Why democracy is not welcomed in Africa
The continent Africa is a home of people with descent
cultural beliefs, customs, norms and values that were inherited from generation
to generations. African believe in their customs; respect for elders, societal norms
and values, religions. They did not believe that sovereignty is in the hand of
man, they accepts God intervene in their worldly affairs and so are not ready
to admit anything that they believe will be contrary to their culture.
Democracy as now done by the west is a step by step copy of the Whiteman
culture, lifestyle and philosophy and not the true representation of the
people's views, beliefs and custom. The recent support given to homosexuals,
lesbians, gays by the west has made this clear. This homosexuality is contrary
to the African thinking, customs, norms and values. It is considered diabolic
and attracts severe penalties in some societies. Therefore this action taken by
the west has finally made the African elders to conclude by saying" this
people want to corrupt us, spoil our generation and to make us sinners before
God”. It was not long when the child right act, 'women exploration' was
violently rejected in some areas. This why African democracy is only in print
media and mass media but not in the heart, mind, soul and lives of African. I
believe if democracy will be Africanized it is something to be applauded by
AFRICANS. is buhari working at all ?
