the loot has never been displayed, ever and that at any given time only 1 in 1,000 of the items "stolen" from Africa, are on display and yet they will not return our property - Thieves.
3 generations later and like cattle, we no longer go near the fence. We have accepted our place as lesser beings and continue to bow to people we should lead. Yes, I just claimed superiority. The raw naked truth is that in the order of the world, we are the Elder brother, we are the Crown Prince, we are the Kings of the earth. However, if the Son of a King forgets his heritage, he may well serve as a guard in the Palace and may only be allowed at the gate.
until he knows his place and "fights" to claim it, he will have to manage his assignment.
Africa is sitting at the gate of a Palace owned by its ancestors and is content to run menial errands. We have been convinced that prior to the arrival of the European we were deficit and that it is their "civilization" that made us humane. This runs counter to reality, when you look clearly and see that their "humanity" is killing us and their "civilization" only made us the world's "civil" servants, who are now actively complicit in the sustainance of their revision of our original status into a new state - as impoverished peoples.
A true knowledge of our history and the foundational contributions of our ancestors to global civilization, technology, social world order and general humanist humanity, would run counter to their imposed narratives and free us to continued self actualization and the world does not want that.
GOD
Till date they house the best artifacts of our "Idol" worship in their museums and refuse to send us back our "evil".
Where is the wealth of a life more than in God? And they even took that.
History shows the African as a faith driven life, an entire society governed by a deep and eminent reverence for the divine. Beyond our borders, the European was one of the only true idol worshipping pagans until he stole Christianity from Christ via Roman conquest and in the time of King James further remodeled it into the greatest tool of conquest.
This is evident in the fact that wherever it found Islam, it did not insist on conversion, because the job of the missionary was not conversion but standardization and the Muslim was already systematic in a way they could understand and rule, unlike the traditionally African, who was too close to God to be directly managed.
The African in his native customs, was too close to God to assimilate to Europes nature destruction and God ignoring civilization. The attack on the African's Gods, was and remains an active way to remove the one thing that allows a man to live for anything higher than that which is presented to him, to envision directly and independently, aided by inspiration, a world in which the only master is God and the only limit is sacrifice.
Were we Africans to restore such thinking, we wouldn't need foreign engineers to build refineries for us and we may even build a world that does not need refineries.
Much of the world in which our ancestors lived was much more civilized than the world we now live in, especially as it related to social equilibrium, moral righteous and communion of man to man, man and nature and man with God.
Today we build air-conditioned temples that house hallow ambitions, grandiose selfishness and very little of the presence of God, less the fetish symbolisms with which they have replaced the effervescent power, native potency and attentive conspiring of our original Gods and orders of worship, whose results showed a society of people who needed no faith to accept the "evident" presence of their Gods, visible in the manifestations of all aspects of life.
EARTH
We now hold African weddings in fancy Dubai pools, man-made water works and devalue the wonderful landscapes like Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'the smoke that thunders' ironically known to the world by the European insult "Victoria Falls", how and when did she fell here, I don't know.
The Earth and Nature represents the greatest gifts of God and in it is encapsulated the most perfected natural bedding of human comfort, called in science "eco-systems".
The African eco-system has been raped and in the process rudely inseminated with the self deprecating pregnancy of alien thoughts and ideas that now sap the land of its values, the waters now stink and the air reeks of the foul smell of rotting life. What do I mean? My generation continues to think of the nonsensical crops Cassava and Rice as African foods.
Cassava is one of the worst uses of an acre of land due to its poor nutritional load, its tasking processing and the risks of poisoning that is occasioned by any mistakes midway. Yet the European who does not consume it in any notable volume, pushes it as a solution to African food deficiency, a deficiency we neither had prior to colonization and one which cannot be solved by the Cassava in taste, value, economic sensibility or efficient utility of land and water resources.
The Rice crop, a wonderful product of Asia, is a water sapping pest for much of the African continent. It is a drastic drain of resources, with ridiculous processing modalities, yet again it has been "branded" as the salvation for Africa and now drains our water, lands and labour while still failing to feed us. Why is this important? Because from Cassava to Rice, Banana, Broiler Chickens, these all represent the leading sources of nutrition in Africa today but were not mainstays in the 1600's a time before the Portuguese in which we nevet had any record of abject poverty, especially human hunger, that was not a factor of an Act of God.
These products replaced Yam, Cocoa Yam, Seasonal Mixed Fruits, Goats and roaming Poultry all naturally suited food alternatives, perfectly adjusted to our eco-system, nutritionally superior and a class of wealth that was organic and custom to Africa.
That wealth is now missing and we are now learning a new reality - Food poverty.
Our flowers are nameless while the Rose plays second fiddle to every story of romance. Our water ways are seem as a gloomy interruption to the land mass, while we aspire to live in Long Beach and the Isle of man. Our hills and mountains produce stories of ghosts, while we pay premiums for homes in Bevery's Hill. Madness!
Well, not really, branding.
Our earth a beautiful blessing of the Gods has been rendered insufficient by stories by moonlight on television, Film, YouTube and Neflix that now portray our gold as a misstep and their thorny Rose as Gold. A world sufficient, has been rendered paralyzed by our inability to see the strategic attempts by the Western overlords to kill our abilities to feed, tour, live and build at home.
If we were to clear our eyes, we would see that our nations are enabled with a tremendous set of natural blessings in food, scenic excellent and eco-systematic supports for life and pleasure that if explored will ensure that our people are fed, our hearts warmed and our world thrives on God's green earth, fully independent of anything and anyone other that us and the lands of our fathers.
with These immense and tailored resources, which we now reject in search of "branded" values and "stolen" lure, we should not be poor - but we are worse, we are impoverished.
FEAR
Everyday in Africa, some neighbour wakes up and decides that his neighbours are not human and are either to be avoided in fear or outrightly eliminated.
The European has seeded in us an unhealthy fear for each other. In fact, it is as if we trust everyone else but ourselves. Not just in international trade but in routine local business, in general partnership, in marriage, family and fatherhood we have bought a lie with the change they spared us, that "obodo adiro nma bu uru ndi Nze" (When the community is not well, and united, it benefits the chiefs). This and other nomenclature like "Izu ka nma na nneji" (Understanding is best between brothers of the same mother), are not ancient knowledge or even regular truths but rather articulate pregnancies of the rape of our cultures and heritage, designed to instill a fear of self. We have so many self defaming idioms, quotes and belief architectures that are not consonant with African cultural traditions and show the finger prints of the colonist's Attempts To Muddy Our Best Institutions With Mistrust And In Effect To Turn Us, Turncoat Inside Out In A Perpetual Battle With Self.
A house divided against itself cannot stand and therefore when wives are battling their husbands, sons their fathers, sister their brothers, towns their chieftains, there is no longer a need to try to contain their creative capacity, dumb down their intelligence or directly control them. By themselves they become a self combusting flame that never quenches and when they are in their trenches fighting each other you can sell both sides arms while mediating to be the middleman for all of their trading.
Commissions anyone?
The European has captured us by Liberating us to our worst fears and packaging himself as our sole point of fair arbitration. For this we use the Dollar in mutual trade, Send all of Africa's best Children to study at their Campuses, borrow legal and political systems, disown our Gods and in stupid rebellion against the lands and peoples of our fatherland, we seed that land to the IMF, Nestle, Blackrock, Google, UN and every other tall tale they present.
Today, the claimed children of Jesus Christ who claimed to have come for our salvation from hedonism, want us to be gays. Are you not entertained? Is this not a joke?
We abhor all things us and seek all things them and yet we have very little of what they have and they keep rebranding to keep us reaching for something we already had long before they came - Life, worth living, in Peace, Love And Brotherly Communion With Man, Nature And God, Fearing Nothing Since One was Assured Of Reincarnation. Now we are supposed to God to heaven yet we now suffer on earth because non of us is willing to die, to change this nightmare.
HATE
In 1994 Rwandans of the SAME tribe, found enough division to destroy themselves, in what cannot be called a Genocide but more so, crash stupidity and self-immolation.
Fear was not enough to take the Africans love for his Land, God and Brothers so they invested in self and group hatred. Tribes exist all over the world, in fact the European himself is made up of many tribes. However and in the case of Africa, they have fabricated a uniquely combustible version of tribal differentiation to the point that neighbors divided by a small and common stream will refuse to marry one another, name their children alike or even simply acknowledge the humanity of the other.
Beyond fear and cultural schisms, this is driven by hatred. Hatred the likes of which leads to the mess in Uganda, The Biafran War, the constant upheaval in Sudan, the borderline stupidity in the lack of co-operation between Ethiopia and Eritrea and the general disrespect for our languages, foods and cultures.
We hate ourselves, our tribes and everything African, not because anything is at all wrong with Africa, our tribes or ourselves but because an active and perpetual campaign is being waged to wedge us between the rock and hard place of fear and hate. These twin emotions do not allow creative self liberation because they hinder co-operation, the on thing that if engaged will allow us to share our common experiences in discourse long enough to show clearly that we have a common enemy.
Proper stories by moonlight will show that it is the same devil that sells us the guns, that also offer us loans, that also strips our raw materials, that also sells us finished good. It is the same devil that is now our God.
In serving the interest of Europeans we now bow to Allah or Christ but crucify "in hatred" any of our brothers who chooses otherwise, else or the other, this while both religions preach tolerance and both Mohammed and Christ were persecuted in their own lives by those who claimed to know God more than them, with one dying at the hands of the very same Europeans that now own his religion.
We engage all this hate when dealing with our brothers, All this while dealing with the European, in governance and trade regardless of his religion. Religious hatred, only applying to our brothers.
In serving the interest of the European we now name our children Philip and Mercedes but ostracize "in hatred" any of our brothers who as an Hausa Muslim names his children "Ifeanyichiukwu", this while we all know that naming after great men is accepted, and with most of us named after people we never met.
All this while naming Trump, Clinton, Hussein and a host of names whose meaning baffle like Linda,
Hate for cross cultural identity being limited to any ideals that may dare to unit us.
This loathing of self, neighbours, kin and kind, is not accidental. It is embedded into every story of a black devil, a black Maria, a black widow, a black plague, a black man, in short and those black "b*t*hes that mother them.
The very definition of evil has been strategically embedded in us for generations through books and films, college courses and religious intuitions such that if a black man was walking around in the night and saw his own shadow he would run to the nearest White man and ask him to help him call the police.
In fact we are so afraid of ourselves that we don't even believe in our own personal abilities to be good.
HUMANITY
What do we have to look like to deserve your love?
While they were judging us for killing twins the Europeans in Denmark burnt adults alive with hot water, lynched and burned young girls at the stake for being "witches" across the continent, purged intelligent members of society for alternate views, whipped out entire races like the Native Americans and engaged in the most beastly forms of human slavery and trade including the active dumping of 10% of our people as non compliant human cargo into the high seas and the breading of our brothers and sister with a level of inhuman animal impunity that would never be tolerated for thoroughbred horses.
These are not ancient history but activities that happened simultaneously with our colonization in the 1600-1800's and in the case of purges for claimed "communism" or other "Deplorable" ideology, as recent as this year. Even today, they blow the brains off of our brothers in America for simply waking up Black and start wars in other continents to contain percieved foes.
These are the people who lecture us on human rights and claim our "civilization".
What exactly is civil or human about the way we now live?
What was their gift to us?
Before them rape was an abomination and a rare feat to claim in any of our communities without meeting death by blow or incantation. Now our daughters marauder their own virginity in a quest to belong to some strange class I am yet to understand.
Before them our boys were men and knew honour and family. By the age of 20 a young man was fully grown and independent. Today we live with our parents at 35 and marry a 1st and only wife at 45, whom we will divorce or recieve a sack letter from before the age of 55, on both sides for reasons we cannot fully articulate in court called "irreconcilable differences".
Before now a father was a God and a son was eternal life. Now we compete with our fathers and they stifle our growth to tame us.
In the end the cycle of Africa became an inhumane experience even in the home, as we seek modern standards of life and education that give us professional training in irresponsibility and selfishness, plug us into a matrix and do absolutely nothing to give us a chance at basic common sense.
This is not our design. It is a reprogramming. It is an effective code edit that has turned some of the most hospitable people in the world, who used to eat from one large bowl and drink by sharing a Goard to a people who cannot even take Holy communion without a deep fear of who gets to touch the cup before them.
This redesign turned a people who could at anypoint go to their mothers ancestorial lands if in distress and be given support for life including land for farming and a place to build a home, into a people who cannot even have peace in the devolution of the inheritance of a rich father with massive wealth, this even when he has a will and was only married to one wife.
This redesign has turned us into fearful, hateful and lost people and the net effect of all this contortion, is a paramount lack of humanity, or dare I say a temporary loss of memory of how good a people we used to be.
In the absence of human kindness, we now eat our young and those who survive can care less about leaving alone our retirement. In a cycle of self effacing stupidity, we devour ourselves in service of foreign concepts and ideals that yield nothing but ever increasingly lower volumes of nothing. This in a continent filled with love, evident in how incredibly nature hugs us with abundance in everything, winding streams through every community, gifting every land with resources and ensuring that if only we got off the plane and tried tiling here, the yield of our hills, will rival their plains.
Selfishly and reduced in humanity, we have no value for ourselves nor our own and they want this, and we aid it. Often blind to the shackles that still bind one leg and holds back the progress of even the relatively free among us.
REDEMPTION
African freedom fighter Robert Gushungo Mugabe (Center), flanked (Left) on his 92nd birthday by his betrayer and present President of Zimbabwe.
If there is anything they hate about me, it's that I don't wear chains.
Keep the G-Wagon, when I can have a car made by Ofunwa fine, I can also gladly drive an Innoson and look forward to further progression of any home grown designs but I have nothing to prove that requires a BMW.
Keep the Pizzas and Shrimp Fried Rice, I have not figured out what is wrong with tasty Pounded Yam or Sweet Palm Wine that should make me leave the Oily Palm goodness of Red Oil for sugar as spice.
Don't mind me, let me make it simpler and leave the riddles.
I don't own shackles and neither should you.
If there are any ornaments of slavery or colonization in your life, saw it off, Africa can never be free, if it aids its own enslavement with the terrible contribution of personal complicity hidden in what we consume, how we identify, who we elevate, when we choose to fight and where we Prefer to live.
WHAT WE CONSUME: Africa should rid itself of the self styled purgatory of a consistent demand for foreign junk, even when ancient treasures lye beneath the soils we sells to buy American dreams.
We make music but no where in Africa are we producing the musical instruments that under pin music production. At our best weddings, even in the ones held in the compounds of Traditional rulers, we enable the foreign duplicity of values that require a White man's uniform for a Black mans wedding. When you dine in the homes of the best and wealthiest of our people, you can rarely get a taste of where they are from, as their chefs confuse your stomach with Michelin renditions of hot dog infused culinary confusions.
We have refused to train our children at Home yet expect them to return from education abroad with proper training. When they return, if they return, they come home as damaged goods, envious of their foreign friends and disgusted by the core things that bond us, how can things not fall apart, when the center no longer holds?
When we want to watch football, we leave the natural pleasure of a physical game in our front yard for the alien stupidity of watching European Leagues on Televisions. When we want to drive, somehow it is only the Germans and the Japanese that can build us a Car, yet we have more "Graduate Engineers" in Nigeria alone than all of Western Europe.
When we fall ill, we get on a plane, add hotel bills to medical bills in order to be treated in India and America, this when the best Doctors in the world are shipped off every day from our shores in a modern rendition of personal complicity in our own
enslaving. We get it wrong when we talk about consumption of imports as Clothing and Cars, our import dependency is in everything including sadly, Social activities, Spiritual leadership, Political alliances, Financial capital, Human ideology and worse still even when we get into manufacturing, we import Production materials derived from the base rocks and liquid raw materials that come from our own lands.
How can a people so dependent, ever be rich?
We must get back to the foundation right away, individually and collectively, forget the Premier League, follow the local leagues, with enough interest and capital they must get better, if you can buy a team and beat every one of the "stupid teams", I can assure you that the African spirit of competition alone is enough for them to shock you the next season.
Why should you have a White wedding and extend the cost of your marriage in order to buy a diamond ring, mined in Sierra Leone, processed in Germany and sold to you for 100times the amount they paid for our brothers to die mining it.
Instead take that additional money and have the most culturally elaborate traditional wedding ever. Your local musicians will be employed and they will improve, the village mama put will be employed and they will improve, the village economy will be boosted and much of our rural life as a whole will improve.
There is a chain reaction in what we consume that we fail to recognize and it has massive diminishing returns that continue to impale any progress with think we are making as individuals, with massive social erosions that make it hard to live here, even when you are wealthy.
Find all the ways to spend your money on the things that we have and their producers will have the capital to improve.
Don't think of it as sacrifice, think of it as common sense. The Cars you are importing add to the very Insecurity for which you now need an ever increasing volume of escorts to mitigate. The Foreign Films you are watching is adding to the inability of Nigerian producers to create the quality of movies that will add great joy to our lives. The Premier Leagues whose advertising value you Raise, Add To The Boredom You Now Face Because You Cannot Find Anything Worthwhile To Do, In Your Own Damned City.
HOW WE IDENTIFY: The strangeness I feel when I argue with Christians and Muslims about the fact that I am an Igbo man and as such do not have a religion is Weird. While I do not judge our peoples choices in religious identity, I find it terrible ridiculous that our own is in contest "and loosing".
Those whose religious identity are in fact the natural traditions of our own people, now form the aliens and outcasts in our society.
While we can consider religious critic a quasi sacrosanct topic and often avoid studying the net implications of this capitulation to Western and Middle Eastern religious identity, what about everything else?
In naming our children we now insist on a Western or Eastern "First" name, identifying pure Khosa children as Tom and vilifying those among us, who when Hausa, choose an Igbo name for their child.
Our "assumed" identity differences are so wide, that we pride ourselves in borrowing names from 10,000 miles away, when absolutely gorgeous names exist in our backyard. In fact even our own native names, in our language, has become a bore and we now assume names, whose meanings we have absolutely no idea and are sometimes insults to the true identity of the children that ignorantly bear them.
In fact, in business, rather than name our life's sweat a meaningful thing like Ekenedilichukwu Motors we call then Aston Ville, Manchester, Oaklands and all manner of alien nomenclature that have no commensurate value in economic revaluations of our business as they have diminishing and insulting implications for our life's work, its meaning and inspirational value for the children we are ceding those investments to.
Nothing makes me prouder that when I fly on Airpeace and see the Nigerians names pasted on the planes or when I ride a car called the Innoson Ikenga, yet I wish that the Airline was named Onyema Air and the car company bore the exquisitely wonderful name of its founder "Ifediaso".
Even in our teaching, we borrow books and even quotes, as if our ancestors long gone and even the recent ones with British educational laurels are devoid of poetry or any experiences in life worth gleaming.
How can a people so impaled in their view of the man in the mirror ever aspire? Or derive sufficient inspiration from the experiences of their people to innovate a new world order.
You cannot compete with the Chinese in innovation, when they look at their peoples experiences for inspiration and you look at their inventions for mere "ideas", neither can you ever be "Chinese" enough to build on inspirations gleamed from the lives of their own people.
Look around, we have problems here that only you can truly understand and in love liberate yourself from the shackles of "copy copy".
Start with what you call yourself and name your children, pets and homes. and if you can, look deeper and see if it is really God you are worshipping or if this is just and extension of your colonization, accidents or submissions of our ancestors As They Lost Battles To Their Colonizers And Enslavers, Which You Now Wear With Pride And Attempt To Rebrand As Organic, Real And The Only Way.
Don't be offended, the name of this article Series is "The Raw Naked Truth", were you expecting it to wear clothes when speaking of religion?
You cannot identify as a natural second class and expect to think and act in the manners befitting, that will allow you to build a 1st class society.
In religion, tribal divisions, political, social, economic and personal identity, we have accepted a place as the 3rd world and so shall it be, until we reject the vestiges of this mental poverty, starting with the names we answer, the stereotypes we accept and the way in which we see the man in the mirror, view the man that is neighbour and yield to the one we call God, or shall I say ensure that the vehicle via which we get to God is not rigged to breakdown in the middle of any prayers that seeks our liberation.
WHO WE ELEVATE: Can it be true that the President of Nigeria is a man whose genuine identity cannot be authoritatively verified? That Zimbabwe is run by a man who openly stabbed his predecessor in the back? That South Africa is run by a man who is not strong enough to give safe passage to an allie but has the strength to thwart a contest with his judicially "maligned" predecessor?
Is it true that we elect Church leaders and Imams who cannot defend their heritage in the work and kingdom of God but have in fact bought religious stools in political contest? Is it the fault of the leaders of our society, that we allow frauds to be called by names they did not earn? Or that we allow our ancient Kingdoms to be basterdly gutted in the quest for national cake by Governors who do not have a legitimate mandate, even to their temporary political stools?
If someone kills your father and assumes his place why would you willingly call him father?
Elections run by professors, whose results can not be clearly defended after 1 year, is not a fault of the professors, it is us, who still accept to call them such regal names, that are to blame.
There is a saying that "A people, deserve their leaders" and it may be apt to use because we are in many measures, no better than the people that rule us.
One of the greatest delays I have in deploying my agenda, is the paucity of genuine Nigerians who truly care about the lot of others. You can always find "professors of good conscience but in action, we are all just focused on our own welfare.
This must change, you must begin to disregard and were possible even insult, obstruct and rebuke any tyrants who come to use via state capture and still insist that we call him names that belong to democratic leaders.
Professors who are not professional should be a reason for you to withdraw your children from their schools and truth be told, even Public Insititutions with national subvention cannot afford to loose the bulk of their students.
Protests are not only when we go to the street. Let all the Children in the government House both Federal, State, Security, or just a Regional Pastor in your Church know with a simple turn of your back everytime their car passes, that if everyone else is bait - you, are not fooled.
When our elevation of people, no longer go with the office but with the performance, no one will dare a second term who did not perform because what at first starts as a turn of the back will gradually morphe into a standardization of acceptability, such that the air in Africa learns that it should not be friendly to the nose of any ill gotten ruler.
WHEN WE CHOOSE TO FIGHT: I have had more fights with family member since my return to Nigeria, that I have had run ins with thieves. Why? Because it is easy.
We fight when its easy to make ourselves feel better about all of the time we fail to fight because it is hard.
Imagine the madness of accepting a stolen election, A massacre, A lynching and all the other bafoonery we tolerate like a lack of simple electricity, common water and a simple route to marry, when there is love and enough money to eat.
We must learn to fight in our individual lives for the things that are worth it, when the fight comes and not to transfer aggression against a bad State of curropt and alien governance on the very brother in Arms, we need for our Redemption.
WHERE WE CHOSE TO LIVE: germany, Japan, China, Russia, what do they have in common? Their best stay at home.
For as long as we feel this need to breathe smog air in foriegn countries instead of developing the rural country sides that we come from, we will continue to be immigrants and in all of recorded history, Kings don't immigrate.
Immigration in Africa happens at all tiers, with both our bottom and our middle leaving in desperation and even our top, keeping incredible amounts of wealth and time in foreign capitals for yields on investments that are ridiculously lower than is available at home.
In fact, often an African makes the wealth in Africa, then liquidates it to retire abroad. Madness.
How can such a universal abandonment of a sail both not end in a ship wreak.
The best of us, you and I must commit to staying on board, if Africa is to stay afloat. We must stay and go to war against the waves of Hate, Fear, Dependencies, Stolen Heritage etc., and recover by presence and the elimination of the easy options of escape, an Africa build on the restoration of our ideal, pre-colonisation and the evolution of our modern expressions into a uniquely African experience, founded on the rock of our identity as the owners of (Ani Chukwu) "The Land of God".
