Very insightful reasoning but let me ask you a question.
Could it be that African leaders and Africa in general are yet to define the form of leadership that best suits the people.?
Could it be that democracy is a wrong system of governance for Africa?

MONITZ:




I think the answer to ur question is a big YES.

by then there is nowhere in the world is freedom easily given esp by the oppressor, the oppressed has to fight to get it.The whites also know that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and so over time they ve been able to come up with ideas and means of checking government excesses.

I think the Americans ve wat they call the 2nd Amendment which grants them the right to bear and keep arms and must not be infringed upon.

In some countries, once a citizen gets to the age of 18,he is made to undergo some compulsory military trainings and drills, he is even taught how to handle military rifles and the rest,so that wen they re in a state of war, he could be called upon as a reservist.

Now with these two examples that I ve given,if it is time for u to quit office as a president,would u still want u to seat tight? Wen u know that majority of the population can handle big military stuffs, u won't want to risk it and engage in any shenanigan of seating tight. A civilised man in a civilised settings would do anything to protect his family and freedom.


Most African countries don't ve these kinds of schemes, even the N. Y. S. C sef na sham, they won't teach u the proper military drills because the leaders know they re evil.They know that a gun in the hands of a man is raw power..

Methinks every country needs to check wat system is best for her,i know the indirect and age grade systems worked well in the north and east respectively.Likewise the iron fist rule for Arabs. So democracy is alien to us and we don't seem to want to adapt to it in a hurry..

MONITZ:
@panafrican, a lot of people either don't know wat actually led to Gbagbo's fall or re just too numb to want to admit.

The whites re always quick to pull down any African leader who refuses to be used. If u take a look at how Thomas Sankara was killed by his treacherous friend in the person of Blaise Composite, u will see the hands of France all over the plot.They were not comfortable with his policy of emancipating his country.

The funny thing is that Sankara was the only military president in the whole of Africa then that the Abami Eda (FELA) liked despite his hatred for military governments prolly because of his approach to governance and his pro-masses policies.

As long as u re on the seat and u do the bidding of the colonial masters then there will be no problem bt the moment u try to deviate,u become marked.The French re even more guilty in this regard.

Ask yourself why the Eyadema's dynasty still exists till date without a whimper of protest from France.

Also take ur mind back to wat played out in Zimbabwe some years back with regards to white farmers and the large hectares of land they owned. because of this they re waiting to drag Mugabe before the I. C. C and he has already told them that he would rather die on the seat than see his ass taken before any court @ the Hague...

I am still watching to see how this Gambia's imbroglio pans out because this man(Yaya Jameh) is no longer a signatory to the I. C. C Act,a court which they feel only African leaders deserve to be taken....As far as I am concerned, Bush and Blair more than deserve to be hauled before the court too,no animal farm treatment should be welcomed...

We can find a way to get the best form of government if the masses can rise up and fight for freedom. But that is more of talk to us. Because we are enmeshed in fear and slave mentality

ourema:

Do you think that the new crop of President in sub Sahara Africa are doing enough in transforming African leadership. A recent example of Ghana and Nigeria were the incumbent called the opposition to congratulate the winner of the election. Is this a way forward for the continent?

sirfee:
Lol tell me which race would you prefer or choose.

ourema:

Any race other than black African

sirfee:
Hmmm!do you prefer to be a mongoloid?Please I'm not discriminating.

ourema:

Mongoloid countries are they not better than Nigeria

sirfee:
Not all,do you want Bangladesh?

ourema:

At least we import rice from Bangladesh

ourema:

The likes of GEJ and now in Ghana where the incumbent called the opposition to congratulate him on the election victory?

MONITZ:



Yeah, they re trying bt the problem always is sustaining it..
