What life has taught me

I would like to share

And until that day, the African continent

Will not know peace, we Africans will fight

We find it necessary and we know we shall win

As we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

Bob Marley

WORDS OF WISDOM

(1) When one knocks on a door, they usually tap three (3) times (tap, tap, tap) with their knuckles while their fingers would be pointing at them. Can’t that be a reminder there is only one Triune God whom them too should worship!

(2) Wherever one goes on this earth, there is only ONE sun and sometimes the world is referred to as a place under the sun. Can’t this be a reminder to all men that there is only ONE universal Son of God in whom we should place our faith for our spiritual enlightenment!

(3) Isn’t it a true fact that it’s easier to elevate the lowly or humble because they leave enough room above their heads for that to happen without any hassles!

(4) Isn’t it True that:

a) Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail;

b) In success there is a degree of failure but more still in failure lies is a great deal success (someone may have failed a thousand times before they succeeded in their invention);

c) If one doesn’t Stand for Something they are most likely to Fall for Anything (If one aims at the moon they might catch a star);

d) One who spends more time on his knees cannot fall because he is already on the ground;

5) Isn’t it a common statement that ‘seeing is believing’ and yet because our physical eyes have limited vision, they is so much they can’t see and yet so true – to start with they can’t even on their own see themselves with themselves".

INTRODUCTION

A United States of Africa is not a mirage or a utopia but practical reality in the making. Having been born and bred in apartheid Rhodesia where Mudi a.k.a. Ice Black lost his whole childhood, Mudi loves the Economic Freedom Forum.

By rallying behind a revolutionary party like the EFF I believe Africans can realise then dream, Yes, We can as long as we remember that United we Stand, Divided we Fall. Once more we will be like them that dream, when look back at the 1884 Imperialist disaster which partitioned the mother of continent into assorted sad colonial allotments. Africa Woye, Viva Our Revolutionaries, Viva Kwame Nkrumah, Viva Haile Sellasie, Viva Jomo Kenyatta, Viva Kenneth Kaunda, Viva Julius K. Nyerere, Viva Samora Machel, Viva Maummar Gaddaffi, Viva Thomas Sankala, Viva Steve Biko, Viva Nelson Mandela, Viva Robert Mugabe (for saying among other things to the West Keep your money and we take back our land………show me one black African who owns land or a farm in England and I will give back the farms I took …..), to name a few Viva Africa. Africa will NEVER be colonised again!!! Honestly, I Look forward with an outstretched neck for that day when South Africa will be called by its revolutionary name Azania and together with other African states constitute the new USA (United States of Africa) practically enjoying full ownership and control of her natural resources (especially land and all that comes with it, for example wildlife and minerals thereof, the aqua world within their space and everything within the entire space above them), own their production and means of production, determine and dictate the price of their resources and products, for example gold, diamonds and oil, having a one common central bank, one common currency valued on the strength of her own gold bar resources, one president and speaking one language kiSwahili. It is then and only then that mother Africa, the cradle of civilization that bears the umbrical cord of the earth can without shame or apology, with her chin up and shoulders square boldy say she has regained her unadulterated originality, true Uhuru and Umoja as a Nation. One Africa, One Nation! United States of Africa Woye! Forward with the Revolution! Aluta continua until we complete the Revolution! Victory is Certain!

CHAPTER 1

Mudi’s says there are a Dozen Questions which many people of ethnic minority backgrounds in diasporas dare not ask probably because the answers thereof are obvious and the
