A system is any interconnected mechanism for action; it is normally interdependent and complex.
The same system that is keeping Africa and Africans poor: has interconnected components to miseducated, to to oppressed, to control, and to exploit the Africa. The same system has a component to help Africa to deal with all these miseries without much anxiety or the desire to stand up to break it.
The education, the economics, the politics, and the religions, are all, but interrelated and functional components of this very complex system.
It requires a great deal of strategic efforts in order to achieve any significant impact on the system towards our liberation. This is more so because, almost every member of our society is hooked on at least one anchor of this system. This means, those benefiting from politics will fight with all their efforts to maintain it, so will those hooked on economic, educational, and religious anchors of the system. This is how the system is designed to keep it functioning forever.
The sad part is that, since this is an interrelated and interdependent system, unless a serious damage is caused simultaneously on all its components; rather than that, any serious injury caused on one arm will mean nothing because that arm will receive support and feeding from the other components and eventually resurrect even more stronger.
Most of the times, my friends and colleagues urge me to stop educating the public on certain anchors of the system and rather focus more on others. However, I have reasoned through, and I have come to the realization that the best approach to deal with the system and free ourselves is to have a counter systemic solutions.
Yes, by creating interrelated awareness of the parasitic nature of the system among our people is indeed one powerful starting point. Subsequently, knowledge will bring understanding and eventually produce the wisdom that is needed to deal with this cancer.
Hopefully, we shall one day become Soldiers of our liberation and not stay-in as agents of our own enslavement.
