China is not colonizing africa.they are building dams,power plants,roads,stadiums,hospitals,rails etc.back in my village in kenya,the chinese are paving roads i never thought would be built in my life time,i come from a rural farming community and those folks for sure will greatly benefit from that road to ferry their farm produce easily and faster to the market,i remember when it rained, using those roads became a nightmare,they virtually became impassable.folks had to result to donkeys to ferry the produce,shooting up the cost,now with the chinese in town,it will be a smooth ride all the way to the market,boosting productivity and pulling people out of poverty,how is that colonisation. On the contrary,the biggest threat to the african people is the africans themselves,yeah,the african themselves.not europeans or asians,the negroid themselves,your average typical african is a selfish being at the basic level,you don't want to see your neighbour prosper,its only in africa where we celebrate the downfall of our friends,relatives etc,i have come to observe that,that is inherently african,jelousy i say will kill africans,the same thing is replicated in our institutions,when one ascends to a position of power in a public office ,he or she embarks on a process of self enrichment using public resources,completly neglecting the responsibilities he or she is assigned,this tendency of looting public offices to the ground at the detriment of the majority is deeply ingrained in the african people,be it banks,pension funds,bursary funds,saccos etc...we just lack the collective responsibility to better ourselves.africa is the richest continent in terms of resources,landmass labour force and weather yet we are the poorest in standards of living,why???Look,the other races know to well how disorganised we are,and they will use that to rip us off.we have to get our act together or our generations will forever be condemned to poverty,lets understand our culture first,who we are,and how to go about our problems,you see,democracy is a western culture that westerners have perfected all too well.we cannot just copy paste it and expect it to work in africa,look,the chinese have had to adopt a mixture of free enterprise,socialism and state control to lift millions out of poverty,the futuristic skyscrapers of doha,UAE,saudi arabia are strictly nestled in a conservative muslim world,this people know what they want in life and are competing on global scale and contributing to humanity,nyinyi shindeni tu hapo na battle za upuzi ati dar vs nai muone kama umaskini utawatoka,bure kabisa!
