Because humans like wildlife animals are very territorial and will turn hostile towards long-term guests, immigration is not a good thing.
Africans in the U.S.A, Great Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, etc. What indeed are Africans doing amongst people who have been programmed to believe Africans are inferior beings, despite the irony? How can any African speak of "sunshine" or "greener pasture" about any overseas country? Or have we, also by association, been brainwashed so much so that reality escapes us? Except for God, and your parents - until age 21 years, anyone who tells you that you cannot survive in your own nation/country and/or that you have to depend on him/her to make it in life is not your friend.
When will Africans realize our place is in our homeland? Oh yes, sure! But has it not occurred to us, yet, that maybe if we were embarking on properly equipping our land, and schooling and banking in our land(s), that those billions spent and invested annually in countries where we are unwelcome as equals would be strengthening our economy instead? How do we, Africans, think these "sunshine" or "greener pasture" nations got where they are? And just how do we, born geniuses turn jackasses, think these greener pasture nations get a majority of their wealth? Hmmm? Do you really believe professional pirates/plunderers who will kill you to rob you and almost robbed you dry, and thrive by intimidating and plundering will allow you to prosper freely on their grounds? While forgiveness is divine, very noble and healthy, one must not completely forget one's history.
Is there any African male out there overseas (diplomatic robes set aside) who can honestly say he is free to even walk a street in his overseas neighborhood, or enter a bank, or supermarket without raising suspicion? How can any sane African speak of sunshine or greener pasture about environments in which Africans, especially Black Africans, are constantly being put through some process of dehumanization?
Since we now know the truth, ought we not to convey the same to our Families, Countries and Continent (seeing our Honorable Ambassadors are not) lest our people, migrating under false assumptions, be subjected continually to these added sad and pitiful experiences? Please, let's make home our priority. Because humans like wildlife animals are very territorial and will turn hostile towards long-term guests, immigration is not a good thing. The truth be told, "home be home"! - no place like home!
Respectfully, L'Afrique
