The mis-education has caused us some mental paralysis.
We have not taken a journey to read well researched unbiased African history.
We learn and pick distorted , lies, and deceptive history that has been written to undermine our own ancestors and history.
We are so weak mentally that we keep regurgitating spewing the same toxic and lies that have been written by White racists historians which is available material of study available in our school system..
If We do not dig ourselves out of that ignorance, we will suffer mental degradation perpetually and will never wake to know the rich history of our ancestors who brought civilisation to the whole world while Europe was in darkness.
Today every African dream is to migrate to Europe or western cities in search of greener pastures.
In the short-term material benefits draw away professional people from badly managed economies of Africa to ‘better’ managed economies of America, Australia, Britain, Canada, Europe and New Zealand, etc.etc.
That trend works well for Western plans as in the long-term the peoples of Africa will continue to be ‘badly’ managed as the best brains will continue to be drained away from Africa.
In the long-term Africa continues to suffer in that those taken away from Africa will have their offsprings culturally alienated from their indigenous cultural heritages of indigenous languages and social values and cultural beliefs, the phenomena necessary for the formation of strong national and cultural identities of the indigenous communities.
Without indigenous languages of their own the chances of evolving indigenous ideologies among the peoples of Africa are greatly reduced.
Now without indigenous ideologies, the peoples of Africa are bound to remain as they have been for the last millenia, i e. living in a world defined by others for them.
People need to define their world for them to be reckoned with by other people.
The peoples of Africa need to define their world.
Unfortunately that cannot be done under the same legal order of Rome and its variants of American, British, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish Laws under some people of Africa were enslaved and nearly all of its people were colonised.
The peoples of Africa can only have a hope of attaining genuine freedom when they live under indigenous ideologies derived from their social values and cultural beliefs from indigenous philosophies.
Africans should learn from their past history and develop their own systems for meaningful development to be attained…
