united we stand divided we fall

in order for us to rise up us a people we have to come together as african people including those in the diaspora to build our land and face head on the challeneges of the 21st century. At this point, we are a fallen people and as much as we are divided every man for himself, every village for it'self, every district of it's self and every state for it's self then i assure you, that we will not rise up the places of greatness unless we unite and work to solve our problems. there is an old saying that no man is an island and yet we are islands by ourselves. if we don't unite how then shall we protect our brothers and sisters from their enemies? how then shall we be fathers to the fatherless or sympathizers for the widows in our land? how then shall we have the strength and resources to help the poor in our land. how then shall we raise the children who willbe leaders of our people? since it takes a village to raise a child?
