Kenyans,

Tribalism is a big disease that all of us should and must overcome. Black race living in Africa will not develop unless and until we do away with tribalism. Africans do well outside Africa and generate a lot of wealth for the host countries but back at home Africa still beg and people live in limbos. Today you see even European youths or USA youths being sent to Africa to help in development and they end up even giving advices to various ministries in Africa at a time when a real born African scholar is hardly heard.

African dictators see human nature in Africa as an enemy that have to be overcome. The atmosphere these dictators create are so forceful and dynamic each in its own space but hardly works in the outside world. The job of corruption is to free the forms that are already inside the system they create. These dictators believe that every tribe has its own culture within it, so why unite them.

The main work of the subject (people) is to provide labour and money for dictators and in case the subject grow horns chip them off. That will make them work much harder. But these dictators have forgotten that the time of independence when they were considered as heroes have gone. The present African child, youth or adult have changed, they want to see their continent to be developed and look just like Europe. We live in the dot.com time, people communicate , we have the internet. Africans also need development and freedom, people need to be ruled like human beings, Africans need laws and need that constitution laws are followed and respected.

Times when people like Kenyatta used to tell thieves to steal but make sure you are not caught are gone. If African leaders follow the law they will set an example even to their subjects and to the future leaders. But keeping on doing things which are unconstitutional only send bad signs to future leaders. How do you expect a future leader to behave if the ongoing one does not follow the law?. Election is not a cure, neither it is a prevention of bag governance. Election is just a simple way of putting out the old cloth away and buying a new one, but because of African constant poverty, an African keep on the same cloth for even 31 years (mubarak), 24 years(Moi), 25 years(Museveni) and people like Mugabe, Kibaki is also already showing weakness of old cloth in his thinking of dealing with things despite the fact that he has just been a president for less than 10 years.

The bottom line is this if an African man and woman does not rise up to say enough is enough nothing will change in Africa, whether Africans run to Europe or USA it does not matter, development will not come to African continent.

All these dictators are going to be swept away by the wave of people power blowing in Africa from Tunisia down south.
