  1. Salaam my dear sister
    Well said! As Africans from outside Africa flock to the continent, the continent isn’t quite caught up and receptive to Africans from the outside migrating back home. Our continent is more hospitable to non Africans migrating to our lands than Africans outside of it; desirous of returning home. This problem will subsided in the future.

  2. I don't blame him for leaving Britain with the government that's in charge now they're going to destroy the country. My people from the Caribbean if I ever win any kind of lotto I'm leaving the United Kingdom because the country is a dump and the politicians are crap here never got a bunch of snobby a***Holes

  3. The leaders of Africa are products of African men and women, although often those are products that were extracted from the mother land, shipped to America or Europe where they were remanufactured and then returned back to Africa to perform the demonic crippling work of destroying Africa from within. I am, thus, saying that it is Africans' own stupidity, lack of patriotism, total absence of racial pride, self-hate, etc., that is at the root cause of poverty in Africa and the dirty negative image that is projected about us to the world. And those images of kids in dirty rags, skeletal infants and toddlers covered with flies, dying of starvation; those images of trashy roads and towns, people fetching muddy water to drink and bathe, open sewers, Africans' atrocities on innocent Africans, carnage and genocide, everywhere, do affect us all, negatively, no matter where we live in the world.
    I have never been to Africa. I was born in the diaspora. I am planning to go and visit my Falasha people in Ethiopia, where my great-great-great grandfather came from. I would have gone back, for sure. However, the African governments make it easier for white and Yellow, and Arab foreigners to move into our only possession, Africa, than they allow us a courteous passage. Thus, the core of the problem is Africans, themselves. Idris moving back won't change reality through just telling our stories. In fact our enemies don't have a problem with us reminiscing, lamentably, about our glorious past, as long as we are only telling stories, no matter the color of the lips that do the telling. What matters, and what will make a difference is the type of concrete actions we take to forcefully change our reality, everywhere.
