were told that they are a third

to when they were told that their
educational system was inferior
to that of the white man. They
were lied to when they were told
that God was not in Afrika's spir- resources and the correspond-

man interpreted Christianity to
be. They are right now still being
lied to that Afrika must depend
on loans, aid and all manner
of compromises for her to fulfill
her destiny among the nations.

Afrika's Economic
Hitmen

Afrika is backward and that Af-

impoverishment is one of the
most stinking lies ever told. Af- of economic sabotage head on

and her children are subject-

because until the muzzle is re-
moved, she is helpless. It is a
wicked scheme and one which
is no longer acceptable, either
from the economic hitmen that
are working it or the irrespon-

are allowing it for selfish gains.
To create a better picture of how
Afrika has been subjected to
economic sabotage, let's check
these few questions together.
Firstly, why is it that no country

of independence is allowed to
