MAMA AFRICA

Africa, the land of greatness;

Africa, the cradle of civilization;

Africa, the continent of beauty and abundance;

Africa, the blessed home of people without a course;

God has blessed Africa, but yet she is scourged, broken, and uncared for by her children.

It is a  pity, that the African man, and the black race have failed so far in establishing our great continent as a symbol of pride, peace and progress.

Darkness looms over the very fabric of our continent, like a vulture hovering around a dying prey.

Corruption has eaten deep into the African society. The rot going deeper and deeper as the clock ticks.

Conscience has become a commodity for sale in exchange for money.

Selfishness and dishonesty has become the dominant trend in the African Society.

Leaders, exploit the masses, the masses in turn exploit each other at every slight opportunity. The disease flows through the top of the society down to the bottom, facilitating the acceptance of corruption and exploitation as a lifestyle instead of a plague.

Prostitution, cyber crimes, fraud, robbery, kidnapping, drug peddling etc  have become appealing to African youths who’s subjection to hardship and injustice have driven into searing their conscience. Instead of rising against the system that has oppressed them, most have chosen to adapt to their predicament in the most negative way thinkable.

Sometimes I wonder why things have fallen apart, at such times I realize that it is high-time we stopped pointing fingers at others, and attributing our problems to external factors when we have done nothing within to re-write our future and transform our society.

We cannot change our history, but we can re-write our future.

Only those who stand and face their battles, reap the reward of victory.

For this generation not to succeed in this quest to rebuild Africa, would mean a failed generation.

Our accomplishments today would be our legacy for tomorrow, our actions today would determine if we would be forgotten tomorrow or remembered in the annals of history, to be remembered for eternity.

No matter how far you go, and how long you’ve been there, as long as you are of African descent, you have an obligation to answer to this call, Africa is your home, even if the world rejects you, Africa would always open her arms to you, so don’t let her die….

Save her now, while you can!!!
