There Are No Leaders In Africa. Only Managers For Europe. Managers For Asia. Managers For America. A Leader Is Supposed To Take You Forward. Do You See Africa Progressing?
Africa Has Everything It Needs To Be The Most Powerful Continent On The Planet. All The Resources Are Here. The Youngest Population On The Planet Is Here.
Yet With All These Young Minds, resources, we are not Going Anywhere Because Africa Has Absolutely NO Leadership Whatsoever. The People You Call Presidents.
Ministers & All These Other Fancy Names Are Here To Manage The Country On Behalf Of Western Governments. Eastern Governments. That’s Why Africa Will Always Be Poor.
Nothing Here Is Meant To Benefit You. Your Gold Is Taken To Europe. Your Diamonds. Your Oil. Everything You Have Benefits Foreign Economies. If Africa Didn’t Exist.
There’d Be No United States. Black People Built America For Free. If Africa Didn’t Exist All These So Called Royal Families Would Be Regular People.
Whatever Power These Countries Have Comes From Exploiting Us. Our Cultural Symbols Are In Their Museums. Our Natural Resources Are In Their Hands.
Our History Is In Their Libraries. Our Inventions Are In Their Names. Everything Has Been Taken From Africa. Our Stories Became Their Religions.
Our Music Became Their Entertainment. Africa Hasn’t Had Leaders Since Thomas Sankara. Patrice Lumumba. Chris Hani. Samora Machel.

All We Have Now Are Puppets That Are Paid To Shut Their Mouth & Pretend That Voting Makes A Difference.
