WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE BLACK MAN IN WHITE PEOPLE’S VALUES AND CULTURES?

Only the enemies of Africa will advice Black Africans not to develop their own institutions for worshipping God i.e. develop God from African culture. However, “ENEMIES ARE NOT GOD”. In matters of faith, “SPIRITUAL AND· RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS SERVE THE PURPOSE OF HELPING MAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CREATOR AND ACT AS THE COMPASS THAT MAN USES TO SAIL INTO THE UNKOWN AND THE TELESCOPE FOR VIEWING IT. Foreign values though are not rejected in Africa, have no future dominating the Black continent because, African orientation is the pathway on which they travel and must always meet in front. The reality is that, “NO MATTER HOW FAST AND FAR THE TRAIN TRAVELS, IT WILL ALWAYS MEET THE GROUND IN FRONT OF IT”.
It is embarrassing to know that modern Black leaders have no knowledge of how religions evolve despite their education and enlightenment. Any distinct people like the Black race must forbid hiding their identity and assimilating only foreign cultures as her official orientation. Despite having a visible identity, positive potentials and resources for economic emancipation and development, “Black leaders are scared of rivaling other human beings of the world”. Black Africa may have fallen today, but the truth is that, “THE GREATEST GLORY IS NOT IN NEVER FALLING, BUT IN RISING UP AFTER A FALL.”
To experience favor in the eyes of God, the leaders of Black Africa should begin the process that will promote the development of independent resources that can be combined with the dependent resources of foreigners (independent and’ dependent income). This “duality approach” to development, is the only way we can protect ourselves anytime the foreigners are against us. The fact is, “NO MATTER HOW MANY HEADS ARE IN THE MARKET, ONE WILL NOT MISTAKE HIS MOTHER HEAD F’OR ANOTHER”. African values can never be eroded from the memory of Black people. Universally, the over-dependence of Black leaders on foreigners which was initially popular in immediate post independence era, has turned to dishonor that have led Black citizens to penury and made’ us become nuisance in the current international system. We should be aware that, “THE ACT THAT BROUGHT HONOUR TO A PEOPLE, IF OVERDONE, LEADS TO DISREPUTE”
Black citizens and youths must take the discretion to re-direct the footsteps of all Black people from this undesirable journey of embracing another slave trade. They should act no matter how expensive, divisive and risky it may be because, “JUSTICE WHICH IS TRUTH’ IN ACTION IS THE MOST DIVISIVE OF HUMAN VIRTUES.” The resultant poverty from unsolicited dependence on foreigners has led to so many catastrophic fatalities that numbers no longer matter to us hence; Black people die randomly unaccounted for.
Sad enough, Black Africans have the lowest life span on earth; this is unlike people of other human races. Note that where death is too common because of extreme poverty as observed in Black Africa, “MULTIPLE DEATHS BECOME STATISTICS BUT, ONE DEATH IS A TRAGEDY WHERE LIFE IS NORMAL” Black leaders are careless because all Black African citizens have been orientated into this unrestrained tragedy of total dependence with consequent inferiority and slavery to the extent that negativity has become our routine. The result is, “all Black people are universally on their knees”. But with courage, we can stop this disgrace because, “IT IS BETTER TO DIE STANDING THAN TO DIE KNEELING”. This pitiable condition of current Black Africans summarizes the dilemma of all Black leaders in our contemporary world.
WHAT LESSON SHOULD BLACK LEADERS LEARN FROM MODERN CIVILIZATION THAT IS BASED ON INDUSTRIALIZATION?
The Black race must urgently develop economic strength through industrialization (manufacturing) of our cultural heritage and values through our acquired education to create independent resources that can be combined with those of the foreigners Black leaders enjoy subordinating themselves to because, ({WHAT LEADERS ARE, AS A RULE WILL THEIR CITIZENS BE”. It is interesting to note that, the protection of our race lies with us and not with our unrestrained total dependence on other human races and their cultures. As a note of caution, Africa is the only virgin and under developed land in the modern world. With advancement in global technology and nuclear arms, China and India with their new found wealth and population will definitely seek new lands. In the event of violent global crisis in the future, Black Africa might be the victim of future human catastrophe because the developed nations will seek to partition Africa, in view of our economic weakness. Black Africans need to understand that, war naturally destroy the poor. The rule of permanent survival is based on the theory that, “LEADERS MUST LEAVE BEHI~D IN OTHER MEN, THE CONVICTION AND THE WILL TO CARRY ON”. Meanwhile, all the other lands available on earth like Europe, Australia, North and South America, Middle East etc, have all been occupied by the White race while their original owners (Eskimos, Australians and Red Indians) have been’ eliminated from the earth by the White people. Fortunately, Africa remains the only land available to be protected by Africans or be occupied by foreigners due to economic underdevelopment and our citizens eliminated by future world leaders. It is necessary to note that the United Nation Organization and its Security Council which protects the modern world have been weakened by the rivalry of the Security Council members (developed nations) through their veto power.
In the event of another World war, if half a billion Asians (Chinese and Indians) whose population would be more than four billion in the near future, migrate to Black African lands seeking economic advancement or safety from global crisis, they may overtake Africa, because of African leaders failure to develop the continent from bottom to top through cultural industrialization before hi-tech for economic stability.
The Black race currently lacks the economic strength to prevent the Asians, Arabians and Europeans who will plan to take over Black African land, to expand and protect their various people. To protect the Black race, Black leaders should learn how to encourage Black people to think highly of themselves because, “A GREAT LEADER IS ONE WHO HELP PEOPLE THINK MORE POSITIVELY OF THEIR VALUES AND SELVES”.
God does not give humans cultures and religions; instead humans developed them from their values and histories to acknowledge God. Developed values help citizens to be patriotic in the protection of their resources and land. They are not what a foreigner should create and control for you, except when you are “permanently conquered”. In the modern enlightened world, any human race that refuses to develop God from their cultural beliefs is termed a sub-human race.
