African Proverb Of The Week
In pre-colonial African culture, the collective was viewed as the ultimate source of power. Reality was viewed not as a sum of parts, but a whole, and the community as a circle that could never be broken. Long before the European colonizer ever stepped foot on the African continent, the collective nurtured, protected, preserved and thrived.
Thanks to centuries of colonialism, this truth about the wholeness of reality has been mostly forgotten. Rather than nurture, protect and preserve the whole, many Africans today seek individual success and validation within the colonizer’s system. Blinded by the West’s pathological individualism, they exhaust their time, energy and resources on literally anything but their own collective prosperity, and will happily betray this collective prosperity for the West’s scraps.
Thus the colonial system continues to thrive, and Africa continues to suffer, creating more division, justifying more fragmentation, and the vicious cycle repeats.
This East African proverb reminds us that for Africa to rise again, it must remember its ancient wisdom, and unify against the parasites who forced it to forget. This was the dream of its great modern leaders, like Kwame Nkrumah, Sékou Touré, Patrice Lumumba and Thomas Sankara.
And for the first time in generations, the dream of these great leaders is alive again in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).

@_Shekhe@aomenya Wisdom does not die. Socrates did not die for his footprints still live. It is the nonentities that died. The wise and knowledgeable know they know very little.
@TheJerzWay Let's rethink about the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd and 4th countries if you may. Can the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 ad infinitum exist without a relation? The Empires once held sway and ignored the future. There will always be an equilibrium in the natural ecosystem.
@therealantoh A philosopher would acknowledge that (s)he knows but little or none of the reasons that Mohammed @mbajaber36 proffered for his decision. On account of acknowledged ignorance, is the philosopher justified to call Mohammed's move stupid?Perhaps Mohammed is not a moneytheist.
