When we see such messages that Donald Trump,Joe Biden etc has said this and that; we need to know that all those statements are part of the propaganda machinery from the West. Answers to our problems as Africans are found in our people and what God has put in our continent.
The answer is not in caring about what America and Europe thinks. That is why it is sickening to hear sycophants like Andrew Mwenda saying that the passing of the anti-homosexuality bill will let the economy of Uganda suffer. He is now trying to threaten our President from signing the bill into law.
We know that there is not even one economy in the entire nations of the world that the West has built. No, not even one. They work 24/7 to make sure that Africa remain poor and subjugated. That is why in the past I said that let the church pray for God to raise leaders all over Africa of the Magafuli type who will refused to listen to the lies of the West and shun the greed of the Chinese.
Tanzania’s infrastructure which John Pombe Magufuli built in 5 years made the Western economic strategists very uncomfortable in their seats. Late President Magufuli believed in fair dealings when it came to bilateral trade relations. You need to know that the West was very unhappy with Magufuli and many rightly believed that they had a hand in his death.
Another leader Africa lost was Gaddafi.
Though I am a Pastor, I was a great sympathiser of Col Muammar Gaddafi. Why? Because he was a great African leader who worked for the good of his people and valued the unity of Africa. What most of us were fed with about Gaddafi came from the propaganda machinery of the West. Libyans in Gaddafi’s era never paid electricity Bill’s, medical bills etc and the state provided them with subsistence allowance when they were still jobless after college.
The only person now remaining who can set a pace for Africa is our President, Museveni. We need to pray for him for protection and boldness. Uganda has what it takes to revolutionize the economy and set a pace for Africa. Once other African nations see that the answer lies within our nations and people, then Africa will truly become free. Shalom.
