The Roots of Our Problems and What We’re Still Doing Wrong!

Nigerians, always with the attitude of placing the cart before the horse and wondering why the chariot isn't moving!
The first step is a mental stage!

Haven't Nigerians gone to the streets and rioted and protested? Where did it lead?
Haven't we prayed and cried?
Where did it lead?

If these aren't working then something must be wrong and common sense should tell one to change tactics/strategy!

And that problems lies in the fact that we keep plucking the leaves off the tree disturbing us, rather than uprooting it, we pluck, it clears and then we're back again in 2 weeks crying and plucking the leaves and calling for a protest again!

How about we do the right thing for once?
How about we place the damn horse before the cart and see the chariot move?

How many understand the underlining of the problems?
Many can see the problems, Oh Yes! Many feel them and are affected by them, many want to do something and want things to change, but how many know the roots of the problem and when pointed out, how many are ready to face the roots?

How many have the courage and boldness to do so?

Not that many, very few in fact! Hence, you have the hypocrisy of a man who claims to want change but just can't bring himself to what is necessary because of his silly ego and foolishness!

To solve a problem, it needs to be carefully understood, you need to go down to the deep roots and see how that problem generated and sprung up. What fertile soil did it grow on, what nutrients, water etc made it germinate and grow so big?

Those are your first steps. And looking well into our history, we see that our problems in their gross majority started off with slavery/colonialism.

Not that there weren't other problems then, there surely were, albeit VERY minimal and well handled/solved compared to what we have now!

Now, what was the first step these invading armies do to conquer us as a people?
Divide us successfully- The same divide and conquer system that worked them and still works now - Look at our societies!

How did they divide us? Introduction of foreign religions, the slavery of the mind! Cutting us off completely from who we are and placing this new illusion on us to cloud our minds, distract us, create a huge sense of fear and in which solace could only be found in their foreign deities!

They made us see ourselves as not worthy, inferior and less than human, which created the subservience and mental slavery!

That division and distraction, clearly made it easy for every other type of problem, crime etc to grow and we see them as the stems, branches!

Furthermore, how did we ever think we were and are independent, when we still use the same foundational institutions set up for us by colonialists? The same systems that were there during the colonial era - which was not for our benefits but for that of the colony as we served them and everything on our lands did!

So how did we claim to gain independence and still stuck to these institutions, to these tools of our slavery and colonialism and we now complain that things don't work.

How can they work, when they weren't designed to work for us in the first place?
We see our colonial masters getting bigger and better alongside their agents who monitor the colony called Nigeria.

We ourselves have become the slavers and colonisers of our own self unconsciously!

‎"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free"- Goethe.
What is worse than a slave? A slave in free men clothing! Take a look at Nigeria!- Teekay Akin FreedomMovementVoice

And those roots we have failed to break and destroy!

Remember we never fought for independence, rather we were given. And who in his right senses will enslave, colonise and then free?
If you think any man will do this for you, then you are deluded!

Freedom is never given; Freedom is taken, fought for and died for!

Will protests and riots peaceful or otherwise get us what we need?

No they won't!
Will prayers do?
No they won't!

Not until the roots of those problems are dug up, removed and burnt completely. Not until then shall we ever see true change in Nigeria. - Not the change from Yar'dua to Jonathan, or PDP to CPC etc NO!

Real change from slavery to freedom, from inferiority to equality from division to unity from chaos to freedom, from tolerance to understanding!

First, ourselves and lands must be rid of foreign religions, Give them back their gods, religions and books, Give them back their tools of our slavery, colonialism and oppression!

And let’s UNITE, unite as African brothers and sisters. Unite from the smallest units, family, community, tribes, regions etc!

Then together as a whole, we can sit down as free and equal men, understanding each other and then being able to further destroy the stems, branches and leaves of this failed system, this slavery and colonial system!

Then we can chart our own future; redefine our own borders as Africans and not as dictated/created by foreigners! We should determine how our lives are lived and what path we take not some foreign god or men!

Does this sound like Utopia?

Well, NO!
This is reality, accomplish-able, because IT ONCE WAS AND CAN AND WILL BE AGAIN!

The time to bring them out, dust them up and USE is NOW!! OCCUPY YOUR BRAIN!!"- Teekay Akin FreedomMovementVoice

@Teekay,you are so correct,the bullshit talk about israel being the chosen land was a form of mind control to make people(indoctrinated slaves)not want to invade them.but thank god(or is it satan)for the history books,we now know that the greeks,the romans and the babylonians defeated them resoundingly on the battle-field!!!
