Keep your secrets!
Africa is rich!
Split by boundaries, but we are one!
Those lines drawn in the colonial times are just lines
Look at our traditions
Practices, norms
Either same or similar
We protected our environment
Children
People
Natural resources
Surrounding!
Our forests are rich with healing herbs
No added chemicals
Our foods, very high in nutritional values
Our brews, full of nutrients!
Our leisure time full of fun and education
Our songs!
Our elders, mothers rich with knowledge
Constipation in children was dealt with from home
To date, all we need to do is get a small piece of soap
And that poo comes running like never before
I won't divulge into details for I learnt my lesson some time back
With technology, so many of us are connected to soo many people we don't know. So one time a mother had this challenge and needed a home remedy, I spilled our secret into detail, you should have read the Insults hurled at me!
So Africa, keep your secrets and guard them jealousy
There is no shame in our traditions!
For stomach ache, headache including migraines, snake bite, fever, sleep disorders, broken bones, you know what to do!
If no, you know where to find such richness!
So many of these foreign ailments were unknown of, not that we didn't know how to detect them, they were just not there!
When those people come to mascarade in our forests, hold them back. They come for the roots. once we show them, they discourage us from using them and make tons of money from it, we start buying from them! Eni adong
Our crops, indigenous crops, hold on to them.
They are the real deal!
Don't be deceived that, the other being brought is the real deal
Our future is dead!
Our children won't have what to feed them
We shall buy every seed
Keep your secrets people, keep our secrets!
We are not naive
We are not backward
We are not savages
We are unique
We are brilliant
We are everything this universe desires
Keep your secrets!
