  1. Very pleasing words to listen to BUT The
    Bottomline is the main problem in Africa is exactly the chain she wore on her neck
    Whatever she was trying to portray and accused the religions we using in Africa cannot be neglected until and unless we accept our own and believe in ourselves in other to own back our minds Nothing is going to change our conditions
    Islam and Christianity is the greatest evil installed in the hearts and minds of Africans

  2. We have “traditionally” built roads, diversion channels , and constructed dams , and drilled for water in Awdal, Somalia . All without the help of gov. & or nonprofit/ngo’s . All it took was an African diaspora to come home and do the work the gov should have decades ago. The process isn’t easy but knowing you did the work that was needed for the people outweighs everything else. Sometimes our leaders aren’t really leaders, they’re just scapegoats for the board of directors of this planet. True Happiness is all over Africa, you just need a sense of humor to recognize it.

    Africa has always been a free market based economy and if we are to progress, we must revert back to those free market principles.
