Sister Miriam Makeba, gone but not forgotten 

your sultry voice that captivated the world is silenced by death but you left us a few snippets of wisdom, and we are grateful

Not only do Africans not write our own history, we refuse to read the few that have been written by our own people …

Some of our youth think it’s hip and cool not to read… what travesty !

Please READ and open your minds … your ignorance has become your prison as the enlightened world depletes your resources, captures your markets and feeds you with NGOs, IMFs and partnership agreements designed to keep you ignorant and blind …

Oh you impotents, wake up, for your founding liberators are weeping in their graves

We fight among ourselves instead of uniting to strengthen our resolve against the real exploiters…

Look inwards my people… 

Look not across thy borders for solutions for the gold is already in thy hands…
( à la Lamont Dozier…)

The reset, a great idea that must be embraced… but we must first reset our minds from top to bottom to help us build internal unity and strength , the lack of which enslaved and colonized us … the lack of which will keep us hating each other, fighting over crumbs and blind to our blessings and bright destinies…
