Slavery,how do you define slavery!According to me,it is the most inhumane act and no one should experience it nor be a subject to it.
Slavery did not just end during the colonization era.We are still facing this horrendous act.Let me go straight to campus.In one way or another we are slaves of either someone or something.
A lot of intellectuals argue that we are no longer slaves but hush!we are.Campuses still have whites as tutors yet a thousand of learned african lecturers are out there unemployed. Lots of universities contain white students yet a lot of Africans miss places in universities and even miss on scholarship opportunities.
A lot of African students opt to go study abroad forgetting that we have better universities in Africa and tutors prefer teaching abroad,accepting to be brainwashed and go teach some white kid in perhaps America,yet that one african kid needs your knowledge.A bit confusing right!
Let’s make it African to African,students are slaves to grades,they’d go to any extent to get good grades even have an affair with their lecturers which to some is a walk in the park.Not a big deal.For students to live luxurious lifestyles they would be slaves to anyone either their fellow students, tutors or some rich white man along the sandy beaches of Coast.Not being a racist either but we have to free ourselves from things that seem to chain us.
In one way or another,we are still slaves to something.Anything that you depend on.One can be dependent on their friend as they provide them with benefits.That is where friends for benefits come in.Once you get dependent on anything or anyone they start treating you differently.They feel like without them you are nothing! Which is true.
I had this friend of mine,who had a guy that provided him with everything.She had designer bags the likes of Louis Vuitton stuff,the latest shoes and changed hairstyles every week an expensive yet legit lifestyle.The lady depended so much on the guy that when the guy decided to get some other “toy”… She literally went mad,she was devastated, frustrated name it!She even had suicidal thoughts because of thinking of means of survival.Dependence on someone or something is dangerous.It is slavery!!
Let us be proud of who we are,take control of our territory.Allow no one to replace any black person.Say no to modern slavery and not forget our roots;where we come from.
