The Call to Change

Oh Africa! The land that is described as milk and honey, endowed with riches from natural resources, created to be united and established during the Pre-Colonial era to be the home for the fortunate and unfortunate blacks who suffered the torture of slavery in Europe and America. During those moments of unfortunate circumstances, Africans must have learnt from the cruelty they faced, the brutality meted to them and the circumcision of Africa. The land was raped, abused and ripped off its prosperity, its people suffered in misery, plunged with an ill-fated disease that condemned the people to damnation. During the course of time, experience has been a good teacher, poverty a misfortune and hatred a lesson, but the hundred million question is 'Did Africans really learnt from their mistake'?

Over the course of time the answers to that question has been daunting, self-provoked and malicious. The people of Africa have been submissive to leadership, protected by beliefs they trusted in but however, they have been betrayed, mislead and maltreated by the same belief and people they choose to lead them. The political battle in Africa has been a clash  of the Titans, a reproach to indignity and a torch of cruelty.

Series of political struggle, military interventions and torment of the people of Africa has caused the world to debate the root of civilisation because the attitude of top class Africans does not define Africa as the root of civilisation. As of late, the continent has been plagued with unfortunate circumstances like the break of Ebola, which has taken the lives of over 10,000 people across the West African region.

Quite recently, Sierra Leone has fallen prey to political misjudgement and unconstitutional misconduct, all of which is as result to negligence, greed and hatred for one another. From the days of Colonialism, Africans have been discriminative and discontent which are the more reasons that led to slavery and poverty. When people speak of discrimination, there is none that is as deadly as Africans discriminating each other especially in Europe and America.

All hope has not been lost, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, Africans have started using their hands to determine their future positively. Nigeria the highest populated Country in Africa has manifested their desire for change, with all the tormenting and brutality of voters around the Country the people still believe in the potential a change can create. It was shocking as to how the incumbent Good-luck Jonathan described the just concluded electoral process on social media. However, with all the torture of civilians, change is an inevitable situation no matter how people try to oppress it, the will to move forward always shines like the sun.

The hands were moved and the decision for change was made by the people and for the people. Nigeria has elected General Mohamed Buhari as the new man to take them forward. The people of Nigeria now anticipate the hope promised by the newly elected Head of State. Our hope is on the high of a new beginning for the people of Nigeria.
