with all due respect for the visit of an American President to the Continent of Africa.I’ll start my assessments by pointing at colonialism,amalgamation,
corruption,religion ism,tribalism,imperialism and so on,just to mention a few,personally i was disappointed with all the speeches of the so called first African American president,i want him to realize if he eventually denied he’s not an African he should just stop pretending about what his adopted country and the western imperialist has done to the continent of Africa.
when money meant for the welfare and development of Africa is diverted to private and personal accounts of the looters,i want to ask those at the receiving end,i mean the U.S banks and E.U banks are not aware of those activities? still they hold num to all this atrocities ,meanwhile when we talk of democracy,those countries he visited like Saudi Arabia which a U.S president bow down to it Ruler for the first time in history of a U.S president. and Egypt. are they democratic countries?
when it come to countries of the same color like the President,he bluff,nobody is an island or a monopoly of wisdom.what is happening in Africa,I’ll call it an act of God, in due time Africans will realize its potentials.
