Africans and the past ONCE upon a time African chiefs could take your wife, your daughter, your goldprize cock, your bull, your farm or anything you had that caught their fancy and no one could ask them any question. It appears that the AU and its team of sycophantic bureaucracy wishes to take us to the back to those dark days. In the tmes we are living, my candid opinion is that we should let only God be above the law and constitution of a country. Look around and see for yourself were the wine of power has enterred the brains of an African leader, what these people are capable of doing or undoing. Is it because of short memory that we no longer remember Iddi Amin, Jean Bokassa, Chiluba, Mbigu wa Mutharika, Gaddafy and the likes? Any people centred and God fearing African leader should never be afraid to be treated liike an ordinary citizens. It is this business of being above the law that is giving so many cracks in our laws and constitutions to the extent that rules and practices can be flouted without anyone being taken to task, because of the misplaced so called immunity against prosecution. What Africans are being told now (attention the clergy, pope, bishops and all leaders of religion) by our rulers is that rulers even more than the clergy cannot commit any sin and hence should be above the law. Africa is now poised to get richer and richer from discovering and expliting gold and other minerals, oil, gas and other natural sea and land resources do we believe that if our leaders are allowed by our constitution and our esteemed AU to be above the law, any of that wealth is going to remain in the co ntinent? Any body else except their families, friends and sycophants will ever get rich in the future ? Right now there is A MOVIE OF THE CENTURY going on in the Maldives. In the first round of elections the incumbent got only 5 per cent of the vote, but now he is using the misguided court and police to stall on the elections. The Wahid vs Nashad war is nothing but a vivid example of what those who believe are born to lead can do at the expense of a people and country to satisfy their hunger and thirsty for power and being on the top. Africanleaders left on their own are more likely to return to the old ways of chiefdoms and kingdoms if they have not yet started doing that. If am a President then the next beet person surely shall be my own son or daughter or is it not so. And you want us out of ICC, who will protect us from this power drunkardness ? Youths of Africa and especially those taking law, ICT, governance, management and like soial studies beware of bureaucrats and officials who want to corrupt the politics, eocnomics and social issues of Afruca to a point where the BAD GUYS SHALL FOREVER BE PROTECTED BY TH LAW AND CONSTITUTION while the weak and the poor get eaten alive everyday !!!!
