THE GOLDEN TREES IN AFRICA

THE GOLDEN TREES IN AFRICA

Africa is full of actual trees.

It is also full of several golden trees.

These golden trees are in the form of oil, minerals and other natural resources including water bodies.

These natural resources are God-given for the benefit of all people.

The golden trees in Africa are for the good of humanity.

They are for the good of Africans and humankind at large.

The fruits of a good tree are expected to be enjoyed by all members of a community or nation. 

Like the streets of gold in Heaven, the fruits of golden trees serve as good roads for members of the public.

Branches of golden trees are expected to provide shade for many people.

When the fruits and branches of golden trees are captured by political parties, their cronies or selfish leaders; wanton waste and underdevelopment are inevitable.

Such greedy capture also leads to devaluation, pollution and destruction of such golden trees.

Many African river bodies are losing their natural state because of greed and selfishness.

Many golden trees in Africa are being reduced to prices of firewood because of greed and wickedness.

State capture is more dangerous and treasonable than a global pandemic because it silently kills many people and sabotages the destinies of many generations. 

There are many Gardens of Edens in Africa which are full of golden trees.

These Gardens of Eden consist of countries in Africa.

Like Adam and Eve, all Africans have the divine mandate to keep and till such gardens.

Let Africans arise and safeguard their gardens that are full of golden trees.

Let the youth arise and safeguard their God-given golden trees and gardens to avert their destruction and depletion.

Let Africans arise by condemning, challenging and confronting state capture, greediness and selfishness that are embezzling and devouring the golden trees in their gardens.

Let’s stop running to the West, global north or elsewhere and focus on securing our golden trees and gardens through lawful means and legitimate actions.
