‘Ken Du Yaakar Nit Beh Parreh Yabb Kor’

It is said that your failure is not really a failure until you get down to blaming someone else for it, because “it is human to err” or to fall short, but having the guts to blame someone else for that natural thing is like insensitively trying to absolve yourself from responsibility

Same way, the African should overstand that his problems are his problems; stop paying too much attention on the unconvincing notion that every bad thing that happens to him was a secret plot by powerful foreign conspirators; because even if the ‪‎conspiracy is authentic, the onus is on the sufferer to stop talking and deal with it - not the one meting out the suffering.

Unfortunately, we have a very vulnerable mental state and that is primarily why many Africans have a sad outlook on being African, we cannot see ourselves as people filled with possibilities and solutions, and that sucks

If you ask me, until we grind all these to a halt; until we stop blaming our misery on foreign, or on God and the natural balance, we will continue to count on the same foreign people for support and backing, hence we’ll have no rights to point finger at them anymore.

Even if we succeed in making foreign feel uncomfortable about our problems, say this ‪#‎Ebola epidemic for instance, will their guilt change our unimpressive tactics? Will it decelerate our obsession for purposeless qualifications, intellectual-masturbation, bling-bling and titles of nobility? Will it help us to grow out of our past and get to work; you know, find solutions? Couldn't this age be an age of commonsense; or do we want to say that many years ago, when they came to Africa, they also sailed with our stock of commonsense, unseen?
