Arabs and Africans - the myths

Sub saharan Africa is still going through the realities of the scramble for Africa. Every region looks up to the present colonial master. They speak the language and practise the customs of the colonial master.

There's a lack of cooperation with one another because of this inability to communicate. Many sub saharan Africans are proud to be told how 'westernised' they are and would be proud to show how good they are at speaking portuguese, english, french or spanish, but don't know Swahili or Arabic, the languages that their ancestors spoke before slavery and colonisation.

With the immense mineral resources in sub saharan Africa, European colonialists are not keen to let go. Any other culture that comes near Africa is denounced in snide remarks as racist. When the Chinese started to get involved in Africa, stories appeared in various media claiming Chinese are racist towards Africans. Though the success of Africans in China shows this to be a grand lie.

More disturbingly, with Arabs, who are geographically closest with Africans, we've been fed this rubbish about how the word for African is Abid, which means slave. You check deeper and find that Abid means worshipper and servant (in relation to god), so Abdillah or Abdullah means servant of God. The supposedly perjorative meaning that Abid is a bad name for Africans in the middle east and north Africa came from an individual called Meyer, who works for the State Department. One can guess at his origins from his name.

This narrative has fitted in with the neo-con imposed world view of how a certain ethnic group, ie, Arabs, we out to destroy everyone on earth, and it was the duty of all subscribers to a Judeo-Christian world view to keep the world safe.

Now with the Libya crisis, with greedy mercenaries from sub saharan Africa killing Libyans, the western media is trying to portray a racist problem between Arabs and Africans. From my experience, this isn't true.

If anything, whereas Christianity encourages tribalism and disunity, Islam actually makes people blind to ethnicity. The solidarity between all of Africa, north, south, east and west, would have brought all dictators in Africa tumbling down before now. But thanks to the false narrative of a supposed hatred between Africans and Arabs, we are all controlled by evil, greedy men and their families, while all of our resources go to the enjoyment of foreigners.

The revolution is yet to spread south ward as sub saharan Africans have yet to get off their knees and break off their shackles.

One of the great outcomes of the revolution spreading through the middle east and north Africa is that the courage we have witnessed come down to sub saharan Africa, people stop listening to colonial myths, cooperate with their nearest neighbours and use natural resources for the good of the area and the people within it, instead of benefitting slave master American/European colonialists and their hair-dyed dictator friends in Africa.

Apologies to the Libyan people

The most disgusting reports about the tragic events in Libya are those about sub saharan Africans going in to kill Libyans because Gaddaffi paid them.

This mad and evil creature, Gaddaffi, has trained so many Nigerian soldiers and Ghanaian ones. Coups in Bourkina Faso and Liberia have been linked to his evil name (this could explain the mercenaries speaking French).

Once the people of Libya prevail, they should completely destroy the Nigerian Army as well as those of Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Bourkina Faso, Liberia and any other countries found to have been associating with Gaddaffi and his even madder son.

The UN should meanwhile speak to all the ECOWAS countries and ask them to control and keep track of their citizens as this sort of disgusting episode must not be allowed to happen again.

You have to marvel as sub saharan Africans who cannot be bothered to organise their own countries, and then go to attack those who legitimately seek freedom.

I apologise to the good people of Libya for the actions of morally bankrupt and disgusting sub saharan African mercenaries.

Yoweri Museveni says protests would never happen in Uganda

Sadly, he tells the truth.

While North Africa burns, sub saharan Africa remains silent. Africans below the Sahara can only dream of the infrastructure you find in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Bahrain. Their governments are a billion times more corrupt and more brutal than Mubarak & Gaddaffi put together. But no protests. Just prayers for a better tomorrow while they look forward to meeting someone called Jesus when they die after their mostly unfulfilled and pointless lives.

Museveni and his party of 'born again' Christians in Africa stay in power as their people are slaves to the most poisonous philosophy known to man.

Christianity was introduced to sub saharan Africa to enable the slave trade by making slaves eternally grateful to their captors for saving their souls. The colonial masters also found this religion handy as it meant that the colonised strived to be like their oppressors and in fact ape them in lifestyle and were grateful that through colonialism, their souls had been saved.

Now a worse version of Christianity has taken hold of the minds of black Africans. The odious prosperity gospel, where people think god only blesses them if they come across some money by any means necessary. So voters in sub saharan Africa sell their voters' cards to corrupt politicians for $2 or less, and wonder why their lives remain miserable. They marvel at the scenes from Egypt and Tunisia but can never attain the freedom now spreading across the Arab world.

Till they learn to stop paying tithes in the hope of 'salvation'. Till they start to think of their lives before death, instead of dreaming of life after death with a historical figure called Jesus, who was simply a Jewish Rabbi who wanted people to live decently, and not the deity presented to Africans by slave masters and colonialists who simply wanted to dominate and confuse them.
