What’s at Stake
If we Africans don’t use Five Fingers to liberate Africa from Debt Slavery and Basket Case, our grand children will have to be freedom fighters at best or mere slaves at worst. We can change it.
We must change it!
Sneak Peak
“Those whose livelihood is pegged on selling ducks’ shoes to walk on will never inspire ducks to fly. Africa should thus be informed to solve our problems as individual communities even where leadership is handicapped by the money minted from our lack of flying and the attending chaos”
Africa can & must fly
Africa’s Beg-worthy Status Maintained by Dysfunctional Leadership
“Even though they are in Africa, South Africa and Egypt are favorites of multinationals to make products bound for COMESA, a country in Africa that you didn’t know existed. They are conduits for imports that hide their true origin or whose effect on most of African countries where they sell their products is similar if the products were made out of Africa.
We must make in Africa
The Basket has Become the Market
“Africa’s Economy is like a pumping heart with no way of bringing the blood from our legs back to itself for re-circulation. To merely survive it has to be attached to continuous debt transfusion and demeaning donations”
Five fingers can change this
Importitis – Perpetuated by Blood Merchant & China’s Chains
About Five Fingers
FIVE FINGERS offer practical solutions to end Debt Slavery and Basket Case disorder in Africa. FIVE FINGERS cautions Africans from confusing Investment for Trade, Debt for Solutions or Donations for Philanthropy. In other words, Investment is for the investor, Debt is for the creditor and Donation is for the Trojan Horse – of many varieties.It investigates the etiology and offers liberating prescriptions for the perennial diagnosis in the abundance that’s Africa, known as scarcity or simply Povertitis.
Most of what Africa consumes is not made in Africa or by Africans using African raw materials. The book is a call the African Citizen and Leader to make in Africa, by Africans, using African raw materials, for Africans and Export.The current focus on mega infrastructural development in ports and railways are facilitating more imports which inadvertently is exacerbating poverty, unemployment and trade-deficit in Africa and is not sustainable.
Expectedly, African Central Banks and indeed African countries are continually tethered to massive debt transfusions but the profuse bleeding is left unattended – on the advise of debt merchants aka ‘developmental partners.’ As debt is deficient to maintain minimally needed circulatory volume, to prevent an economic cardiac shock, Africa go around in the world with a golden begging bowl to make ends meet. The Debtor or more precisely the Debt Slave is also a Basket Case.FIVE FINGERS starts with analyzing leadership culture and etiology as the abating tool to our current sorry state. It however focuses on solutions inside and outside of policy and the responsibility of citizens even where African leadership is challenged or compromised. Nonetheless, all stakeholders are sufficiently informed for a concerted effort to regain our dignity and allocate Africa resources to its rightful owner, Africans. It’s all in the FIVE FINGERS of our hand. The African Hand!
In Economics, when we African import goods as opposed to making them ourselves, we are substituting GOODS for PEOPLE. Since the GOODS have to be made by PEOPLE in the country of origin, we African essentially EMPLOY citizens of that country.
