One of the worst experiences a human being can have on this earth will come through having great talent but lacking discipline. That person will have great potential that will be unrealised, and dissatisfaction comes from within. It is the distance between where your heart knows you should be and where you actually are.

The second experience, which leaves an unpleasant taste, is a hard worker who fails to recognise the real opportunities time presents. They work really hard, but the outcome in their condition will never justify the work they have put into life. They are left with a feeling of being short-changed.

The only thing I have to say that I haven't said before is that this all boils down to the same geopolitical issue that is the root cause of Africa's situation - lack of sovereignty. Sovereignty is not when you have your own flag, national anthem, nominal borders and paraphernalia of state. Sovereignty is when you can back up those symbols with the ability to control your own public policy, security, food, medicine, energy, natural resource extraction and industrial activity.

When you supposedly have your own flag, anthem and government institutions, but there are American or British soldiers stationed permanently on your territory; the US embassy selects your president; American and European corporations control your natural resource extraction and manufacturing processes; your food supply is dependent on cheap US imports and American GMO seeds that you have to buy every year since they cannot be replanted; your medicines and vaccines are supplied by USAID and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; American NGOs have legal immunity in your country which makes them literally above the law; IMF and World Bank staff in Washington DC have more control over your country's budget, finances, and fiscal planning that your government; and you lack any capacity to roll back or scrutinise any of this obvious interference, that means only one thing - you are NOT sovereign.

Africans need to fight a psychological war with the idea that white people somehow *ought* to be involved in the internal affairs of African countries. There is no reason why the vaccines you adminster to your kids in Lagos, Arusha and Libreville must be made by Pfizer and supplied to your country by an NGO run by an American billionaire. India is also a developing country, but every vaccine administered to an Indian child is made in India by Indian companies under the regulation and supervision of the Indian government. India insisted on its sovereignty, and the sky did not fall down.

There is no reason why you should have European and North American soldiers and military bases on your soil. None whatsoever. Even assuming they have only benevolent intentions which they don't, there is no "security" they are supposedly capable of bestowing upon your country that it cannot generate by itself. Why doesn't France have Cameroonian and Ivorian military bases with armed black African soldiers walking around in Marseille and Avignon? Why must these things only be present in your country and not in theirs?

There is no reason why you should not grow your own food. Of course there is nothing wrong with importing food and global trade can be a good thing, but why must a foreign entity *enforce* food dependency on you? Why should a banker in DC get to control how much land and resources your government can commit to growing food versus growing export crops for dollar incomes that will be used to pay loans? Why should the banker's good friend, the American tech billionaire who is now apparently the world's most powerful celebrity scientist have more power than your government in deciding what type of seeds you can grow on your own land?

If one of your primary economic activities involves extracting your god-given resources from the ground, there is no reason why a European or North American corporation must be in charge of the extraction. The ability to extract gold, oil, diamonds, cobalt, lithium, copper, tin or anything else from the ground is not genetically embedded in white people - there is no reason why local people and businesses must not be the primary economic beneficiary of the natural resources that are present in their own country.

Why should the American tech billionaire-turned-global-knower-of-everything give $1 million to an NGO in Nairobi to campaign for Africa to not use its cheap energy reserves and thus remain poor and unindustrialised? Why should Bill Gates get to determine whether your unborn children will live and die poor or not? Who the fuck is he to decide that? How much more blatant must the ongoing colonisation of your personal and economic space get before you see it as an existential problem? Probably when Bill Gates starts cloning himself, and his NGOs start producing research papers advising your governemnt to import the clones to fuck your wife and propagate his DNA because his superior billionaire cum is better for the planet than your own?

Without an unapologetic push for sovereignty like we are witnessing with the AES countries, rubbish like what happened in the quoted tweet will never stop happening in Africa. The reason Pfizer or any other American big pharma corporation sees Africans as lab rats to be experimented on illegally without their knowledge or consent is that there are no guardrails stopping them, and no consequences afterward - try taking your black African self to Minnesota and carrying out an illegal drug trial there that ends up killing 11 white American kids with names like Molly and Brett, and just watch what will happen to you.

When I keep going on and on about sovereignty, it's precisely because of situations like these. And you can be sure that for every one case like this that came to public knowledge, there are 14 or 15 that we never even got to hear about. Sovereignty in Africa is not just political rhetoric.

It's literal life and death.

People wonder why fraudsters can't use the same intelligence and effort to do legitimate work.

However, it's actually more difficult to do things right. It takes more effort to be good than bad.

When you have no conscience, you don't second-guess your decisions or think about who you hurt. You have a god-like complex because you're smart enough to get away with stuff others won't attempt.

So, when you see someone trying to make money the right way, they deserve accolades. It's crushingly hard.

Almost a decade ago, UAE Foreign Minister HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed warned Europe of what would happen if they continued down their path of suicidal altruism by inviting dangerous fanatics into their nations. They should have listened.

Are you listening now?

@DoubleEph Thanks for this thread. I just occurred to me that I just might be a silent kemi 🥲

When people confine themselves to reading the Bible in a sectional way because of a bias in doctrine, they simply do not understand how God outside of the Church in the kingdoms of men in the world.

Some even limit God's operation to only among the Pentecostals.

There is the redemptive revelation of Christ in the personal salvation of the soul of man, but God has worked in his sovereign grace in the midst of men and still does.

We have an example in king Cyrus where it is reported that he was anointed by God even though he had no knowledge of God as a person.

Isaiah 45 :1,4
"Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut.........4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me"

Pharaoh was raised by God for a certain purpose, to which Pharoah was simply not aware.

Romans 9:17
"For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth."

Nebbuchadnezzar was raised by God and judged when he attributed the building of the Babylonian kingdom to himself.

Daniel 4:30-31
"The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee"

Apostle Paul in his teachings, clearly alluded to this.

God is bigger than your doctrines and we grow daily in understanding to meet God at the level of his thoughts and not to drag everything down to our narrow understandings.

Your number one job as a parent is to provide unconditional love to your kids, because it’s the one thing that they can’t get anywhere else.

Your opportunity will always come. Wait for it. Be patient and spend time building yourself when it appears embrace it and run with it. Your loyalty is to the future God is showing you. It is only on getting there that you will be of highest benefit to your family and friends.

As we get set for next year. Look into all the things you are doing. You make a quantum leap by doing less, not more. Scan through all your activities and look for the ones generating the results.

Eliminate or reduce the others and focus on the few. Decide to raise the bar in your execution of those few, and you will easily multiply your output.

When Jesus wants to increase the fruitfulness of a branch in him, he purges it of certain things it is doing or is, and multiplication occurs.

Are you facing any real serious threats? go to the book of Psalms and prayerfully read it until you find the psalm that speaks to you. It connects with your present feelings and then tells the outcome. Sit with it and practice focussed praying on it until the new day dawns upon you.
