Should we respond with unprecedented speed and urgency or wait for God?
Human beings are equipped with everything they need to live victoriously, but many of you miss out by falling into habits that disconnect you from the power you have.
“The Danger of the Knowledge for God Without Wisdom.”
Many are saying that the key areas of African societies, political, financial and economic are now in a virtual state of collapse. The leaders of these spheres are almost all graduates of top universities and many are church leaders.
In any event, it is important to remember that your worth as a person is not based on your profession. It is not based on wealth, fame, academic credentials, or your Godlike belief.
What counts is how hard you have striven in your academic credentials and your Godlike belief to make others happy.
When you are giving money to build your country or using a citizens pension fund to enthusiastically invest into direct stock investment where chances are that you will be losing the money but you did it anyway.
For that reason, your individuality constitutes the basis of the: Unknown Enemy who only dive into the market environment where you know very well that, chances are that you will lose all the money in disrespect of the dignity of the people’s lives.
Assumpta: Doesn’t it seem that Africa’s education and religious system is on the wrong track?
( Treasuring the People Right in Front of Us.)
Tsasi: As things stand now, let me introduce a story by the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy to address three crucial approaches to overcome the “Unknown Enemy” and living wisely.
Tolstoy wrote many very accessible stories and folk tales. He composed them for ordinary people who lived off the land, and for the young boys and girls who would inherit the future.
Today, I would like to share with you one of those stories, titled “Three Questions.”
The story concerns an emperor who, in directing the affairs of state, finds himself wondering about three questions.
(1) The first question is, When is the best time to start a task? How do I know the right time for every action, so that I have no regrets?
(2) The second question is, What kind of person do I need most? What kind of person should I pay attention to?
(3) The third question is, What affairs or tasks are the most important?
The emperor very much wants to know the answers to these questions, because he is sure that if he has the answers, he will be able to succeed in everything he does.
He makes it known throughout the land that he will richly reward anyone who can tell him the right answers to these questions. Many learned people come to see him, and they offer many answers. But the emperor is not convinced by any of them.
It means the learned are not necessarily wise?
Tsasi: Let me leave out the details of the story, but in the end the emperor gains the true answers to his questions from a sage who lives among the common ordinary people.
This wise man replies that the most important time is now, this very moment; the most important person is the one in front of you right now; and the most important task is doing good to others, caring about others’ happiness.
This moment is important, not some unknown time in the future. Today, this very day, is what matters. We must put our entire beings into the present for future victory is contained in this moment.
Likewise, we do not need to look for special people in some far-off place. People are not made important simply by virtue of their power, learning, fame, or riches. The most important people are those in our immediate environment right now, the African people.
They are the people we must value. Wise individuals consider the unique characteristics of those around them and make it possible for them to bring out their full potential. This is also the way to win the trust and respect of everyone.
Whenever I travel abroad, I always endeavour to sincerely greet and connect with the very first people I meet after getting off the plane and then do the same with all those I meet thereafter. This is how my efforts to foster friendship start.
It is not important whether you are unknown or unremarkable in the world’s eyes. What matters is that you know you have done your best, in a way that is true to yourself, for the sake of others, for your friends, families, and for people in society at large.
Those who can declare that with confidence are champions of the human spirit, champions of life.
(1) Should We Respond to Our Education and Economic System With Unprecedented Speed and Urgency or Wait for God?
(2) Are our African leaders taking concrete steps to bring Africa closer to the goals set by Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, Thomas Sankara, and Robert Mugabe?
Tsasi: You are asking:. If African leaders acting to face the poverty crisis with urgency?
The system transitions are unprecedented in-terms of speed in reforming the education system in all sectors.
Assumpta: What is the hidden truth about Africa’s education system?
Tsasi: Education versus indoctrination. Now African children are exposed to Education if their parents are wise men and women, then children get educated.
If they are not, then the children get indoctrinated. There’s a big difference right?
No doubt what you see about Africa’s education system teaches Africans what to think, not what how to think.
If you study the history of Africa’s education system, it is still the exact system that was developed by the slave masters, warlords, plantation owners to control slaves.
It was developed specifically to keep Africans busy so they could get more work out of the slaves, more hours of work and to train the Africans not to be creative, not to think for themselves and to follow orders to pay taxes, insurances and so on. That is exactly what the African education system is today.

Assumpta: Our continent is under threat. The education system has only served to prove our weakness and our ignorance.
Now urgent action, taken together, is needed to change our course and reimagine Africans future. We face a dual challenge of making good on the unfulfilled promise to ensure the right to quality education for every African child than allowing them to sell ice water on the street and running after cars everyday.
Tsasi: We call on all African activists to come together to help repair this kind of injustice to help transform the future of Africa’s education system.
This new social contract must be grounded in human rights and based on principles of non-discrimination, social justice, respect for life, human dignity and cultural diversity.
Assumpta: It was also the vision of Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, Mugabe, and other great African leaders to build good education meant building peaceful and sustainable Africa for all.
Thank you Tsasi:
