Africa Hero

 Opinion news

               Let us speak of the great achievement that one of African man just accomplished and to be precise they are two of them in that team of Chelsea, I am speaking of N'golo Kante and Edouard Mendy the champion of Europe the most coveted cup in the world of football, but I will only talk about N'golo Kante because he has been consistent and his rise to the world of football is been awesome.

               This African son, as many before him show us that when you give an African son opportunity and proper environment, these African son are really excellent and their gifts and talent is second to none, in the past African son like, Roger Milla, Samuel Eto, Patrick Mboma, Kanu, JJ Okosha, Finindi George, George Weah, Kabongo Ngoie, Makelele, and Lucas Radebe the list goes on and on because this African son have show cast their talent all over the league of Europe with success that is above any one of their European and South American teammates.

                The story of N'golo Kante is very peculiar, this guy rise in the stardom is amazing and it make everyone to pay attention to it, as African and born in Africa, from Mali without any financial support from his parent but having only the dream like most of African man, one day I will go to Europe and better my life, above all he have the gift and talent of football which is running inside his blood, it all started in France, what make him special, the man is small not a giant like most of the boys from Africa are, and he is playing in the position where according to expert you supposed to be giant and tall but N'golo Kante is not none of that, what is interesting Wenger when he was Arsenal manager refused to buy him because he was small, who know if this was the blessing which he needed, otherwise we were not going to see the magic that we are seeing right now.

                 In the year 2014, N'golo Kante make his debut as professional footballer at the club called Caen, one of the small club in France not all the glamour teams of France Ligue1, from day one, he did not let the opportunity past him and he got it with both hands. then in 2015 in reality this is just the following season, then he join Leicester City for 9 million which is modest consider how the transfer market is perceived, also let us say this the premier league in England it is the most competitive league in Europe and it is very physical, here we have N'golo Kante small in physic and a playing in the middle of the park, oh my word N'golo Kante conquer England with amazing display of skill which was above all and him and Leicester City teammates make the unthinkable by winning the premier league above teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City this was in 2016, and this is his first major cup achievement , 2017 he join Chelsea one of the big club in England and Europe in the same season he won again the premier league, his second major honor in the club level, then come 2018 the world cup France manage to make him play for them, he became the world cup winner with France,in 2019 he became Europa league winner with Chelsea this is another major honor, then this year 2021 in champion league with Chelsea N'golo Kante was the great player above the rest, he destroy Madrid in the semi final alone and he handle Manchester City in the final again, as for the rest of his majors honor either with the club or national team, N'GOLO KANTE  was and is the core of the team, it is like without him the engine will not work or start, in only six seasons the incredible N'GOLO KANTE made a clean sweep of all major club and country honors, now let me say at 11 of July of 2021, he will be European champion with France, this is an honor which so many players some of them the best in the world did not win these honors, I am seeing him being the ballon d'or of this year because there is no one like him this season.

              To conclude the man is so humble and down to earth like nothing is happening to his life, for him cups is just a benefit that come after doing his work, then is like he say next let us go again. this make me to say this with a proper situation and environment Africa and African can change the world and make Africa a better place for all, before honor is humility, N'golo Kante smile and humility must i repeat it must teach us one things and how make our opportunity count.

Let Africa Arise again through is gifts and talent not only minerals.

        Be bless all

Africa day

 Opinion news

                The 25 of may is the Africa day, As an African man I have a thought for this beautiful continent it population endure a lot of hardship but they still standing tall, and they smile and sing their songs with a great big smiles on their faces.

                 Africa as a name was also given to this beautiful land by the outsiders who come here put the population of this beautiful continent under extreme conditions, let me start by saying before the whites man come into AFRICA, they were Kingdoms which have great civilization and great prosperity and also great people some of them did do great trips to Saud Arab of today for religious pelerinage and the man was the riches man on the earth at that times, Soudiata Keita the King Manden Empire, one of the great empire in Africa, the Monomotapa empire, the Luba and Kongo kingdoms in Congo, the Zulu Kingdom with the great Shaka Zulu, also the Timbuktu which was the high place of learning, my opinion will not contain all this name because the list is long of this great things that the African people did before the coming of the white man in Africa, the concept that is out there, Africa was without civilization before the coming of the white man is false, the fact is the old Egypt was rule by African that goes with all the pyramid and things found in Egypt was made by African and to be precise blacks African, and this was a prosperous and more civilize Africa ever, than what they are trying to sale to us by the narration of the oppressor, African saying goes like this the day a lion will tell us his story we will stop believing the hunters story. and that times is now that African must tell their own story to the world.

               In 1996 then the president of South Africa, president Thabo Mbeki give a speech[ I will advice you the google it] that speech was I AM AN AFRICAN, at the end of the speech He said today I am proud to be African, that speech change my perception of Africa that I am living in, because the difficulty of Africa make me to be blind of how beautiful Africa is, the Africa land is so beautiful with forest, rivers, desert, animals oh we have Lions, Elephant, Okapi in Congo, Rhinos, Leopards and many kind of snakes, the list is long, our land beneath got all kind of minerals Gold, Diamond, Copper, Coltan, platinum, Oil and many more even we have not yet discover that is how rich Africa is all about,on top of it all it is young continent with a great number of younger population in the world that is the potential which make us to be different and it will make us rise easily.

            But beside all this great things that the almighty God has shower Africa with, we still having huge problem, when you watch the news of Africa it always about wars, sickness natural disaster, political fighting which I do not want to lie it is depressing by watching those kind of the news, also let say there is also great story to tell of how the modern Africa is changing, there is also African children who are contributing in the world development, in the science, economy, even in sport and music for decade modern African are the pioneer in this domain, in some of the cases they are doing it outside of their mother land because the condition is favorable but after they are still African, all is not lost but we still have a long way to go to make Africa rise again.

          We need to reflect on this after going through the slavery and still standing tall, colonization and still standing tall, apartheid still standing tall, segregation and racism still standing tall and seeing how our brothers and sister young as they are dying at the sea by trying to cross to Europe for better life, it break my heart and say we still have a lot to do to make this paradise continent paradise again not only in the spirit but with see it in our life time, built a better Africa for all African.

Africa Arise is a reality 

In this Africa Day I am proud to be call African

Pandemic the Covid-19 issue

 Opinion news

                Let me first give the meaning of the pandemic, pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious diseases that has spread across a large region, for example multiples continents or worldwide, now as we know what is all about, I still remember when WHO did declare Covid-19 as a pandemic, the world was in the panic and experts and no experts were all speculating of what was going to happen and even the religious leaders enter the frame, I can said the situation was muddy.

                My point is not about finding who is guilty about this pandemic but I will want to address something here, this pandemic started in China, and how did China deal with about it remain a mystery because there is no much that the Chinese authority are release about the beginning and where did it originated but in small amount of time all the world was in the fire of this pandemic, yes the saying that goes the world is a small village was proven correct by the pandemic Covid-19.

               They were people or so called experts whom did said Africa continent will be the most affected of all because of the poor facility of hospitals and the health facility in many African countries are not up to the developpe countries, but they were all wrong because the so called developpe countries were losing people badly and their so called modern hospitals were no longer able to accommodate the sick people and panic and scary moment was all over the place and they was a time no one knew what to do! then the race to vaccine started and we now hearing about the vaccine will be deliver in about short period of times which was done and let me say it is a miracles.

                Let me say this again in all of this and which many people died in Europe, America and now India and South America but Africa still have very few number of dead people or sick of Covid-19, expect South Africa and all the experts have no answers to this, I can only said thank you to God all mighty.

                The point I want to make is when the vaccine was made to the people, we are now seeing the true character of the human being, then the class has appear again between the rich and the poor countries, because the vaccine became the rare commodity that only the rich countries want to have it and keep it for themselves, first the created what they covax where they said it will accommodate all the poor countries, then people said bravo this is noble thing to do, but wait a moment then the same rich countries whom wanted to support the poor countries went ahead and buy all or most of the vaccines and stock it all in their countries even in some instant they buy more even what they need to have, they did not even hearken to the WHO that equitable distribution of the vaccines to all is essential for the eradication of the pandemic but this rich countries did not hear that and they went ahead got the vaccines for themselves, it is like the race for the vaccines was open and the rich countries have formula 1 cars and poor countries have cart race cars, you will see for yourself the result will not be the same, we know find ourselves that rich countries are now vaccinating kids because they have finish with the vaccination of older people, even some of them are giving money as a way to bring those among them does not what to get the vaccination, when in Africa for example in the time of my writing not even 1% of the population is vaccinated and in Asia also not many have been vaccinated, now we are seeing India being under very sever wave of covid-19 but the rich countries are having stocks of the vaccine that they do not need or used.

                there is also the issue of the wave of the vaccines patent that some African countries must used and make the vaccines themselves because most of African still not trusting the vaccines, the history the vaccines with African need to be consider here, and also it must not became the way of making money and making African to be poor again with the selling of the vaccines.

                This is what make me to conclude with the Biblical verse from John 13:34, that I will say Christ love for us is not dependent on quality in us that make us lovable. He love us because He is love regardless of our strengths or weaknesses. in same manner I am calling to the rich countries to come to their sense and compassion that make them do covax for poor countries and if the vaccines is the most answer for this pandemic therefore let it be given to all countries a respective of the strengths and weaknesses of the poor countries, that is what Jesus said love your one another, we will not fulfil that when others countries are suffering from the covid-19 and others are busy closing down their borders for others that is not what call love one another and the world is a small village.

For us the overcome the pandemic let us care and love for one another.

take care and see you next time for another opinion
