Ultimately I am a Big believer that Africans are responsible for Africa — Barrack Obama.

Growing up. My interest was always wanting to be innovative, to create something that would be vital for the world and be some sought of tech mogul like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and the the rest of the folks in the tech industry. But the question I asked myself at some point was why the black race are not (especially Africans) making a mark like the other races? why are we so unenthusiastic Towards technology like the rest of kind are?

Then my mind clicked and I realized that Africans are easily destructed by the pleasure technology comes with, the sweet-talk that tickle our ears as we lose our resources to the western who have never cared about what we are and easily adapt to change without thinking of how we can best develop our materials, medicine and theories. That the vast majority is still colonized by the teachings the western came with. That most part of academic education is a BIG FART LIE that enslaved us to 9–5 jobs and took away our natural born talents to be problem solvers, creators, innovators and a lot more natural gifts we were born with.

Truth be told. Africa is the richest continent on earth because we have a vast amount of minerals and natural resources vital for manufacturing all sorts of materials that humans demand for. If we weren’t destructed by what the western culture produces and invested our financial power into the herbal industry and our oral tradition concerning health. We would by now guarantee you that most diseases would have had cures and vaccines. That we wouldn’t need debt to rescue us from economic destructions that we allowed ourselves in.

In the end. It’s up to Africans to decide the what to do with ball and were to score it. And if can have as many people been patriotic for our continent. We would be in positions better than we are in right now.

Ultimately I’m a big believer that Africans are responsible for Africa- Barrack Obama.
