RE: They gave us independence but we lack freedom.

in #life7 years ago (edited)

One thing i have learnt in this post is "never procrastinate"... wait wait wait... don't be too fast to say i didn't read through. Yes i did but funny enough, i have an unfinished article titled FREE BUT NOT FREED; THE BONDAGE IN OUR FREEDOM. I'd still drop it soon nonetheless.

This is an overview of my opinion on modern slavery. How the minds our Nigerian leaders and Africans at large, have been so enslaved, we seek approval of action before we act. How we prefer to wear the italian made wears because we think aba boys will sell fake wears to us.

We seek to be like the English man and that's why to attend a wedding in Africa, Bill Gates wore his well ironed suit but let an African attend a white man's wedding in the white man's land, Nd you would see that Agada wouldn't be in sight nor any cultural attire because he feels they'd stare at him as ancient and uncivilized but this is our culture.

But like they say, charity begins at home. How that a woman on lekki phase 1 in Lagos gives birth to her children and teaches them how to eat eba and egusi with cutleries... ahn ahnnn ... what then has happened to washing your hands and eating wth them, teaching them how to mould it into a piece and swallow... Well, oyinbo lifestyle sure pass...

The issue of corruption due to the oyinbo man's policies he left behind? Story for another day ...

My dear, i call this the bondage in our freedom. We are free but our minds are still enslaved and this is why i have written my comment in English because if i write in pidgin, or my language, I'd be seen as uncivilized or barbaric.

This is a nice piece. Enjoy your night.

this was an epic response, but na pidgin sure pass for response. Language na for talk, im no matter wetin you yarn, just yarn wetin dey your mind. If anybody talk jagbajantis, tear am slap. If we miss road, na because say we wan miss road o, because if we say oda people miss road that's why we miss road, no be excuse be that.

Am proudly African and that's the koko...moreso I be free thinking African. I spoke with pidgin to show that I don't care if anyone thinks am barbaric or not.I don't owe them anything...Have a great night.
