Hi Guys,

Welcome to my blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its so good to see that just like myself, you are very interested in what happens in mother Africa. The dynamics of the times we live in has changed over the past decade and has to a greater extent affected the our motherland for better and for worse. We have seen over the years, the advent of indigenous African entrepreneurs making their mark on the international stage with a workforce and resources based whole in Africa. At the same time also, we have seen what some will term the neo-colonisation of Africa by China with the attendant impact it has brought on the continent.

As a greater percentage of us Africans are becoming educated and urbanised now compared to decades ago, we are becoming more prudent and interested in what is happening in our motherland especially in how our elected/appointed politicians are running the affairs of our motherland. In one way or another, we have either agreed with or disagreed with certain legislations passed by the national assembly in our respective countries but feel we cannot do anything about it. Also there could have been legislations passed by Western nations affecting Africans whether in diaspora or at home which we agree or disagree with but feel we cannot say or do anything about them......We can!

It is not an exaggeration to say that this form of colonisation has drawn sharp criticism from the Western nations and some Africans also. On the other hand, having spoken to a few Chinese nationals, they see or rather believe that the adventure of China in Africa is for mutual benefit as opposed to the colonialist Western nations over the centuries.  I believe as Africans we are interested one way or another in all of this and want a platform to have a say in what is happening in our motherland.

Perhaps it may be some goods about our mother land that we want to share or want others to know about. It is often said that we are a product of our environment and inherently as Africans, intrinsic, deep cultural heritage and values would one way or another affect our opinion on issues.  Now we have a virtual African senate that will debate issues for and against issues that affects Africans from the African perspective.

This platform provides an avenue for the interaction of African minds to explore African problems by
Africans.

Yours

Justice
