Having traveled extensively in Africa pursuant to my legal career, now over, I had occasion to visit Ghana. Ghana is one of the four ‘showcase’ small countries that the US has nurtured for decades to further ‘democracy’, whatever that word may mean, along with the Philippines, El Salvador, and Pakistan (if memory serves). So Ghana has a large US Embassy in its capital of Accra which gave Yours Truly a tour as a member of the trade delegation that I participated in. Various US Presidents have poured billions of dollars into Ghana to make it stable.
One of the issues that Ghana has is illegal immigration from Nigeria, which is a hop and skip away to the east, past little Togo and the bit larger ‘nation’ of Benin, formerly Dahomey. Ghana, historically known as the Gold Coast due to the extensive gold mines that dot the countryside, often has to crack down on Nigerian illegals. Illegal immigration is a criminal act in Ghana and when they identify Nigerians, they are promptly arrested, fined, and deported without delay back to their home country.
But Nigeria is really what I want to discuss here. This country has a population of 234,000,000. The average age is 17.9 years, making it one of the youngest countries in the world with an expected growth to 360,000,000 by 2050. The population is increasing by 3,800,000 each year, equivalent to the entire state of Utah or Connecticut. This for a country the size of Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas together, which have only 38,250,000 population. IOW, Nigeria is 10x as dense in population as an equivalent size in the US and is exploding at the seams in exportable, young population.
A popular book that is used in many if not most classrooms in the US is ‘Things Fall Apart’. This can be considered the African version of The Great Gatsby or To Kill A Mockingbird. All of these are Woke Cult favorites, required reading in Woke public school classrooms in the US, which are redundant terms since the Diversity Cult is the official religion of the US, enforced by law throughout the country in contravention of the US Constitution’s 1st Amendment which supposedly prohibits the establishment of a state religion.
Things Fall Apart is the story of a small Nigerian village in the southeast area when the British arrived. In the story, a big chief (big in his own eyes at least) commits a needless murder which he believes is made necessary by his eminent role in the community and suffers a temporary exile. So he is far from perfect. But when he returns after the prescribed length of time to ‘cure’ his deed, he finds that his village has been contaminated by Christianity and when he disowns his own son, who has converted, he, along with most of the village, decides that the European faith is destroying the old ways, which, although imperfect, remain good and decent and are appropriate for this peaceful African community. A fight breaks out. The Christians appeal to the British. And trigger-happy white soldiers invade the village and punish those trying to defend the old ways. The lesson of the story in Things Fall Apart is that while traditional African society is not perfect, it remains good, best for Africans, and even morally superior to the invading British who are quick to murder innocent people in contrast to the Africans who are slow and deliberative in their more selective executions.
I thought the following letter might shed a bit more light on the historical situation of West Africa when the British arrived circa 1880. Although the letter is incomplete here, I find this portion educational and perhaps corrective of the Woke narrative found in TFA.
Something to reflect on when considering the human wave of African migrants that is on the horizon for the US and Europe if our indigenous whites don’t remove the Woke regimes that infest Europe and the US and which are totally dedicated to erasing all national frontiers and flooding the West with Africans.
