A man without a 'Mission' is never truly satisfied!
...ideally one larger than himself something he can pursue until the end of his life and still never fully reach...
The number of lonely men is rising everywhere. Depression and isolation radicalize your thoughts. You become over-politicized and start searching for salvation in online forums, maybe also at the gym.
You escape into drugs, partying, consumption, and excess.
If you have a bit more charm than average, perhaps into women as well.
None of it fulfills you. Over time it only deepens the emptiness.
What you actually need is a real mission!
Don’t let the word “mission” intimidate you. It sounds big, and that’s exactly where most men fail. Find something that genuinely excites you and pour all your energy into it.
Start small. Stay with it. It may take years before you see any fundamental results — sometimes it may take your entire life...
That isn’t what matters most. What matters is that the mission gives your life structure and real enthusiasm!
That energy is incredibly contagious. Women feel it immediately. When you talk about the thing only you can see, with fire in your eyes, they follow you. Good friends and true companions follow too.
Nothing is more magnetic than a man who has a real mission.
It doesn’t have to be world peace or becoming the absolute best in the world. But in the ideal case it should be large enough that you never completely finish it in one lifetime.
Remember: we are all just a small cog in a much larger machine!
The best father or husband you can be. The best craftsman in your field. The man who uses his strength every day to make the world a little better in the places he can actually reach.
Only you can discover your personal mission. It appears when your mind is clear and you stop distracting yourself with empty noise.
Find it. Follow it without compromise!
Never ever quit!
Everything else will follow...
There is nothing more attractive or powerful on this earth than a man with a real mission!
These people are the worst of the worst! Having spent time on the African continent regularly for 30 years now, I see that almost every white person there is trying to do something good for Africans.
My grandparents for example built a kindergarten in Tanzania in the 1990s for orphaned children who had lost at least one parent to HIV. The project is still running today. The children receive early education and one free meal a day. Almost 200 children are cared for at the same time. Everything is funded entirely by private individuals in Germany who donate from their savings — people who have never been to Africa in their entire lives.
In this area of about 100 km there are more projects like this, all funded by Germans or people from Switzerland who are simply there to do something good. They get nothing in return except some laughter, happy faces from the children, and the feeling of doing the right thing.
That is something an your average "pan africanist" cannot understand, because he would never do the same because he is poor, full of anger and has never done something meaningful in his whole life besides shit posting in front of his Screen...
Exactly. Some Africans even complain that chinese companies deliberately send them inferior products made exclusively for the African market.
No. They give you exactly what you asked for: the cheapest possible solution, regardless of the long-term consequences — because that is precisely what most of them ask for.
@kojo_Cula @PanSpear He gives the data he collected from the villagers and split it among the CIA and Bill Gates. Only few understand...
@_moussa_ibrahim African states chose in 1963 to keep those lines to avoid a continent of border wars. That’s proper agency. You pan-Africanists always paint Africans as passive and weak, mere victims of geopolitics.
@Emarged Germany’s tax revenues: about €990 billion a year; all of the African continent: roughly €450–580 billion. That's just crazy!
@stats_wire Great Map!
The Chinese do not care about soft power the way the West does. They are not into “development” from a Christian perspective. They are purely business-oriented and straightforward about their intentions.
But in 2026 for africa, it is better to get good infrastructure — which the Chinese are building — and access to open markets- which China is giving them, Import tarrifs are at ZERO for african goods, from almost every African nation!
It is time for Africa to grow up and put itself in a position of respect, instead of being portrayed as helpless people who cannot survive without the help of the white man
The claim that the colonization of Africa had the sole aim of exploiting resources is a historical narrative of Marxist know-it-alls that has settled into the mainstream and needs to be unpacked!
How often I had to listen to this simplified account of Africa’s colonization from people who appeared educated. Whether in my economics degree or later in my master’s in Scotland, the question was always the same:
What was the purpose of colonizing Africa? And the answer from uninformed students, every time: the exploitation of African states!
That answer was Always marked as correct. However, it remains a thoroughly simplified and illogical statement. So let us analyse it properly.
First one has to look at Europe. Africa was not partitioned in a vacuum, but in a specific historical situation.
In the nineteenth century Europe industrialised at a speed no earlier age had known. Factories needed coal and ore, later rubber, palm oil, copper and cotton. At the same time a mass market for finished goods emerged.
The old mercantilism — closed colonial systems in which the mother country monopolised trade — was economically obsolete. The new watchwords were free trade, open sea lanes and secure ports. Whoever controlled the route to India, to China and to the sources of raw materials held power. Whoever did not feared being left behind.
Then came population growth. Europe exploded demographically. Cities expanded, land grew scarce, emigration to America became routine. In newspapers and parliaments the fear appeared that the continent was becoming too cramped.
To some, colonies looked like a valve: settlement space, prestige, proof that the nation still had a future. That most African colonies later took in few European settlers does not change the fact that this idea was real at the time of the partition.
From this situation follow four motives. Not one. At least Four!
First, the economy. Yes: raw materials and markets. That is beyond dispute. But to turn this into the claim that the aim was “the exploitation of African states” is imprecise. Many of the territories given lines on the map at the Berlin Conference of 1885 were not modern states in the European sense. And many colonies cost their mother countries more at first than they returned. Prestige and strategic position often weighed heavier than the balance sheet.
Second, politics. The German Empire and Italy were young nation-states. After 1871 France sought compensation for Alsace-Lorraine. Britain wanted to keep others off its routes. Colonies were a status symbol in the European system of states. Those who took nothing were thought weak.
Third, strategy. The Suez Canal, the Cape, coastal bases: whoever had steamships and gunboats needed coal and safe harbours. Africa lay on the way to Asia. That is geopolitics, not plunder alone.
Fourth, ideology. Missionaries, the “civilising mission”, Social Darwinism. Some sincerely believed they were bringing progress, faith and order. Others used that language as a cover. Both existed side by side.
Anyone who says only “exploitation” cannot explain why so many Europeans regarded conquest as morally justified.
Exploitation took place. Forced labour, dispossession, violence, arbitrary borders. To deny that would be stupid.
However, to put a single word on half a century of great-power politics, industrial age, missionary work and strategic thought is not analysis, that's lazy Analysis for textbooks and textbook formulas are often the enemy of understanding.
Einer der letzten großen liberalen und unabhängig denkenden Historiker Deutschlands. Götz Aly spricht und schreibt klar, direkt und ohne Fachchinesisch – so, dass auch Leser ohne historisches Studium ihm folgen können.
Eine mittlerweile verloren gegangene Fähigkeit in einer Welt voll akademischen Kleinbürgern, die ihren soziokulturellen Hintergrund hinter Schachtelsätzen und Fremdwörtern zu verstecken versuchen.
Sein wacher, scharfer Verstand hat mich damals schon live beeindruckt. Seine Bücher mich durchs Geschichtsstudium begleitet und meinen Blick verändert: vom großstädtischen, moralisch- besoffenen linken Besserwisser zum weltoffenen konservativen Realisten.
Lang lebe Götz Aly!

@CoastEnjoyer Cattle have always been branded and marked by their owners so you can quickly tell who they belong to and keep them from leaving the herd
There is no such thing as “Black unity.”
Black Americans share little more than skin color with people on the African continent. Beyond that, there is no automatic common ground. A Ghanaian and a Somali also come from two different worlds.
It is the same as me having nothing inherently in common with a Russian simply because we are both white.
I probably even have more in common with my African brothers, because I have known the continent since I was six years old.
The truth is that African Americans are among the least respected groups on the African continent. They are widely seen as loud, ignorant, and arrogant.
And that is exactly how I have met most of them. It is extremely embarrassing for Black people worldwide.
Most of the negative stereotypes about Black people come from African Americans and their behavior.
That's another truth
I have rarely met people as self-critical as those on the African continent. Most of them know exactly what the problems are.
That is a rare and powerful quality — and the starting point of every real change.
Every smart African I meet has long stopped pointing the finger only at others, only at the West, or only at politicians. Politicians come from the people. The problem is never just the political class. It is a broader attitude that has taken hold.
Don’t accept the status quo. That is the most important thing to do — always.
You are the change. Trust me: once you change and stand confidently by your worldview, people follow. They take you as a role model!
Call a mistake a mistake. Call bad behaviour what it is — and be confident about it. Drop the mentality of “this is how we are” or “this is how we have always done it.”
The truth is this: there are extremely many smart, honest, and hard-working people on the continent — far more than Western stereotypes would have you believe.
@JeremiasGeorg Unfortunately, you are right.
You have what it takes!
Africa today and Africa under colonial rule are completely different realities. Comparing the two eras is difficult.
After colonial rule, Nigeria had only about 45 million citizens. Today we are talking about close to 250 million. It is far easier to govern a small population than a very large one.
People also underestimate the impact of the Cold War and the 1990s on the African continent. That period was marked by conflicts and civil unrest, and it is a major source of much of the chaos we still see today.
All the best.
@KofiNyame001 Do 2 things:
First, check Ghana’s import figures for agricultural products.
Then check the same figures for the African continent as a whole.
After that, review your statement again and explain to me why there is reasons to look at others, rather than your personal Output!
African countries and their capitals are unique and extreme when it comes to prices and few people really understand why. So let me explain it to you...
Luanda, the capital of Angola, was ranked the most expensive city in the world four times between 2011 and 2017. At the same time, average incomes in Angola were only around 100 dollars.
How is that possible?
Most capitals in sub-Saharan Africa were founded and built by former colonial powers, and most of them sit on the coast. The reason was simple: trade was — and still is — done mainly by ships. To get resources out of these countries, they put the administrative and commercial centers at the shore.
After the colonial powers left, those cities were pretty much the only places with functioning infrastructure, because that is what the colonial administrations had built. Some did it better, some worse — it depends heavily on the country — but the general rule of thumb is this: almost all of the well-built and well-maintained infrastructure came from the colonial period.
That is why so many people moved there. Apart from farming in rural villages, it was basically the only place where you could make money.
At first, that was not a problem. Ghanaians, for example have told me they bought plots on the outskirts of Accra some 30 years ago for something like 50 cedis — at the time around 20 euros. Those same plots now start at around 100,000 euros, and we are not even talking about prime areas...
The reason is that these countries did not have huge populations then, and land was treated as an almost endless resource. A friend of mine even told me that 20 years ago he was offered four plots for free near Airport Residential Area because someone “owed him some money.” Those same plots would now be worth more than a million Dollars!
Then the population exploded. Women were having five to seven children, basic health systems improved a lot, and all those people rushed into the same cities — the capitals of sub-Saharan countries.
And the population is still rising. Africa has about 1.55 billion people today and is expected to reach around 2.5 billion by 2050.
Some countries are trying to ease the pressure by moving the administrative government to another city, like Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire. Even so, demand in the old capitals remains extremely high, and creating real alternatives is difficult.
So the crazy prices you see today are a bet on rising demand. That demand exists because there are still so few alternatives: almost everything is concentrated in one city.
I am pretty sure that bet will pay off, no matter what.
You can still go to the countryside and start farming. Out there you can get a plot of land for next to nothing — sometimes in exchange for some bananas — and instead of wasting your time in the city selling Chinese goods to each other and living in a shelter, you could farm and make a decent living...
But that’s just my two cents

Let me get a final step further...
Nothing more painful for a young, smart, ambitious African than being trapped in a society that works against him and everything he believes..
You have to fight through it. Forget what your parents and elders are trying to explain to you. They are good people, but they know nothing about how the world works today.
Stop chasing prestige. Your parents want you to go to university for whatever degree so they can brag to their peers. Don’t blame them — they don’t know better. You do!
Technology adoption in many places is still at the very beginning, but AI will not stop at the Sahara Desert. It is already changing everything.
Stop taking career advice from elders just because they are old.
Old does not mean wise — that is a confusion most Africans still make!
Get out of environments where old people hold the authority and build your own battlefield. You know better.
There are massive chances on the African continent. For someone with vision, ideas and a hands-on mentality, it is probably the best place in the world to create something big!
Stop looking only toward the West. Travel, see other cultures, sharpen your worldview — then bring it home and adapt it.
For a young, ambitious African, the bigger opportunities are in your home country, not in the West. Here you can build something large and useful. In the West the odds are high that you end up trapped in service jobs, never building real wealth.
Living paycheck to paycheck, sending money home and visiting once a year is not a bad life. But there is more possible for you!
The path is hard. You have to be disruptive with society’s norms and rules.
Stop just being nice to everyone!
Stand uncompromisingly for what you believe and for what you stand for!
Become a real entrepreneur!
Build it here. Own it. Don’t wait for permission!
I’m going one step further...
I have met many impressive young Africans who run successful businesses, and they all make the same complaint: employees steal, and it is almost impossible to find a reliable manager.
That makes it extremely hard to scale into other ventures.
The moment you start the next business and take your attention off the first one, it collapses — through theft and bad management.
The only way to keep it running is technology plus heavy, constant supervision.
The even bigger problem is that most Business owners do not act immediately when misconduct happens. They do not want to "lose face" and are afraid others will think badly of them if they fire someone.
Social pressure, the constant attempt to keep the peace, and the attitude of “let God punish him” create an environment in which people get far too comfortable with bad behaviour.
Don’t even get me started on family obligations. They are probably reason number one why businesses collapse.
It is a very bad environment for running successful companies.

Left-green girls secretly love right-wing conservative men. For them it is like playing with fire. The only requirement: the men have to look good and be charismatic. Unfortunately most AfD politicians look like the product of generations of inbreeding. Only unmistakable sexual attraction could ever make this coalition happen.
