AS pointed out earlier, the imperial architects have tuned the human consciousness into a false perspective of time and in so doing, they have disconnected humanity from the rest of creation which operates on a different version of time.
In the current Gregorian scheme of time, you have a 12-month-year of 60-minute hours and 24-hour days with the months so ill-fitting that some are 30 days, others 31, while another is 28, or 29 every four years.
All this organised disorder is clearly for a purpose; to disconnect human consciousness from moon time (nature).
No wonder the Gregorian Calendar removed the 13th moon which is the natural case – 13 moon-cycle months of 28 days.
When you disconnect people from the natural flow of time, you are disconnecting them from all that operates in that flow of time.
To this end, the Western notion of time is out of sync with its environment.
In fact, all millennia are consequently manufactured points in time.
They exist not in themselves, but within the Gregorian calendar to which humanity has now been tuned.
All manufactured global timelines are calculated/counted from the centre (0) of London which most mistake for zero.
No, it is a symbol for centre.
If your curriculum is not exposing this, then what does it teach?
Africa, my Africa, aren’t you tired of being cheated?
And when direct colonisation came under siege, the same architects of deceit suddenly became ‘benevolent’ and gave independence to most African countries but not without calculated discretion.
To some African countries whose economies could be tethered with much ado to the metropole, the token independences were granted without much ado. Such was the case with most former French colonies which proudly accept being surnamed Francophone to date.
If their appointed leaders question the umbilical cord tying them one way to France, they are removed by manipulation or by force.
Such was the fate of Laurent Gbagbo of the Ivory Coast.
That is calculated discretion.
It was also used by Portugal with alterations – fanning wars in former colonies to keep them on the run, having made sure that assimilation had permanently destroyed local indigenous identities and replaced them with Lusophone identities, proudly embraced by Africans again ironically.
The British, on the other hand, were even more discretionary – hanging on in key economic zones, such as southern Africa, which they had nicknamed the Persian Gulf of minerals.
Protracted wars of liberation were not fought in Mozambique, Angola, South Africa and Namibia, just to mention a few, by coincidence.
There is a logic to it; just as there is a logic to the protracted war of liberation in Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe as well as Algeria in the North.
The writing is on the wall, but how many are gifted with eyes to decipher the shouting script.
Isn’t that telling you something?
In fact, wars of resistance to let go continue with Zimbabwe as the zenith just because Zimbabwe has gone an extra-mile to indigenise and empower its people through liberating the land which is the fundamental means of production.
African children need to be taught the correct history; the correct political economy.
Every African country must punch holes into mega-narratives of empire; puncture the under-belly of colonial ideologies and theorisations which are topicalised for the wrong reasons – either to distort the truth or to distract Africans from pursuing worthier goals that matter.
As I said earlier, foreign systems can never be tailor-made to suit local conditions.
They are created by those who create them.
To overturn these you need home-grown systems, your own systems.
