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.
