AFRICAN HISTORY

When they move from Europe to Africa = Voyages of discovery.

When Africans moved from Africa to Europe = Illegal immigrants.

A group of Africans in Europe = Refugees.

A group of Europeans in Africa = Tourists.

A group of Africans in the bush = Poachers.

A group of Europeans in the bush = Hunters.

Black people working in a foreign country = Foreigners.

White people working in a foreign country = Experts

Did this world fail Africa or did we fail ourselves? Food for thought!!

IN FACT, THE GREATEST STUPIDITY NORMALIZED BY AFRICANS IS:

When a French citizen does not speak English, Africans respect him.

When a Spaniard doesn't speak English, Africans respect him.

When a Chinese person doesn't speak English, Africans respect him.

When a Russian doesn't speak English, Africans respect him.

When a Portuguese person doesn't speak English, Africans respect him.

But, when an African does not speak English, Africans consider him a joke, unintelligent, illiterate, dumb and stupid.

This is the level or extent of the harm we have suffered as a people. We use English as a parameter to measure the intelligence of our people, including children.

In African schools, children are led to believe that they are stupid just because they cannot speak a language foreign to their ancestral trajectory.

Dear Africans, put an end to this mental slavery. Teach your children your mother tongue and allow locals to feel free to speak their native language without any stigma.
