Expensive shit part 2


https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jan/24/no-privacy-school-respite-mozambique-water-crisis

In my first contribution I talked about why Africans leave the continent. The link above is a link to an article that The Guardian placed online right after the shit-hole comment of Donald Trump. I don't think this was an coincidence but THAT is not what I want to focus on.
What want to focus on is why is it that our so-called leaders take the time to protest a factual though crude assessment.

Again don't get me wrong but I am sure that the president of Mozambique has no problems whatsoever to find a quiet clean place to relieve himself.

Yes that's because he hangs out in the presidential palace I have no idea whether that is the old or new one built by the Chinese (and not for free) recently. 
Now I don't want to resort to cheap effects by negative imagery but isn't it strange that people in Mozambique die of water-borne diseases due to poor sanitation yet the president and his cronies have to put with humble digs like those shown in this link?

Mozambique is not alone a few months ago I had the pleasure of being shown a certain neighbourhood of Nairobi on Twitter accompanied by some blistering comments by the poster. I almost wept not because of sadness but shame and anger. I don't know Mozambique well nor do I know Kenya but there is a pattern here. An African pattern.

Forget the toilet issues for a moment. This is about mentality. 
I live on and off in Africa since 2006. My first prolonged stretch was from 09/2006 till 01/2008 and it gave my ample opportunity to reflect on why things are they way they are in Africa.
Mentality I said I mean mindset or outlook by this. 
When I left to establish myself in Senegal in September 2006 I didn't go there to show what little money I had saved. I went to Africa to re-invent myself. Even though I never learned any local language I made sure I would eat what the locals ate, drink what the locals ate and move around like they do. In Dakar that meant loads of mini-buses and city buses. I did not necessarily enjoy the mini-bus experience, I still don't anywhere (I am in Asia now) but I coped.
I was 37 at that time and even though I say it myself I am an emotional man but not given to extremism. One experience though made me understand that any man or woman has a breaking point when it comes to accepting situations. Here I am waiting for a bus in the sweltering heat of Dakar getting more and more agitated by the noises and the traffic that just didn't move for what seemed a lifetime but must have been two hours. I could actually see the bus but it couldn't move. It was stuck like everything else on wheels. 

Anyway suddenly I hear the sound of blaring sirens and I thought it was an ambulance trying to get through but it was a politician escorted by two police men on motorbikes. The traffic was parting like the Red Sea for Moses while this dickhead was probably just going to see his "on the side wife" for a quickie, then the Red Sea closed once more. When seeing this I felt the raging urge to buy a bottle of car petrol. You can buy those for like $1.50 add a wick, light the wick and then throw the bottle at the smug mofo in his government wheels. I was absolutely consumed by rage: I could picture myself gleefully break-dancing around the car while it was up in flames with the guy screaming and no-one able to help him. You like toast for lunch nah?

No money for upgrading your country's roads except in those areas where you live or only for those roads that can take you out of the capital to your house on the beach or in the countryside but hey at least you got an escort and people willing to make way for you... No money for quality and sustainable public transport but I kid you not money and time planning for a city for the political elite so that they could take care of the needs of the population in peace and quiet, undisturbed by noise, fouls smells and 24/7 power-cuts...

It was then and there that I understood the "fakery" of our leaders. They talk about being on equal terms with the EU when they meet at AU summits but it's a public secret that the EU is paying the budget to keep the AU somewhat operational. Now you could wonder why this matters. Well it matters because if I pay for something it better be good. If I pay an employee he works for me and I expect a job well-done. Well the AU is working for the EU. If anybody thinks otherwise he or she needs to go to the AU building (built by the Chinese and NOT for free) take the elevator to the top-floor or the roof and jump head first just to clear his/her head from the shit that has acquired too much space where brains should have been.

Our African leaders are programmed to sabotage Africa.

The French are known to push these capers on us. 
Take Blaise Diagne a black African careerist from Senegal who recruited his own to get slaughtered in the trenches in France to get ahead himself. He married a white woman called Marie-Odette Villain and when you look at her you know why her last name was exactly that. (You will need a french dictionary). Nevertheless according to Blaise himself he had now reached the pinnacle of assimilation.

Now the first President of Senegal Leopold Senghor was a prince and was chosen to study in France. He later fought in the french army as a private soldier 2nd class (despite his superior education he could not be an officer and claimed to be in the french resistance once the French lost the Battle of France.
He was groomed to become the first president of Senegal but to make sure he worked well the French pushed a white secretary upon him and Leopold could not resist. He divorced his African wife who couldn't understand him and married his "Jeanne". Exit Genitte Eboué.

I am not here to judge a man who claimed to be French before anything else. I mean if an African can make statements like that we can expect anything. It doesn't stop here. The next president of Senegal also married a white woman but this fact could not save him when he decided to stray away from the clutches of France. He must have seen the truth when one day he woke up to his wife, saw that she aged pretty badly and decided to redeem himself but alas he had the temerity to parachute his son in power and the French wouldn't have that. Of course that is A-grade bovine manure.
The presidents of Togo and Gabon (ELF and TOTAL anyone?) are "sons of" and the French couldn't care less: it was just so that President Wade of Senegal took away lucrative key businesses from French companies like Bolloré and that was just not "criquet". Needless to say that he is now without employment.

To finish the high-roller swirling theme: the President of Ivory Coast Alassane Ouattara also has a wife who just happens to be white courtesy of the French. In fact she found her Mr. Goodbar thanks to the French Secret Service or so rumour has it.

OK let's go back to mentality.
I don't know any white European statesman or woman with a black wife/husband. Please do not start the Harry and Megan shit with me because I will find you and slap you silly. Mentality...  I am not against swirling... MLK swirled, Malcolm X swirled it happens but when swirling becomes a WMD as it is in Africa we need to understand why and how. 

I just explained how and why but in short our brightest are brought to study in Europe/US where they immediately forget why they came in the first place (study and bringing back knowledge/expertise) because they can't remove their heads from between them lily-white titties and that's just what goes on above the waist. 

Now when they come back to Africa they still got that swirling mentality with them and this goes further than coveting white women.
No... nothing African is good anymore accept maybe the food but even then it will be eaten with mustard (moutarde). So French...

Forget our leaders for a moment even though they are responsible for this:
Black Africans making fun of other blacks because they do not master French as "they should". 
Black Africans going to schools/universities using schoolbooks printed in France published in France that do not do us any service.
Black Africans being exposed to French television and radio 24/7.

Everything linked to the former colonizer who actually never left.

In Senegal the water company (SDE) is owned by the French (Eranove) 
In Senegal telecommunication is mainly owned by the French
Senegal's army is equipped with french hand me downs
I even suspect that the power company SENELEC is french-owned (it used to be until 2001)

The three major banks, SGBS, CBAO and BICIS are french-owned and I could continue.
In fact all national banks of former French West-Africa have to report to the French national bank and whatever money or gold reserves they have stay in France.

This situation of political but especially economic dependency exists all over former French Africa and that includes Madagascar. The same goes for former British possessions and I am sure the  Portuguese and the Spanish are not faraway either.

Mentality: we are convinced we can't do anything without the guidance of the white man. Our minds are corrupted and filled with self-hate: we force our own to cross deserts and seas to go to a most-sunken place but at least we speak French or English like the Queen.

That's why we have no right to complain when a fomented turd calls our countries shit-holes. We need to clean-out our minds first and educate ourselves properly. I have never seen a Chinese president or Japanese Prime Minister show up at the White House or Palais de Versailles with a white woman.
Again I have nothing against swirling but it's their mindset that differs from ours. They (the East Asians) took the expertise and knowledge only, and made it into something superior. Now look at us and weep.

  2. Yes I am sorry about that and being late with my reply. I didn't even know people actually pay attention to what I write.
    Part 1 was always there but apparently I had no idea that I did not file the blog properly. I guess you already it but now at least you will see it in the right sequence.

    Thanks.
