  Some of our political leaders are still finding it extremely hard to break from their European Masters, thereby lacking the political will and spine to unify our Africa for a far better Africa.
  Typical one is President Ouattara of Ivory Coast.
  The man is married to a Frenchwoman and remains a well planted and protected masterful foolish Puppet of France.
  Unless such leaders are kicked out, our African Unification Dream will remain eternally unrealized.
  Cameroonian President Biya and Togolese Eyadema, among others must all be kicked out by any means necessary for African Unity purposes.

  Undoutedly challenges are there but the question still remains; what is holding us back? If for nearly 50 years we haven't made our regional economic blocks to work there is obviously no way we can leapfrog into a continental economic union. Why is the political will lacking? If we won't do it, no one can do it for us. And let's stop baming the colonialists ad nauseum. The anti colonialist rhetoric is sickening.

  Certainly, we know what it takes, and what to do to get there. But immediate gain instead of sowing or sacrificing for the future remains our bane. Most of our African leaders think only as far as their political tenure or term(s) of office last. In other words, think only in terms of 4 or 5 years and possibly a second term.
  Not in terms of lasting legacies
  We ought to emancipate ourselves from myopic mentalities and think generational

  This means if I Ghana doesn't a particular product and Nigeria has it they sell that product to Ghana and vice versa but in the case whereby other countries citizen's want's to come and stay in your country and compete with the locals in the same market how can the dream come to light,
  Nigeria is the reason other African countries are not willing to participate everywhere they go they are only doing bad things.
