We live in a diverse and interconnected world. Yet, the lingering effects of colonialism remain. While the dichotomy may not always be obvious, the mindset of supremacy and oppression persists among some colonialists.
Many non-Africans still harbor the belief that they are superior and entitled to control everything, whether others agree or not. They believe Africans must serve them while they remain in charge. But this mindset is unjust and reflects a flawed, condescending way of thinking.
No human is inherently better than another. I’ve emphasized this repeatedly on my blog: this truth must be acknowledged and firmly ingrained in everyone’s mind. The color of one’s skin or their actions do not make them superior. Read this.
Differences will always exist—that’s an undeniable reality. And possessing certain strengths doesn’t make one person better or render another useless. Everyone has their unique abilities; they simply need to discover and harness them. Read Making Sense of Our Strengths.
As Africans, we often encounter demeaning stereotypes from non-Africans who view us as inferior, incapable, or subhuman.

They claim Africans cannot organize or govern themselves and must be "helped" to avoid chaos. But where were they during Africa’s golden ages—when the richest man in history was African? Where were they when Africa excelled in mining, agriculture, architecture, and medicine? Who do they think they are to dismiss our history and achievements?
Humility and mutual respect should govern human interactions. However, this will not be achieved until we, as Africans, assert that we are no less capable than anyone else. Progress and meaningful achievements do not require the intervention of outsiders.
The so-called "civilization" brought to Africa has, in many ways, done more harm than good. It has left many of us unproductive, purposeless, and distracted by trivialities. Our values and moral compass have eroded.
We’ve become more reactive, impulsive, and aggressive. We’ve become consumed by the noise of social media and technology. These distractions have caused widespread depression and fostered fake lives.

Families are breaking apart, children are growing up without strong values, and marriages are strained—all fueled by the superficialities of social media.
Even our health has suffered. We are glued to our phones 24/7, neglecting physical activity and other healthy habits. We consume unhealthy, trendy foods promoted online and follow the latest fads without considering their impact on our well-being.
Technology and social media have also derailed us from fulfilling our purpose. We spend less time on meaningful pursuits and more time watching endless videos and comedies online. Deep down, we know we could be doing something better, but we feel trapped—addicted to these distractions.
In essence, we’ve become slaves to the products of white-dominated industries. What we once saw as a blessing has, for many, turned into a curse.
It’s time to wake up and break free from this cycle of dependency. The issue isn’t the technology itself but how we’ve allowed it to dominate our lives. We’ve turned gadgets, social media, and frivolities into idols, losing sight of what truly matters.
The issue is—we must refocus on our primary goals. It’s time to rediscover our strengths, work on them, and unite as a race. Capitalizing On Our Strengths As African People
