MAMA
AFRICA
BY PAUL ALPHA MWANGI
I'm an African male, so proud of the
indigenous assent of my motherland. Born
and raised in Kenya, amongst the most
beautiful and resourceful countries in
Africa. With pride i have worn my skin, so
beautiful and black. Without a doubt you
can tell I've been accustomed to great
values and norms that have raised the
man I'm still growing to be. Well, i ain't
no rebel or a stray from honesty and
justice.
Mama Africa has made me proud and am
sound of the many great men and women
who fought for our independence and off
colony by the western world. Remarkably
they remain in our hearts for the selfless
acts to teach us the song of freedom. Like
Mandela,, he mentioned that true
freedom lies in enhancing and respecting
the deeply
freedom
of others.
I'm
troubled
by the pernicious
acts of the colonists to exploit we
Africans and deprive us of our wealth.
Great Men like Gaddafi maliciously
withdrawn for trying to free us off
enslavement because of the control
of our resources and needs.
Ideally because he who feeds you
controls you. The big question is, are
we Africans really needy? Is our
motherland so poor that we need
back to back depriving 'aids' from
unicef, red cross and the like just to
have them exploit our resources and
funds for selfish private gains? It's
about time we stop fooling ourselves
and liberate our minds.
It's literally disturbing to see how the
world views Africa from imagery taken in
dishonest intentions. I mean who would
point a state or country in the world
without people living in low standards, but
yet Africa is capitalized on outbreaks,
terror attacks and all the bad energy yet
killings in some states in America are way
higher in ratio. Black is literally so
beautiful and we do take care of our own
and thus in solidarity we need to control
what image we allow to be displayed
about us, let's own us. Just like the great
Nkuruma said, It is Clear that we must
find an African solution to our problems,
and this can only be found in African
unity. Divided we are weak;united Africa
could become one of the greatest forces
for good in the world.
No continent is richer than Africa in
resources yet we are termed poorest
nation by the same colonizers who have
always exploited us for gains. How would
thousands of units of our currencies be
equal to one of theirs whereas we have
the most gold reserves in the world?
Every single resource exists in Africa be it
prime, rare or easily acquired, we hold
the biggest reserves for raw materials,
yet a poor nation right? No wonder we
have some of our great leaders being
eliminated for looking to bring a
disruptive change for Mama Africa.
It's about time we define our own
freedom from the Structural Adjustment
Programs (SAD) by the IMF and world
bank and other fake fiat bank reserves
who give us loans and impose very high
taxation. They know we obviously derail
payments thus we ever in debts and this is
the highest form of malicious
exploitation. How i wish God /Allah
protected Gaddafi to join African leaders
to create The United Africa with our own
central bank reserve.
Like P. L. O Lumumba says, it's about
time Africa defined her freedom and i say
we deserve liberation. I admire and
uphold great leaders like my president
Uhuru Kenyatta, President Kagame,
Mugabe, Wangari Maathai for
environmental protection and alot more
who are pushing and standing with
Africans to develop, support, nourish and
enrich our ethnicities.
Africa is a blessed nation having great
business men like Akon pushing for the
same, liberation and sanity to the African
child. Luther King states that property is
indeed prime to serve life and thus has no
personal being, therefore its our due right
and responsibility to protecting the earth
which we step on.
It's high time Africa we believe in our
greatness and not let our creativity die.
To take it upon ourselves to exploit every
single seed our creator planted in us to
better our nation and ourselves. Black is
beautiful and you know it. You are bright
and very resourceful, you can tell by the
feeds about a company like Andela in
Nigeria by Zuckerberg. We are kind and
welcoming to share our resources, but we
should also ask for a share in theirs too.
Because in humanity we need each other
to progress. We should embrace our gifts
and be willing to take charge of Africa.
We could be black, but we ain't in the
dark.
From us is former 1st USA black
president Barack, born and partly raised
in my beautiful country who believed and
said that '' YES WE CAN! ''. From me is
strong will that even with our differences
in ethnicity as we come from different
ships, we ideally sail the same boat to
indisputable liberation.
