Making sure that every African has the basic essentials (food, shelter and education)....... that to me is the no1 priority.
You are not going to get too far with unity and the many other equally important things with people who are preoccupied with trying to survive day by day.

I don't think that approach works either Abs because there will always be poor and hungry people unless we act on why people are poor and hungry. Feeding them does nothing in the longrun and like "AID" to Africa may even prolong things. The only way we can tackle the reasons behind the poverty are to act for more unity. Because those issues are so big and geopolitical they can seem daunting. WTF can I do against a bunch of governments I think to myself at times... but if it is just me then the answer is practically nothing. WTF can I do myself to combat the loss of soul in todays black youth? By myself not a damn thing... nothing.

So because all the issues are so overwhelming and big that merely thinking of them may cause despair and hand wringing, we do first need unity or there is no point in attempting to address them at all.
