True wealth in African spirituality is not measured by possessions, but by how many lives are uplifted. It is not the fortress of the self, but the river that flows through the community. Wealth is stewardship entrusted by ancestors, sustained by the land, and validated only when it nourishes the poor, the orphaned, the sick, and the forgotten.
The White Man gave you a book that spooked you into believing in hell. Why didn't the White Man fear hell as he raped, mutilated, enslaved and tortured your Afrikan ancestors for centuries. I guess hell is just a place for Afrikans.
The lack of revolutionary spirit across Africa is tied to religion. When one is aligned with their ancestors and nature, visions and dreams are shared with the individual.
Disconnecting people from the source was about keeping them away from truth and self-awareness. Because once you truly see what has been done to your people, anger becomes inevitable.
Sir Alex Ferguson built Manchester United from the ground up, then dominated the Premier League with sustained excellence across 21 years, with 13 titles, building Manchester United into the biggest club in the world alongside Real Madrid.
He rebuilt his teams over & over, he defeated everyone who challenged him. The money wasn't endless, he didn't have a blank chequebook, he didn't walk into a club built for him & he also didn't have the biggest cheating scandal in PL history hanging over his club.
Importantly, the Premier League literally doesn't exist as it does today without him. The money & popularity of it, it all traces back to him. It's why he's the GOAT.
@TellZimbabwe The Zimbabwe bird isnt the only artefact the Rhodes Estate kept. The Zodiac Bowl also needs to be returned and Cecil's remains exhumed from our sacred ancestral ground.
@1changamire No citizen should have to compromise their dignity in such an event. No one should have to rely on mbinga benevolence to get back on their feet. There should be a functioning welfare system, RAF available to all, not just the newsworthy with potential for reputation laundering.

This challenge isn’t unique to Nigeria, it echoes across South, East, West, and North Africa.
Take South Africa. Rich in gold, platinum, chromium, manganese, and coal, yet inequality and energy poverty remain deep. DRC has cobalt and coltan. Zambia has copper. Sierra Leone has diamonds. Libya and Angola have oil. Guinea has bauxite. Zimbabwe has lithium. In nearly every case, the wealth flows out, while citizens struggle for basic infrastructure, healthcare, and jobs.
The issue isn’t intelligence, it’s about transparency, governance, and fair value addition. Let’s hold leaders accountable across the continent. 🙏🏿🇿🇦🇳🇬🇿🇲🇨🇩🇦🇴🇬🇳
Now Africans wear exhaustion like a medal. We call burnout “hustle.” We move fast but build nothing that lasts. A people who never slow down cannot think. A mind that never rests cannot lead. Decolonisation means reclaiming our rhythm. Not everything that moves fast is going forward. Trees grow slowly. Rivers carve mountains over time. Nations are built with patience. Africa does not need to hurry. Africa needs to remember how to grow
@Murakariuki Women hate those who are married. Especially if they managed to get their family in one place over a long time . See those who are divorced or baby mama's. Always hating on the married ones and being side on them husbands. Women for you
The one thing the deadbeat discussion has exposed is that Christian grace is subjective. Its conditional. We rely on Christianity as a moral code yet there are so many holes in it's theories and in it's application is selective. In Africa you don't have to show grace.
If God is universal, why does Africa need a foreign language, foreign book order, foreign clothing, foreign name and foreign approval to speak to Him? Think about it slowly. No river waits for permission to flow, no tree asks a visitor how to grow. Yet Africans were taught that before we pray, worship, marry, bury, or even name God, we must first pass through another people’s system. That should trouble an honest mind..
