8 REASONS THAT PROVE AFRICANS BEHAVE LIKE FREED PEOPLE INSTEAD OF FREE PEOPLE


LENJO VALERY SPEAKS:

8 Reasons to Prove that Africans behave like freed people instead of free people. 


✔️ We behave as if we owe our lives to someone. For generations we haven’t accepted the fact that life is a gift and anything we do is for ourselves and no one else. 


✔️ We are always calling ourselves freedom fighters or liberation fighters or something similar to that as if someone was holding our freedom. Honest Politics is more than us, creativity is more than us, even unity is more than us. We enjoy putting leaders down only to repeat the same mistakes as the former.


✔️ Critical and Strategic thinking is more than us. Reason why we rush to fight the moment something is said that is controversial to our understanding. Let’s use our head and not our hearts 


✔️ We love pointing fingers at others for the things that happen to us. If it’s not the government, it is the Whitman or the devil.


✔️ We are always feeling threatened and cling to funny believes for redemption. In one family, half are using talisman(juju) for protection while the other half are using religious Sacramentals for protection. 


✔️ We are always asking for favors from others, we forget the laws of nature works same for everyone. We rush to borrow the least moment we see our brother/ sister with money. We are always having financial problems.


✔️ Even when we Succeed, we want to show to our community we have arrived by lavishing and wasting the same money we heartily worked for. Consequently our children surfer and hence the rat race restart from generation to generation.


✔️ Just like how a fowl freed from its cage or a dog unchained always return to the master’s home at the end of the day, that is how our youths are flooding the embassies for greener pastures abroad after graduation.


10 Ways Free People Think and Do.


1. Free people Think before they act.

2. Free people accept their responsibilities and improve.

3. Free people invest their resources and expand their wealth without fear of death since they believe life will continue after they die and the people they trust will continue the good works after them.

4. Free people dialogue when there is difference of views and opinions and later agree for the peace of their community.

5. Free people believe in themselves, in their country men and associate with others for the growth of their country. 

6. Free people empower their leaders and do what is right according to their constitution.

7. Free people are honest and make sure their words are unwavering in any condition.

8. Free people consume their own produce and ameliorate them with respect to standards of the society.

9. Free people have patience, focus and endurance in any endeavor they undertake.

10. Free people do to others what the want others to do to them.


All in all,  “What you give is equal to what you get”. We are born free. Let’s remain Africans and add value to this world because it belongs to us. I am not pointing fingers at anyone but let’s conscientise. We need an agressive orientation in this continent to enable change. The time is now.

A Stereotype About Cameroon: Africa-In-Miniature

  My country Cameroon, as well put on https://www.everyculture.com/Bo-Co/Cameroon.html, has diverse cultural, religious, and political traditions as well as ethnic variety. English and French are her official languages, a heritage of her colonial past as both a colony of the United Kingdom and France from 1916 to 1960. This means two of the most popular languages in the world are used in Cameroon. The above factors and many more, together with her location usually described as “The Armpit of Africa”, sparked a popular stereotype mainly by tourist literature, her being considered “Africa in miniature”. Asserting that she offers all the diversity of Africa, in climate, culture, and geography, within its borders. Some might question this, but based on my experiences and research, I think it might be safe to agree so. Well, let us find out.   In the context of language, not only do her inhabitants speak both English and French, regarded as some of the most popular languages in the worl

THE POWER OF YOUTHFULNESS

I am writing this article at the age of 27yrs old and in my youthful age.  I remember when I was traversing to this stage of my life (from adolescence to adult), I will dream of fancy things like, -          To one day fry a tray full of eggs and slice it into pieces like a cake. -          To play football and be a superstar like Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon. -          To become a well-known Genetic engineer and add value to humanity. -          To party every day and make merry with friends. -          Etc. Funny enough, as I am writing to you now, -          I am undergoing a transformation to become a vegetarian, -          I don’t have the patience to sit for 90 minutes and watch football talk less of playing it, -            I am a Computer scientist and Digital entrepreneur who practically spend 3/4 th of the day before the computer. -          I am an introvert and don’t find fun in joining gatherings, clubbing and listening to loud music with high bits or pitch. -

LENJO VALERY L, Digital Entrepreneur Mechanization is the use of machines to augment or scale up productivity in the society. The use of machines on earth date far back as 1000BC with what physicians term “The Simple Machines” which was use used for Calculation, processing of grains to flour, agriculture, making solutions for drinks, etc. Machines vary depending on purpose and problems to be solved.
