FRANK UKONGA LECTURE 11- THE IMPERATIVES OF REPARATIONS TO AFRICANS TO  SURVIVE HUNGER, JOBLESSNESS, AID PANDEMIC, BLACK OUTS, EPILEPTIC INFRASTRUCTURES, DISEASES, DEATHS, GRIEF, MISERY AND SHAME. A PASSIONATE PLEA, TO THE SUPER POWERS, FOR ASSISTANCE.
A FOCUS  ON SOMALIA AND NIGERIA.
The problem is here again, the case of Million of children and adults dying in Somalia of hunger. The case of Millions of Nigerians displaced out of flood and environmental disaster, all over the African continent the story is the same things of news of woes, death, hunger and grief. The earnings of African Nation states from monoculture exports of primordial raw materials to the advance Northern industrial giants cannot fund the development needed in the Africa continent thereby plundering African Nations to go a borrowing. And remember he who goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing. The bulk of these problems are traced to the aspects of the tripartite of slavery, colonization and imperialism foisted on the African continent by the white Race. And because of this I published a celebrated book titled -The Seething World- Reparations for the Black Race- A functional Approach -in 1992 calling the entire world to focus attention on the problems of the African continent. Like wise Basorun MKO Abiola, was dedicated to the question of Reparations payments to Africa for the damages of the past which will assist the African continent to get back on its feet.
Slavery: In the research I conducted traveling to many countries of Europe and the America studying the manifests and Bills of Laden of shipments of slaves and stolen wealth from Africa I came to the empirical result that more than 500 million Africans were plucked in their prime to go and slave in plantations of Europe and America and used as the beast of burden to build the great cities of Paris, Brussels, Lisbon, New York, London, Bogota and Bones Aeries etal. The wealth, gold, natural resources of all kinds were stolen form Africa by the colonialist thereby leaving Africa in poverty, misery, hunger and shame. That is why we are calling on the white colonialist to come to the Aid of Africa today in particular Somalia and Most Areas of Africa devastated by their impudence of yore. The sum total of the wealth removed from Africa during slavery when calculated it in today’s value is astronomical and that has left Africa poor and underdeveloped.
COLONIZATION: The damage of colonization was very steep and these ware the real areas where Africa was raped and underdeveloped.
African Agriculture; the colonial system of Agriculture foisted on the African continent was to grow cash crops introduced by the colonialists to feed their industrial plants. Same with the system of Animal husbandry as in the  cases of Central and Southern Africa, where the whites introduced their own methods and species to the detriment of the African natural system of agriculture . this depleted the soils nutrient of the African continent as well as the tree falling in many African countries  as in lumbering, killing of wild life in search for Elephant tusks and skins of rear animals etc all have depleted the wild life of Africa and its agricultural glories of mixed farming. Whence, when the white left, Africa has become atrophied, from its traditional ways, and the problems of poverty, hunger, diseases etal set into the African continent.
Industries and Institutions: All the stable institutions of the African societies were destroyed to pave way for the colonial powers to govern Africa in their own style and methods. The institutions of Marriage, family life, economic life, political institutions, manufacturing, infrastructural development institutions, defense, government, public administration, commerce, architectural, building, banking, education, cultural institutions and every thing were destroyed. When they left it was impossible to go back to our traditional ways as it has been lost in the ebbs and tides of our truculent history. Which many researchers like W.E.B. Dubois called the double face consciousness of the African personality, the black skin but white character and in recent time Prof. ALi Mazuri developed the thesis of W.E.B Dubois in to a new level of Tripartite personality of the African person, focusing on the specifications of Islamization, African culture and Christendom and their advancements in to the African society.  Prof. Ali Mazuri sent me the thesis a few months ago and I agree with his thesis.
NEO Colonization: After independence the colonial masters spread a neo colonial web over the colonies ruling most African states with their surrogates and despotic African rulers for decades and later with the interventions of the military rulers who it was also convenient for the colonialist to do business with; Africa was plundered for upward of 4 decades and it is only a few years now that the wind of peoples democracy is blowing across Africa. This has underdeveloped the African continent as in the little post independence era where African would have been assisted to limp up gradually, was also wasted away.
BLACK ON BLACK IMPERIALISM: And in contemporary times a new phenomenon of Black on Black imperialism is blowing across the African continent were the aspects of market driven economy is inducing many Africans despots and their surrogates to loot the treasuries of most  African Nations dry in carnal, crass , wicked and satanic ways that leaves much to be desired. The contemporary situation will frighten any man or woman of goodwill; as poverty, joblessness, hunger, malnutrition, poor health system, homelessness, firming, frustrations, stress, deprivations, prostitution, aid pandemic, lack of water and electricity, misery, begging, destitution, poor infrastructural development, poor and sub standard education, mass failure in schools, all factories closing shops due to unfriendly production environment ,no electricity, voodoo and occult wickedness, accidents and death due to bad roads with pot holes, illiteracy, polio, inter tribal wars, civil wars, genocides, environmental and ecological death and degradations, and now we have a new phenomenon of terrorism, kidnapping, and all the kinds of ills that you cant think of is plaguing the African continent. All the resources and treasuries of the African continent are looted away by the new phenomenon of Black imperialist most of them driving jeeps, airplanes, speed boats, living in satanic opulence, while over 99% of the citizenry live in abject poverty, hunger, denigration, deprivation, misery, death, grief and shame. One of the most decadent cultures ever conceived on earth that will terrify Chiron the beast. A Hobbebian state of man has taken over Africa were life is short, brute and nasty. The situation is despicable.
“Mother Africa has been taken to the knackers and raped, its remnants served as food for vultures, beasts and scoundrels of a raven epoch…as it is written, the glories of Israel is slain upon the high places…tell it not in Garth, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelelon least the daughters of philistines rejoices, least the sons of the uncircumcised triumph….”.
CONCLUSION: This is a passionate appeal to the entire world to come to the aid of Africa. To help Africa develop its weak institutions, to save Africa from looting black on black imperialists, to save Africa from hunger, joblessness, illiteracy, aid pandemic, lack of water, electricity, poor education, mass failure in schools, perpetual black outs and no succor in sight, total destruction of the Real sectors of African economies ,epileptic infrastructures, bad roads, looting of all the treasuries of African countries, prostitution, canal democratic dispensations, tribalism, illiteracy, terrorism , kidnapping  etc. and that is why we are calling for REPARATION not as an act of affrontation but as a genuine plea of a needy brethren in quagmires, death, grief and shame….
