Warning: I prefer posting positivity, educational and enlightening stuff so consider this my cheat post. I don’t know if this is going to be a rant or just a lineup of the videos that I keep seeing but the most important ones to see are the first two and the 3rd to show you what China’s plan is.
So first of all I really think African countries should have the attitude China had decades ago when the USA was trying to ‘be friends’ and China was like ‘no thanks we have everything we need, you don’t need to come in my house to be friends’. As you see in the second video, Africa is turning into China Part Deux. Note: I’m not against China, I’ve just always been weary about outside interests and how fast my home country is ready to say ‘help me please’ (something I hear all the time in Swahili when I go back).
Oh yes! That is the attitude we need. Thank you Nana Addo. I’ve had a motto/anthem/poem/affirmation in my head for specific African countries and it’s called
My Country is Not a Whore House
My country is not a whore house where the locals are clients who give money/chai to the government prostitutes to get screwed.
My country is not a whore house where the political whores let in anyone showing them currency.
Our corruption should not be so cool that we have nicknames for it like Chai or TKK (Toa kitu kidogo – a little something).
Our corruption should not by so much that it went from
Toa kitu kidogo to (a little something)
Toa kitu kubwa to (a big something)
Toa kilka kitu (everything)
It should not reach a point where locals boast about how much or how little the paid off their whores to get screwed.
Please repeat until it sinks in. What are we doing to our homeland? Sorry if I sound frustrated but I can’t stay quiet anymore. Some of my friends have already told me to stay out of it because I’m clueless about Obama’s interest in Entrepreneurship in Africa or I don’t live there anymore but are African countries that helpless that they can’t do anything they set their mind to on their own? And maybe instead of trying to copy and be like the West, Africa needs to focus on it’s own priorities? Like maybe ‘Entrepreneurship’ where they’re preserving the national treasures instead of whoring those out too. Maybe this article will help make my point – Why Africa Will Not Progress
I’m still baffled by people getting excited about China investing in Kenyan roads. First thing I was thinking of was ‘you know they’re going to stop at nothing to get all the ivory, rhino horn, etc right?’. Hey look they really care about the locals transport situation – What the Kenya Railroad Says About China’s Approach to Africa. In other news Mauritius whored it’s waters out for Japan to fish in. Sushi anyone?
I’ll just leave these here:
– KENYA: CHINESE TOURIST ARRESTED WITH 300 ZEBRA PENISES IN HIS LUGGAGE
– Chinese ‘ivory queen’ charged with smuggling 706 elephant tusks
Anyway so here is How Africa is Becoming China’s China
China’s trillion dollar plan to dominate global trade
One of these men (or both) don’t give a fuck about Africans in their own country, you think they care about some other land?
They’re coming from all sides – The US Military Is All Over Africa Despite Not Being at War in Africa. There are currently roughly 7,500 US military personnel, including 1,000 contractors, deployed in Africa. For comparison, that figure was only 6,000 just a year ago.
As I write this Kenya is already nearly Sh 500 Billion in debt.
And this is what is happening to other countries – Zambia is reportedly in talks with China over acquiring its main power company after defaulting on loan repayment
Just to emphasise the message. Europeans already came to Africa and raped her. Now it’s time for the rest of the world is it?
Chinese Will Take Over Kenya
Solution
See Mike Rowe’s message to Americans was to pursue opportunity and not passion. Instead take your passion with you to the opportunity because all these American students were graduating with heavy loans to a market that didn’t have jobs while elsewhere in America they needed hands for ‘dirty jobs’. Full message with a very important letter here – Don’t Pursue Your Passion. Chase Opportunity – Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs
So I guess what I’m trying to say is African countries that are getting excited about external interests should have the attitude that they want to have interests in other countries and that the other countries should be excited about their interest.
