Rational..:

Today the world cries at the death of Nelson Mandela, a great man he was portrayed. Suffered under his oppressors and faith changed. He let them continue to live and be arrogant about their deeds.

The lives of so many went down the drains in South Africa, was this what people died for…? I still remember that great morning of June 16 in 1976, when children were massacred in Soweto. Was this what they died for.. for the forgiveness and reconciliation of their killers who were and are in no way repentant of what they did…? Is this really Freedom, when 55% of black South Africans are still unemployed, more than 50% still living in Shanty towns and slums…? Majority plagued with HIV/AIDS to date…? Yes..! they can be free to move from place to place but not being able to empower them after suppressing them that long, the differences in mortality rate and wealth is still vast between black and white South Africans  

He like President Obama is made a puppet in a white man's doll house. He was hailed a hero a liberator and the freedom fighter… was this war fought alone..? was it Mandela who was shot and killed on the streets of South Africa..? The bloods and lives and livelihoods of black South Africans poured out and destroyed for years and years under the rule of apartheid only for Mandela to preach reconciliation and forgiveness. 

How interesting the International Criminal Court (ICC) can never try it’s own people. But for the blacks committing human rights abuses against their own they will be sent to the Hague, in Netherlands, to be tried by the ICC. What a coincidence, this was the same country that enforced apartheid in South Africa for decades.

Africa for Africans by Africans, we have been told times without number that we can feed ourselves… We’ve been robbed by the west and now coming up to reap us off the South East (China and the like). When will African leaders learn that we will always be tools to others not unless we start looking after our own and for our own by our own..?

I wait to see Africans liberating Africa not by killing each other but by extending a hand to a brother when he is down and needs help to come up. By supporting our very own, enforcing and endorsing policies that will only benefit us. 

Africa will always be our home… the day we learn to make it our home, that will be the beginning of a very long walk to FREEDOM.
