African leadership today

I am moved by the very recent rising of President Robert Mugabe to the Chairmanship Position of the African Union (AU) to write this article.

The Leadership in Contemporary Africa can be best described as Retrogressive! This Retrogressive African Leadership today is the by-product of the cowardice, disloyalty, selfishness, apathy, softness, mediocrity etc of our leaders!

I know these leaders would definitely dispute these Qualities of their Leadership, in order to protect their seemingly thriving efforts.

However, most African Masses would attest to the listed Qualities which has produced the Retrogressive African Leadership today. The African Leadership we had some few decades ago were Progressive to a large extent notwithstanding their mistakes.

You cannot prove beyond doubt that Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara and Nelson Mandela displayed the listed Qualities in their various Leadership. Their Legacies have clearly shown that they lived the opposite of all those listed Qualities despite opposition from Colonial Masters and Internal Traitors.

Moreover, I am mad at the deepening Master-Servant Relationship between Neocolonialists and most African Leaders today! This situation is worsening because the Masters appear to be "feeding" their Servants to a large extent. And this sickening phenomenon would persist until our Leaders start living the True Qualities of Pan-Africanism.

Lastly, Contemporary African Leaders must always remember this: "If Neocolonialists praise you while your own people condemn you, then you may be destroying your country. And if Neocolonialists condemn you while your own people praise you, then you are building your country."
