INSPIRATION: BEING BLACK SHOULDN'T BE JUST BY YOUR SKIN COLOUR

"Time changes yesterday, we were once Brothers fighting side my side.
Yesterday we were good,change in time and
today you turned your back at me and knocked me out. Truly time changes yesterday- O'lan"

This was a lovely poem  from a lovely friend,  brother,  a  protegee to few,  but a role model to many.
This  poem gave me an insight into many angles...amongst friends,  family, colleagues and co.  But something really strikes my heart the most That  I really desire to share;
Looking way back  to  the earlies when the blacks were the slaves of the whites, there was unity amongst us while  we strive hard to surviving the hardship faced in  the slavery, while proposing to  the new future a betterment for  the generations to come.  there was solidarity, we fought to reinstate our pride as black!
We fought so well,  verbally and strategic-wise.  We fought so so well that God helped the black and Alas! We were  liberated from slavery.
We blacks have been through enough to make us "We", but here we are today,  the enemies of ourselves. We lash ourselves, condemn  ourselves, destroy our homes,  tearing apart the pride that has been retained. An  example is the war against blacks in South Africa by the Zulus,  killing many of  black foreigners in their country claiming what   does not measure up to  their actions. Also in Nigeria, my homeland,  our hands against eachother, all in the name of ethnic differences, politics,  religion etc.  I am prompted to ask why! How has this quench the thirst  for Our Selfish urge, while  the onset love we had for ourselves would have worked things out?
Millions of questions,  but a very short space to ask....but with the few lines, I am confident  a message / messages have been passed.
We need to unite,  to uphold  the black power, to invest peace  into the unknown  generations to come and  amongst us, should reign PEACE.
GOD BLESS AFRICA, GOD BLESS NIGERIA,  GOD UPHOLD THE BLACK NATIONS.
