ECONOMIC REVOLUTION



If only citizens as voters, pressurized governments to make multinational companies more responsible and to protect local interests, as well as ensure that local products find their way to international markets, we could reap the benefits of globalization.

Africa and its citizens are behind in international competitiveness, economic vibrancy, enterprise of its citizens and political stability hence, we more than ever need protection from international brands and businesses. What is the hope for the average Africa becoming an international entrepreneur if the Cocacolas and Apples of this world are given unlimited access into our markets; I’m guessing as you would that it would lead to the death of many local firms. We are simply not as strong as the “Economic Sharks”.

Its been mooted in globally that transnationals and multinationals play a great role in influencing the policies the host nations in which they exist by manipulating politicians in developing countries, bribing their ways through the corridors of power, thus making sure that their brands possess a monopoly of the market. Its funny that us indigenous Africans find ourselves bound by the whims and preferences of corporations that see us as just an extension of their markets. We need to show them something they've never seen, an economic and manufacturing never witnessed before, we need to get out of our political and economic apathy, care for the villages as much as we care for the “flashy cities with the street lights”. Invest home more, create local substitutes for international brands, our very own beverage for every bottle of coca-cola, our detergent for every Omo, our bar of soap for Imperial leather, and hibiscus wine for every bottle Moet. Instead of letting tears fall and complaining of the crimes, and poverty in Africa, will the elite Africans please stand up and support their continent? I’m talking about a revolution and I’m part of it, we work hard and deserve better, with a little more knowledge and awareness, we will run our economies as we care not for “those with their fingers on nuclear buttons”.

What are we here for if we will give up our rights without a fight, no need to cry because they only made us stronger. I don’t want to live my life “with my arms stretched out”, I was born close to the source of the Nile, in the midst of hills and mountains, my ancestors tamed lions and scorpions, I know my genes are great and I’ve failed the warriors who went before me; so this day I the lost find my way back setting the stage to show the heroes past something the universe will never forget.

Truth be told, the politicians are clueless in helping us. The neglect we have shown politics has resulted in inept individuals and ignorant fellows taking up the reins of African nations. The intellects and manufacturers have forgotten the impact of good and bad governance to their efforts. We have worked hard as hell for our chance to survive on this continent. We haven't lost our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters for other races to come take our homes. Militarily, economically, spiritually and intellectually, we will defeat every invader and the sellouts among us.

Its safe to say we’ve been lost since the invasion that destroyed our heritage, history, thought patterns and the course of our lives. We are in a strange place, the gap between we and the colonial nations is widening by the day, we keep chasing their shadows; sometimes we lay on the earth and cry because the confusion is disheartening, a maze so lunatic, it’s inevitable we will make mistakes.

The real is back, time has come, it starts now, we aren’t aiming too high infact we have aimed too low. They have worked so hard to keep our minds dumb; we snapping out of that. Don’t let them take your soul, one thing is for sure, we will overcome. Make our team win. Crunch time. This for Africans who want to live their dreams.

Nobody sees your vision till it becomes a best seller. We are caught between coming out of our personal dreams of coming out of collective poverty and achieving collective “Uhuru” for the generations to come. It really is a great task that we must complete. There’s beauty in the struggle. Compared to others we are blessed. The good news is that we’ve come a long way, the bad news is that we still have a long way to go. Lets ask for strength.


Globally, its best we understand that a strong and conscious Africa will not give away resources as cheap as we do today. The world needs us less than we need the world. Hear my words, I’m no doomsayer but we would be damned forever if we don’t wake and work for us.  

IMF, the World bank, Chinese, German and french financial houses as well as the Paris club have never had our welfare of development as part of their objectives; in the days of old, slaves wore chains and walked around in rags; in this 21st century, slaves bear debts and have no say to the futures of their children and nations.

Africa has been conned to accepting debt as a way of life and the only way to survive. Our minerals have been mortgaged, tax collection, our sovereignty, independence, economic policies, cultures and tradition etc. Our leaders have been deceived and misled and rushed into this new economic situation that we do not understand and we were not meant to comprehend. We were given political independence but they kept the economies to themselves. We never knew how it worked, we never understood the real meaning of economic power. Our educational system is meant to create employees and civil servants, our mental state has been remolded to create a group of people who would accept without a fuss the western ideologies, policies and African dependency mindset.

We need to break loose of these chains, we need lead an economic revolution that would cater for the needs of the African. We need to change without concern to sanctions, treaties, legalities; we need to be swift and unforgiving in leading an economic change for us. With no respect and fear to the needs of the so called developed countries, we must be really free, we must be our own continent. Like the Asian Tigers have shown us, if we are ready to suffer for a brighter future, we will hand over a new continent to the unborn. @Kev_Diggy

Its About Time - Kev_Diggy



Its about time we stand up, get these people off our backs, throw their game plans into chaos, break these chains enroute to destinys’ path. We royal we deserve more. We taking it back.
It hasn’t broken us, its making us; ive never really seen magic, but I’ve witnessed miracles. Miracles are made; I see a crown damn right I will grind for it; for my dreams, I’m still running laps for it; stones thrown at us, we used to build palaces; we Africans have survived the worst pain and abuse among the races on Earth; it only made us stroner, its about that time we stood up.

Its about that time we put the joy in our ancestors eyes, let them know they were not thrown into the seas for nothing, flogged to death, raped and abused, tortured with no mercy, murdered without reason; this generation of kings and queens must rise above all men and claim their throne. Time is off essence, the preaching is done, time is now.

We were written out of history books, aborted from time; the world has responded to our hospitality with hatred and anger, gave us pagan religions, ridiculed and killed our cultures, called them uncivilsed and fed us thrash as lifestyles. We are so close to extinction like being hooked up to a respirator but hurray; this generation has come and we will act. Congolese will walk free some day and own its own resources, dictators supported by their Mornarchs and corporates abroad will fall along with their masters, Nigeria will find stability, liberians will cry no more, citizens of FreeTown will trully be free and Egypt will rediscover new civilization and lead the world once more into Uhuru.

Haven't we proved it time and again? Trade and Business, Politics and Society, Sports and Entertainment, Rhythm and Poetry, Science and Invention, Intellectual brilliance mixed with our culture and tradition. The world doesn't need to fear us, extract from us, cheat, deceive, tell lies, enslave us, beware of us; we can share, let the world come with open arms and we shall accept them. The more we are pushed to the realization of our strength, the worse doomsday will be. No enslavement stays forever, slaves always become stronger than their masters, realize their realities and design an escape so deadly, the masters lose more than they ever gained. Africa has come close to that time. Economic Realities.

Africans have really tried, brainwashed by fake friends, following bad trends, false leadership, heart broken and deserted in times of need, brothers killing brothers, hunger, pagan religions, where is God? Whats our collective future? Are we doomed forever? Where is justice? Where is equality? Where is God? How did this happen to us? Our Ancestors made us now how do we repay them? Its about that time? We offended no one, we really do not deserve our todays' reality, its only wise we change it.

What must we actually do? Everyone ahead must grab the one behind, the stronger assist the strong, leadership must be us all, we must envision a vibrant future of what our future can be tomorrow. We must live inspired as visioners, the power of our collective vision must be without greed, not for one but for all; the dream, that magnificent tomorrow; we must recreate our African reality.

Time has come to ring it into our younger generation, the next generation must be involved in our Africa to come. Generations are becoming smarter by the decades. Its now never too late to enlist them into this dream and get them to buy into it. Generation next, its that time to stand up; we mUst get the oppressors off our backs.

Salutations to the Asian Tigers, they’ve made done something right; they’ve earned the right to be considered. Their self esteem as a collective has never been higher; trends predict the tigers will roar louder and lead the jungle with time.

I feel a crown awaits our generation if we only care to reach for it. What is life if not the legacy we leave behind, the melody of songs sang in honour of our deeds, poetry with names like Lumumba, malcomn X, the marleys, Gadaffis, the Ancestors who fought against slavers and invaders, books, Articles written of us as it is of Marcus Garvey, Amaru Shakur, King Jaja of Opobo, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Buddha; these legends are dead; Africa and the world needs a refill.


Make no mistake, we got a lot to prove, why are we the ones who have refused to evolve, we have been misrepresented by low lives, clowns, thieves, killers and destroyers; members of our race who really don’t car about us. This must be a real group plan of action with we knowing that us the living might not be here to reap the harvest of seeds sown today.

Determination of President Kagame had made Rwanda a model nation on the suffice of this earth, President Barack Obama was intellectually sound as the president of the strongest country on earth, Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Professor Asavia Wandira and other trail blazers of our recent history have showed us living icons that its possible to evolve to a new Africa.

Whats our moral code? The African brand? The eventual union of African states in forming one big economic and political bloc is a good start; we just need to make sure that it plays to our best benefits and not Western and Asian. It has always been a good idea to unify, we have always called for a sentimental brotherhood within all Africans. It must come down to explaining and taking information down to the grassroots of all Africans and explaining to them that whereas before now, we say a Tunisian as a foreigner, that Tunisian has become our Cousin brother and country man, where a west African saw a Rwandan as a far away east African, we could just as well see Rwandans and Tanzanian live beside us in Accra as a cousin brother and country man. Its possible for Africa to succeed together, we can use our intellect and belief system to rise and win global negotiating situations.

How Nutty Neithan conquered Fille’s garden from MC Kats

Nutty Neithan
When Nutty Neithan was composing songs like “Muli muki”, many thought, he was just playing his age. However, we have reliably been informed that all along he has been composing such songs after digging, weeding and harvesting from Fille’s garden previously “officially” tiled by MC Kats.

“Nutty has been chewing things. All I can tell you now is that he is so scared of the retaliation he might receive considering MC Kats’ connections in the entertainment industry”, a source informed us.

MC Kats is said to be bitterly disappointed that all the efforts in making Fille his celebrity wife have been in vain. Apparently, Nutty Neithan is making the most of his new found affair and the two seem to have moved on with their new relationships. A source claims Fille  has been dissing MC Kats’ farming skills claiming that Nutty knows too well get the fertile soils irrigated.
“The chic (Fille) became so crazy about the guy (Nutty). MC Kats was so protective, abusive at times and felt that he “owned’ her. Nutty made her feel something she’s never felt before”, the source concluded.
According to rumours, MC Kats might consider taking a DNA test after it emerged Nutty and Fille have been seeing each other for a longer time.

Meanwhile, MC Kats too is said to have moved on and signed Ray Signature.

Gambia Decides: President Jammeh loses election to former security guard, Adama Barrow, after 22 years in power

Adama Narrow (pictured right) has been declared winner of Gambia Presidential election after defeating President Yahya Jammeh, who has been in power since 1994.
Adama garnered who was a former security guard 263,515 votes while Jammeh won 212,090 votes, Alieu Momar Njie, head of electoral commission announced in the capital Banjul on Friday.
Barrow, a property developer, will become the county's third head of state since independence in 1962. He once worked as a security guard at a branch of Argos in London.

Mr Jammeh, who came to power in 1994, as a 29-year-old army officer following a military has agreed to accept defeat later today, said Alieu Momarr Njie. A video of his speech has already been recorded and is being edited.

Before announcing the final result, Mr Njie appealed for calm as the country entered unchartered waters.
"It was very unique that Jammeh would accept defeat after controlling the Gambia for so long," Njie said.
Jammeh had cut off the internet and international phone calls before the polls (read here). He also banned protests and refused to comment on whether he would concede if he lost.
