Africa against itself
- World affairs
- The world against Africa.
- Africa has grown into a state of losing balance and the knowledge of government. The mistakes this foreigners made was that they didn't leave behind leaders that they had trained them into understanding their own pattern of government. During colonialism, the whites had learnt every single pattern of our government and still used that same pattern of government to rule us with was called the "indirect rule system of government". In Africa I have seen that it is impossible to coordinate back ourselves back to how we were before the intervention of the western world. Africa's culture had their own pattern of ruling which favored them , like what they called the centralized and decentralized states. Even the Westerners could not use democracy as a system of government in Africa.
- Look back when Africa was under the system of using the centralized and decentralized type of government everything was perfect. The only reason why colonialism came into Africa was to Exploit us. The Americans, the Europeans and you would notice that this same thing happened to the Asians, they were also exploited but for their capacity to be united to work together that is why they are still successful and still rapidly improving for the ones who had the opportunity to exploit the knowledge of the westerners have made it possible to apply the same knowledge and understanding to their way of life. One thing you have to understand about the blacks is that we are very ignorant about the choices we make for we have no time to use our knowledge and this was caused by the foreigners who made room for us to accumulate so much wealth. It is never a lie that a black man can never be rich as a white man in the world. Do you think it can ever happen. Africa had the power to feed the world. If the European really wanted to help the Africans they would leave the responsibility of making sure Africa provides such means. But instead they have made themselves so independent leaving Africa unable to manage ourselves. Look back at Africa when Mali had the richest man now look at Mali one of the poorest countries in Africa. The foreigners were really jealous with how they saw Africa so independent and prosperous. That why they brought their mentality to have the opportunity to exploit us.
- They have even taken the best individuals that are constantly thinking of improving their environment to enhance and put them first.
- - [ ] The foreigners problem is that they want to be above and this cause greed to come into the big picture leaving the Africans in a state of been very ignorant about what is happening in the world to become influenced by the culture of the western world. I understand that the western culture has had much impact on our life's that is why we are so obliged to look like ow when you are not them. I want to make this clear that you cannot depend on the foreign knowledge for you are an African pure black.
- Agriculture has been taking from us. If agriculture can be left to the Africans to feed the world. That's the only way African can become better and wipe out all the problems we have.
- Even entertainment has been taking. What else would be left for us nothing.
- Ask yourself this question where is all the wealth Africa had before the intervention of the western culture.
- You would say war took everything but who took possession of everything. No one knows .
- It is said that history holds the truth.
- Where are the African historians?

7 年Broz. Buhari Adulrasak Bernard, your article is interesting to read. Having lived through most of the '50's through mid '70's in Nigeria as a child I saw Nigeria blossoming and Shining like a Black Diamond on African skyline as a Giant Beckon of Hope To All Africans and the World alike. Independence in 1960 was The Crowning moment to the admiration and acceptance of Our Beloved Country Nigeria into the community of Independent Countries with Open Arms. There was Law and Order; as The Police Force were made of two divisions namely, regular Police and Mobile Police. Both divisions of our Police Force were very well respected in then Nigeria and they enforced the Law with Human Dignity and Respect for Our Citizens. The Army were very rarely seen on the streets of Nigeria except during Regional, National or International event the warrants their presence. "Life was Fantastic and every Nigerian Citizen was patriotic, in those Great Old Days". Then came the '70's when oil exploration led to oil exploitation. The filthy smell of fresh Crude oil Money inspired Young brave Military Officers to plan and successfully execute series of Military Coupes which drove Nigerian Intellectuals into self exile but some of Our highly learned Citizens lives were recklessly wasted by the Military regime. Families dissuaded their members from advocating for Civil and Human Rights. Thanks to Fela Kuti who was an Icon for Our Future, he live the way he died to uplift Nigeria and Nigerians; Africa and Africans. His musical activism emboldened Nigerian Entertainers to take the lead and point out the gross disparities within our leadership circle and the Citizens. Fela, Sunny Okosun, Prince Sunny Ade and other Musicians fought Apartheid in South Africa and Zimbabwe through their music. Unchecked GREED led to Nigerian leaders strategically vacuuming Our Wealthy Treasury and depositing their loots with their Western Bosses until Guilt Equity fever caught with the Western accessories and collaborators to the Nigerian Treasury looting crime in the mid 2000. I sincerely believe that Independence was a "Double Edge Sword" that destroyed Nigeria and other African Colonies because Independence did usher in fresh air with rising hope to the people because Nigerians did advocate for self rule and that was exactly what we got. Our Devilishly Greedy non leaders, severely Mortgaged three and quarter (31/4) Decades of Nigeria and Nigerians Future. Nigerian leadership cabal is the Albatross hanging tightly on Nigeria and Nigerians neck. It is very, very unfortunate. We as The People MUST as a matter of urgency start an intense soul searching for lasting solution for our choice of LEADERS. The saying "You get what you paid for" is always true so We Must properly Elect Our Leaders in 2019. Non of the existing Political Parties have the Conscience to Govern Nigeria through a fair and clean election process. Nigeria will Rise Again when "We The Nigerian People" learn to Do Away with Political Parties Selecting a Dead head individual and imposing such on the Will of The People. Lastly, Unchecked GREED and "SELECTONEERING" (emphasis mine) is the Crux of The Matter hindering Nigeria from achieving Her Naturally Endowed potential. It is NOT the fault of Colonial Masters; that Nigerian leaders Destroyed Nigeria. I. b
