The arrogance of Africans stinks

In German schools and universities (education in Germany is free for locals or holders of a permanent resistance permit) cleaners and students have rights. We, lecturers, don't advise our students how to leave the lecture hall behind in good order the cleaning lady informs the school principal and complaints. The principal will confront the teacher the lecturer his students. When lecturers leave school and see a cleaning lady he greets her nicely. Hamburg has started a campaign to remind us academics to say "Thank You" to the people that help us during the mornings to lecture in a clean classroom.

Students have a right to question our marking system and even can take us to court for that. If they disagree with our style of lecturing they have a right to complain to the principal and we must explain ourselves. In Africa especially in Ghana, this is unheard of. In Germany, we know we all depend on each other no matter our education or financial level.

Olaf Scholz, German Chancellor, has no house only an apartment. Angela Merkel, the former German Chancellor has no house only an apartment. When they travel either with 3 cars, train or plane. In Africa, even a small politician thinks of himself to be special with big SUVs unheard of in Germany. Every African Minister or President has his own house to demonstrate his position not in my white richer society.

Medical doctors treat you as a patient with respect in Africa with arrogance especially in Ghana. They had to finance their studies believing that they as doctors are special people.

100.000 Ghanaians live in Germany 40% of which are in Hamburg. 80% of black Africans in Hamburg are Ghanaians. It is significant to observe unlike other foreign nationals they have no interest to progress in life. While other nationals take up the opportunity to learn and venture into entrepreneurship to open restaurants, and food stores or enter the academic world. Ghanaians can mostly be found as cleaners, handymen, bus drivers, or other lower-paid jobs.

When Africans learn to depend on each other for national success nation-building is completed and progress guaranteed.
