The Price to Pay for Not using our own Brain muscles

…is an open SECRET. Some see it and hear it, but the bell does not ring for them. That's OK. It takes a while for reality to marinate.

One of those realities is this: the shame we do not feel in always begging, or waiting, for white men or the Chinese to come and "help" us Africans. Unfortunately, these people do not love our people more than our own people do.

One may ask: so why do the Europeans and the Chinese come to our land?

Answer: to make money. End of story. Even the churches are part of the "trade, business, make money" game.

Post-colonial bruhahas do not affect the bottom lines of the Euro-colonizers and American capitalists. So it is business as usual.

But here is where the garri rises above the water. In the middle of all these trade deals and capitalist shenanigans, the most important unit and asset of the land is nowhere in the discussions. That unique asset of AMBAZONIA is its people. Count them one by one, and you get a sense of how rich or poor AMBAZONIA is.

Petrol in BAKASSI? That's temporary. In 10 years, kids will be talking about nuclear fusion energy, and petrol will be considered "dirty", as Africa is considered even today.

Finally, the one who has mastered and capitalized on the skewed world politics of post-colonization is France, which has also been the bane of the Ambazonian citizen's existence since 1945.
