**A general discussion about the place of white African citizens on the continent following confected social media outrage—egged on by certain media outlets— over a white Zimbabwean winning a beauty pageant** I am not really a fan of beauty pageants. They are hardly of interest to me. But then, I do get drawn to controversies, especially those thriving on various social media platforms, including Twitter.
Thank you.... I am puzzled you ask why we should bother about Ancient Egypt
Kemet, what the Kemetiou (Ancient Egyptians) called their Kingdom, is recognized as probably the earliest known civilization and center of learning globally.
Records say that ALL the Greek mathematicians, scientists and philosophers we hear of schooled in Kemetiou temple universities, the first being Thales followed by his friend Pythagoras. Only Pythagoras did 22 years but all his other compatriots schooled for an average 15 years or about 40 % of the 40-year syllabus. Returning to Greece, they set up the Greek culture which is the basis of European civilization.
For this reason, Cheick Anta Diop faced much opposition in his 20-year quest to prove that Kemet was a black African state as all sorts of theories, including aliens, were postulated to make Kemet anything except African.
We should not let go of our heritage just like that because some people will be embarrassed… that is their problem, not ours.
hi Chima, great article. Just 1 comment. I notice that you chose to omit or perhaps overlooked the fact that Mugabes seizure of farms happened right after a failed referendum that was aimed at making him President for life. You did however choose to include his (Mugabe's) chosen pretext for the seizures. thank you.
This is funny considering the Western regimes now allow men to compete as women. Now that is truly shameful.
This was a great piece. Very informative. The gas company story was hilarious. You can’t make this stuff up.
Love this article!

It is part of who we are.
Very good. I am not following what is going on in Africa, this article is illuminating.
