How Africans Are Wasting Their Time On Internal Than External Issues Destroying The Continent

Ex-Ghanaian leader, J.J. Rawlings

After each article or every news, I like to read some of the comments that follow. One of the articles which caught my attention today is ‘Fredrick William Akwasi Akuffo, posted by ‘mgh.’

The third comment was from K. Amoako, which reads “From the time J. J Rawlings executed this gentleman and his colleagues, has Ghana been better? What has he Rawlings himself achieved since, apart from increased corruption, million bowls of "Yoke Gari" and sleepless nights???....GOD IS THE SUPREME JUDGE. May their blood rest on heads of Rawlings and his family till their Tenth Generation."

Based on this comment, I decided to add my voice. In fact, there is an element of truth in that statement made by K. Amoako. The killing of those people by Rawlings didn’t change Ghana in a particular way, if it’s because of corruption that Rawlings killed them then corruption at the moment in Ghana has overflowed its banks with impunity.

He who hasn’t committed any sin in his or her life must be the first to throw a stone at a sinner. You can never find any because we are all sinners in different ways. As a matter of fact, Rawlings kill them because he was scared that if those accused come out of jail in the future they will kill him.

Ghanaians shouldn’t forget that those Rawlings accused initially, Afrifa wasn’t included but then fear gripped him and he extended his grip on Afrifa to be executed. While Ghanaians are attacking home politicians with insults, I need to make it clear that external factors are destroying Africa more than internal issues but only a few can often see this to speak about it.

The biggest threat Africa faces at the moment is not their politicians or political parties but the squatting on our properties by foreign aliens, such as the US military. It is written on the internet that “If you want to hide anything from a black man hide it in a book.”

Frankly speaking, if Africans really have time to read, they would have kicked out American military from African soil long time ago. How can Ghana welcome a country referring Africa as ‘Shithole nation?’ How can Africa welcome a government responsible for Aids and Ebola which have decimated Africa and ruined the economy?

I am, therefore, believing that Africans don’t know because it is hidden in a book. If Africans read enough, they should have known by now that the US government is responsible for Aids and Ebola in Africa. So why do we have to welcome such murderers into our countries? I can't stop laughing anytime I read about people in favour of military presence in Ghana or Africa.

Before Ghana or Africa generally will become successful, political parties must stop attacking and insulting each other and concentrate on external issues because that is what is killing Africa more than internal issues.

Tomorrow, I will post an Article about Ebola for Africans to know that even though the death of Ebola virus has subsided, Africa is sitting on a time bomb because healed Ebola victims still carry dangerous remnants in the body system which can trigger or erupt again like a volcano.
