That's Why The Youth Must Take Over The Reigns Of Africa

It's not a matter of reporting abuses done African employees at expatriates' companies to authorities and law enforcement agents, it's about calling for those in authorities to with humility rest and give the reigns of Africa to the patriotic youth who feels nostalgia for the blossom of beauties at the dawn of independence just over half a century ago.

Our forebears of independence struggled at the expense of their lives, and the subsequent emancipation gave the crop of current leaders in Africa hope and better environment to explore and achieve something better and best for themselves, thinking those who will come after them would be given such a level playing field.

After enjoying all such largess from the independence heroes, they've now closed the doors of progress to my generation, the youth of today, the under 40s, the under 30s. The hopeless African youth today either brave the perilous journey and sojourn hungrily on the desert, forced into rickety boats by crooks operating at the seas of Libya, dreaming to reach Europe and America, or stay at home for expatriates to in the name of creating jobs for us makes us their slaves.

Sex becomes the passing test to get employment by our women. The workplace becomes grounds for torture and dehumanisation of our Africanism.

Our leaders look on unconcerned, the little attempt they make is to "plead" with the expatriates to give better treatment to their employees.

Very painful it's if indeed you're a patriotic African that has experienced in person or seen another person go through such mortifying inhumane treatment at the hands of expatriate employers in Africa.

To mention but a few, a woman was doused in a blended chillies for a minor mistake at an expatriate owned restaurant in Accra. One was forced to drink from a lavatory bucket. Others are chained and whipped. Poor workplace practices, peanut wages, insults and comparable-to-pigs' accommodation is what's not worth mention here to prick emotions of the numerous victims of such devilish treatment by expatriate employers in Africa.

*What at all pact has today's African leader gone into with the whiteman to sell us out this shameful way?*

Everywhere you go in Africa, the youth complain of lack of jobs.

Meanwhile, our land is blessed with all the needed resources that these whitemen come in to exploit and enslave our people in the name of employment. This is after they've siphoned out almost freely our resources in petroleum, gold, diamond, uranium.......to build beguiling "Paradise" in their home countries. One that seduce our teeming unemployed youths to travel to by "all means" without any care for the consequences.

*We can't live under this tyranny anymore!*
Kwame Nkrumah and the other freedom fighters in Africa did not redeem us to meet this current suffocating challenges. Africa needs real independence. The freedom that will stem brain drain and encourage creativity that builds indigenous companies. A freedom that will give our kids the best of education far from indoctrination and brainwashing. A freedom that will make unappealing the gaslighting that compels us to denounce our Africanism and christine ourselves with imported names, bleach off our black skin, hungry for exotic food.

The spirit of the old fighters are calling for return to the old path they paved, the one that has been left weedy and we've left for this boulevard that ends in a lake of fire - neocolonialism.

We can build again in Africa. Let's retire the status quo and with positive defiance rival our constitution and take the reigns of Africa.

To you I've spoken, hear my words in patriotic ears, the youth of Africa.

*Africa needs a rebuilding from the wreckage!*
*Long live Africa!*
