THIS IS THE DEGREE OF HONESTY THAT MORE NEED TO COME TO GRIPS - TopicsExpress



          

THIS IS THE DEGREE OF HONESTY THAT MORE NEED TO COME TO GRIPS WITH. THIS NIGERIAN SISTER LAYS THE LAW DOWN ABOUT THE BRAGGADOCIOUS NATURE OF HER FELLOW NIGERIAN COUNTRYMEN... when in fact.. there is little they have to be so PROUD of. THIS IS THE ARROGANCE THAT SO MANY BLACKS IN AMERICA SEEM TO BECOME SO ENAMORED BY when meeting Africans who come with PARABLES and PROVERBS, because there is a romance that many have embraced that is related to the FANTASY of returning to MOMMA AFRICA. LIKE EVERY OTHER FANTASY... AT SOME POINT... FACTS OVERCOME PERCEPTIONS AND THE STING OF REALITY TAKES PRECEDENCE. IVE INCLUDED THE LAST PARAGRAPH FROM THE ARTICLE LINKED. SHE IS DISMAYED THAT THE UAE HAS BEEN ABLE TO BUILD A NATION OF ENDLESS WEALTH AND BEAUTY IN THE SAME TIME HER NATION (and every nation in Africa) STILL STRUGGLES TO HAVE THE SIMPLEST OF HOPES, DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS. electricity good roads water SHE IS PAINED BY THE PERPETUAL EXAMPLES OF SELF DEPRECATION THAT FINDS AFRICANS ALL TO EAGER TO ACCEPT THE GRIMIEST JOBS AS THEY WILLINGLY GIVE CONTROL OF THEIR RESOURCES AND THEIR RICHES OVER TO EX-PATS. THESE ARE THE REALITIES THAT IVE LEARNED OF IN MY RESEARCH THAT I HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF HATING AFRICA AND AFRICANS FOR POINTING OUT. welp... this is the voice of an African... and if read with the right mind.. CLEARLY she is NOT speakin from HATING AFRICA OR AFRICANS. ITS A FROM A LOVE THAT THOSE WHO CHOOSE IGNORANCE CANNOT COMPREHEND. (this is the last paragraph in the article that is linked). Every time I travel, I am reminded of one thing. We (Nigerians... Africans) have nothing to be proud of, which is okay, because as a nation, we have no pride. We are a boastful lot but I swear, there is nothing to be boastful about. Sure, we have our so called traditions that we like to hold onto tenaciously, even the ones that hurt us. But in the scheme of things, we have nothing. EVERY MEANINGFUL CHANGE... STARTS WITH HONESTY!!!!!! Whats pathetic is... Black people ALLLLLLLL OVER THE WORLD DESPISE honesty when its being directed toward them... THEREFORE... we never progress to reach our FULL and INDEPENDENT potential. sabinews/all-news/love-hate-dubai-pearl-osibu/
