The issue of walking away from the U.N. is an isolationist move which will bear more ills than good. In the world we live in, we need more alliances than segregation. When a system is not working as expected it is better to work trying to change it from within. Every member of any team… Continue reading Africa and the UN – To Stay or To Leave II

Africa and the UN – To Stay or To Leave?
"We will fight a fight for our own identity, our own integrity and personality as Africans, We are Africans. If we decide, as we shall certainly do so one of these days, that down with the United Nations, ...we can't continue to be artificial members of it. If the United Nations is to survive, we… Continue reading Africa and the UN – To Stay or To Leave?
African Sheep are Wool-less, Nor Does It Snow in Africa
Well with the exception of parts of South Africa, the peaks of Kilimanjaro or the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. The point is the average African child knows not what snow or wool is.Mary had a little lamb, it’s fleece is white as snow…..a nursery rhyme every English speaking African child memorized was nothing but… Continue reading African Sheep are Wool-less, Nor Does It Snow in Africa
An African Union
A child in need, hurt and aching; calls out to her mother, longing for her touch, her comfort and her assurance. It is said that even dying men call out for their mothers. Africa, home of the black man, is that mother to people of African descent. They have suffered all forms of injustice, indignity,… Continue reading An African Union
Fueling Hate
One can make the argument that today, just like our foods; most of what we consume in terms of information is junk; highly processed (propagandized) cheap, unhealthy, easily accessible, sold by big names with long term fatal consequences for the consumer. Good healthy stuff, as in food is confined to certain outlets, hardly found on… Continue reading Fueling Hate

The people whose opinions matter when it comes to Africa's economies seem to disappear when tragedy strikes.For far too long, successive African governments have looked outside for approval in African affairs. Whenever tragedy hits other parts of the world, we see the… Continue reading Africa – The Side Note
The Awakening
And here I am addressing Africa's leaders and so called intellectuals. Africa's hope is in all her children, but you elevated yourselves to leadership statuses and are so swift in pointing out what should and what shouldn't be. You are apt in spotting everything that is wrong about Africa and the ways of the Africans,… Continue reading The Awakening
Chairman Mugabe
With his election as the new African Union chairman, he has been spared no insult. Most of those outraged by his election are totally ignorant about Mugabe, Zimbabwe, and the events that have, and are taking place in that country. Here is a man the West loves to hate, but it wasn’t always so. Mugabe… Continue reading Chairman Mugabe
African Intellectuals and the Masses
In earlier posts, I did allude to the fact that Africa’s slow move towards alleviating the sufferings of her people can be partly attributed to the intellectual class not living up to their role. That they are, to a large extent, tooting the horns of the imperialist west with their Eurocentric views while down playing… Continue reading African Intellectuals and the Masses
