A PEOPLE CALLED AFRIKA

             Blacks and Afrika too is connected to Abraham through the
             children he had with Keturah the Egyptian. The Chaldeans
             were one of the many Cushitic tribes. Cush means black
             according to the Bible dictionary and Cush is the name of
             one of the sons of Ham from whose lineage Abraham came.


             A fresh look at the Afrikan self
             The Afrika that is ready for change must change the way
             she looks at her economic growth, at least for a start. Eco-
             nomic growth should not be gauged by the faulty GDP
             measure, which has been passed down by the same people
             who want Afrikans in cages. True economic growth should
             be measured in real time with answers to simple questions
             about the issues that affect our people. Questions like:
             What, really, are the health effects of the products that
             foreign  investors  bring  into  Afrika  and  upon  which
             we have built our false hope of foreign exchange?
             What, really, are the health effects of the vaccines we
             have praised so much because the Bill and Melin-
             da Gates Foundation or the WHO says they are okay?


             How much of the products made in Afrika are used by Afri-
             kans themselves? Or is it that the good things that are made
             here in Afrika by Afrikans are exported out, leaving behind just
             the unwanted stuffs that are not of much value to the people?
             Should economic growth not be measured by how much
             homemade products the government buys from its own
             people instead of the importation of the same things that
             are produced outside? For instance, it does not make any
             economic sense nor will it amount to any form of econom-
             ic growth if the government of Nigeria pays huge sums of
             money to import cars from Germany when there are local
