The year is 2010 when the Almighty himself decided to call all Africans to stand up wherever they were, to answer simple questions. These are the interrogations as they flow from God to Africans:
GOD: How many of you contributed to my decision to create the world? Such Africans should remain standing.
AFRICANS: Africans after looking at one another remained silent. The Kenyan looked towards Tanzanian, the Nigerians looked towards Ghanians and the Ugandans looked toward Rwanda to respond first. The strategy was that whichever tribe responded first, the other would simply take the opposite side. These people (Africans) argued for several days with each tribe jostling for position and myriad of reasons why they cannot remain standing just like in the days when the tower of Babylon was being built.
GOD: My simple question to you was, "how many of you contributed to my decision to create the world?" and the question was not "what tribes you are from"? I know what tribe means and don't redefine it for me because I created it since you were unreasonable in the days of old. You may answer the question right now otherwise I will visit on you the collective reign of Mabutu Seseko and Iddi Amin Dada . This time, I will not allow you to go into exile and start whining from yonder neither will I let you stay in Africa to reap where you do not sow, never again.
AFRICANS: Looking at themselves, Africans started individually to ponder over how they faired during the reigns of their despotic leaders. Some were concerned that they had not grabbed enough during Mabutu and started querying if it wouldn't be nice to go back to Mabutu era to complete the clearing of the treasury. Some considered that they would rather enjoy their positions of power in a captive mindset than challenge an unacceptable anomaly in society. Others thought, for a moment, about the power of life and death they had during Iddi Amin Dada and decided that with twenty-twenty hindsight they could just finish the uncompleted executions of the whining and ungrateful Ministers while those born again Chrislams (Chrislams are those who align with Christians when conditions favor them and Moslems when the time is right) wondered aloud how they could use religion to destabilize the system for political gains.
GOD: This is the last time I will ask you to respond to this simple question.
AFRICANS: This must be a tricky question. Other Africans bemoaned their experience but were just ready to play on words when God came back to repeat His question. Africans, I need you to respond right now otherwise my decision would be made and I do not change my decisions, as you know. Seeing the furry with which God expressed Himself, all Africans finally sat down in response to God's first question after two weeks of illogical deliberations.
GOD: I have regretted that I created the British people that carved out these people called Africans. Since the people I created have moved to different parts of the world in search of greener pastures, these must be the rejects of my creation because they neither know what they want, understand what time means, or do not know the implication of why I took seven days only to create the world. As the almighty God, time was not of the essence, I could have taken eternity to create the world, you know. Unfortunately for me, instead of you (Africans) to know the glory, resources, the brains that I pumped into this "'God' forsaken land," you engage in the blame game. Time is very valuable to me and you have wasted my time. I will give you one more chance to redeem yourselves by asking another question, "how many of you did I give the opportunity to choose your tribe, your color or which land you were born into?" Do you know that my son, Jesus the Christ in who I said I was well pleased, did not have such a luxury either? Would you sit down if you did not make contribution to your genetic coding?
AFRICANS: Again, the Africans queried if this was not a tricky question. One would have assumed that the time wasted in responding to the first question would yield a quicker response this time around but it did not. Africans, after several unproductive and irrelevant discussions finally sat down in response to the second question. God shook His head and regretted creating these dependants of Adam, Abraham and Jacob.
GOD: The next question for you, "why do you delight in bringing small inconsequential foreign companies and build then into formidable companies whereas you neglect to build your own small companies to create wealth and employ Africans?"
AFRICANS: God, this is the easiest question to answer. The fact is that we do not believe in our people because you, our God, said a prophet is not acceptable in his own country. Furthermore, since we do not trust ourselves, we'll rather see our capitals flying over to Mzungu land, at least Mzungus will give any individual that give the contract certain percentage even though the percentage amounts to the Ominous robbing Africa. Moreover, those individuals that give contracts are often made toothless directors that cannot influence anything. Mungu father, we Africans have recently looking for ways to stop improving the economies of the Mzungus and concentrate using ours but we are scared because if we stop, the Mzungus have penetrated in to Africa even to the highest levels of government. But what can we do, isn't it now too late to start building Africa's industries and the expense of the master, the Mzungus? Won't the Mzungus assassinate our leaders for the loots they can no longer cart away?
GOD: Before asking my next question, I would shed light on your last inquiries. First, there is nothing wrong with helping the so-called Mzungus but not for the sole purpose of helping individuals to steal. The fact is that you can bring in viable foreign companies and insists that they hire your best and brightest so that in not too far a future, you too can compete on equal ground because you would have indirectly created a level playing field. How many of your African companies have any Mzungu helped to get into their market? How many Africans are hired in foreign lands and paid expatriate outrageous salaries? How many smart Africans have the foreign countries given housemaids, gardeners, free cars, etc.? Do you know that the money that these foreign companies use to satisfy their hires is already added to the contract amount they negotiated? Then, Africans, what are you going to do about it? A way out for you is to champion few African companies by giving them enabling environment to grow. Right now, you call thieves to come to steal and at the same time you call the farm to arrest. In other words, you ask African companies to be given opportunities by the Mzungus, what a scrappy strategy is that for people that call themselves smart? You claim that African companies may not perform well but allow foreign companies to perform in a sub-optimal state. Instead of firing or black listing them, you give them bigger contracts because their African lobbyists are there with pan in hand to beg. It is a shame. Remember I clearly stated in my good book that to those who have, more shall be given and to those that are stupid to think they don't have, even all they have shall be allowed to be stolen and transferred out. What did you think that the Chinese and Japanese nationals do to take control of their own factories, industries and their economy? Africans, go ye forth and do the same and the difference will be clear. A word is good for the wise.
GOD: My next question needs background information so that you will not waste my time responding. First, when I created Adam and Eve, they were created with the soil/clay on African and Arab sides of the known world because as you now know, I created the world one block at a time. Most of the known civilization today came from Africa and Arab side. Do you also know that all of you are the same because I am God of all people? When I first created you, every one had the same color. Because I wanted the beauty of my work to reflect my greatness, I decided to have graduated colors in order for you to be able respond to the weather and environmental conditions. Otherwise, I would have made you colorless. Every one of you was given the same brain capacity to modify your environment to your own taste. As you know since my creation, you have differentiated yourselves, created color barriers, and gone to war because of issues which are unimportant to my creation. Do you also know that if I had placed people of same color and all tribe in the same region, you would have found other reasons to use to disturb my system? You Africans, for which I planned to make Africans the custodians, sold yourselves into slavery to others who were not even part of my original scheme. It is truly a shame. You had everything going for you but you messed it up and now you have nothing going for you. If you think you are inferior to your colored (White) occupants of this world, remain standing.
AFRICANS: Africans took another one month to discuss the trick of God's question and its validity. After considering many contrived reasons why they should not tell God that they are inferior such as: 1) the way the White folks helped them in getting their loots to Swiss Bank, to America, and to London; 2) the way the same white folks helped them become proficient in oil bunkering; and 3) the way the whites show Africans how to assassinate their fellow citizens, Africans concluded that it was better just to remain standing so their white collaborators will not depart from them for big and better future looting. God, some of them said, we must be diplomatic with this question.
GOD: Now that you remain standing for what you hardly believe in you will continue to remain slaves in your own mind. You know, I do read minds. Have you forgotten? First, let me explain Myself very succinctly. I gave all people in this world the same brain, the same strength, diversity of language, and the same hope. Do you know that I exhibited special favoritism toward Africans because you were all my first creation? For example, most of the world's natural and human resources, brain capacity, brute force, survival instincts, cultural diversity, excellent morality reside in Africa. If I had allowed you to take the white people in to slavery, they would have been extinct specie because they lack survival instinct and are lazy people who always look for path of least resistance. Instead of accepting my gift, you decided that the masters shall be slaves and slaves shall be masters. Do you think that I did not know what I was doing when I placed 85% of world resources on your continent?
Myself as your God, I decided to let you know that it is possible that I give you all you need but if you don't know what to do it then, I might have just throw it to the winds. For example, I allowed countries of human creation such as the United States, and Australia to exist and they are doing much better than those created by Myself because they have a purpose and a vision to continue life. Do you know that Australia was formed using a composition of looters and murders from Europe? As you know, I am God that forgives those that repent and work hard to formalize their loots and create wealth for their people. Do you know that the very America and England that you make your mentor countries were built with African resources, blood and sweat? Do you know also that America was built on looted money and money from bootlegging? Do you know that America is morally deprived and culturally bankrupt and they are looking for Africa to lift them up? When Adam repented, I forgave; when Esau connived and repented, I forgave; when America repented, I converted their loots to good money and when the rogues and murderers from Australia decided to amend their ways, I made them whole again. As you know, I always bless those that repent of their sins and with time I shall bless Clinton and Jesse Jackson (one of yours). Africans, you have not repented and for this you will always be in perpetual slavery to yourselves, your own chosen leaders, and to the white man. Your leaders have not been chosen out of your need to satisfy your collective needs and for creating an eminent domain of an enabling environment.
I will allow you to fish out John Lynch's 1800 strategy for keeping black American and Africans in bondage for the next one hundred years and beyond. Do you know that America is still executing Lynch's strategy and plan? Did I get annoyed with John Lynch, the answer is NO? This is because, at least, he had a vision, wrong vision though, but he did. What plans or strategy did Africa and black Americas have to counter my dear John Lynch? The answer is that you had no counter response except helping the plan to continue to work more efficiently and complaining after the fact. Why do you think, "the second scrambling for Africa" is taking place? It is because you do not know what you have and have what you know. "Thunder, we are told does not strike twice at the same spot" but for Africans and Africans you defy logic. You were colonized and enslaved but you have not learnt from the experience and in using the word of President Reagan, "there you go again" being scrambled for, and economically enslaved. Your economic slavery will continue in perpetuity as long as you remain unchanged in your outlook toward life. Did you have any say in the first partitioning of Africa nor the scrambling for your resources? You will not have a say in this second scramble for Africa if you do not atone for your sins and become relevant in controlling your own resources. If I am not God the creator, I would have used vulgar language against you, my people but the children are watching me and I cannot afford to make the same stupid mistake blacks, Africans, and especially, Africans are making.
When you, Africans did not listen to me, I gave you the likes of Mabutu and Mugabe since you have not hearkened to my WILL. Mabutu and Mugabe may not have been bad leaders if you, the followers were yourselves good. How are the mighty falling? The case of good followers can be seen from the examples of how Estrada, Kabila fell out of grace. Let me assure you that even if I bring my son, Jesus, the Christ to Africa today, the sycophants will try to corrupt the incorruptible. Please review my words very carefully. If you recall the other time I wanted to destroy the world and I was begged not to, I asked if those begging could give me one good person amongst them and if they gave me at least one person, I would not destroy the world. That was the case with Africa as there were many prayer warriors (Christians and Moslems) during the reins of Mabutu. It was easy for the followers to think that the leaders are the problem, this escapism. To convince Africa that her problems lie with the followers, I surgically removed the despotic leader. Even when Mabutu was removed, just with the hope that Africans would have leant their lessons, they now allow the thieving Ministers and MPS members to govern with my chosen son, Joseph Kabila , the born again Chrislam. What is wrong with you? Can you all think right or do I have to erase Africa completely and erect a white race on the same productive land you have desecrated since it has been your wish to let me know that my decision to make you black in the hot African sun is wrong and to convince me that you want to be whiter than the white people.
Isn't it time for Africa and Africans to take the lead in reviving and lifting the spirit of the black people all over the world. May you, the head, not become the tail because of your own selfishness.
AFRICANS: we heard you this time. Please allow us to collectively summarize your revelation to us this 2010 year by saying, you love us, you want us to get our acts together and be weary of the new colonization strategy, that we can be great if we only believe and love ourselves. Well, we will inform our political leader, our religious leaders, and our great looters to bring our money back home and invest in Africa and in Africa otherwise we are in for the hell called Africa. That if we work together (all Africans), reject the symbiotic relationship which exists between the warring tribes, have a grand strategy which will hence forth define our rallying point and national focus; maintain a National security strategy with which to achieve our grand strategy, you will allow Africa to accept her burdens and blessings with grace.
GOD: All your leaders are to serve you from now and you must call your leaders to serve while actively participating in governance. Furthermore, you must not encourage the leaders to steal that which belong to all of you and shift it away to foreign lands because if I wanted to give the bounty of your land to other, I would have done so. Moreover, it is time for you to start building Africa one block at a time and to have a succeeding strategy. Your leadership has erasable memory and they do not start from where the other one stopped just because they want to find a way to award contracts and cart away the loots.
Can you see how America just installed a king for the first time in her history? Yet they did it with grace. Can you Africans copy good things and discard bad ones. As you know, Bush, the younger may not be the brightest and the most qualified American but he has been anointed. I saw in him one that is willing to give his best for America and so I twisted the arms of the justices to award him the coveted prize of American Presidency but I will keep an eye on him. In the African situation, a general watches over a hamlet while in America situation, a sergeant watches over a city. Do not be surprise that at the end, I will make the sergeant to control the general if the followers in Africa do not change their ways.
Talking about religion that you have used to destroy yourselves, do you know that I do not support any religion? Do you know that Jesus, the Christ did not belong to any religion? Even, Mohammed was not religious but followed the fundamental rules of nature. If you do the same, you will find favor in the Lord thy God. Why is it that those that brought religion and use it to divide Africa and Africa always forget the religion once they have looted your resources? Have you ever been able to defy the fundamental principles of nature, one of which whatever goes up must come down? Haven't power-propelled rockets come down once the fuel runs out? I know what I am saying. Has any one been able to take any wealth with him after his death, and have you not return back to earth when your life concluded? Have I treated white, and black people differently after death? I am assuring you again that no one of my children is more superior to the other. These are the things I promised you and which you must reference any time you want to sell your fellow man. For the first time in your life as a nation, I want you to concentrate on what you can change, respect yourselves, build your self-esteem, believe that I love all my creations equally but I use those that show that they are worthy of my trust.
AFRICANS: May we ask you some few simple questions? If you don't support any religion, why is it that you allow establishment of so many churches and mosques than factories/industries these days? Why do we, as a nation, need to clearly define our strategic interest? Why do states need to control their resources? Why can't younger generations completely take over from the old generations in Africa?
GOD: My children, churches and mosques except very few of them are forms of industry. Sometimes, some of your pastors, reverends, and Imams have regular jobs but they use their churches to augment their salaries. I only recognize those that go into full ministry to glorify my name and do all that is good and gracious in my sight but those that are unable to find decent jobs set up new factories/conglomerates called churches. If you take your time to look, there are equal numbers of thieves, those committing adultery, murderers, drug dealers, schemers, and what have you in churches/mosques as they are outside those institutions.
If you look at the way I do my things, you will understand the necessity for your SNC. Before I created the world, I agreed to a set of fundamental principles of nature that must hold without which all that I did would collapse. Even, I gave Moses the Ten Commandments with which I now use to judge human performance. Without such fundamental principles with which a relationship is to stand, all that toils will be toiling in vain. For Africans to come together as a nation, I will advise them to meet with a view to coming up with a common purpose and plan by which a threat to those principles is a threat to the very existence of Africa, a raison d'eter, if you please for which Africans will go to war to defend herself. Let me give you a hint, ask why all Americans (white, blacks, Asian, Indian) come together when their strategic interest is threatened? If you understand why, then Africa will be an enviable nation there after.
In fact, if you don't know as a nation that you need a grand strategy, a unifying force, you are not yet ready for nationhood. Why do you think I allowed you to coin, "God's own country" for America without getting annoyed with you? It is because, for now, America follows my example by creating a rallying point in defining her own economic, and political interests which they are ready to unit and die for. For now, I am well please with America and that is why I gave America Bush, the younger. As you also know, American constitution has stood the test of time, America's checks and balances is in place but not yet for Africa. Unless Africa is truthful to herself, she will continue to drift without purpose. If Africa must copy the American democracy, she needs to copy all the good parts and leave out the bad aspects. The most important aspects of democracy are creation of jobs, opportunities for self-actualization, and an assurance that the nation maintains her moral, economic and social status in the comity of nations.
States must control their own resources because the power to excel will be in the hands of the state executive; and wastefulness and looting are likely to be curtailed since the indigenes are involved in management. The resource control will also bring healthy competition between states and compel states to perform and produce. When each state succeeds, Africa as a nation succeeds. In fact, because there is a need to succeed, Africans of proven record would be allowed to efficiently manage the few resources at the center and the mediocre will enjoy the fruit of this prudent decision.
You are asking the wrong person (God) this question. As you know, I, as your God is ageless and if you must know my age, I will simply say that I am the oldest spirit you will ever know. I am still running the show in this world. Do you want me to give up this world for younger angels to run? The answer is no because my infinite wisdom would be lost. After all, I allowed God, the younger, Jesus the Christ to bring my kingdom to this world and he performed beautifully well. Even then there were Pharisees and Sadducees who made my son's life miserable just like you the followers in Africa are frustrating some of your good intentioned leaders. What I am saying here is that it is neither the young nor the older leaders that are causing your problems but followers. You must however be sure that the same old hags are not running the nation because they have nothing to add to the beauty of Africa but trouble. You need new leaders, young or old, that are courageous, visionary, and ready to put their lives on the line when it comes to doing the right thing. I am referring to leaders that know how to seek a balance when strategic important to Africa is as stake but not those that always compromise at the sound of their master's voice. The good leaders can come from any where in Africa, so, do not short change yourselves by looking for a sectional leader. Be warned.
AFRICANS: Finally, God, why is it that Africans do not excel as well as other nationalities in Africa and other countries of the world even though they are considered smart by all accounts?
GOD: I am glad that you asked this question. I planted it in your minds and hope that you are smart enough to remember it. There are times when I begin to doubt my decision to allow some nations to exist. Unfortunately, Africa is one of those nations. Scientists have manipulated the genetic codes, which I alone have the authority to change in the past, but I have allowed my curious children their mischief. I am sure you are curious to ask the question "is it possible for the genetic fingerprint or codes of a nation and its people to be modified by mere environmental conditions"? I will let you find out by using the Africa people as guinea pigs. Is it not surprising to you that the Indians, the Chinese, the Japanese, and other nationalities are able to integrate themselves into the British and American society and are accepted? Why is this possible but not for Africans and especially the Africans. The answer is simple. There is no cooperation among black Americans, Africans and especially among Africans. Please, refer to John Lynch's plans and strategies for enslaving black Americans and Africans for the next 100 years and beyond. Can you give the reason why black Americans are not able to use their buying power to lift themselves up (refer again to John Lynch's strategies)? Afterall, Indians, Japanese, Chinese cooperate and they become forces to reckon with but Africans come as individuals, they are toothless bulldogs, and often smothered. The African saying "united we stand and divided we fall" that has formed the building instruments of viable nations? Unfortunately, you have forgotten this fundamental rule of survival. The tyranny of the status quo in Africa will remain unabated as long as Africans continue to be on the fence, uncooperative, and unloving. I have spelt out what exactly Africans must do to become a united people? Do not say that you were not told from now on. Best of luck to you, make hay while the sun shines, and be sure that your utmost is always for the highest, your God. Before I depart to heavenly kingdom, let me say, please cut out the IMF crap because you can finance your projects without taking any loan from these thieves in suits. Again, a word is good for the wise but then you have proven time and time again that you have erasable memories.
