@Fiifi Quayle started with an example of an individual who’s had 20years of his life erased, such an individual becomes incompetent with no sense of direction. He talked of the youth finding themselves, and the most effective way was to learn their HISTORY. He also talked about the inconsistencies in political manifestos and the need for a comprehensive National Development Plan. He stressed on INTELLECTUAL EMANCIPATION, How we call ourselves independent yet manages little of the many that we have. With diverse people and culture we are made to hate our origin and ourselves. He said the white calls us primitive or salvages because he finds it difficult to understand our ways of life, so the best thing is to make us neglect our history with no or little written records. Our Era of Civilization have been completely wiped off in the periodization of the world, the classical Era begins with the fall of the Roman Empire(700AD) to the Islamic Invasion(700AD-1500AD) then to the coming of the Europeans(Transatlantic slave trade 1500AD-). Meanwhile there are Rock Gongs in the NUBIAN desert which predates as far back as 5000BC to 7000BC which was long before the Roman’s and the Pharaoh’s of Egypt. He talked of King Teharka and his TEMPLE at JEBEL BARKAL and how he ruled over the NUBIANS and the people of Egypt. He also talked of the MALI SEA FERRIES that set sails to Mexico to trade with the Mayans 400years before columbus. King Abu Bakr crossed the ocean around 900AD, these were the golden trade of the moors. BIG SHIPS from Africa crossed the SEA. Fiifi was saddened that we are always debating every one’s concerns except our own. We fight for foreigners way of life, ways of worship and throw our own away. Islam that took refuge in Ethiopia at their time of need has been the worse religion Ethiopians have suffered under though the Prophet Mohammad promised to be Ethiopia’s friend, Christians came to colonize us and we are just here looking as spectators. We lived our RELIGION, we didn’t preach it. Our Morals and Values were there to keep us in check so we had no jail system. He talked of no African Nation using our tradition, concept of law or morality to govern us. How after independence we still knock at the doors of our oppressors asking for acceptance. Our true Liberation will come when we look into our mirror and like what we see. Then value ourselves well enough to cater for ourselves. Powerful people never educate powerless people with how they became successful so they can rub shoulders with them. If you want to be like your oppressor, you are of no value to your people. He suggested we rely on ourselves for everything, develop our underdeveloped history, concentrate on teaching our young ones critical thinking and not chew and pour. He said we created philosophical/spiritual thoughts, we gave the world the first humanity, maths, science and medicine were all started here, even in captivity eddison created the light bulb, If we did it before, we can do it again
