The biggest enemy of our progress is the current African elite.

Who are they and how to recognize them:

1. They have achieved a social status by association with the colonial apparatus. It means if we will ban English or French in Africa tomorrow, they will lose everything including themselves. If you’d ban the import of foreign milk, coffee, soap, they will fight us, because they prefer everything that is not local. They have turned our alienation into a social status. Not speaking our languages, not dressing African, not eating African, not building African, not dancing African,… all mean you have moved to a higher social status. Not being or looking African physically and culturally is viewed as better and more desirable way, and the petty elite represents that model.

2. They believe in white superiority and black inferiority. They live in Africa but just like the British colonizers did. From their house to their garden, they eat, dress, talk, behave like white. They only thing that reminds them their africanness is their skin color, otherwise they are ‘white with black mask’, like Frantz Fanon put it.

Why don’t they reject their skin color? Simply because it is profitable. It gives them the mask necessary to identify with the masses, otherwise Africans had already rejected white colonialism.… Read more

Village boy!

That’s how my friends affectionately call me.

The reason why I chose to live in countryside is because I want to be able to speak my mother language most of the time. 99% of the time.

I’ll speak colonial languages only when I have to deal with the colonial state apparatus here.

I’m depressed when I have to interact with any fellow togolese in French or any other colonial languages. It makes me sad, uneasy, hollow.

I feel good when I talk to people in my language, and the only place I could do that is in the countryside.

In Lomé the capital, endlessly people trap you in the colonial languages. I hate that.

Slowly, with group of friends we are doing our mother languages only whatsapp groups and social gatherings. You pay a $0.20 fine for every foreign words used during the conversation.

Furthermore, we are lobbying for making mandatory learning of any togolese language before a foreigner would get residence permit.

If you are pedophile, you better become a Catholic priest.

The Catholic Church is the best protection and a good defender of pedophiles worldwide.

Democracy is possible only in countries with a large aristocratic class.

Democracy is not for people earning their lives from wages. If you are poor you better live in China than in India.

Democracy is the cold war between factions of local aristocracy. Because each faction is strong enough to disrupt social order and cause chaos, which only profit the poor.

Aristocrats hate disorder, chaos. They have too much too lose. While benevolent dictatorship or generational chaos are the ways to shake social structures and give chance to more people.

When it comes to election, the aristocracy has all the tools to give the illusion of choice.

Democracy is for cold war. But cold war is possible only when every party has too much to lose to start a war. They prefer unsatisfactory current situation to unpredictable change.

In countries with so many people who have nothing to lose, democracy would only add to current chaos and misery.

For the current global aristocracy, exporting democracy is a way to keep current world order intact, with the same people at the top.
