Happy birthday to the one who thinks no dream is too big, no height too unattainable.
May you never lose the light in your eyes and what makes you special!
I am so proud of you always! Happy birthday Oluwaseun❤️
I see African leaders attending the Africa-Russia summit, Africa-French summit, the Africa-UK summit, or the Africa-China summit. First of all, these summits never hold in Africa. They are always held outside the continent. Why should the leaders of a continent with 54 countries travel to Europe or Asia for a summit with one leader? Does it not make better economic sense for that one leader, be it Putin, Macron, or Xi Jinping, to travel to Africa?
But, of course, it is not about what is right, proper or convenient. It is about power. To subdue African leaders. To assert dominance over them.
That is why these summits, sadly, consist of African leaders kowtowing to White saviours.
I mean, look at how the President of Comoros, Azali Assoumani, was grovelling to Putin on video over sitting arrangements and protocol. So disgusting!
Look at the attached photograph. Just see the messaging that is communicated by Putin's hand gesture.
And after going to such extents to suck up to Putin, African leaders left Moscow with neither a grain deal nor a peace agreement. What was the essence of the trip?
Look, African Americans in the USA have a combined wealth that is more than that of the collective GDP of sub-Saharan African nations. And then Africans in the diaspora send more money back home to Africa than the World Bank and the IMF combined.
If Africa really wants to improve its economy, the summit we should be having is a world Black African summit, for example, to unite the Black diaspora.
We should collaborate with the US Congressmen Black Summit and deliberate on how African Americans and Caribbean Blacks can reconnect with Africa, just as the Jewish diaspora is connected to Israel. We should be looking at a right of return to Africa for all Blacks, whereby if you can trace your DNA to any African country, you should be legally entitled to a passport, just as Israel does for the global Jewry.
Only by uniting the global Black race can we have the type of financial and technological transfer, as well as the reverse brain drain that Africa needs to develop.
Russia, the West, China and other powers would not do it for us. Helping us become a rival economic and military power to them goes against human nature, which seeks its own self-interest.
Conversely, it is in the interest of the African American and Caribbean Blacks for Africa to succeed. And that is where we should be directing our diplomatic efforts to.
