My lecture is
addressed to acquaint you with the historical and dialectical significance of
our demands for reparations for the damages inflicted on the Black Race by the
white Race and the colonial imperialist lasting a period of more than 500 years
in human History.
The white Race, starting
from the Portuguese, Dutch, British, United States, Belgium, France, Germany,
Sweden and the entire European Union as well as many Arab Nations forcibly
removed able men and women from the soils of Africa [Peace loving people, who
never offended them] to slave in America and Europe under chains and most
denigrating conditions ever conceived by mankind, as the beast of burden to
build the western civilization.
The present glories of the
western civilization were built by the blood and sweat of the black slave of
fortune. On the enslavements and dastadious violation of the Black Race on a
global basis.
More than 500 million able
men and women were plucked in their prime from mother Africa
to slave in plantations and factories, used as the scourge of the earth,
denigrated and humiliated and in many cases killed by their oppressors all for
a singular economic reason of building wealth and prosperity for their own
Nations using unpaid slave labor. The situation is despicable and a bad case in
Race Relations.
They did not stop at that,
they followed with the bestiality of colonization, looting the wealth of the
entire Africa and killing and destroying the
great glories of the empires of the entire African people. Looting all the gold
bullions, and bars, all the diamonds, minerals as well as human resources.
Destroying all the features of our formidable African institutions and
primordial legacies and loyalties. Looting all the works of Art, Artifacts, and
all valuable conceptions, being and essence of our superlative and qualitative
African civilization and supplanting it with decadence.
They Raped mother Africa in a larceny that will terrify Chiron -de
Centurion!! - they continued another
neo-colonialist slavery of economic,
cultural and technological imperialism that is with us today and perhaps will
be our faith till the end of the 21st century unless we do something drastic to
stop them.
And that is why Africa is
poor and they Europe and America
are rich]. This lecture is out to prove the scientific instances for the
justification of our demands for Reparations costs to be paid to Africans at
home and in Diaspora. The laws of production relations have proved beyond
doubts that this impudence was purely economical as it conforms to all the Laws
of Karl Marx as developed by Franz Fanon and Antonio Gramsci. Marcus Garvey,
Martin Luther King Jnr and Malcolm X also noted this economic undertone.
Basorun MKOAbiola [Chairman
of EPG [Eminent Persons Group on Reparations] offers the following
observations:
“Today many of the
problems afflicting Africans and Blacks in Diaspora are the direct results of
the damages done by slavery, colonization and imperialism without reparations
these problems cannot be solved. Just like a man whose leg has been broken
cannot walk much less run until the damage has been put right and his wound
healed”
This simplistic but highly
intellectual and dialectical simile drawn by Basorun Abiola summarizes the
plight of all black people on a global basis and proffers its solution.
In the United States of
America Black children are likely to end up in jail than go to college. Blacks
are relegated to live in ghettos and slums with all the doors of opportunity
slammed.
In Latin America of Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina Blacks are hounded and killed
in all the streets of Bones Ares, Bogotá and Bahamas. And yet it is our gold,
blood and sweats that built these great cites of western civilization.
Our Game Plan is to position Basorun MKO Abiola the
leader of Reparations movement as the Executive President of the Nigerian
Federation. He is determined to lead the entire black race out of the wood and
lead the Black Race into the 21st century with Nigeria
in front pulling the rest of Africa and the entire population of Blacks in America and Diaspora
behind and along. The Game Plan is to make Nigeria into a Super power Nation
[economically and militarily] with modern powerful defense initiative that can
face any other Nation on land air and sea!
Basorun Abiola
will begin a MARSHAL PLAN for rapid development of Africa
and assist Blacks in Diaspora. There will be mass exodus of Black people from
the western world back to Africa; engineers, Doctors, bankers, experts, funds
and investments for rapid development of Africa.
Basorun MKO Abiola is a great son of Africa
that the entire world respects immensely. The United States classified his intelligent
Quotient as one of the 1% of the world population. And that he is the product
of the finest mould in human creation. A person in this cartegory determines
their own salary in any corporation he works and must be the leader as well as
have a sizable percent of stocks of the company. His name open doors in the
most exclusive circles of the world and this is one of the greatest gift of God
to Africa at this juncture to lead Africa out of the wood into the world of
Economic and social prosperity.
This book we are launching here today is one of the
greatest books ever written on earth in the context of Research and Development,
scientifically into Race Relations and many other vexing topics of our contemporary
time addressed to guide, shield and direct our journey to the Promised Land. We
bequeath this book to the movement of Basorun MKO Abiola as a reference book of
instructions, as a book to motivate and as a sword to fight on, to deliver the
Black Race from exploitation of the imperialists on a global basis.
It is given as a
simile of the Prof. Wole Shoyinka’s Translation of the great improvisations of
T.S Fagunwa of the “Forest of a Thousand Demons’; where the seven hunters were
armed and given the mission to go into the evil forest of millions of demons to
conquer and solve all the problems that bedevil the Human Race and in that same
order we banquet this book to you to do the same for the Black Race on a global
basis…To liberate the Black Race from the shackles of slavery, colonization and
imperialism and remove the shame from all our faces that we are not cowards…
Africa has been violated for the past 700 years and this
denigration continues from one generation to another. It is time to put our
foot down and say enough is enough….
….And we are all waiting for that glorious day when you
will present our demands for apology, restitution and reparations on the floors
of the United Nations General Assembly……
….. We are patiently waiting for the day you will
announce our membership of the United Nations Security Council as a permanent
member with equality of veto in the status of other 8 super powers of today…..
… we are waiting for that day that you will announce to
the whole world on the floors of the UN General Assembly the arrival of a Black
Supper Nation that can face any other super power militarily and economically
on land, air and sea…and stand its grounds…..just like H.E. Nikita Krushov, the
great Soviet Leader announced in the 60’s on the floors of the UN General
assembly of the arrival of the Soviet Union to face any other power on land ,
air and sea, were he pulled his shoe and banged it on the table , to sound a
note of warning that the Soviet Union is second to none….
……..Just like H.E. Josef Dugashvilli Stalin met on equal terms other powers in Yalta to
shape the present world order… so shall we meet other powers very soon , to
shape a new world order on the terms of equality, diplomatic reciprocity,
détente…mutual respect…and deterrence…
…..all the ideas, logistic and stratagems to achieve
this great goals are well spelt out in the book…The Seething World- Reparations
for Africa – A functional approach that we are launching today and presenting
to you as a gift of solemn bequest to march on and conquer the world. You are
our own Napoleon Bonaparte; you are our own Alexandra the great…you are our
Vladimir Lenin…you are our own George Washington….you are our chairman Mao…
May God almighty help us in our resolute journey to
achieve this greatness for Nigeria,
Africa and the Black Race in generality….
… Thank you. God bless Africa
and the Black Race in entirety……. AMEN....cont. next edition..
