There are few shining lights in Africa.

Ghana is one of them. They have established a democracy that works and a judicial system that is feared and respected.

Mozambique is yet another star. They have a evolve a corp of good leaders that have raised the minimum entry criteria to qualify as a leader.

South Africa is yet another shining light. South Africa is currently the most industialized country in Africa. They are not doing badly on the leadership scale.

Nigeria is even yet another.Since the last three democratic dispensations, we have witness a better and better quality of people in our echelons of leadership. Some of these people are individuals who have distinguished themselves in the diaspora. Others are those who have done well at home. Some of these people include; Ngozi Okonjo-Nweala, Charles Soludo,Dora Akunyili,Nuhu Ribadu. The dispensation of these people brought great honor to the polity they gave us a panoramic view of what can be when their is good leadership, they sey good records that have raised the minimum entry criteria to qualify as a leader. That is why in subsequent democratic dispensation (the current) we saw a lot of distinguished bureacrats and technocrat coming out to be counted. The current Governor of Lagos state is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (the highest honor that can be conferred on a lawyer in Nigeria). No wander Lagos state has already distinquished itself in all key perfoirmance indicators.

What am I saying? There are a few countries in African that are undergoing a slow but sure metamorphosis.

I used the word metamorphosis delibrately. The butterfly is not born a butterfly.It is first of all, an egg,then a caterpillar(margot), then a Pupa and finally the butterfly emerges.

Some African countries are breaking away from the conditions that have kept them as caterpillars for a long time. Some are at the tail end of their Pupa stage and are at the verge of breaking out into butterflies.

It won’t be long before the the few nations who stand as shining light in Africa, begin to influence the nations around them. Much like the success of one Asian Tiger nation flowed to others.

A brighter day for Africa is just around the corner.
keep your torch burning.

And there are websites like this one for many African countries, in an attempt to balance the news and restore investor confidence. In fact, it’s better not to watch the news at all these days, because they only cover awful stories with the intent of fear mongering. Motto of the news business: “If it bleeds, it leads”. You have to seek out trustworthy sources who report the news with balance.

And you won’t find them in mainstream media Objective reporting is a foreign concept for the mainstream media. And the damage being done is colossal. The global collective human psyche is very affected by this. It’s clearly observable.

That’s why Africans always seem so happy, because access to Western propaganda is so limited. A good thing, for sure

It took me a long time to realize how fortunate we are. I’m not wearing blinkers either, there is much suffering in Africa. But the positive human spirit and collective psyche is very tangible. We are rich with something money can’t buy.

The above link shows how big Africa really is, but certain powers would rather keep that info concealed. Read through the above website.

I can only speak as a South African. My comment didn’t apply to Congo, Zim and a few other unfortunate African countries.

There has always been s systematic campaign in the West to only show Africa’s heartache; disease, famine, distators, civil wars. No good news is ever covered. I mean, the last thing they need right now is for the Americans to think they have the short end of the stick here. Instead, they are being brainwashed by their media to think that they are the only free nation on earth, and they are somehow superior to others. But contact with Americans quickly shows that something is very wrong with their education.

They are being dumped down by their education system. The average American on the street have the general knowledge of a chicken.

This isn’t their fault, it’s done by design. For Americans, America IS the world.

They have become a big brother police state after 911, with embarrasing searches when they board planes (removing shoes and belts) and CCTV cameras everywhere. They are taxed for practically everything.

Their consumer culture (eat, eat, eat and watch tv and play computer games all day long) have made them an unhealthy and obese nation. A healthy body houses a healthy spirit.

They are being used as a puppet by Isreal, with Israel lobbyists controling their whole government for Zionistic agenda and expansion. Their tax dollars are used for imperialstic aggression all over the world, instead of bettering their own conditions like healthcare and education.

All their mainstream media networks are Zionist owned. They tell the American people what they think the American people should know.

Their big pharmaceuticals certainly don’t have the people’s best interest at heart, being caught out time and again for sickening the nation. They have one of the worst healthcare systems in the world. A culture of dependancy on anti-depressants is promoted.

Back to Africa, we are free. Our good news is never covered by the West, and it far outnumbers the bad news. It’s the most beautiful place on earth. We are free under the glorious African sun. There will always be challenges, but it’s time we are depicted in the right light for a change by the world media. Or maybe it’s best that we’re not, otherwise everyone would want to come here

True dat true dat true dat.

Free is the man who has nothing to lose.

No logic. No rational thinking. A mother having so many children in those conditions is no mother. Africa will be colonized again I think, it’s a place with a perfect climate and much beauty. It’s sad, but it’s true.

Not to mention the dictatorial “leaders” who are quick to give the West a tongue lashing, all the while enjoying the perks the West has to offer; cars, telecommunication, infrastructure, plains, trains, clothing, cameras, all technology, medicine, the weapons etc. etc.

Africa is doomed. Not the continent, it’s too beautiful and rich, but the people. They’re doomed. They can’t farm, yet they have fertile soil and a perfect climate. This continent breaks my heart, but facts are facts. When Neanderthal came in contact with Cro-Magnon, the meeting was fatal for Neanderthal. The same will happen to Africans. The future will favour the more intelligent.

The sun is setting on Africa. Africa is dying, but after a death, there’s a new birth. I’m sure you’ll give me the third degree after my post, that’s okay. I’m too damn tired of having any hope for this godforsaken continent. Facts don’t depend on how many people believe them, they remain facts. When everybody believed the Earth was flat, it remained round.

I knew you had really railed off the deep end when you included Asians – you know the folks who have had civilizations and empires since time immemorial and the Middle East – you know one of the birth places of a lot of modern philosophy and medicine.

Seriously man I know you want to get angry about something; choose wisely, you’re out of your element on this one.

Have a great 2009.
