Africa’s Dysfunction, Our Celebration of Thieves And Fuckries [ A mostly perverted culture of BASIC human rights abuse masquerading as tradition]. Africans Must Subconsciously Collectively Want Change Enough To Materialize Change. 1st Law Of Maji

If Africa had a safety net—a sanctuary to embrace her children scattered and scarred throughout history and across the globe—those exiled by misfortune or persecution would find refuge in their motherland, just as Israel calls her children back to her embrace. 

Yet, even this simple vision misses us, as we remain shackled by self-inflicted wounds.

 Instead of creating unity, we burn our own—mothers, sisters, brothers, and fathers—as witches and wizards, clinging to ancient madness in this so-called modern era. Where such ignorance does not prevail, we face an equally destructive scourge: Africans turning against one another, sowing seeds of hate and destruction among their own.

Consider the distressing case of an Igbo woman Amaka Patience Sunnberger, an African mum, a mother, perhaps in her case a closet serial murderer OMG, what a public freudian slip even if.......... the Igbo female who recently used her voice not for healing, but for harm. 

In a moment of  'her' previously undetected mental illness and lunacy going AWOL she called for the poisoning of fellow Nigerians, advocating what can only be described as ethnic genocide. How far have we fallen when our own people see their kin as enemies, deeming annihilation a solution?

And what of the world? The response is a deafening silence. Western nations, including Canada, have turned a blind eye to her abhorrent rhetoric. 

Imagine, if you will, a parallel scenario: an Arab individual calling for the poisoning of Jews—or vice versa. The outrage would be instantaneous, sanctions inevitable, and justice swift. But when the hatred is Black on Black, the silence signals not just indifference, but complicity.

This tragedy to me is evidence of a deeper malaise—a spiritual, cultural, and psychological fracture, a disconnection or atrophy within the African psyche. 

So long as we devour one another, consumed by hatred and ignorance, Africa will remain bound by the chains of division, dumbness, inferior mentality and dysfunction. 

I do hope we have not completely betrayed ourselves, [nobody else], or sacrificed ourselves on the altar of self hate.

 

The Legacy of Enslavement and the Static Culture

Centuries of enslavement have left deep scars on African societies, leading to self replicating dysfunctional systems, family structures and a mindset that views culture as static rather than fluid. 

This rigidity stifles progress, as harmful practices are preserved under the guise of tradition. The enslavement of Africans led to babies raising babies, perpetuating cycles of trauma and dysfunction. Breaking this cycle requires redefining cultural identity to embrace adaptability and growth.

Africa has the resources, intellect, and resilience to chart a new course. But this requires unflinching honesty, a rejection of complacency, and a relentless commitment to transformation. The Stockholm Syndrome can end—but only if Africans collectively decide we are done being victims of our dysfunctions.

Africa’s political landscape is marred by corruption, where leaders embezzle our funds to enrich themselves while their citizens suffer. Astonishingly, these same individuals are often celebrated upon returning home after facing conviction in foreign courts.

Examples: James Ibori (Nigeria), convicted in the UK, and numerous others who are hailed as heroes back home despite their crimes. This culture of impunity sends a dangerous message: theft and dishonesty are acceptable if one is powerful enough. Changing this requires enforcing accountability through civilised legal frameworks and rejecting the glorification of corrupt individuals.

Cultural and Religious Exploitation

Cultural pride often veils harmful practices that retard societal growth. For instance:

The case of Aminu Danmaliki, a 60-year-old Islamic scholar in Nigeria who married an 11-year-old girl, proves a pervasive perverted culture of child abuse, pedophilia masquerading as tradition or religious doctrine. His defense of their union as “love” exposes a disturbing normalization of pedophilia in parts of the continent, which not only traumatizes victims but also perpetuates cycles of poverty and ignorance.

Corruption within religious and traditional institutions further compounds these issues, as many leaders prioritize personal gain over communal well-being.

 The Hollow Intellectual Content of Afrobeat and Pop Culture

The Afrobeat genre, once a platform for resistance and social commentary during Fela Kuti’s era, has largely devolved into shallow, escapist entertainment. While music is a tool for cultural expression, its current form promotes materialism and hedonism rather than addressing pressing societal issues. African artists must accept our role as cultural leaders, creating art that challenges oppressive systems, uplifts the people, and inspires change.

Learning from Historical Duh Failures

Africa’s history is riddled with instances of internal betrayal and shortsightedness, from our assassinations of our vet own heroes like:

Kwame Nkrumah, a champion of Pan-Africanism;

Thomas Sankara, a visionary for self-reliance;

Murtala Mohammed, a leader of integrity;

and even lovable son's like Malcolm X and Muammar Gaddafi, whose Pan-African initiatives could have transformed the continent. Instead of rallying around these leaders, many Africans either actively or passively enabled their downfall, often blaming the influence of external powers exploiting internal divisions. 

The harsh truth is that many of us, Africans, appear ignorant of, unaware, unprepared, or unwilling to make the sacrifices necessary for change. 

This sustains the status quo, where:

Leaders exploit their citizens.

Citizens resist meaningful reforms due to fear or ignorance.

Societal inertia prevents collective progress.

Solutions:  

Accountability in society from the family unit to the government paradigm: Enforce strict anti-corruption laws and empower independent institutions to hold leaders accountable.

Education Reform: Prioritize critical thinking, creativity, and skills-based learning over rote memorization.

Cultural Renaissance: Reject harmful traditions and encourage dynamic cultural practices to improve individual and collective self esteems.

Pan-African Solidarity: Unite African nations around shared goals, leveraging collective resources to combat external exploitation.

Psychological Empowerment: Shift our norms to value self-esteem, confidence, and the innate potential of every individual. Because of Hueman Potential, wealth, abundance and prosperity/ Ase
