A GREAT MAN IS RISING FROM THE SAHEL, OUT OF THE DUSTY SOIL OF CORRUPTION, ROGUERY, AND THE STENCH OF EVIL LEADERSHIP IN AFRICA TO GIVE A VOICE TO MILLIONS OF AFRICANS…

By Nkem Ossai

All hail Captain Ibrahim Traore the leader of Bukina Faso, the 34 years old giant of Africa who has chosen to redefine leadership not just in Africa but the entire unconscious world.

At any point in this very wicked world, God has not forgotten to raise a leader who will whip the barbaric and satanic leadership in the world: the world whose conscience is long dead.

It was, his forerunner, Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara who said and I quote, “Imperialism is a system of exploitation that occurs not only in the brutal form of those who come with guns to conquer territory. Imperialism often occurs in more subtle forms, a loan, food aid, blackmail.”
– “When the people stand up, imperialism trembles.”
– “The revolution is worthwhile. We must fight for it even if it means death.

The above was the sacred words of Thomas Sankara before he was silenced. Yes. He was silenced by the same people that rush to Africa with subtle loans and food aid. Sankara further added that he who feeds you controls you. This is why we must at all times, be weary of those who cannot endure hunger. And, they are many in our midst.

And so they killed him. No wonder great philosophers believe that those who murder sleep will sleep no more. Ibrahim Traore is Thomas Sankara whether you like it or not. Believe me, with the state of things in Africa, more Sankaras and more Traores are coming.

What is the tragedy here? The real tragedy is that we the oppressed contribute to our oppression and to our destruction. We have, time without number, offered ourselves freely for our Waterloo because we cannot endure hunger. It was Blaise Campaore who blasted the fire that consumed his brother because, he couldn’t endure hating him and couldn’t endure hunger. He made himself a willing tool, a lackey to those who seek to destroy us. And so, Africa failed to invent the future as Sankara cautioned.

Campaore led our brother to the slaughter and to the butchery labs to satisfy his inordinate quest for food. I want to say that imperialism is the worst sin, the worst evil because it robs generations yet unborn the fruits of existence.

With Thomas Sankara’s demise, the spirit of imperialism was watered and foisted again. But this time, it is even stronger. As we hopelessly relapsed to the same old way of doing things, corruption, roguery and endless evil became our refrain. New crimes and new sins were invented with Internet aiding and fueling the sickened world with unknown evil and unknown sins.

Nevertheless, God has never left his people orphans. The oppressed people of the rising sun welcomed Kanu. The Burkinabe people of the upper voltaic region welcomed Ibrahim Traore. In other parts of the world, new and revolutionary leaders were born. And so, the conversation changed. The West were reminded that somebody is watching. Putin was on hand to help. They were told that it will not be el’dorado for ever and that the old ways of relationships will be reviewed or more appropriately put, reversed. But, not without a fight. They, the West went for their traditional game, the old wine: elimination and work over. This time, I think, it will not be business as usual. Captain Ibrahim Traore came prepared. Lackeys will count there teeth with their tongues before they lip. Ibrahim, or rather Abraham is here to change things. After 19 trials it appears Traore is here to stay. It appears the West are left with few options. Their options and lackeys are depleting by the day especially as the real people align with Ibrahim.

Truly, Sankara was right in renaming the place: “Land of the incorruptible people.” Land of gold and silver. These minerals cannot be corrupted. May Almighty God who enabled his existence guide him. May he complete the job the Lord has assigned to him and may the Lord save him for the sake of the suffering children of Africa who have been milked dry by the Wests’ economic oligarchs enveloping Africa, christened, “democrats.”

Equality should be seen as necessity for existence; should be accepted as a social norm, but imperialists detest that. In the beginning, He who made us destined us to be free. Any other thing is antithesis which will continue to be resisted until the end of time and until thy kingdom come.

God save Ibrahim Traore!

– “When the people stand up, imperialism trembles.”
– “The revolution is worthwhile. We must fight for it even if it means death.”

• Personal Integrity and Leadership
  • “I want people to remember me as someone whose life has been helpful to humanity.”
  • “A soldier without political training is a potential criminal.”
  • “The greatest gift that a leader can give is to enable the people to develop their own abilities and put them to use.”
• African Identity and Self-Determination
  • “We must learn to live the African way. It’s the only way to live in freedom and with dignity.”
  • “Never be ashamed of being African.”

These quotes reflect Thomas Sankara’s commitment to social justice, equality, and self-determination, as well as his vision for a more just and equitable society.
