EA, one of the world’s amazing Spoken Words Artist has simplified the
difference between the people who die and those who don’t die in this life of
human endeavors.
In one of his amazing
piece,
“EVERYBODY DIES, BUT NOT EVERYBODY LIVES” the African
American poet explained that,
a research has shown that when human beings are about to die, they ponder over
their entire life on earth and the research proved that, almost all of the
dying people never regret the things they did in life but rather, they deeply regret
the thing they wanted to do but couldn’t do.
The
dream they had but couldn’t add life to it, the ideologies and the philosophies
they loved and believed in but could not openly express it. To cut a long story
short, the people who followed their heart and believed in what their life
purpose are, turn to live forever in the hearts and minds of the living for
eternity.
And
like Africa’s Blacknificent Winnie Mandela, she chose a path, she lived an
idealistic lifestyle and all of this got her misunderstood but she never
listened to her destructors.
Just
like Nkrumah made the male African of the 21st Century I call on all
Africans in the world to confer on Winnie the enviable title of the African
woman of the 21st Century.
Winnie
to me is one of the few human beings who came to this world and lived and is
living forever. The western media since her death is doing everything possible
to emphasis on so called flaws and I want all proud Africans to desist from
dwelling on her necessary evils.
Many
of our people are quick to buy into every media propaganda bout our messiahs
therefore I would want us to do the needed analysis about those so called flaws
and evils of Winnie the revolutionary woman.
To
start with I would want us to treat all the allegations about this great woman
as the way the scientific community treats the negatives sides of their evections.
I am a victim of Polio vaccination which is why I am an anti-vaccine activist.
The
polio vaccine has killed and disabled so many people around the world but
anytime the bad side of vaccination is mentioned, the vaccine community go
like, the positives are more that the negatives though I have my reservations.
Just
like Winnie, I think her positives outweighs
her unfounded flaws and even if those allegations are anywhere near the truth,
the question is what caused those incidents? We are told of her involvement in
some kidnap case and other allegations.
As
she put it herself, “I am not a product of Nelson Mandela, I am a product of my
environment” and I think she is indeed a product of her times so I think one cannot
fight for her people under environment like the criminal Apartheid without offending
some people.
But
for me I don’t think Winnie did anything wrong because as I said, you cant
fight a criminal undemocratic inhumane institution like apartheid and not be
called names and once again every revolutionary fighter need a certain level of
necessary evil in order to succeed and that is exactly what our Blacknificent
Mama Winnie Mandela did and I don’t count that us a flaw or contradictions to
her achievement of the African woman of the 21st century.
And
that is my wake up call to all Africans home and abroad to see those so called
flaws or contradictions as nothing but a necessary evil which she could not avoid.
