From North to South, Africans have very much in common. In the course of investigating history for my book “Lost In Democracy”, I stumbled onto several scientific writings, which made very bold claims that sought to impress upon the reasoning mind that ancient Egyptians with their civilization and richness in culture and political tradition, were not Africans. After all, Africa excels only in primitivity and mental inferiority.

Thank goodness, though, there are many other racial-equality scientists, who have also been challenging this notion with verifiable and empirical scientific facts. Unfortunately, however, we, as Africans, hardly help issues. We commit ourselves to emptiness with strength and vigor, glorify invisible forces and powers and deceive ourselves that faith can move mountains while the rest of the world moves mountains with the power and forces of the brain. We commit ourselves to crimes, where others work hard to earn to earn a living. Statistical crime rate is almost always highest amongst blacks and people of African origin wherever there are blacks and people of African origin. Of course, there are and will always be plausible explanations for this deplorable situation, often based on marginalization and historical oppression.

Putting all that aside, it will be safe to highlight that the African continent, from North to South, has lived through centuries of shared identities and common values. In spite of the highly organized administrative structure of ancient Egypt, the indigenous folks were not only black (irrespective of variations in physiognomy and other physical features) but shared very much in common with the rest of Africa.

The system of government was absolute monarchy and the Pharaoh was a god-King. What was known as Pharaoh in Egypt was not known as Oba elsewhere. They all kept slaves, conquered territories and performed human sacrifices in the commonly shared belief in the supernatural.

With the coming of western civilization, however, traditions were transformed across the board. Under the guise of redemption from primitivity, the lifestyle of the African was overturned completely. From political systems to education, from dressing patterns to feeding patterns, from family values to social interaction, from language to religion, Africa has been overturned completely. Every vein that flows through Africa, every air that the Africans breath have been systematically westernized on the understanding that primitivity was making way for a better life.

In all of these, Africa has never felt at home with the political system that the West imposed. Every desperate attempt to practice democracy in Africa has always been as artificial as the conman exploitation of western religion. Yet in election times, politicians throng to the palaces of traditional kings and natural rulers, who no longer hold political powers. They seek to get pronouncements from these traditional rulers, whose words are often more respected that the laws passed by the western-style legislative organs. It is not for nothing that traditional rulers in Africa are called “Natural Rulers”. Yet, they play no role in their continent.

Africa has intellectuals en masse. Harvard-trained, Oxford-trained, London-trained, New York-trained etc. but they never interact with the Lagos-trained, the Lusaka-trained or the Maputo-trained. Where is the indigenous African Think-tank to provide theoretical guidance to African politicians?

The political system does not work. It is misused for personal enrichment. Religious systems do not work. They are misused to enrich eloquent preachermen. The educational system does not work. It produces abundant educated illiterates in voluntary captivity.

The completely stupefied African folks do not seem to have had enough to stand up and fight to cleanse the system for the generations ahead. They do not stand up to wipe off the corrupt elite. They do not stand up to wipe out thieving pastors and con-artists

When Africans stand up to fight, guess what they fight for. They fight for secession and call it self-determination. Whenever they succeed, the same old problem starts from square one. The corrupt elite. The non-functional and artificial DEMOCRACY. The tricky eloquent preachers, with high-end properties.

Is Africa cursed? Is there a solution?

Read my new book LOST IN DEMOCRACY. Read my journey through memory lane in the sampled history of African regions and the good and bad sides of western colonization. Read my proposal for a workable system of government that may take Africa forward. Join the debate.

they lack understanding

Nice question
wish to know too

Maybe because they were put together by foreign groups wanting and still wanting to exploit them. Unity is not by force

Op is a slowpoke and is violently spewing misinformation. You know good and well that any and all attempts by African leaders to uplift their people at the detriment of global white supremacy have been met with sanctions, coups, death and/or just about any and all other forms of sabotage.

because they were forcefully merge.

because they are called africans!

because most African countries were forcefully joined together by the colonial masters for their selfish purposes and not by the consent of the Africans.

[size=14pt]Ok let Africa go and merge Russia, Germany, China, Japan, France, England, Italy, Spain etc together by force and let's find out if they can be united.[/size]

Africa continent has more number of different tribes than any other. That aside, I think for Africa to prosper and for peace to reign each indigenous group should be allowed and encourage to governor themselves. Even if we end up to 2000 plus countries as long as they prosper and are peaceful not these "beaten together" countries which are products of British convience

Because Africans never treat each other like human beings

Its not Africa OP
It's nature
Read the Europeans history and Asia with Americans
Even you OP wanted to run away from your parent then abi na lie

Febup:

God bless
OP did not know how many wars between German and Russia because of freedom
German and Britain
Everybody needs freedom
US will one day divide too
Very soon just like USSR, German Empire, Russia Empire, Oyo Empire e.t.c

Thank you bro. I will add Russia to my list

Greed, jealousy, ethnicity, and Religious beliefs are major factors leading to this. it can only be conquered by Love.
in Onyeka voice- One love keep us together.

This topic wouldn't have been necessary if the colonialists of African countries allowed them to remain the way they were before they came.

Some people are like oil and water, they can never stay together no matter how hard you try to force them. Nigeria is a case study.

this is a front page material but still it's not featured

Its because Africans are wicked and selfish, e.g take Nigeria for example if they allow Nigeria especially north they were not ready to give the Niger delta 10percent of oil revenue or even 1, if u protest you are wasting your time as far as the oil spills does not affect them and they re still receiving d billions of dollars worth of oil revenue they are ok with that.
Instead of them to do the right thing they wud wait until it causes problem dat leads to loss of lives thats when they try to consider.

Look at the southeast it has zero federal presence and other Nigerians think it is ok, because after all their region has federal presence so why shud they border theirselves, instead of everybody to advocate for the right thing to be done they prefer to act wicked and blind until it leads to a big problem.

The only peaceful African countries are not those merged by colonialists like Devil lugard. They are those that willingly came together to form a bond. Tanzania is made up of Tangayika and Zanzibar island, 2 regions seperated by the India ocean but united by blood. Have you ever heard about Tangayika fight Zanzibar and vice versa?

In nigeria, one dirty numbskull that I don't know from Adam will crawl out from his brown roof in Oshogbo and come to do 'by force unity' with me because lugard the whiskey-drinking sailor said so.
Whenever he hears 'Biafra' he throws away his brain and start convulsing like a cursed epileptic. Reason am na.

Exactly, another example is Botswana, the whisky drinking id1ots did not find any thing worthwhile, so they left the country untouched, then the Botswanans decided to organize themselves and make the best out of the situation, but God blessed them with diamonds and the rest is history, when was the last time you heard anything bad about Botswana? but she is a very progressive country.
