FAIRLY STATED FOR THE FAIR!
I have, with all sense of respect admired the social evolutionary cohesion of White People.
Their value systems is a System on its own!
They have managed to build from a complex situation a stable, and developed societies: very green; very white; and very very up to date on human desires and palpable dreams!
So said, if accepted, it means that most of the inventions, as well as economic innovations which make life better and easier, comes from them, the white people!
Although, the templates for innovative growth are open and out there for the white and black...and mankind to explore. Yet the African find it difficult to navigate or replicate even the all glaring scientific wonders of the earth!
There is nothing wrong with us! Genetically speaking, I know. But....or, perhaps our social evolution is still several steps behind time and mentality lines!
We seem to be in the 15th or even the 12th century!
We are still building canoes while our White neighbor is living on Cruisers!
We are still flying Kites, and our next door friend is watching us from drones!
We are fighting over land borders while the whites are drawing the map of our space and placing us where to stray and graze!
The gap between other innovative minds of the world are embarrassingly wide from Alkebulan(Africa)!
The (only) reasons I could aduce for our weak minds are Tribalism!; lack of all inclusive citizenship!; and non existing purpose-driven leadership!; and, religiosity based on bigotry!; All these and more are against our mutual interests and innovation growth!
We end up saying 'Its well'!
'God dey'!
Or, run about with the latest effusive chant in Nigeria,
'what God cannot do does not exist'!
We are so weak in taking a stand on progressive applications, so much so that we sow seeds of a better tomorrow in superstitions!
As I write I cannot count the number of ongoing wars in Africa!
From Sudan to Congo.....Burkina Faso....Mali.... Insurgency in Nigeria.....Chad....Cameroun.....xenophobia in South Africa....!
Tribalism and ethnic divide our present plague, are a dangerous mix placed on the headstone of our foundation!
The tension is burning to explode!
Meanwhile, in Switzerland, where there are three major ethnic groups, the Swiss have built a stable society that works for all! These are based on tolerance, concession, and a long-term view of stability.
The same is true of Belgium, home to the Flemish and French.
Were they in Africa, they would be like the Congo, forever at each other’s throats, with a narrow definition of identity and unable to harness their complexity for growth and development.
We need to come out of this coma.....or resurect from these cemetery!
Do I need to say more!
It's high time Africa rise up and face it's challenges squarely.
