Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Uh. Africa can UH can choose to change its future
- 0:17Speaker 1: or it can choose to to continue to mourn the past.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Africa is still the the richest continental planet. That's still
- 0:42Speaker 1: the land of plenty with resources and population beautiful and
- 0:56Speaker 1: the dynamics of all politics and the realities of geopolitics,
- 1:05Speaker 1: and going back to the history of Africa with slavery
- 1:15Speaker 1: uh we di scrambled for Africa or colonization and the
- 1:25Speaker 1: the cruel tree that ensue the unfortunate realities of that past,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and the looting, exploitations and mhm, you know, using Africa
- 1:43Speaker 1: as a resource, as a as a raw material or
- 1:53Speaker 1: what they call the manpower. And Africans can keep going
- 1:59Speaker 1: back to that histet of disrespect of racism, bigotry, discrimination, demonization,
- 2:12Speaker 1: the humanization and and the the deception you know, the
- 2:24Speaker 1: the proper god miseducation of Africa about Africa using religion
- 2:31Speaker 1: too to make the people hurt their own cultures and
- 2:37Speaker 1: using education to actually educate the minds of the people
- 2:43Speaker 1: to glorify the external and hate the internal. Africans can
- 2:50Speaker 1: keep going back to that past if they want to,
- 2:58Speaker 1: but Africans will get to remember that that that past
- 3:01Speaker 1: was not particular to Africa. It was not unique to Africa.
- 3:07Speaker 1: But something happened in China, you know, thinking about the
- 3:10Speaker 1: Nanjing massacred and the war with Japan and the Opean Wars,
- 3:20Speaker 1: and you can go back to you know, what happened
- 3:26Speaker 1: to Hong Kong, Macau m hm mm hmm, and the
- 3:32Speaker 1: interests of the West, and you can go back to
- 3:37Speaker 1: our parts of Asia, Asian countries, and you can go
- 3:41Speaker 1: to the Americans, down to the Americas and even the
- 3:48Speaker 1: Eastern Europe and even the story of America. It can
- 3:59Speaker 1: we can keep going to the past and become the
- 4:04Speaker 1: thing that every country at the colonial history was country
- 4:10Speaker 1: in the world. But America overcame that, the Chinese overcame. That.
- 4:20Speaker 1: You cannot talk about colonization without talking about India. Remember
- 4:28Speaker 1: the it's Indian companies and the empire. You know, to
- 4:36Speaker 1: talk about colonization, think about Pakistan Bangladesh and the separation
- 4:41Speaker 1: between India and Pakistan and so the boundaries jowned to them.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Most of the worst people are still fighting and we
- 4:51Speaker 1: can go on and on with that, but that is past.
- 5:00Speaker 1: You must learn to let go, You must learn to forgive,
- 5:04Speaker 1: you must learn to move on and move forward. You
- 5:09Speaker 1: cannot forget the past, but you must get past that
- 5:13Speaker 1: pass if you want to be something better. Course the past.
- 5:22Speaker 1: The most colonial countries or countries are victims of colonization.
- 5:30Speaker 1: That pass is always bitter. What happened to their great
- 5:33Speaker 1: great grandparents, and the killings and the marginalization, the mistreatment,
- 5:38Speaker 1: and and the barbaric or primitive or repognum or inhumane
- 5:45Speaker 1: or cruel nature of that colonial project, the imperior imperial project.
- 5:55Speaker 1: But it is past. You cannot keep excusing the has
- 6:04Speaker 1: for not developing yourself. It must fight for that which
- 6:10Speaker 1: is yours. If you know that which is yours, and
- 6:19Speaker 1: you must deserve, not fight most deserved which is yours,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and that which is hers is here the human being itself,
- 6:32Speaker 1: human being must develop itself and develop its mind, develop
- 6:37Speaker 1: its humanity, develop it so and I always tell Africans away,
- 6:45Speaker 1: I look to the past. No, no living human today
- 6:52Speaker 1: was responsible for that. There is no human, living human
- 6:58Speaker 1: being today. That was at the conference in Berlin, the
- 7:02Speaker 1: conference in Berlin with Basmerican, the European leaders that partitioned Africa.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Those people are dead and you cannot keep blaming. You
- 7:17Speaker 1: will don't blame Germany. And you cannot keep blaming England
- 7:23Speaker 1: and today, blame in America or blame in other countries
- 7:27Speaker 1: for what happened to your ancestry or what happened to
- 7:31Speaker 1: your history, because it happened right. The weaknesses of that
- 7:39Speaker 1: time cannot transcend to the life of today or the
- 7:44Speaker 1: lives of the living today. Today, there is a world
- 7:49Speaker 1: of science. Mm hmmm. The colonization was powered by science
- 7:58Speaker 1: and the science the industrial revolution and the ship ship building,
- 8:09Speaker 1: railways and factories and farm industrial farming equipment, and the
- 8:20Speaker 1: financial system, the banking system. These swift systems of finance
- 8:27Speaker 1: and trade faacilitation to science powered every civilization. The Egyptians
- 8:37Speaker 1: are powered by science, and during the Egyptian Empire, people
- 8:44Speaker 1: did not get it. You know, the weak paid the
- 8:46Speaker 1: price for it. When they talk about Moses in the
- 8:49Speaker 1: Bible and today Israel and the story, it's got a
- 8:57Speaker 1: dominant force mistreating artists about the Roman Empire and even
- 9:06Speaker 1: the Town dynasty and the same dynasties in China. You
- 9:10Speaker 1: go back to, oh, you know, the Babylonians and the
- 9:15Speaker 1: Persian Empire and the Dutch Empire, the British Empire and
- 9:24Speaker 1: the Mali Malaian Empire or the Indian Empire, you know,
- 9:29Speaker 1: the the the anchors, the Mayas, you know, empires are
- 9:37Speaker 1: bell on, the on the work, on blood and mistreatment
- 9:44Speaker 1: of artists. That's just the history of the world what
- 9:53Speaker 1: they do with science today, and that the missing link
- 9:58Speaker 1: was science. Science was yeah, was conserved to a particular
- 10:02Speaker 1: group of people in a particular race, the particular gender
- 10:07Speaker 1: got sense to the advert of the computer and the
- 10:11Speaker 1: internet to talk about difficial intelligence, you know, And the
- 10:17Speaker 1: world has changed, you know, you don't you don't need
- 10:22Speaker 1: to process to follow the process of industrial revolution anymore.
- 10:28Speaker 1: It can skip many stages today. You don't need to
- 10:30Speaker 1: have it. Africans don't need to have a telegram today,
- 10:34Speaker 1: or you know, or a locomotive. You cannot. You don't
- 10:41Speaker 1: need to invent the world. The case already here. Africans
- 10:45Speaker 1: don't need to go back, you know, prey the right
- 10:51Speaker 1: brothers to read invent the plane or the cell phone.
- 10:58Speaker 1: You don't need. So the future of every nation to
- 11:04Speaker 1: the every continent today is in its hands. That past
- 11:11Speaker 1: was brutal, but they got bright spots in it. The
- 11:15Speaker 1: build schools, hospitals and the belt cities, and they educated
- 11:24Speaker 1: either wilfully, unwilfully intentional or intentionally. They educated the leaders
- 11:30Speaker 1: that are leading these African countries to that most of
- 11:36Speaker 1: African leaders study in the West, so that the problem
- 11:43Speaker 1: cannot still be the West. We know about industrial colonization,
- 11:48Speaker 1: copri colonization, and that most countries don't have their own
- 11:53Speaker 1: currency or their own banks, and they don't control their
- 11:57Speaker 1: own governments. They're somebody in it leaders of the vastized states,
- 12:02Speaker 1: or they're just colonial representatives and some called their leaders.
- 12:10Speaker 1: But you can choose not to be that today because
- 12:14Speaker 1: the Western institutions have changed. The American constitution changed everything.
- 12:26Speaker 1: American constitutions changed everything. The freedom of speach, self determination,
- 12:31Speaker 1: self reliance, change everything. That's how far you push with this.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Look look at Martin Luther Kinge. Youself come to to
- 12:39Speaker 1: I've come to cash a bounced check. Go back to
- 12:48Speaker 1: the founding fathers of American The old is true to
- 12:50Speaker 1: be self evident, that our humans are critical. Think about
- 12:53Speaker 1: William weber Force in England trying to their policed slavery.
- 12:58Speaker 1: They're about the doul Us in America, Abram Lincoln, the
- 13:04Speaker 1: Civil rights, the Civil War, the Civil rights movement, upon Africanism.
- 13:10Speaker 1: There have been so many movements in this world to
- 13:13Speaker 1: free humans, and I want to and I want to
- 13:17Speaker 1: tell you today that humans are actually free. Humans are free.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Those African leaders can choose to to get their people.
- 13:28Speaker 1: They invest a lot in science and technology, in scientific research.
- 13:36Speaker 1: They can invest in build infrastructures. They can create their
- 13:41Speaker 1: own currencies if they want to. They can negotiate the
- 13:45Speaker 1: rec and reconcile, you know, and can renegotia contracts. They
- 13:52Speaker 1: can reinvest in themselves. They can start their own production,
- 13:56Speaker 1: change from from the primary from from primary, not just
- 14:02Speaker 1: from primary to the finnished product. They can't find their
- 14:06Speaker 1: own oil mine, I rEFInd their own goal. They can
- 14:12Speaker 1: locate their own people, just as the Chinese did. They
- 14:17Speaker 1: can follow the China model. The Chinese an't not fight
- 14:22Speaker 1: any war. Chinese did trade with the West. And the
- 14:28Speaker 1: Chinese don't have need to have that bitter Colonia feeling
- 14:34Speaker 1: because America did not have that over England. Because American
- 14:41Speaker 1: became designed education, nob lawrate, science, invention, innovation, creativity, hard work.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Must reform your educational system if they want to. The
- 15:00Speaker 1: issue most of these African countries is corruption, corruption and
- 15:05Speaker 1: nepotism and hatred for themselves. They keep blaming the colonial past,
- 15:11Speaker 1: that the boundits were separated and that they divided tribes
- 15:16Speaker 1: or whatever. That dose are passed us as history. It's history.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Something happened one hundred years ago, some fifty sixty years ago.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Or you are here. You're not that person. You're not
- 15:30Speaker 1: that person that history is passed on to you. You
- 15:35Speaker 1: must use that history positively to avoid hatred and bitterness
- 15:41Speaker 1: and blaming. You cannot keep blaming the West. Far on
- 15:45Speaker 1: demise have leaders that stay in their counties to the
- 15:49Speaker 1: forever they want to live. They spend most of their
- 15:52Speaker 1: vacations overseas. They used the West to explore their own
- 15:57Speaker 1: people to stay in power. They abuse them, the abuse
- 16:00Speaker 1: human rights, the abuse freedom, this calm democracy for their
- 16:07Speaker 1: own benefit. And leaders that sell their own resources to
- 16:11Speaker 1: stay in power. There are the gods stand up for meritocracy.
- 16:19Speaker 1: They are corrupt leaders, and they're nepolistic, nepotistic, and their
- 16:28Speaker 1: brutal and cruel and dictatoria and tyronic and oppressive and suppressive.
- 16:40Speaker 1: They buy weapons to marginalize their own people. They stop
- 16:48Speaker 1: blaming the West. The West does not stop you to
- 16:52Speaker 1: develop your country. Actually, the West will be happy if
- 16:55Speaker 1: you develop because most of the inventions and technolog just
- 17:00Speaker 1: come from the West any ways, sending our students to
- 17:03Speaker 1: learn it. Most of these African countries, they are the
- 17:08Speaker 1: ministers of research or scientific and technological research. They don't
- 17:15Speaker 1: invest in in in investing in students with PhDs or
- 17:24Speaker 1: who do conduct. You know space sciences, you know medicine,
- 17:31Speaker 1: and cutting edge technologism and AI quantum computing and fusion technologies,
- 17:38Speaker 1: and say all these things all the time, in in in,
- 17:42Speaker 1: in architecture, infrastructure, in machinery, right and entrepreneurship. They can
- 17:54Speaker 1: just learn from China or learn from America. Americans fought
- 18:01Speaker 1: so hard. The one thing with America. You follow the law,
- 18:07Speaker 1: You respect the constitution, You respect law enforcement officers. You
- 18:16Speaker 1: have patriotism for your country or for your continent. You
- 18:21Speaker 1: love your people, you love your motherland. If when you
- 18:28Speaker 1: preserve your culture, must industrialize it everything to this capital.
- 18:34Speaker 1: You don't dance around and magic happens. You don't pray
- 18:39Speaker 1: every day in church and magic happens. You don't spend
- 18:44Speaker 1: all your time in rituals, in celebrations and wasting a
- 18:47Speaker 1: little money you have and something magic happens. You don't
- 18:53Speaker 1: keep all these repugnant culties and repugnant rituals. You need
- 18:59Speaker 1: to modernize those things and make those things. Make money
- 19:04Speaker 1: what it is gerven by money. Money they say said
- 19:07Speaker 1: that money makes the world go around. Teach your people capitalism,
- 19:12Speaker 1: not celebration and waste stage of resources and time. Reindustrialize
- 19:21Speaker 1: the rower areas. Develop your family air farm, lane industrial farming.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Divestify your resources. Just copy from America. Promote homegrown industry,
- 19:48Speaker 1: use government private partnerships. There are certain sectors that needs
- 19:56Speaker 1: the government. They must train professionals, people who like the
- 20:04Speaker 1: country and will know what they're doing. They must stop
- 20:11Speaker 1: tribal politics. They cannot keep blaming the West. We know
- 20:23Speaker 1: the wounds of colonization, and even the West, some countries
- 20:26Speaker 1: have tried to compensate, to apologize right to do their best,
- 20:32Speaker 1: because that colonial passes shameful even for the Europeans or
- 20:36Speaker 1: the Western It's shameful for everybody because it was done
- 20:46Speaker 1: not by then by leaders of countries that they were
- 20:51Speaker 1: part of the beneficiary oders, colonial slave laborer, but that
- 21:00Speaker 1: they try to recompense for that. You cannot want somebody
- 21:06Speaker 1: else to come build your home. You can't build your hospitals,
- 21:12Speaker 1: you can't build your roads to come build your schools.
- 21:19Speaker 1: You cannot want someone else to mint your own currency,
- 21:22Speaker 1: your own money. How leasy can you be? You cannot
- 21:29Speaker 1: complain to have rights. You create those rights, cred those laws.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Just follow what American does. America is a good example
- 21:43Speaker 1: for every once a colonial country state that wants to
- 21:47Speaker 1: be free. Set rules and follow the rules, or your
- 21:55Speaker 1: turn in office is over. You leave doing Let poor
- 22:05Speaker 1: desperate leaders who want to use the coffers of the
- 22:09Speaker 1: states to enrich themselves. One able to separate nations resources
- 22:17Speaker 1: from their own resources. Great laws that you follow. That's
- 22:24Speaker 1: the problem with Africa. See the American Constitution and after
- 22:32Speaker 1: the amendments, they don't just wake up and not follow
- 22:35Speaker 1: the law. After every four years, you know the new
- 22:39Speaker 1: president in America or the term of office is renewed.
- 22:45Speaker 1: And always governor with mayor with a concert person and
- 22:52Speaker 1: always a delegate or secretary. It means in the in
- 22:59Speaker 1: America and Europe, you know who is in charge. If
- 23:07Speaker 1: you blame foreign interference or foreign interventions in your continent
- 23:10Speaker 1: in the country on your elections, then you stop the corruption.
- 23:17Speaker 1: You follow your laws. Because the West is the rule
- 23:21Speaker 1: of law, they will contradictory from American to follow the law.
- 23:27Speaker 1: But because your people are corrupt, you know, corporations can
- 23:31Speaker 1: always buy the corrupt ones. It's a shameful thing when
- 23:36Speaker 1: people look alike and then they talk the same language
- 23:39Speaker 1: and talk about all this pan Africanism and then they
- 23:42Speaker 1: are corrupt or the shame they's touched the money overseas.
- 23:48Speaker 1: They send their children to study in Harvard and you
- 23:50Speaker 1: adest universities, and they become more entitled against Africans themselves.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Some of these African colonial leaders or the children of
- 24:01Speaker 1: those colonial leaders, they are more entitled than nobody else.
- 24:06Speaker 1: If that that was president, they must be president, or
- 24:09Speaker 1: their wife or somebody in their family must be president.
- 24:13Speaker 1: You got dynasties in Africa. I don't want to leave.
- 24:17Speaker 1: They cannot blame the West. It's because you don't want
- 24:20Speaker 1: to leave power. How African change when ween always need
- 24:26Speaker 1: a cold are or maybe a civil war or civil
- 24:32Speaker 1: unrest or instability for a leader to leave office. They
- 24:40Speaker 1: must trust the process of democracy and trust and respect
- 24:45Speaker 1: the rule of law and follow meritocrasies strict or sense sir.
- 24:52Speaker 1: If you want to become a nation of a country,
- 24:55Speaker 1: a continent that can compete. Science is free today, Studying
- 25:06Speaker 1: artificial intelligences is free. Space technology is free to study,
- 25:14Speaker 1: even to go to the moon to day. There is
- 25:17Speaker 1: knowledge for it. It got a lot of resources, the gold,
- 25:20Speaker 1: the diamond, the timber, the the the miners for the
- 25:25Speaker 1: new er material industries. You have all these things. African
- 25:32Speaker 1: likes the commitment and the will and the resilience of leaders.
- 25:38Speaker 1: The one change. The problem with most African countries is
- 25:45Speaker 1: self hate, self envy, self jealousy. They hate themselves, they
- 25:56Speaker 1: like themselves, they hate than like themselves. They pretend to
- 26:00Speaker 1: one another, they are jealous and envy of one another,
- 26:06Speaker 1: or prefer what they call it foreigner, a stranger to
- 26:10Speaker 1: be their leader and one of their own. And out
- 26:16Speaker 1: the court of personality and court of power, they got
- 26:23Speaker 1: this god personalities or savior of mentality. The ones. The
- 26:29Speaker 1: president is selected president, he becomes a king and he
- 26:33Speaker 1: becomes a god to be all. They know all. And
- 26:38Speaker 1: when you glorify a leader, but when the leader becomes
- 26:41Speaker 1: a deity and science is out of the window, the
- 26:46Speaker 1: intelligent ones are killed or they got brain they got
- 26:50Speaker 1: brainwashed or brain flight those who stay up brainwashed the
- 26:57Speaker 1: smart ones. That those who don't want to be brain
- 26:59Speaker 1: washed the migrator other countries. So the intelligent ones migrate,
- 27:06Speaker 1: and the brain and those who stand because of lack
- 27:09Speaker 1: of resources or poverty or fear of feebility or cowardice
- 27:14Speaker 1: their brainwash. So leaders become king, and they soon become God,
- 27:21Speaker 1: and means the leader, the people bow to the leader,
- 27:26Speaker 1: and the kings and the chiefs bow to the leader,
- 27:31Speaker 1: and the churches count the leader. The leader becomes king
- 27:37Speaker 1: of king or queen of queen, and God. In that state,
- 27:47Speaker 1: the country is back to the Old Testament. You can't
- 27:51Speaker 1: tell me what was invented in the Old Testament. When
- 27:58Speaker 1: humans don't think and doubt and ask question and freely,
- 28:02Speaker 1: they cannot develop. The mind must be developed, and the
- 28:07Speaker 1: education that you teach your students matters. But when people
- 28:12Speaker 1: choose to dictators, they don't want the people to know more.
- 28:18Speaker 1: They strict those sense of communist countries, for example, the
- 28:22Speaker 1: people the smart ones are killed. They don't pose, you
- 28:27Speaker 1: just follow. But luckier some of those communist countries that
- 28:33Speaker 1: their leaders have instead man. They love their country and
- 28:38Speaker 1: they are doing everything they will develop their country think
- 28:40Speaker 1: about it white. The so called democratic African leaders republics,
- 28:47Speaker 1: they cannot develop their own country. They're stay in power
- 28:51Speaker 1: more than kings. They's stay in power in modern communist leaders.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Once they get to power. Most of these African leaders,
- 29:03Speaker 1: they're not thinking about how to live power the thing,
- 29:07Speaker 1: how to stay in power. They're nothing. How to make
- 29:10Speaker 1: a legacy nothing, How to rob the country, they're nothing.
- 29:16Speaker 1: How to develop the people nothing, how to exploit and
- 29:20Speaker 1: imprison them and still their resources. They don't think about
- 29:24Speaker 1: building banks and financial institutions. They think about looting the
- 29:30Speaker 1: country resources and comforts overseas. They don't think about educating
- 29:36Speaker 1: their people because all their children are not in the
- 29:41Speaker 1: country the overseas. So the problem of Africa is not
- 29:50Speaker 1: just the West or anybody Else's the people themselves or
- 29:56Speaker 1: how the people's people themselves. The will to develop must
- 30:04Speaker 1: come from a mind I want to be something bigger
- 30:08Speaker 1: than self African. African must have their own philosophers, their
- 30:16Speaker 1: own ideas. They must have their own system of education
- 30:24Speaker 1: that trace roots to glorify positive causality leaders and stigmatize
- 30:34Speaker 1: the bad ones amongst. They must rider curriculum to be
- 30:44Speaker 1: advanced to meet with the times of to day. Their
- 30:50Speaker 1: education must be futuristic. A leadership must follow the law.
- 30:57Speaker 1: People must campaign to be something. They must employ experts
- 31:02Speaker 1: and technocrats. People know what they are doing. It must
- 31:10Speaker 1: find our certain people who are not good. Have court
- 31:16Speaker 1: that meant something. The criminal justice system must mean something.
- 31:21Speaker 1: The suppression of power must mean something. The rights of
- 31:25Speaker 1: women must mean something. Power. The problem with Africa is
- 31:31Speaker 1: the subjugation of the women when it's not everywhere. Now
- 31:36Speaker 1: that the women are more intelligent than men, they live
- 31:40Speaker 1: longer than men. The projective thinkers their problem solves. It
- 31:50Speaker 1: must emanstipate your women and free the women from repugnant
- 31:56Speaker 1: cultures and traditions. Let women leave if they if they
- 32:02Speaker 1: deserve to lead meritocracy. The stigma on women and the
- 32:09Speaker 1: primitive culture that men know everything. It's the braind that
- 32:15Speaker 1: knows something. It's not a gender. It's your mind, your intellect,
- 32:22Speaker 1: your intuition, your common sense, by your reason and your rationality,
- 32:27Speaker 1: your logic, your mind power. They must teach development, innovation,
- 32:39Speaker 1: innovation and invention ingenuity. I must promote a responsor that
- 32:49Speaker 1: most African countries aquented to have a five year plan
- 32:51Speaker 1: or ten year plan. It must create legacy. Leaders. Leaders
- 32:57Speaker 1: are coming to leave a mark. No leaders are coming
- 33:01Speaker 1: to loot or stay in power, get a court of
- 33:05Speaker 1: personality and run away from the people. You go to
- 33:10Speaker 1: some of these countries, you don't even know where the
- 33:12Speaker 1: presidency is. They come to d C. The White Houses
- 33:17Speaker 1: are there. Some of those countries, you the presidency is
- 33:23Speaker 1: in an island with fortification, with levels of protection. Protection.
- 33:29Speaker 1: We're asking why that's so much protection. Because the leader
- 33:34Speaker 1: is supposed to be a person of the people. The
- 33:40Speaker 1: leader is supposed to be with the people to see
- 33:42Speaker 1: their applight, see their suffering, listen to them, visit them,
- 33:49Speaker 1: work with them, build with them. That's the job of
- 33:56Speaker 1: the leader. You're in and one day you are I
- 34:01Speaker 1: remembered for what you did. I advance the country. It
- 34:08Speaker 1: must be bridged builders and city builders and nation builders.
- 34:13Speaker 1: But that's not what most African leaders are all about.
- 34:16Speaker 1: On the contrary, the artgoing leader and the leader stays
- 34:21Speaker 1: in and crumble all the roads and bridges that were
- 34:25Speaker 1: burned by the previous leaders. Or it's staying in power
- 34:30Speaker 1: so much. Now what the incumbent build is burned down
- 34:35Speaker 1: by that by the next administration. If you can't call
- 34:38Speaker 1: that administration. So development is not the thing. Advancement is
- 34:46Speaker 1: not the thing. Cutting age, science and technology is not
- 34:51Speaker 1: the thing. Competition is not the thing. Capitalism is not
- 34:58Speaker 1: the thing, or capital is not the thing. Investment is
- 35:03Speaker 1: not the thing. Stability is not the thing. Ecological sustainability
- 35:13Speaker 1: is not the thing. So you get to wonder why
- 35:20Speaker 1: certain leaders leaders in Africa, that's the problem that they
- 35:28Speaker 1: deserve to be in power, or somebody somewhere sponsor them
- 35:33Speaker 1: to be in power, lobbied on their behalf, or created
- 35:38Speaker 1: a sham election, or took out a good leader and
- 35:43Speaker 1: imposed an impostor somebody without the wisdom of leadership, somebody
- 35:51Speaker 1: who doesn't care for the people. Somebody would have the
- 35:54Speaker 1: soul of humanity. So the question becomes, why are you
- 36:00Speaker 1: a leader if you don't have your country at half.
- 36:07Speaker 1: It's not an either all type of things. There's this
- 36:11Speaker 1: say in Africa that you're in an anti West, that
- 36:15Speaker 1: something is Western. Knowledge is not Western knowledge. It's just knowledge.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Knowledge is not a person. It's not a color. It's
- 36:23Speaker 1: not a country. Knowledge is the mind. If the country
- 36:32Speaker 1: want the people to be intelligent, they will be intelligent.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Create competition, create fans and shows, build talent, build generational leaders.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Teach them in leadership scholls. It means to be a leader.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Teach them responsibility and accountability. Punish corruption as hard as
- 37:10Speaker 1: you can get, make it sustainable and consistent, unfair. I
- 37:16Speaker 1: just so to change Africa. It's not that difficult. The
- 37:29Speaker 1: leaders stand the way of their own change. You can
- 37:33Speaker 1: blame the Britain Institution, the i m F, the World Bank,
- 37:38Speaker 1: and you can. You can blame colonization, blame in parorism,
- 37:46Speaker 1: blame foreign intervention or interference. You can. You can call
- 37:51Speaker 1: it all distinct names. But as you say that, you
- 37:56Speaker 1: can work on Chegam. At the same time, he must
- 38:01Speaker 1: not not walk with the West or not work with
- 38:04Speaker 1: a war. To make a point, you need to teach.
- 38:08Speaker 1: You need to teach your people to go to the
- 38:10Speaker 1: School of International Diplomacy, to study at GEO politics, work
- 38:16Speaker 1: at the Nego Shad, how to seek and find a
- 38:22Speaker 1: common ground, how to make tread deals right, how to
- 38:32Speaker 1: entice foreign direct investment at the Entice Corporation. You can
- 38:45Speaker 1: learn all those things if you want to. You know,
- 38:51Speaker 1: there was the African by Gino Chebe. He saved the
- 38:57Speaker 1: African by the Pan Africanism. But the African todays should
- 39:02Speaker 1: be the AI world, Africa, the Africa semiconductors and go
- 39:06Speaker 1: to computer the Africa five G, six G. That's the
- 39:22Speaker 1: Africa I want to build. Need to invest heavily in
- 39:30Speaker 1: science and technology and competition. Look what other countries are doing.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Just learn it. Sending your students to go learn what
- 39:42Speaker 1: you don't have and make sure those students that you're saying,
- 39:46Speaker 1: they come back, and when they come back, let them
- 39:50Speaker 1: develop their country and start blaming all this the law
- 39:58Speaker 1: of tradition, religion and culture. Tradition, religion and culture should
- 40:03Speaker 1: not be used to subjugate the people, or to blame
- 40:06Speaker 1: watch the people, or to promote superstition and ignorance. Free
- 40:13Speaker 1: the mind of your people. If you have the right
- 40:16Speaker 1: to worship what they want, to believe in what they want.
- 40:19Speaker 1: A girls, you have the right to determine who they
- 40:23Speaker 1: want to get married the woman. You have the same
- 40:26Speaker 1: right that a man has. Or you stay primitive while
- 40:33Speaker 1: they will move forward, and you blame the past, blame yourself.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Don't make laziness, entitlement and victim at the time. Never
- 40:47Speaker 1: give excuse not the devil, Never give an excuse not
- 40:53Speaker 1: to advance yourself. Never give excuses not to build infrastructures
- 41:00Speaker 1: of the future. That choice is they oh U stay
- 41:11Speaker 1: and keep blaming the colonial past and create all this
- 41:14Speaker 1: hatred and resentment. You keep talking about this white and
- 41:18Speaker 1: black stuff, and you can keep doing that. What you're
- 41:23Speaker 1: gonna teach the young people you just pass on that
- 41:25Speaker 1: height that victim hurt to the children, the feibility and
- 41:31Speaker 1: cowardice and weakness. You must take charge and be in
- 41:39Speaker 1: control of your own destiny. That's what independence was all about.
- 41:45Speaker 1: You know. In geopolitics, you can only be out smarted.
- 41:49Speaker 1: Don't blame another person for how smarting you have what
- 41:53Speaker 1: you need in order to compete. You cannot tie one
- 41:57Speaker 1: of your hands and take the other and begging, and
- 42:03Speaker 1: they tie one of your hands to your traditional cultural
- 42:07Speaker 1: and religions, and then you tie the other hand the
- 42:15Speaker 1: hand of the women, and then you beg and you complain.
- 42:23Speaker 1: You cannot hold the ways of all that this infanci
- 42:28Speaker 1: crisis that discriminate against you. You cannot hold the older
- 42:33Speaker 1: makes you feel in fear. You should create a new
- 42:36Speaker 1: that makes you feel superior. That's just how it works.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Don't hold the older that makes you in fear, create
- 42:45Speaker 1: the new that makes you superior, not superior over others,
- 42:53Speaker 1: superior in your mind in a positive causality, a positive
- 43:01Speaker 1: up to my utility, a positive contribution, a positive advancement
- 43:12Speaker 1: and development. African's color in traditions, religions and cultures. So
- 43:25Speaker 1: traditional religions and cultures. It hands over the past. It
- 43:29Speaker 1: gives you the past. It controuls the mind. It gives
- 43:34Speaker 1: a man belief and superstition. It takes away science. Teach science,
- 43:41Speaker 1: teach ar copy from others. But don't just infringe on
- 43:52Speaker 1: intellectual property rights. Create your own intellectual property rights, create
- 43:59Speaker 1: a nobel rights, helay your own inventors status or startups.
- 44:07Speaker 1: That choice is for you to create and develop the
- 44:13Speaker 1: empire and the continent of Africa that you want, or
- 44:18Speaker 1: you blame it on empire colonization and interference or inter
- 44:25Speaker 1: adventure or the wie is always your problem. It must
- 44:29Speaker 1: then to get past that. I don't say this is
- 44:32Speaker 1: to minimize or dumb play the wrongs. That's not what
- 44:41Speaker 1: I'm talking about at the point in time my life.
- 44:45Speaker 1: If you want to progress, I want to advance, you
- 44:50Speaker 1: must learn to forgive, to let go, to move on
- 44:58Speaker 1: and move forward into the new war into the future.
- 45:05Speaker 1: If you want to be relevant, competitive or taking seriously,
- 45:14Speaker 1: Oh you stay begging why I'm complaining. I always pointing
- 45:19Speaker 1: the finger at somebody that doesn't look like you, when
- 45:25Speaker 1: your problem actually is from somebody that looks like here.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Stop disiving yourself, be honest to yourself. Changes you. If
- 45:36Speaker 1: you want to go, stay backward, and history will not
- 45:43Speaker 1: think well about you. If you refuse to advance, your
- 45:50Speaker 1: children will suffer. That psychle will continue. You can change
- 45:56Speaker 1: it something called the African anion where all those leaders
- 46:03Speaker 1: got there. Dad wants to change Africa. If they want
- 46:08Speaker 1: to change is not just one way. There are many
- 46:17Speaker 1: dimensions to do the right thing. So we are thinking,
- 46:26Speaker 1: Prince Israel's a philosopher. Prince they are intelligence is philosopher
- 46:36Speaker 1: from the Great City of Las Vegas, USA, August seventeen,
- 46:45Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, on Africa colonization in the future that
- 46:56Speaker 1: I'm determined by nobody but by Africans themselves. Every want
- 47:05Speaker 1: their children to compete in a new world. Nothing stopping
- 47:09Speaker 1: them from turning that page a blame an ugly page,
- 47:17Speaker 1: into a new one one of hope and light, of intellect,
- 47:27Speaker 1: of expanding the mind on pushing the mind to new
- 47:32Speaker 1: frontiers as a choice. Thank you
