Wake up Africans for Africa


  1. Pan Africanism the way forward for the black people and Africa continent in particular.Sorry if I may sound racist here but deep down in my heart i believe that its through the pan Africanist movement that Africa and the black people can be redeemed.
    And in order to achieve this a few realities have to be reached.

    First we have to stop blaming those who participated in the slave trade that saw many of our colleagues shipped into the new world. And start to look for ways on how we can base on that(slave trade) to bring Africa out.Because to be real,if slave trade was to be brought back,many of us would willingly board those ships and planes and run away from this continent as far as possible,provided that place were we go would guarantee a basic meal everyday.

    How can we archieve this??
    The only visible way is to get the Africans in the diaspora to believe and realize that they can play a big role in building democracy,economy,politics and the society here.And by the diaspora i firmly include even those that are not originally from Africa but happen to be were they are(not Africa),because of vices like the slave trade.These are people who can move the continent real fast and steady because,not only are they educated,they also earn more out there money that can be used to move humaniterean projects here.

    I mean,take a look at what our brothers in both the movie and music industries in the west spend?People like puff Daddy,Mase,Snoop Doggy, Jay-Z,to mention but a few.These are people who spend lots and lots of millions of dollars on mostly keeping in the lime light.True this is their hard earned money,but believe that its time someone told them or atleast sensitized them about their motherland Africa.Its a pity that some of them don’t even want to associate with the continent,but i know with more effort made to bring Africa closer to them,a change of heart can be expected in the long run.After all those chunks of property in form of land that they desire to have in America,can be bought for far less money than they spend out there here.

    I get amazed and surprised to hear generous and kind people like Madonna,Nicole Kidman who dont even have any blod here,adopting children from the African continent yet we also have brothers and sister who are actually descendants of the continent who don’t have any heart for it.Where are the likes of Will Smith,Haile Berry,Angella Basset,Mary.J.Blige and others in this adoption salvation for African orphans???May be the media has not talked about them but they have done it.If so I rescind my anger.But surely it’s the people of African descent that can help save this continent endowed with everything apart from education and financial capital,from the state it is in.I mean,if we had the money,we would not play to the tunes of opportunists who come take our oil,purify it from wherever,and bring back peanuts here inform of grants.The diamond can surely be purified and branded here other than taking it to refineries somewhere else yet the real thing is dug from here.The gold in former Zaire is being shipped to other countries as if those industries cant be built in the Congo itself.Come on …Africans we can take our motherland to the next level without inviting another opportunist like China to come and pretend to help.We have been thru that during the colonial era.And from what i see we are falling for the same mistakes commited long ago.Why sell our resources to people who don’t want to see us compete with them?
    And to be sincere i don’t blame any of them.A simple saying goes that:”Let sleeping dogs lie”.Until when we African especially those that are economically,ok and well educated wake up to move Africa,soon we will have people from another planet come also to tap this wealth that we have but continue to plead for peanuts from others inform of loans,grants and donations which will take us a very long time to pay back.Its time Africa thought of how to loan to others as well.And like Marcus Garvey,George Padmore and others envisaged,its only thru Pan Africanism that we can counter this.

    Very many African are living lavishly and spend a lot in western capital,yet poverty,corruption,disease tribalism,wars name it,are killing off their next of kin.

    WAKE UP AFRICANS WAKE UP FOR AFRICA.
