African men: Loving Your African Women is Revolutionary

By Sicebise Msengana

Every African is my blood brother whether they admit it. As an African brother,  I fully understand the things that my brothers go through. I have experienced the emotions. Many of my brothers were hurt by  their girlfriends, wives or mothers. And this experience scared them for life. As a result, some brothers choose to detach their emotional selves and only show up physically or worse, date, breed or share a bed with non-African woman.

African Fatherhood On The Brink of Destruction

When an African man has fulfilled his duties as a man, he is treated as man and given special privileges reserved for manhood. The first duty of work is  protecting women and children at all costs, even if it means laying down your life. In traditional African societies, manhood was earned on merit, not demanded. So growing a long beard and sleeping around with light-skinned girls doesn’t count. An old African proverb says“Indoda intle ngenkomo zayo.“ Which meant a man was dignified and respected by his wealth. In order for a man to accumulate wealth he had to work hard to earn that wealth.

“ Africa and Africans has succeeded in destroying our culture and traditional by accepting the effect of colonialism on the strong foundation that once held our fathers together...I believe that there is a supreme being and that as long as you believe in him no matter your religious difference or mode of worship things will work out for you, I PRAY GOD HELP AFRICA IN BELIEVING IN THEMSELVES ONE DAY." --Leopard Akande

I think it would be best to preserve some traditional African systems such as African-centred marriage, between an African man and African woman and abstinence. Africans see marriage as a sacred institution to procreate and build a strong family.

Open Letter to the African woman

If there is a person that I respect in this world, it is an African woman. She is the reason for my existence. For nine months, she carried me in her womb. Between her thighs, she brought me into this world. I suckled her beasts for nourishment. Most people who have unrealistic expectations are more likely to expect a candlelight romance, ‘great’ sex and pampering from their partners. For most people when the relationship fails, they blame everyone except themselves, in the process, they don’t take responsibility for their actions and commit the same mistakes over and over again.  Loving is not an easy thing. Loving the African woman is demanding and a full time job.

Pound for Pound, An Eye for An Eye

"Treat me as a human being or send me  to the cemetery"—Sicebise Msengana 

If society doesn’t recognise that certain people are human beings, then let’s disagree to agree. If we cannot solve contradictions in our society; the only solution is to fight until we come into a consensus where  human society advances to the point where myth of races is eliminated. There will be no more injustices. That will be an era of perpetual peace and co-existence between people of different ethnic groups.

Face Our Fears Boldly

I always see the self-hating attitudes towards Africa as coping mechanisms against the 500 year-old racist anti-African propaganda. People whose ancestors suffered slavery and social degradation developed certain survival traits to cope with their surroundings. The invention of races was one of the darkest moments in human history , W. E. B. Du Bois  makes the following observation: “There came a new doctrine of universal labor: mankind were of two sorts—the superior and the inferior; the inferior toiled for the superior; and the superior were the real men, the inferior half men or less.”
