Can we truly compete against this? Against individuals conditioned from childhood to perform with unparalleled excellence in their endeavors.   Can we rival a company that operates at such an extraordinary level of productivity, bolstered by cutting-edge technology?   To do so demands genius-caliber talent—the ability to conceive something truly distinctive—coupled with relentless dedication to refine it daily. Such prowess cannot be improvised or purchased; talent, by its very nature, is innate.   And because it is innate, talent is formidable—a divine endowment that must be honed through disciplined effort.   Thus, the ultimate differentiators are creativity and branding. You must identify what sets you apart, cultivate it into an unparalleled offering, and meticulously craft it into your signature while fostering an entire cultural ethos around it.   This is the crux of Europe’s decline: it lacks the creative dynamism and relentless p...

«Vous connaîtrez la vérité, et la vérité vous affranchira.»  Ce n’est pas la vérité en elle-même qui libère, mais sa pleine compréhension. C’est pourquoi il est pernicieux d’affirmer à un Africain que les Blancs lui auraient « volé » ses terres et ses richesses.   La réalité objective est que l’Afrique est exploitée parce qu’elle a été conquise. En revanche, qualifier les Blancs de « voleurs » relève d’une négation de cette vérité. Ils ne sont pas venus en Afrique comme des larrons nocturnes, dérobant terres et ressources pendant le sommeil de nos ancêtres, pour que ceux-ci se réveillent dépossédés. C’est précisément cet asservissement intellectuel que subissent les Africains lorsqu’on les enferme dans cette représentation des colonisateurs comme de simples « voleurs ». Une telle rhétorique, en alimentant leur ressentiment et leur colère, les maintient dans l’aveuglement et les détourne d’une réflexion plus lucide.   Prétendre que les Blancs ont « volé » nos ter...

"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." It is not truth itself that liberates, but rather its comprehension—which is precisely why it is deleterious to assert to an African that white people have "stolen" their land and wealth. The objective reality is that Africa remains exploited because it was "conquered"; to frame white people as "thieves" is a distortion of this truth. They did not infiltrate the continent under cover of darkness, pilfering territories and resources while our ancestors slumbered, only for them to awaken dispossessed. This very narrative—of casting whites as mere "thieves"—enslaves Africans anew, shackling them to a paradigm of perpetual grievance. By stoking hatred and indignation, it obstructs enlightenment, ensuring they never transcend their subjugation through critical thought.   To insist that whites "stole" the land is to reject the knowledge of truth and thus to reject emancip...

On vous fait croire que l'Afrique est petite, ce qui conditionne insidieusement votre esprit à votre infériorité renforcant votre statut de dominé - La vérité est que l'Afrique est plus vaste - 30 million de kilomètre carré - L'Afrique est plus vaste que toute l'Amerique du Nord et 3 fois plus grande que l'Europe - détenant 60 % des terres arables de la planète, dotée de toutes sortes de ressources naturelles abondantes dont le monde a besoin, et ce continent est si pauvre! Est-ce logique? Les Africains fréquentent les meilleures universités étrangères et obtiennent leurs diplômes, et les meilleures universités africaines offrent les mêmes programmes que ces universités, ce qui signifie que nous sommes instruits. Ne parlons même pas de nos capacités physiques. Alors, si nous disposons de ressources naturelles, d'une main-d'œuvre qualifiée, de terres arables et de force, sans parler de notre incomparable savoir ancestral (les pyramides sont là...

They make you believe that Africa is smaller, which insidiously conditions your mind to your inferiority reinforcing your dominated status. But the truth is that Africa is larger - with 30 million square kilometers, Africa is larger than all of North America and three times larger than Europe - holding 60% of the world's arable land - despite being blessed with all kinds of abundant natural resources that the world needs, this continent is the poorest! Is that logical? Africans attend the best foreign universities and graduate, and the best African universities offer the same programs as those universities, which means we are highly educated, (plus we have 45 millions blacks in the US) Let's not even talk about physical capabilities. So, if we have natural resources, a skilled workforce, arable land, and strength, not to mention our incomparable ancestral knowledge (the pyramids are there to testify), where are we failing? Our minds and our leadership—that is ...

The "Deterioration of Terms of Trade": A Brazen Act of Economic Plunder. Let us revisit the insidious phenomenon known as the "deterioration of terms of trade"—a euphemism for what amounts to "daylight robbery" in global economics.   Consider the case of Côte d’Ivoire. In the 1970s, this small West African nation (322,462 km²) emerged as the world’s leading producer of coffee and cocoa, an achievement hailed as the "Ivorian Miracle." Through a well-executed agrarian policy centered on coffee and cocoa cultivation, the country amassed a $10 billion trade surplus within just 15 years of independence (1960).   By then, Côte d’Ivoire boasted:   - A modern road network,   - Hydroelectric dams (ensuring energy self-sufficiency),  - Four airports, -Two major seaports,   - A railway network,  - Food sovereignty,   - A nationwide network of hospitals (CHU/CHR),   - Polytechnic and administrative schools,   ...
