All through my studies I have been battling with staying calm and sane as I read all forms of literature from news clips to journal articles to books and policies and conventions. It is not only infuriating but extremely patronising to read about my ways and my culture from someone who does not know anything about my lived reality. As if that is not bad enough, to now tell me that my way is bad and your way is better and I have been blind for centuries and that you I have now come to save me from this pit I’m in is the epitome of condescension and something that I am no longer willing to swallow. It’s time for African women and men to start writing about their own affairs, their own way , in their own voice and find apt solutions to suit their problems and not wait for some father Christmas to come and show us the way.
