whose problem

In the course of chat with a friend, we spoke about Africa and her problems; he was of the opinion that Africans are the cause of the problem while I belong to the school of thought of those who believe colonialism was the root of our problems.
Retrsopecting on the issue some days later, I came to a conclusion that both views were right to an extent but his view I believe had more weight, although truly speaking the white actually came to oppress in the name of civilization though leaving behind uncertainty after there forceful rule.
The question I now ask is what happened when the whites left? The Africa continent has refused to move forward taking a case study from (Rwanda 1994 genocide, Sudan killing still going on, Sierra Leone recently cease fire, Zimbabwe Mugabe making life miserable for his people) to mention but a few.
In almost all cases it’s a tribe fighting another over superiority or bad governance, when will Africa unite and leave Babylon? When will all the killing and looting stop? When shall will stop getting foreign aid? When shall we quit begging for western intervention?
All this can stop if we accept the fact that we are all one!!!
It’s high time we all come together and see ourselves as equals, as brothers and as one.
Finally, according to Anton Lembede a co founder of ANC ‘inferiority complex is the greatest barrier to liberation’. Africans need to liberate herself by seeing ourselves as ONE.
God bless mother Africa

‘SUDAN’ A PLACE OF SLAUGHTER.

Just like Tsavo, some decade of years back, Sudan could be referred to as a place of slaughter, thousand are being killed children and women are on daily basis felled by hot bullets. Sudan a country with population of 39 million choose to buy her fame via bloodshed, so many homes have been torn apart, more than 500,000 people have been killed, vultures have derived joy in the region because of constant source of food which are lifeless bodies of our brothers and sisters.
Similar to Rwanda how many more souls should be terminated before the act in Sudan could be classified as genocide.
How long will the killing go on before care for humanity intervenes, I ponder even if the so called western countries won’t come in probably because they got no oil or gold, what about other stable countries in Africa? Yearly they hold series of summit on development of the continent but it seems Sudan is never included in there agenda.
As a fellow touched by the flight of my African brothers and sisters in despair, I implored us to consider the fate of children and women 6fts below and more than a million alive to sign a petition against this cruel act of Bashir Taha and Gosh.
Why should you sign a petition?
It is one of the means that could bring the genocide in Sudan into limelight and force some intervention on them. visit any of this sites to sign a petition (http://www.hopefordarfur.org/),,(http://www.darfurgenocide.org/http://www.darfurgenocide.org/)
Least I forget the song of a famous rock group,

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

Peace in Sudan, Peace in Africa, Peace in the world.

laide adewale passes on

I got to know uncle laide some 7 years ago, he happened to be the father and simulatneously a lecturer of my first friend (deji adewale) as an undergraduate student of obafemi awolowo univerity. Later in my 3rd year in school he housed me, and i got to know him better.
I will definitely miss him for his humor and respect he accords every individual he comes accross, regardless of status.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
