There was a time when Africans had no well-established recognition, which perhaps was due to the impediments of Imperialism and the adverse nature of Colonialism. With time, changes began to come up, Africans in America who had succeeded in liberating themselves, they then push and extended the fellowship of brotherhood to their African kin in Africa. This was a breakthrough in ancestral linkage, a package which saw and met with the evils of its time by the white racist.
Although the era of Racism is gone; the era of segregation was debated, treated, and won by the very species of humanity who saw brotherhood in human existence as the only creation of the living God, who is all-knowing. These very actors saw with time the importance of living together, the joy of fellowshipping and worshipping with great enthusiasm towards and to a God which is one, and which was an extension of the ideologies of brotherhood, borne out of unity, peace and social communion. Today there is a perfect blend of human integration, but if we do not respect this integration, then Africans shall rally amongst it kins and develop Africa with its buoyant resources.
Through latest world’s actions and inactions, today, there is inter-racial Marriages here and there; Political progress in terms of democracy has been copied as a gesture of the providence of a global friendship in diversity. Now Economic issues has been critically implemented to higher advantages in nations which was far below in terms of growth and development, and who also has seen the adverse nature of social, economic and political depression.
At a given time in the world economic and political order, a recession broke out which caused a revolution in technological ideologies of the west and Europe. It was as a result of this gear to survive that the West with an un-relinquished ego to live, and be liberated from Hunger, that they developed the weapons of survival and savaging, with this, they went ahead into the hinterland of the purported “Dark forest tropics” for food, and for survival. If this was the only option the Europe and America has, to simply savage these hinterland for the necessities of food, it would have been better. Others had a different motives, because they on their visit to these hinterland of Africa saw riches, and they made their resolve to savage this riches for the continent’s social, economic and political advancement, for national prosperity; for a more economic and power built states of the west.
In the later years to come, other well equipped Nations of the west also heard of the savage folk-tales, and sailed from the Indies, shores of Indian ocean, the Polaris of America and Europe, came forth the British, the French, the Americans, the Portuguese and Germans. They with the motives to savage this wealth, and take a well established hold, fought gallantly with each other. This wars though was necessary for their respective national advancement, politically and economically recreated cannibalism and near best salvagers called explorers, missionaries, colonialist, imperialist, to mention but a few. A defined mix of ‘structural man-eater’ was born, a reformed and ego squeezed human-haters came on board.
Before this events, in the BCs, the Romans has already done a forensic study of the Hinterland of Africa. This later served as a basis for the exploitation of these forest’s richness.
While the Europe and America was Busy finding routes into the heart of Africa's main wealth, which comprises of the peoples and culture, the plantations, the timbers, the mines, the gold deposits, the agricultural essentials; Africans where either living happily or in a confine of inter-tribal or perhaps clans battles, our provoked to engage in a war out of necessity, not for economic domination as falsely and vaguely conceived by European, European-American Historians, bigots and negrophobias.
In a separate investigation carried out from available archives, Africans from all times in history relay had be built to pay total allegiance to their clan alone, it was a personal model aim at forming a mechanical solidarity such that the problems of the clan will remain supreme. It was a personality growth system built at training Africans for the Africa's Ideological society of the close ties systems. With this notion of growth system, and socialization, these offspring became psychosocially attached to their own confined societies. All others coming from the outside was regarded as enemies, at least reasons for visit were clearly defined, basically by the elders or most senior stakeholders of the specific society.
The idea of “patient trust” is part of an African, and whether you be from his neighborhood, if he doesn’t know you, it takes time for an African to trust you, perhaps you just needed to work hard to earn that trust. On the contrary, the Whiteman was no patient man, as an explorer, exploiter and an civilized barbarian, he doesn’t believe in the diplomatic relationship. This same hitch has cause global harmony till date. This was the way things worked in Africa, and in some civilized remote societies in Africa today, the ancient practices still holds high. This, in my opinion was what the Whiteman saw, and thought that Africans had hated themselves, and the ideal African was a Beast, and thus, Africa was a zoo. The likes of Thomas Isiodre Noel Burkinabe Sankara changed the mentality of Africans at home to look inwardly to the beauty and resources, Sankara gave hope and foresight to millions of Young Africans to be mentally productive in the furtherance of Africa's interest home and abroad, and to use the technology and crafted to develop our continent.
African Scholars later refuted these theories, but thence, the deed has been done. They collectively tried to build afresh an Original ideals of the African society, but it all fell on deaf ears, it all fell on wanting ground of global audience. Black historians’ books where seen as racial, ethnocentric while their European, European-American historian counterparts were seen as authority. Wondering how a stranger could beautifully write the history of a people he knew nothing about of their distant past of yesteryears, this wonder leaves no room for commentaries of any recognition and respect .
Today, Africans have stood up for what Africa truly is. Africans have started its crusade to liberate once and for all, everything that concerns Africa. They have seemingly told their white brothers to return its properties and wealth, which was stolen from Africa through reparations. Obviously, it is evident that Africans are coming together, and that Africans are now sitting in the front-seat in negotiating and implementing global Unity. This is part of our ancient cultures, Unity and Peace.
I think now is the Time for spontaneous focus in Africa’s development, I have often time admonish my African comrades and scholars in all my rejoinders to leave History and deal on the present and future. We have no time to correct historical wrongs or dwell on rhetoric, we have corrected it before now, let's not dwell in Ambiguity historical ambiguity either. Africans must unite by all means necessary in Truth and Justice Alone!!!
