A colonial hangover or misplaced priorities?

My love for Jamaica and it culture goes a long way. Growing up in the 1980’s, I was introduced to conscious reggae music that advocated for the freedom of South Africa from white rule and black consciousness. The Jamaicans have a famous proverb “Dance ah yaad before you dance abroad”. In short, it means that charity begins at home.  The recent events in Paris are despicable to say the least and I sympathize with the victims, families and the French nation at large. My bone of contention is with the African leaders who attended the “Solidarity March”.  Solidarity March for who? Definitely not me and shame on all the African Stooges oops Presidents there present in Paris. Boko Haram, Poverty, Ebola, unemployment, Corruption and Destitution should be reasons enough for the African political class to have a solidarity march to help bolster the African experience. Shame on their collective conscience and they surely didn't represent me because our house is not in order and their leadership is needed in the continent. Chipuu. The slave mentality or the Willie Lynch syndrome still affects Africa's leadership. Master you sick? Am sick too said the African presidents to their French master. A colonial hangover in 2015 is blatantly unacceptable. 2015 African should be an individual devoid of all remnants of colonialism. Yes colonialism is over, but mental colonialism is still manifested in our elites who look up to Bai Toubab for salvation and guidance. Sorry to the victims of Charlie, but I definitely have bigger fish to fry therefore Charlie's problem is surely not mine. Besides Birr bou daaw wi kenen howmaa loh seh jelleh taat bou rocheckou. The audacious nature of our leadership demonstrates their misplaced priorities especially to their constituents in the African continent. We have witnessed the massacre of Palestinians in Israel did the “West” marched against Israel for their systematic abuse of the rights of the Palestinians? No they did not but the sad thing is whenever our former masters say jump; we hastily ask how high master? An utter disgrace to Africans at large. Well I can boldly assert that no one marched in my name for my ancestors would be so irate and spring off their graves for such acts perpetrated by our political leaders. President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, President Macky Sall, President Mahamadou Issoufou, President Faure Gnassingbé, President Ali Bongo Ondimba and President Yayi Boni I humbly asked where your allegiance lie? Definitely not with the people of Africa.
