Obama Doesn't Owe Africa Anything

A lot of controversy has been stirred up about President Barrack Obama's visit to Ghana and why Ghana among all places. Some Believe he should go to Kenya where his Dad hailed from or Nigeria since its the most Populous Black Nation in the World and i would like to add that these so called visits are just eye service visits and lets be honest , The man is only going to be in the Country for 24 hours so who even cares if he shows up at their door step.

It's amazing how so many hopeless Africans are sitting and praying for Obama to set foot in their country and deliver them from any ailments they currently have and also to eradicate poverty for being the First person of Color to rule the most Powerful Country in the World. I see things differently.

First and foremost Obama cannot solve Africans problems and does not intend to solve African Problems. If Africans want an earth shaking speech then Obama can provide that but we all know as Africans we have had several oratorians in the past who could talk a good game but when it came to ruling they resorted to the traditional corrupt way. The Average African who believes Obama can and should help Africa must be the most ignorant and stupid fool on earth. Here is a guy who had a Kenyan Father and an American mom and the Father Abandoned him as a toddler and returned to his Father land and never saw the boy again till he was older . Can you imagine the dashed hopes of this poor young kid who had to live in Indonesia with his Step Dad and Family. We are talking about a boy who was probably questioned a lot that he was a dark skinned kid in an Indonesian country and as a dark skinned kid in Hawaii . This Kid with the help of the Caucasian side of his Family managed to go to Law school and eventually became a Senator and now the President of the Free World without the help of his selfish self absorbed depressed and drunken fool of a Father and now everyone wants to lay claim on his as an African Son.

Obama does not owe Africa anything and from the looks of things he doesnt plan to benefit Africa from his Presidency. I dont blame the man but even if he does have some sympathy for his ancestral land his hands are tied. the Presidency of the USA is an Institution and its bigger than Obama and he has no say in what he does. It is run by Lobbyists and powerful Secret societies and the only reason why he made it through the ranks was because he must have demonstrated to them that his loyalty was to them and not to Africans and/or African Americans. African Americans also need to get this through their thick skull that Obama cannot do anything for them and if they want to succeed in this Country that they better seize the bull by the horn and use the opportunities that exist in this Country to reach the sky and quit hoping this man is the second coming of Christ as if we dont remember what happened to Chirst.

Obama is going to Ghana because Ghana recently discovered oil and since Africa is the Dark Continent and all the Super Powers are investing a lot of money in this region especially China and India , he is going to make sure the USA gets all the Oil Contracts from Ghana and will dangle some carrots at Ghana and the next thing you know there will be an U.S Army Base in Ghana and they will claim it is do ward off Al Qaeda fundamentalists and in no time we will have the AFRICOM guarding the whole of Africa.

This is a brief visit and is only expected to last a day and unfortunately Ghana has probably been preparing for his arrival for about a month and have been pouring money all over the place to meet the USA's standard and in the process abuse and maltreat their citizens so this event can be flawless. It will cost Ghana nothing less thand 20million US Dollars to make this stupid visit happen and too bad its not even a real visit, Its just eye service.
