AFRICAN LEADERS SLEEPING AT AU MEETING

African leaders sleeping at AU meetingCurrent mood: angry
African leaders sleeping and snoring at AU meeting. "These are the bunch of guys that the west expects to govern Africa and also "peer review" themselves. With such proposition, you wonder who amongst the so-called Western leaders are better than African leaders.
Second Base jare!"
When "Jesus", the first slave ship captained by Sir John Hawkins set base on African soil in 1562, Africans were running away from that slave ship named "Jesus".
Humanity fought for the eradication of slavery, now slave masters no longer come to Africa in ships, they arrive trough "multinational cooperation", "globalisation" " millennium development programme" and other glamorous names that is only intended to bind the economy of the people of Africa to the Western world.
The romance between the slave masters in Europe and America and their agents (African governments) is growing so much that they have redefined "development" and "growth" to denote the number of flashy cars, sky scrappers, and cinemas.
In Nigeria of today, local manufacturers, entrepreneur's are pushed to the background, starved of funds and giving crumbs under the name "micro finance", foreign companies get government backing and give away subsidy, they make a turn over in 6 months, plunder Nigeria, smile to the bank in Europe, America and South Africa and we clap with one hand singing, wow Nigeria is developing, cant you see the changes, my village remains neglected but Lekki is as good as London we have replicated more Ajegunle's than we have built exotic Abuja's .
Whilst the slave masters in the western world are providing "social benefits" "welfare system", tax relief to their citizens they "enlighten" African leaders who are local slave masters,western governments, and that monster called, world Bank/IMF insist in Africa we have no business in providing those same benefits enjoyed by western citizens.
They claim our economy is not "strong enough" we have not done enough "capacity building" but we have enough capacity for western stooge to loot our economy and keep same loot in western Banks and financial institutions under the very nose of western Governments who turn a blind eye when the funds come trough, heathrow, JFK, Schipol or Charles De Gaule Airports.
"Privatisation", "private public partnership", "austerity measure", and all others are gifts by both local and foreign slave masters to the oppressed people of Africa.
"Africans would no longer be running away from slave ships they would be scrambling to get on board" Kayode Ogundamisi
No wonder the reality now is if that slave ship "Jesus" set sail into the ports of Lagos, Tema, or any part of Africa today, Africans would no longer be running away from slave ships they would be scrambling to get on board the slave ships back to Europe that is because the condition of the slaves in Africa is worst than that of slaves in Europe and America.
At least African "slaves" in present day Europe and America are guaranteed the basic rights to clothing, accommodation, food and even good roads, security and social benefits. It is a matter of lean freedom or fat slavery.
It explains the wickedness of the "comprador slave masters" the ruling elite in Africa, the people are told to do more, sacrifice more, and tighten their belt to the point of disappearing.
"masses tighten your belt for economic growth" Untill we become living corpse abi? Kayode Ogundamisi
We need to find a solution to the problem, one we must acknowledge that our governments in Africa do not work for our interest.
Yaradu'a is soon going to remove that oil subsidy in Nigeria not because it is necessary but because the western world cant imagine how he would not make Nigerians pay for oil in accordance with "International market forces".
He needs British weapons in Niger Delta not because he really wants justice in that region but because the crisis in the Niger Delta is making the average British and American pay so much for oil.
The sooner we have progressive leaders in Africa the better.
