Democracy is deceit; Capitalism in Africa is a disease; in Nigeria, they're trying to fix an entity that doesn't exist..

Dear PLOfoundation,
I have once prayed, "oh God! Keep me vibrating on the frequency of The Black Man's restoration and Africa's greatness untill I become the frequency itself." I think God Did.

Thank God, I have an inquisitive mind, for if not, how would I have saved myself from the mental slavery of Westernization which has corrupted and undermined every aspect of the black man's experience and existence. Our generation are identifying the problems and we are brainstorming solutions. Never again are we going to keep ourselves locked up in the blame room; we shall mentally emancipate Africa, fight international and domestic capitalism; and restore our spiritual pillars which were hijacked. I believe in the principle of rythmn that whatsoever goes up must come down, and thus Africa must reclaim her lost and unvalued glory...

I'm a writer and a poet, and all I do with my pen and voice, wherever I find myself in the midst of my brethren is to try my very best to sow seeds of African rebirth in their minds. I do not believe in democracy as modelled bybthe British and copied by Africans. As a journalist I believe in the power of the media; building an African media agency like the Arabs built Aljazerra will save us alot of souls... Please LUMUMBA, I want to emerge. I have also said in prayer, "for the cause of African restoration, let me reincarnate untill it's completion." For the sake of Africa I have quote Nelso Mandela "...if for this cause I have to die, then let me die."

I have written a collection of poem black consciously written, and I'm currently writing a book, I talk to the black man, it's purpose is to make the African man to return to himself. Is it not a pity that while other continents set the pace for the next millielum, Africans are still struggling with self discovery?

Please help me by adopting me into your foundation for Nothing else would best fullfil me... Time and focus to study more for this cause and lead as well as impact into the next generation is what I want to live my life for.
I know these are strong words....

I'm 26 years old. I hail from Igbo, Nigeria. I'm currently rounding up my journalism studies at the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra Stage, Nigeria.

I await your feedback with great concern...

THE FACE OF SARAH BAARTMAN

The story of Sarah Baartman of South Africa who had an unusual long backside.

Sarah Baartman, also known as Saartjie Baartman, was a Khosa woman who was born in South Africa in the late 1789. She is famous for being exhibited as a freak show attraction in Europe in the early 18th century because of her large buttocks, which were considered unusual and exotic at the time.

Baartman was born in the Gamtoos Valley, in what is now the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. She was a member of the Khoikhoi, a group of indigenous people who lived in the region. As a young woman, Baartman was taken from her home by a British ship's doctor, William Dunlop, who promised her work as a servant in Cape Town. However, instead of being employed as a servant, Baartman was taken to England and exhibited as a sideshow attraction under the name "Hottentot Venus."

Baartman's large buttocks and elongated l***a were considered unusual and exotic, and she was put on display in London and Paris, where people paid to gawk at her. She was also made to perform various tricks, such as dancing and singing, for the entertainment of spectators. Baartman was treated poorly during this time and was not paid for her performances.

Baartman died of siphilys in 1815 at the age of 26. She was sexually assaulted multiple times and her captors paid in exchange to experience ssehura also know by stage name The Hottentot venus , and her remains were dissected and put on display in a museum in Paris. In 2002, the South African government successfully campaigned for the return of Baartman's remains to South Africa, and she was finally laid to rest in 2002.

Baartman's story is a tragic one and serves as a reminder of the exploitation and mistreatment of people of color throughout history may she rest in eternal peace...
