{UAH} African leaders are not volunteers
BY ROBERT SHAKA
I told them that society has given me my chances to opportunity and I have no grudges against the World.
They laughed.
"Nze ndideko. Kati n'abalala bafuneko akakisa balye" I added.
Africa needs to instill the virtue of gratefulness in the core of its soul.
Someone works for government for 33 years. The public pays for a decent home for your family. Your children are sent to the best schools around the World and tax payers money used to acquire everything you desire including peasants' land.
And what does society benefit from all these investments in your family? Your children get married and produce grand children who also live off tax payers money from pampers, milk and everything untill adulthood. What is society paying all this for in return?
But you are still ungrateful to society. You violate the constitution of the country like it's your old nursery school exercise book. You behave like you literary hate the country that has given you so much than you will ever be able to give back.
The African soul lacks the virtue of a grateful heart. Some of you have had your children go to Harvard, Oxford, or whatever but what have they come back with? What value have they added on society?
Other than coming back with graduer, getting political appointments to head military installations, public institutions to perpetuate the same parasitic system. What are their public views on what their parents do to the very country that has given so much to them.
Poor souls have grown up with a silver spoon in their mouth and the same sense of entitlement like their parents. They are quiet like aristocrats and endorse everything their parents do to a hapless society they have worked so hard to impoverish.
African leaders are not volunteers. The poor society they presided over works so hard to sustain their exotic life styles and for what? Empty talk, killed dreams, empty promises and good speeches in foreign languages in front of their foreign partners.
We have failed to transform these peasant economies into industrial economies because we lack concentration & an ideological mindset geared towards solving the fundamental problems of the societies we preside over. Before we implement a manifesto or national development plan we are distracted with the desire to stay in power by adulterating the constitution. We have failed to provide jobs to youths who are literary dying to supply their labor? 32 years we are more obsessed with predating on a society we offer so little in total disregard.
We hate our societies because deep in our scarred souls is a void. The African must save himself from the pangs of early material deprivation that has built anger deep in his gut all through his life. He must also save his children who have a sense of entitlement thanks to his parents' insatiable greed to compensate for the past in order to balance society.
There must come a time when we all must actively work to heal inside so we are balanced citizens who care about the country.
