OUR CONTAFRIKAVALUES UNDER SIEGE

OUR CONTAFRIKAVALUES UNDER SIEGE or THE CRISIS OF HOW CONTAFRIKANS HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO PREFER FOREIGN VALUES TO THEIR OWN CONTAFRIKAVALUES,

But today, the majority of "modern" Continental Afrikans are fast replacing their Continental AfrikaValues with Foreign values characterized by living for things instead of living for each other, selfishness, accumulation of more and more materials things instead of sharing what they have with others as I-ME-MYSELF People with I-ME-MYSELF ways of life, thinking, living and being .

Instead of placing their value on people, they are becoming things-oriented.

Living has become to them perpetual struggling for things which they never have enough of .

The more they have, the more they want and the more they spend 99% of their time chasing things, the less time they have to enjoy them .

And the more they have, the more they isolate themselves from their people and communities in their gated communities with nobody but Things to share their Material things with .

In this way, the accumulation of money and material things is becoming more and more the way of life for our Foreignized , Westernized and Materialized Africans from the top down .

Any means to get what they need and want is used.
And which also means, the more they have the more they need and want and the less satisfied they become.

Instead of honoring, practicing and enjoying their Continental AfrikaValues of living for each other in selflessness, generosity, honesty, sincerity, and kindness vis-a-vis all people, they get to the top of the ladder of their material success only to discover that success in life is more than getting this and getting that at all cost and by all means.

Besides, to the "modern" Continental Afrikan imprisoned in foreign/alien boundaries and states, systems, institutions, the one-time Continental AfrikaValues of honesty, sincerity, trust, hospitality, solidarity, sharing, cooperation, love etc. are becoming a thing of the past.

In their place, we find adoption of foreign/alien values that exist to keep today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans ignorant of and uprooted from the Knowledge, Power and Benefit of their Ancient/Traditional Continental AfrikaValue System that has worked for us for three million Years in Ancient Term and Ten Thousands in Modern Term .

That is why in most of our cities and capitals left over by the chaos and destruction of colonialism, traditional Continental AfrikaValues have no place.

Instead of living for one another as we used to do in our Traditional World , in our Today's Foreign created cities and capitals of our Neo-colonial Afrika, more and more Foreignized Africans with Foreign classs of ways of life are now are now living only for themselves , separately and alone.

Instead of sharing what they have with others as a Way of Life, they are now living selfishly, thinking only of their pockets and care less about the fate or plight of the Bulk of their people they are supposed to protect and take care of .

Our Traditional Continental AfrikaValues of eating together from the same place as a sign of love and togetherness has been replaced with eating alone and separately.

Drinking from the same calabash as a sign of trust in one another is being replaced with drinking foreign glasses and separately.

Distrust of one another is fast replacing trust of one another.

Dishonesty in dealings with one another is becoming the norm instead of honesty.

Corruption, cheating, taking advantage of each other, no more caring about the plight of the needy around us as long as we have “ made” it in our gated communities and exploitation of Africans by Africans at all levels of Government and Life in our today's Continental Afrika , are now a common thing to do as a way of surviving in our colonial/neocolonial, foreign, strange, callous and uncaring cities and capitals made in the images of our colonial masters city and capital jungle of "modern" Continental Afrika.

Children now think they are adult or know better than their parents , Adults are now behaving like children . Men want to be women ,. Women want to be men . Parents are no more parents. Marriage is no more marriage. Divorce rate is now higher than marriage rate, Women now prefer career to having children and by the time they make it in their career, they discover it is too late to have children and spend the rest of their lives chasing after children they now discover to be priceless and nothing can replace or take their places in their empty lives . The motto now is , Survival of the Fittest . Children are no more children. Parents are no more parents. Women are no more women. Men are no more men. Elders are fast losing their place in the society. Money not people is fast becoming the most important value people treasure and will do anything to have.

In this way, traditional Continental Afrikan spiritual, religious, political, economic and social values are only found and practised in the traditional world of Continental Afrika.

Here, our today's 70% Traditional Afrikans still do not believe the colonial lie that our values are "backward “ and must be replaced by Foreign Values of I-ME-Myself .

They still refuse to accept the colonial lie that Western/alien values are better and superior to Continental Afrikan values.

So, while the Foreignized part of Continental Afrika is fast replacing their Continental AfrikaValues with Western/alien values, the traditional Continental Afrika still holds on to their values that have held them together in unity, justice, peace, cooperation, and love for each other.

While our today's "cities" and "capitals" are being daily invaded by crimes of all kinds, our traditional areas are relatively safer than "modern" Continental Afrika.

And as long as Continental AfrikaValues continue to find growth, protection and immortality in traditional Continental Afrika, it stands to reasons that no matter their rapid demise in our today's Foreignized , alien, callous , selfish and unfeeling cities and capitals, the fight to recover and practice and benefit once again from the Power, Pride, Dignity and Security of our Continental AfrikaValues in all their totality and enrichment is not only a must but inevitable for all Continental Afrikans worthy of the name.
