Introduction   to   Freedom

It  will  be very  important  to define  the  word freedom  first before  we explore  the topic in details.Most African countries claims  that  they are free and they celebrate freedom day  every  year, and  that makes  me  wonder if  they  know  the true meaning of the word freedom. 

What is freedom?

The word  freedom is made out  of  two  words which is free  and  Dom .To  be  free ,is  a condition  of being  able  to  live without  external  imposed  restrains  for  the internal  part  to flourish. The word Dom is from dominion or domain. Dominion  is  power and  control  while   Domain is  a  place/territory  that  you  control  or  anything  that is  in your  possession. The  word  freedom  can be expanded to have the following  words( without external forces and restrains, internal  control ,dominate,place,land,domain,territory,possession).When  someone is controlled  by  outside spirits ,that  normal results in madness and loss of freedom .If  a country is controlled by outside forces ,freedom will  just  be a dream.

Most Africans are suffering in their own countries yet foreigners are flourishing  as  they are in control of  all the  internal affairs.When a country is free, the indigenous  people will  be  the ones who controls  everything  including  the wealthy,land,education,religion,culture,laws  and all mineral  resources.Unfortunately if all the above are controlled by foreigners, then foreigners will also control and have power over the people.Unless the internal have dominion over the external,freedom will be just a dream.In all  the countries  of  the world  where the  indigenous  people  are not controlled  by  the outsiders that  result  in  true freedom.

Freedom in Africa?

I have briefly explained the meaning of the word freedom. It will be now easy to see whether Africa is free or not. Most African countries are claiming that they are free yet they are 100% controlled by external forces they don’t have power over their domain.African constitutions are not African but European,Africa is trying hard to be Europe. Most of the laws that govern us are founded from Roman Dutch Laws. Europe is insisting that African countries  must have democracy so that they will easily extend their control over African countries through this  Euro centric constitutions that govern African countries .Ghana is  the first  country in Africa to claim to have received freedom,one of the world largest producer of gold yet Ghanaians  are extremely  poor,their gold is being controlled  by outsiders ,outsiders are enriching themselves with that gold and that is consired as democracy at its best.
In Africa  the  land  is  not  controlled  by Africans that  means  Africans  are not dominating  their  land  but  the  outsiders  are  dominating. If the external controls the internal there is no freedom. In  South  Africa  about  80%  of  the land  is owned  by  a  small  minority  group  which  is  not  original  Africans .The  majority  of  South African  are  without  land ,and  that makes it difficult  for the Africans  in South Africa to even produce  their own food, they are depending  on buying. True liberation will not happen if your  are not controlling your own land because everything that makes one rich comes from the land. If you don’t control your land then you are powerless and you have no freedom.

Our dresscode,food,language,weddings,funerals,culture,education,laws  and  almost  everything  in African  countries  is  European  influenced. Most of our leaders are actors on behalf of Europeans as they are following Euro centric constitutions and constitutions are the ones that govern a country. Africa is  very rich, but  her children  are very poor as she does not controls  her wealthy, but  foreigners  are  the ones who are  getting rich out  of Africa’s  wealthy. African  languages  are  classified  as  second  languages  then  Europeans languages  are  first  languages .The  reason for that is  that Africa  is  still  begging  for  handout  from  Europe yet Europeans  are  enriching   themselves  through  Africa’s wealthy under the name foreign  investors. Every time when our leaders are speaking they make sure that they will speak things that will impress their European masters, and that happens at the detriment of African people.

There is still a long way to freedom, when i was still at  school ,Our  teachers  were punishing  us  if  we speak our African languages, they  wanted  us to speak  English, we  were  not free  to  express  our internal  language ,but  the outsider’s language  was controlling  the internal language. We  were  punished  for  being  what  we are in  order  to be  what  we are not(after all  we are still  slaves under Europeans).The internal  will  not flourish  if  it is still controlled by  the  external. Africans will remain poor if they are still controlled by foreigners (Europeans) YOU DON’T HAVE LAND, YOU DON’T HAVE FREEDOM.
