Femi Fani-Kayode: Tears for Africa
There were a number of other large and notable empires in world history such as the Roman, Ottoman, Greek, Babylonian, Persian and Mughal empires.
This resulted in the establishment of a unipolar world and the emergence of the United States of America as the most powerful and influential nation and the greatest military power that the world has ever known or seen in the history of humanity. Instead, for thousands of years and indeed up until today, sub-saharan Africa has been the greatest source of raw materials, mineral resouces and commodities for the development of non-African nations and empires and the world in general.
As a matter of fact slavery was to later become the bedrock and foundatiom of modern-day capitalism in 18th and 19th century Europe. We were ready to kill our brightest and our best and sell them off into slavery and bondage for profit and for gain. One is constrained to ask, has anything changed? Is this not still the case today?
Must we build our nations and institutions on the accursed foundation of savagery, barbarity, injustice, tyranny, wickedness, corruption, double-speak, lies, deceit, double-standards, cheating, lying, ignorance, hypocrisy, greed and self-hate? Where will this take us?
