ALL THE WORLD´S A STAGE

In life a man wants to be acknowledged, prominent, affluent, trendy......etc for Africans in Diaspora there are few or no such opportunities. In Diaspora most Africans are bent on working and taking care of their immediate families and those at home. These attitudes of silence, siddon look don tire some of our educated Africans to the extent of involving themselves by means of rejoinder in their country’s affairs. Most Africans I know down here (I will not use the normal, ¨¨up here¨¨bcos here no be heaven as una think for Africa.)Read their country’s news on the web daily so as to be abreast on the latest happenings at home, and guess what my guys do? send a counter motion against an editorial so that it will be published and my guys will feel like ¨¨I too must be heard ke,afterall no one listened to me while at home, the platform of stardom is for politicians only so now that I am abroad I too don become SOMEBODY.¨¨Celebrating oneself, I observed is an African thing, we Africans celebrates almost anything, birth (which is normal) marriage,birthdays,death.Ah!talking about death, an African died in my neighbourhood two weeks ago and his association(i.e. his tribesmen) have set aside money to take the corpse back home, why do such a thing? taking a dead person back to Africa, I asked one of the members. I was told that the association was formed for that purpose and members are to contribute some amount annually to that effect. Astonished was my expression because the deceased has four children, why not use this money for their up keeping pending when the wife is strong enough to take up the responsibilities? Well, I must commend the efforts of that association, what have my country men done so far than quarrel and fight amongst themselves? WONDERING WHICH COUNTRY I AM REFERRING TO?
