MY TRIBE
(The enlightened warrior)

We have rediscovered the spirit of the African Warrior in us.

We are gathering to change the narratives. 
Gathering with an unquenchable spirit of  the African warrior, surging forward to define, to protect and preserve their cultural and traditional heritage.
They are sick and tired of hearing their stories from other continental historians.

We have successfully decolonized our mindsets.
We have freed ourselves from preconceived notions and stereotypes and so have allowed ourselves to fully experience the world around you.

We love who we are.
We love present.
We have made peace with our past.
We are very much aware of the exploitation and the injustice done in the past and are still being done.
We have distanced ourselves from the roll of the victim.
and we are now…Author and Architect of our destiny.

NEO-COLONIALISM 

​

Description:- 

Name: NEO-COLONIALISM 
Name: POST-COLONIALISM      (through her eyes)
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 140/120cm

Africa is experiencing another form of Colonialism. 
Post-Colonialism = By Sea
Neo-Colonialism = By Air.

“A state in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of it’s own destiny. It is this factor that make neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.”- Kwame Nkrumah 

Many parts of the world that are naturally rich are actually poor and parts that are not so well off in wealth of soil and sub-soil are enjoying the highest standards of living. Why?????
 
Chinese firms have begun a process of neocolonialism. 
Their companies attach large price tags to sparkling new airports, railway systems and highways that they know African governments cannot afford without heavy borrowing. The governments take loans that squeeze the countries’s credit rating, which were already under pressure. 

 It is true, AFRICA cannot achieve development unless it takes control of its resources! However, this is a very challenging mission not because it is difficult, but because colonial powers will never allow a truly nationalist leader to be in the lead. They know how to play their dirty games in order to obstruct any genuine attempt towards realization of sovereignty .
It’s time for all this chaos and destruction, oppression and colonialism/Neo-colonialism to end.

Neo-Colonialism = By Air.
