What The Legendary Fela Kuti Wished We Knew About Of The World Economy, UN, Africa & The Future. (Volume 1)

through this brief expository piece, I wish we can all go get a track of The Legendary USA Madonna Frozen track and Femi Kuti 1998 released Tracks of I Sorry Sorry for Africa, Wonder Wonder and also Truth don die; Also the Fela Anikulapo Kuti controversial track of Beast of No Nations, listen to these tracks before going through this piece it will really speak to us about the geometry and the structure of the world economy and how it affect Africa or what is been ditched to Africa on The Round Table of The United Nations and The World Powers at the end of every sitting conference.

Without need to stress more on the egaliterian of OluFela Olusegun Anikulapo Kuti, the good side and his bad side or weaknesses nor to overlook the luggage of Amoral Skeletons Fela Had or incurred in The Course Of Representing Africa in the face of the world, Let me say no one his perfect, Even Jesus picked up whip to trash some people in the Temple when he said the temple was his father's property and he was on the course to restore it to its original glory. Dont be surprised, lo & behold, some of this people he once trashed with whip were all present at the venue of Jesus crucifixion ranting Crucify, Crucify, Crucify to include some Jewish leaders, tax collectors from both the Roman government side and the Jewish leaders side who were once profiting from the temple market business and who saw Jesus efforts as a Challenge and threat to deposed them from office, so was the case of Fela, with or without is weed in this picture, Fela remains the Modern day Jesus from Africa, The Mohammed of Africa, the unsung legend, likened if not greater than the likes of the legendary Bob Marley, Michael Jackson because Fela was exclusively of a brazen heart of steel similar to the likes of Martin Luther King Junior, Malcolm X, and a host of great African reformer. Fela was a fearless soul at gun point spewing his verbal, potent and lyrical acid as a social activist to keep the dictatorial military government on their toes when every other voice was afraid to die. Thanks to the great Dr Victor Olaiya who contributed his quota in the making and shapening of the African Legend, teaching him more on the use of horns, trumpet and Sax.

Now back to the matter of The World economy as the matter at hand as at what Fela wished we all knew from the start.
Africa must understand that we cant win a rat race or economic fight with the world super powers and the rest of the developed world if we continue to approach life & business the same way like the usual errand boy and messenger of doom. The same super powers and big brothers that have continue to relegate and scorn African place and effort over the years. We must understand that we cant win in an unfair economic competition except we focus on the resolutions of the African Union, until we fulfill such obligation can we be relevant in the eyes of the world. We attempt to compete in an atmosphere Where the organiser of the show, is the umpire and yet part of the conspiracy to continue to shame the African effort in disguise of a helping hand in times of crisis which they instigated on our land. The list of this crime against Africa is endless. When we all talk of corruption in the world perpetrated by African leaders who use most of this illicit wealth to acquire property overseas and starch in the Swiss Bank, Who is the police, who is the thief and who is the jury and magistrate in the court?

The aiding and abating of the developed world in the crimes of our corrupt leaders and political tyrants looks more like a conspiracy to totally cripple the African economy using one of our own as the best agent of interest. An extensive dig into the history of the USA federal Reserve will tell you the trails and tracks of the barraging economic missiles and financial crimes staged on the African soil and our need to wake up and form our own kind of economy best ideal for the African business. If we are circumspective enough, we would realize that the silly economic mistake of one African government is to the advantage of another government somewhere meaning one man's loss is another man's gain and somebody or a group of people somewhere is always praying for a group of people to always make mistake so that the dollar can gather more weight and cognisance toppling the other poor African currency. This is like saying one country is labouring for another country to no just ends.

We are in the league of United Nations of the world but we must remember that the Africa Union interest must be top priority on matters of home and motherland, No more alliance of doom and alliance of poverty. It is obvious that in the UN, the game is more likened to one man's gain is another man loss which has been the bane of the diminishing African economic power since its inception. The UN needs to be more transparent in its dealing with Africa along side in the financial status of Africans.

The World Bank Loan, Free money and free hand out and IMF loan condition has always taking Africa aback in Industrial and socio economic progress as it all seem to have amounted a neck cutting mortgaging interest. Africa is tired of being pawn on the UN selfish game. Teach us how to fish and not give us fish. As Africa, we need the rest of the developed world to shore up our boarders and immigration queuing and begging for Africa Visa if that cant happen, then its clear that a group of people are not been sincere enough on the UN committee of nations as to why the African economy is becoming more and more distressed. Its like some group of persons are waiting for the entire African economy to implode on itself. The USA GDP is barely $19 trillion USD. With other conditions been equal, the entire African wealth is supposedly summed up to be $170 trillion USD, but its a very very big shame to the UN that the Nigerian African brand economy alone cannot boast of 70% of $1 trillion USD. There's a big foul game somewhere. A very big conspiracy that should alarm the world. I have nothing personal against the USA as a country because the USA is a land of untold opportunities giving hope to the hopeless on its shores. Most of my great mentors are the Likes of Ben Bernake, Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Bill William Mc Chesney Martin Jnr, Arthur Bums, Thomas McCabe, Lyndon Johnson etc. I urge the government and citizens to be more strategic and pay close attention in ensuring African continent development.

As at Dec 2008, When Obama assumed office, the USA government inherited $10 trillion USD debt but the USA economy grew ever stronger despite the staggering debt. As at the last quarter of Dec 2016 When Obama was to leave office, the country stood at an all time debt of $20 trillion USD, as at the assumption of Donald Trump in Office, the American debt now stood at 21.5 trillion and believe me, if you go to the USA today, a lot of individual and SMEs are doing their best to help and revive the economy. Remember all the free gift and hand out you get is been serviced or pay for by one innocent patriot and citizen somewhere. Larger population of The USA are not conservative enough but has been surviving on mortgage such that at government quarters, the economy is stressed but tries to mask the alkaline economy to be sugar coated when presenting the economy to her people telling them that all his well. Also excessive Africa to USA immigration is also eating deep into the American economy along side the pressure from immigrant from other countries of the world.

That has kept the American economy disconnected and at a parallel ends to that of African economy. Because more Bilateral trade with the USA would mean Africa paying for most its debt which can totally erase the African economy and existence from the world map. Shall we say the ever staggering USA debt was at a disadvantage or at an advantage of the ever receding African economy? Whichever way North or South the US Dollars point at exchange Forex market, believe me, it has never favoured any African country and I have a 99% doubt it will ever favour Africa nor any African country just as neither devaluation nor revaluation of any African currency has ever favour any African economy on a PPP scale. Could it be that there's someone somewhere playing a big show puppet game with the vulnerable African economy because the handwriting already is clear on the wall that he who pays the piper dictate the tune either way to his favour. Remember someone has debt to be paid and believe me only the ignorant will enjoin in paying the debt incurred by some extravagant persons. If you listen to the German artist Rammstein track, Amerika, you will learn alot on how the world today on how to swallow the American pill culture. The world today is trying to be like America but it will be disheartening to say that such countries will in no time bite their economic end sooner than anticipated.

It is so dumb, ugly and enraging to find local Nigerian artist singing song with free adverts promoting coca cola, Ferrari, Gucci, Porsche, Prada, and so on and forth, it is a more reason why most upcoming artist need to go to music school or invest resourceful time researching about entertainment content long even before they start because some of this traits conflict the much needed professional code and conduct of the entertainment business.
Let no African country believe that their economy is better than the other way because it will seem very much like the story of the baboon calling the orangutan an ape or rather the kettle calling the pot black. I cant say that the Nigerian economy is better than any African country despite the Naira now seem battered and at a disadvantaged pitched scale to most similarly relegated or appraised or revalued African currency but I will advise you all to pay a visit to Nigeria and compare the cost of University education in Nigeria to that of your country, the cost of accommodation, feeding, transportation, gasoline and so on and forth, until then don't believe everything you hear from the the doom peddlers hurling ugly stories about Nigeria into the Media. The fall and loss of Nigeria would be every African loss.

This is the sole reason that kept most companies to their heels and economist and countries mad because the Nigerian economy is very unique and unfit for rogues because if your company records is not clean enough and if you dont pay attention to some details and realities of the economy, your business is bound to collapse. Nigeria is blossoming and hopeful when the rest of the world thought it is finished for Nigeria as some would say Nigeria has already imploded or already fading away. The loss of Nigeria or any African country at the Forex should not inspire a street jubilation as if it were the ousting of the 1966 Kwame Nkruma sacking from office.

As much as I deem this short article expository towards a greater and more robust Nigerian and African economy, we must also not forget about our old wounds that has grounded and landed us in the fate and common predicament we share today as a country and as a Continent.
