Indeed. This is the image we have been educated to death with. That now we can write & read in european. Even with their accents. We pray to their white deities. Where their clothes. Buy their images of beauty and kill ourselves trying to conform to that chemically/financially even. Celebrate their holidays. Adopt their names & discard ours. Wait for them to advise us on how to organize resouces in our societies. Wait for them to build for us cars, planes, bridges, hospitals. Nails and paper clips.
Welcome to civilization Black Wo/man. No more spears and savagery. The por white guy sure has big black burdens. Right?
And he carries with strenghth, intelligence and with the milk (white) and kindness of his gentle heart he teaches us out of our dark, backward heathen ways.
Nice.

.... Are our leaders so dumb, so inhuman, really do Black African Leaders think at all, let alone have a ‘conscience’?

I think our leaders of the 60s especially were over-awed by whitey due to his shiny things & money. And Power. This was their undoing in terms of their individual loss of Black Spirit. Soul.Which till today they overcompensate by massive theft and ego trips: They love honorifics like Mheshimiwa, mkubwa, Munene and the sucking up that we the majority poor have to do to get a morsel from these rotten souls.
This is why Abacha was caught dead in a massive cardiac arrest on a tryst in bed with two women. Bless him!
He is not alone in such weak-minded outlets of expression by those African leaders who are just destroyers/parasites. NOT CREATORS.
It gets worse: The youth have note the impunity of the leaders and now believe the only way to be happy & successful is to sell their souls for money. 7000 prostitutes in little Nairobi every night (see yesterday's nation) and men selling their bodies in Kisumu (only town in Kenya with this malaise really)
It is lazy/easy to be cynical with such realities. It only makes things worse.
We are Afrikans!

Again yesterdays Nation: Angola has 2 million chinese living in that country and there are plans (unconfirmed rumours ) to provide farm leases to china. Vast tracts.......Now I am no yellow peril (racist bias towards asians) but this is madness.

Really, is Africa the Problem or the Problem Africans? Can some one say something

So, comming to your important query Atabong: We Africans have issues. We have to face the reality squarely. We all know we have big problems but we have yet to really define the causes, when they begun, how they did.
When this is done, the solution becomes glaringly obvious. Either which way, it is not a plug n play solution but a change of mind & body to materialize the True Potential of The Motherland.
Many people both Africans (wherever they be) and our enemies will not like this kind of thinking.
Ignore them. This is work beyond our lifetimes. What is 70 yrs (if you are lucky) compared to the age of Afrikan civilization?
Make your life part of the Rhythm towards African Awakenning. Its much more meaningful than chasing wildgooses in white hypnosis. Or Black weak greed.
