MANDELA'S
REVEALED DREAM: A MASSACRE BY IDIOTS.
I
was at the Mandela
Day,
Gala
Dinner
at the Radisson
Hotel, in Swords, Dublin, Ireland; on Saturday the 19th
of July 2014.
The
Dinner Party was well organized by ANC Ireland, many people
representing different organizations were in attendance.
The
food was good the music was great, the dance floor was bursting with
energy in various dance steps from Africa to the Caribbeans and
everything in between including dance to Scottish Pipe music. All
went very well, then the Disc Jockey played Bob Marley's ONE LOVE,
the Dance Floor Exploded, many people had been siting all night, and
some people like me, that has hung my Dancing Shoes many years ago,
scrambled to the Dance Floor, singing and dancing to Marley's "One
Love".
The
dance floor was filled with Love, emanating from all of us on the
Dance Floor
though
our skin color and Nationalities varies; at that moment we all became
ONE, we all melted into one UNIVERSAL SOUL of LOVE.
Then
I experienced an opening of the Senses. Right there before me.
Mandela’s Dream was revealed to me as clear as a Sunny Day in
Jo'Borg.
It was nothing short of an Epiphany. What I saw was Beautiful and
Powerful. It is like the Gates of the Heavens were opened, welcoming
me into the Mind of God, revealing the original purpose of Divinity
for Mankind, that we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
In
that moment of Oneness with all Mankind, I experienced the Love of
God and that God is Love.
Looking
at the Rainbow Nation and the Rainbow Nationalities before me. I
vividly understood Madiba's Dream for South Africa.
A
South Africa where all Tribes and Races live in Peace and Harmony, an
Ideal worth Living for and if need be, an Ideal Worth Dying for.
This
is why this recent wave of Xenophobic attacks in South Africa is
particularly very painful to me.
Because,
probably, South Africa and South Africans (both Black and White) are
the most Beloved People and Country in the World today. Everybody Love the South Africans.
Thanks
to Mandela, when people think of Africa their mind go first to S. A.
That
is why South Africa became the Capital country of
Africa, and Pretoria the Capital City of Africa. Jo'Borg is to
Africans what New York City is to the Western World.
This
was achieved in one generation, this is a Legacy that all South
Africa citizens should hold dear.
Being
an Expatriate in many countries, all my adult years, I can not but
have a strong opinion about this recent incidents.
Mostly,
Xenophobia is always started by, the Economically Marginalized of the
Society. Those that contribute little or nothing economically to the
local Economy.
They
spread the Myth that Foreigners take their Jobs. Foreigners, got that
Job in the first place, because you are not working that Job.
Mostly
the Xenophobic ones are the Lazy ones, who in their Foolish Pride are
too proud to dirty their hands with Manual Labor. Often, they are not
educated in any form of trade.
More
often than not, the immigrants, come into the host Country, Hungry
for Success, will do any type of odd job, even with a University
Degree in his pocket
from
his Country of Origin.
By
dint of hard work, most immigrants prosper over the years, in their
host country, than their Local Contemporaries.
Xenophobia,
really, has its roots in Jealousy, the locals, out of Jealousy,
starts a campaign of hate against the successful Migrants.
They
forgot that, when they, the Locals, were smoking and drinking their
life away in the Night Clubs of their Cities and Towns, their Migrant
Counterparts were working three Jobs simultaneously.
Although
most Xenophobic are Illiterate Idiots, they are too Stupid to
Understand the repercussions of their actions. They lack the
Intellectual Faculty to understand the Intricacies of a modern day
society.
They
can not understand that, today, the world is a global village.
What
happens in one corner of the world will resonate, around the World.
For
example, some Nigerians are advocating for the boycott of MTN Network
in Nigeria, for two weeks. In protest, MTN being a South African
Company that makes most of its profits in Nigeria. Actually the
profit that MTN Nigeria, make in one Quarter, is more than what every
Nigerian in South Africa put together, make in one whole year.
That
is just one South African Company, there are many Companies from
South Africa, thriving, all over Africa.
The
Xenophobes, must be educated to understand that, the days of tribal
warfare are over. We have to learn to tolerate each other.
Killing
and Burning each other alive is Unacceptable, It is Inhuman, It is
Barbaric it is Ungodly.
The
Government should try to Alleviate the Sufferings of this Destitute
people, in the form of a Government Life Subsidy. Because Abject
Poverty turns Men into Animals.
If
we in Africa continue to neglect, the Poor and the Vulnerable amongst
us, we shall end up loosing more, than the minimal money that is
needed for their uplifting right now.
I
actually believe that those Nations that the Gods want to punish
Economically, are the ones, that drive away foreigners from their
Country.
Unfortunately
we Africans do not learn from our past mistakes.
It
is a Myth that, foreigners ruins Local Economy; to the contrary,
Foreigners do create Economic Boom in Countries that welcome them.
For
example, during the last World Financial Crisis, that hits most
Countries of the world, Canada is probably, the only country in the
world, that does not suffer a scratch. Canada has been (Importing) I
mean, Inviting, Migrants into Canada for many years now.
In
the 70's Ghana drove Nigerians out of Ghana. After the Pogrom,
Ghanian Economy Nose Dived, by the Early parts of the 80's over Two
Million Ghanians were immigrants in Nigeria. Doing all types of Jobs
contributing massively to the Nigerian Economy.
Sadly
for Nigeria and due to most of our African Leaders Fire Brigade
approach to Serious National issues.
Ghanians
were sent packing, because, a Ghanian Driver stole a Peugeot 504
Saloon Car he was employed to drive for a Nigerian Government
Official.
Nigerian
Economy, went Burst, after the Exodus of the Ghanians. By Mid 90's it
is the Nigerians that started migrating to Ghana and every Country on
Earth. This trend continue till dis Day.
Talking
of present Day, in 2007 the World Economy suffered a Burst, it
affected many Countries. But the worst affected were Greece and
Ireland my current Home. I lived and went to College in Greece,
so I know both Countries and their mindset.
Ireland,
despite the Economic Bitter Pill that it has to take, remain
Inclusive to Migrants, actually giving Irish Nationalities to the
Foreigners amongst them in tens of Hundreds. Ireland won the Respect
of the International Financial Communities, because we have started
our Economic Recovery.
Greece
on the other hand, a Xenophobic and Highly Racist Country especially
against Black Africans. Is in a Financial Mess that will take about
Three or Four Generations of Greeks, to get out of.
Greece
got into its Financial Mess in the first place, because, it does not
include Foreigners in her Economic Life. Immigrants in Greece, live
on the Fringes of Society.
I
know Black Africans in Greece, that, has been living there since the
70's. They Born their Children in Greece and their Children are
having Children now. Their Children Mother Tongue is Greek. Yet the
Greek Government does not Recognize them as part of the Society.
They
still have to apply for a yearly resident permit. Three
Generations?!!!.
Many
still Live as Illegal Immigrants when the Greek Government refuses to
renew their Permit.
There
is no Hope for the Greek Economy in the Foreseeable Future.
If
you think about it, you will see that the countries that welcome
Immigrants are always well off. Like, USA, UK, CANADA, etc...
This
is why I say that, those Nations that the Gods want to punish
Economically, are the ones, that drive away foreigners from their
Country.
We
all have to support the South African Government, in educating this
people, and removing the Root Cause of Xenophobia, which is severe
Poverty.
We
should not allow Ignorance, to Massacre Mandela's Dream for South
Africa.
