Post Colonization ⏩

South Africans HATE other Africans.

Ghanaians despise Nigerians.

In Nigeria, Hausas & Igbos bear sharped, kill-ready pocket knives to take each other's lives.

In Ethiopia, Tigrayans are maimed and treated like slaves in their own land.

Once an African gets to power he wants to rule forever & Take away the sources of livelihood of millions of poor families.

In the same Africa, South Africans who should have been the ones to feel the heat of history more, thanks to apartheid, kill other Africans like fowls.

And we think the Queen's death is our Victory?

Reminiscing how much we hate our history & doing nothing to make it count will only make us enemies of ourselves.

My tribe, Igbo knew the worst of colonization in West Africa (not exergerating) which explains why my big sister

Professor Uju Anya is enraged and has the world against her.

While her choice of words might have been deep, you can't tell an angry person how to feel.

However, I have another big sister @ChimamandaReal who is on the same page with Aunty Uju, but has passed the message...

more kindly. They are different people.

What am I trying to say?

Let Africa restore Africa from within first, and not let so much of history keep us back as history itself, and not legends of our pains.

At the end of the day, no one can tell our pain more than we can ...

5/6
Let us, Africans, unite, understand, support, be hospitable, Love ourselves first and connect with each other on a level of memory, history and shared pain.

That way, the world will know that Africa, indeed, is for Africans.

About this Bestie thingy..
Here's my story.

When I was on Campus, I had this fine girl who lived in my block. She was a mass comm student. Hi led to hello and we became really close.

We did everything together.
Went to school together.
Cooked, shopped and literally ate

2gether every single day.
She had men around then, and I, didn't have a girlfriend. But had other girls I rolled with too. One day I asked her to follow me out to my department's pool party as I didn't have a girlfriend. She agreed.

She is a classy rich kid and holds her own.
When we got to the pool party, she sat under the rafia bar while I went around the pool in a black jacket and red short hugging and doing selfie with all the bikini wearing hotties in my department.

My crush was there too. 🙈
So I literally didn't pay much attention to my bestie

Two weeks ago.

A US based e-commerce company reached out.

They wanted me to write a salescopy & sort of a brand introduction blog article for their company as they intend to enter the African market.

(I'll just give highlights & tell the full gist morrow or within the week)
I came recommended so there was no need for much interviews.

I gave them my price.

They said it was high and we bargained.

It wasn't fair, so I figured they haven't done any background check, then I asked them to look me up, sent links to my previous works on @Medium and to
please get back to me on an informed note as I love their team's energy and would be happy to work with them.

I spoke to them over a conference call with every bit of my Africaness.

They did. Returned and Insisted they wanted me to do their job, at the price they bargained.

She had the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my entire life.

Her heart was tender, full of hope and love even as her castles came crushing down, every single second of her existence.

Her story is one that can change the course of your very existence, pull you out of depression and literally give you life.

- Diagnosed of a breast cancer year in year out, which later became terminal after spreading through her.
- Got divorced from her husband just before her last months on earth.

She had every reason to give up on life.
Each of them staring her in the face like they couldn't wait to hear her last breath.

Someone who had 2% chance of surviving cancer walked her self to

My attempt to kiss her was almost successful before he interrupted, so I sighed.

We've known each other for months before now and have been talking for hours before the interruption.

There were many things I knew that she was interested in, but we never got...

opportunities to talk about them.

The only time I had to see her was in the morning before 6am through my window blind as she steps into her car, adorned in her red suit and trousers, sometimes blue gown, a phone to her ear and a straight face.
Swaying herself like she was walking the runway of an elite fashion show hosted by @LouisVuitton , as she approaches her car to beat Lagos traffic. Yes, she drives a @Chrysler

Beautiful back. Nice shape. Surely a pretty smile. I thought as I smiled and cuddled my pillow wishing

Now let's talk! Which of these sales copies would have made you consider purchasing the pimples cream product.
Be sincere.
3/6)
Those were two sales copies I wrote as an example.

First one is a regular cliché kind of sales copy used by most digital marketers, as well as affiliate marketers and this is why most you don't make as much sales as you should, even though you have a great product.
