Groundbreaking Call of Yahaya Ezemoo Ndu, President of the African Renaissance Project
I herewith republish the proclaimed call with which the pioneering African politician, intellectual and champion of the African Renaissance Yahaya Ndu invited all Africans to engage in the ultimate battle to save Africa from the lethal dangers that the ailing, yet criminal, Western colonials embody for the Black Continent.
Without a shred of exaggeration, this is the founding text in which all Africans will feel their minds and hearts excellently reflected.

Africa
First Project
Africans and Black
people from all over Africa and the world over are being urged to wake up from
centuries old slumber and realize that now is the time to unite as one and work
for the actualization of the African Renaissance as that is the only way
forward to move the continent and it's over one billion people out of poverty, dependency,
disease, needless wars, underdevelopment and destitution.
We must realize that
no one will develop Africa for us and that we must develop Africa ourselves.
We must overcome the
artificial barriers inhibiting our togetherness and turn all our disadvantages
into advantages.
Our brothers and
sisters outside Africa especially those, who are being harassed by the
authorities of their countries of domicile, should not despair, rather they should
seize the opportunity of the time to team up with their brethren at home in
Africa to build Africa, to develop beyond every other part of the world,
including the United States and China, as we have all it takes to achieve this.
After all, we are the
undisputed and undisputable mothers and fathers of all of mankind; civilization
started with us, and further we taught the world all that it knows.
Africa and the Black
world do not lack in manpower; Africa and the Black world do not lack raw
materials or land space.
Although fortunate
and unfortunate facts of History have spread us all over the world perhaps more
than any other group of people, the realities of modern communication and
information technology -if deployed effectively- would turn our disadvantages
into advantages and make us the most formidable group in all the world.
All we need is a
well-thought out and ordered synergizing of our intellectual capital under a
trusted and mutually beneficial continent and worldwide administration that is
just, transparent and pan-African in all ramifications.
We must realize that
not only did we, Africans, invent the phenomenon of democracy, but that our
history is replete with experiences of benevolent and malevolent oligarchies, theocracies,
military regimes, etc.
Experience has taught
us not to prefer military regimes to civilian regimes or civilian regimes to military
regimes or theocracies or oligarchies or any other forms of government, as all
could be good or bad, and as no intron is intrinsically good or bad.
What we Africans
truly prefer is good governance over bad governance no matter what.
Therefore, we must
respect the rights of all peoples and nations in Africa to operate any forms of
government that they find suitable for themselves and work with them devoid of
any holier than their attitude for African development, unification and
Renaissance.
Traditional rulers
and religious leaders from all across the length and breadth of Africa should
bond themselves together into a continental board of trustees and superintendents
over African and Black intellectuals from all over the world and come up with a
brotherly arrangement; thus, they will organize the development of all African
nations and their Diasporas in a systematic and systemic circuit and order,
building an encouraging solidarity, establishing a fraternal unification, and
eliminating all forms of wars, strives, diseases and poverty.
As Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe,
Nigeria's first president, said in his book 'Renascent Africa':
"Educate the
Renascent African to be a man. Tell him that he has made definite contribution
to history. Educate him to appreciate the fact that iron was discovered by
Africans; that the conception of one God was initiated by Africans, that
Africans ruled the world from 763 to 713 B.C.; that while Europe slumbered
during the dark ages, a great civilization flourished on the banks of the
Niger, extending from the salt mines of Taghaza in Morocco, to Lake Chad right
to the Atlantic.
Narrate to him the
lore of Ethiopia, Ghana, Melle, Mellestine and Songhay.
Let him realize with
the rest of the world that, while Oxford and Cambridge were in their inchoate
stages, the University of Sankore in Timbuktu welcomed scholars and learned men
from all over the Moslem world".
It is clear to all
discerning individuals and groups that the African Union, ECOWAS and all such,
so-called regional and sub-regional, organizations in Africa have lost their
usefulness and as a matter of fact many if not all of them have become a
disgrace; it is degrading to the dignity of Africans, and increasingly so by
the day.
If a president of the
United States can sit in Washington D.C. and order the armed forces of his
country to conduct bombing in Somalia, an African nation, without being
authorized to do so by the African Union and the people of Africa, then it is
clear that the African Union has outlived its usefulness and it should therefore
be immediately disbanded.
African people should
set up an all-African electoral commission to conduct direct elections to elect
those to lead Africans.
As a matter of fact,
the present African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was built and
donated by an Asian country - China.
This is a disgrace;
it is totally unacceptable to all true sons and daughters of Africa, and all
the Black people.
The new African Union
by whatever name so called should operate from a headquarters built and funded
100% by Africans - even if it has to be a hut.
We Africans and all
the Black people must take charge of our affairs in all ramifications,
especially in security.
All non-African
troops, by whatever appellation, operating and stationed in Africa should be
asked to vacate Africa and return to their own nations and continents.
After all, a vast
majority -if not all- of the security challenges confronting African people are
orchestrated from the same foreign and non-African nations that claim to love
Africa more than Africans do.
