THE PAINS AND PRIVILEDGES ENDOWED TO AFRICA.

I have grown up an African and it is beyond any doubt that definitely by the time My God comes for establishment of another beautiful kingdom in a new paradise, an African I will. I have never doubted the fact that as an African I have the capability of achieving anything anywhere. From Socio-economic success, Academic breakthrough to attainment of a politically informed successful reign are all ambitions I have never been challenged why as an African I can't see them come true.

However, it comes to a point where stagnation starts. An enabling environment. From so many statutes to which as a people we stand signatories to MoUs our leaders get us into, most of them do not, if at all any, help us get to where our fore fathers dreamt us to be 5 decades after independence. It is in Africa where Polio was pandemic and trials for vaccine as well as drugs done. It is same Africa where cholera was a menace before it was combated.

Africa has been a destination of relief foods, drugs, weapons, military personnel and many more donations. Just in a bid to establish a stable, calm Africa. From HIV outbreaks, to Malaria, to HIV again to Ebola to hunger, problem after the other. All befalling Africa. Why Africa??
Our people let's ask,

Why Africa?

In forums such as Young African Leaders Initiative Network​ you will read and hear of sweet dreams and ambitions our people hold dear. But when shall they be realized?
I ask When? Africa, endowed with beautiful culture, plenty vegetation, colorful climate, fertile soils and many more is the same home of troubles, disasters, wars and all forms of atrocities meted both to innocent and guilty.
Africa, when shall we learn this which we have missed most.
Africa. I pride myself as Africa, But it pains me to do nothing in Liberating My Africa.

Let us rise Africa!

The African Sacarcism. Unity our Key to prosperity.....

Sometimes one may be tempted to sit down and wonder, “Why a black people in the word?”

Africa prides itself as a home of vast human history starting all from the magical evolution to beautiful wild life. Africa as a continent hosts hosts beautiful homesteads, attractive creatures, good scented flowers and birds.

But one thing, kills the African success story and zeal. The thing is Lack of identity. Our former Pan Africanists all from:

• Muammar Ghaddhaffi.
• Kwame Nkuruma.
• Nelson Mandela.
• Tom Mboya​ e.t.c

Just to name few, all shared one common dream for African people. A story of success. Traverse from the rich Nigerian soil all to the beautiful Kenya, From the drylands of Egypt to fertile South Africa you will love Africa.

But where did we go wrong?

As a people with a common origin we have lost in defining a common destiny that we share. We wander and stumble in the thickets like lost camels which I find even more better because they can never miss to get back home.

We in Africa we have risen to kill our own spirit that is necessary to overcome the question of poverty. Selfish desires, Chauvinism, Greed, political intolerance among many other are just but few of the many challenges that have culminated to the all known problems facing an African person. Political wars in Nigeria, threats of ceasation and rise extremist terrorist groups are ll killing African spirit.

The coordination of bringing down stable governments, killing of citizens based on their religious faiths and tribal affiliations is all killing an African person.

Back home still, judicial injustices, uneven distribution of resources and social discrimination are all problems we must tackle. These contribute to each other and culminate to a common problem whose solution is just unity.

As a people let us rise. It is all unity that is needed. Unity of our people. Unity of us people.

All forums from Young African Leaders Initiative Network​ to pages such as True African Art.com​ all tell you of African beauty.

It pains to hear Good Luck Jonathan call for American intervention to curb Boko Haram. It is so sad to Hear Somalia ask for American help to restore Somali economy.
It pains.
Let us Rise Africa.
It is our time.
It is in African Spirit I write this.
