    My life changed from the very moment I started to know PLO and his eloquent and passionate speeches re_energenize me, as I remain optimistic that one day Africa will benefit from her own natural resources.

    Prof PLO, this is an accurate timely rendition of African colonial and post-colonial developments. The basics that Africa needs to do right. I am optimistic because lights of success are being lit across Africa and among its diaspora one individual at a time.

      O Africa, Mother of Africans in all the world. O Mother of all Living human beings, you have given us hope when there was none. O our mother Africa, What shall we do when even dogs look down on us. Where shall we go when we see our leaders behave like dumb Jack asses.. They tell lies and they steal. They tell lies.
      They collude with the thieves from abroad. They hate truth and justice. They kill their own nationals for the honour of their white masters.
      O Mother Africa, what shall we do when our brothers treat the countries in Africa as their own farms?
      I would like to ask you for some more guidance but I have I am only one man.

      I heard them sing . I see them dance all for joy. I wonder why and how when so much has gone wrong! I wonder why and how when tears flood their weary eyes. I ask why when everything had gone weared, wild and miserably sad.
      In the first place their their wealth was stolen. In the second place their land was taken. Then they were chased from their homes.
      They had nothing left yet they dance and they sing!
      How could they do this? Yes, even though their babies are forced to drink the water that is full of filth . Yes, the water that kills their children.
      I have seen with mine own eyes. I cried and I cried again and again without solace or comfort.
      O Mother Africa how can I help when I am only myself alone yes, all alone Mother Africa how can I help? Tell me how O Lord God Almighty., how can I help.
