Africa provided the West with raw materials (cash crops) e.g coffee, cotton. Once materials were processed into final goods, the best was retained & the worst exported. The same is now true for AI. Raw material from mass knowledge is fed into machines & exported as AI. W-E-S-A

When a bird takes off to flight, it does not worry that it will fall, nor does it pray that it falls not from the sky. Why then, ooh my soul, do you worry about living among the living. W-E-S-A

If you don't like serving people, at least serve God by serving people's needs. The only way that your talent/gift would be useful was for God (Nature) to ensure that there are deficiencies in others that give you the opportunity to become a valuable member of community. W-E-S-A

Life is justified by service to others. W-E-S-A

A vision is a written statement of commitment to bridging the gap between what is and what could be for yourself through service to and from others. W-E-S-A

When pseudo-righteousness fails to reign in the hearts of men, they quickly descend to the hellistic pits of their default wickedness. The buffer zone between the two states of the heart is the conviction that righteous preserves. The Kingdom of righteousness is Ubuntu. W-E-S-A

How should multi-lingual regions in Africa choose a dominant language? A language that has the most bandwidth to accommodate and express mathematical, economic, scientific & philosophical ideas at PhD level should be identified & promoted with deliberate zeal & urgency. W-E-S-A

I saw a soul despise another for its nakedness. Then I heard two hens being taken for slaughter, one saying to another "my feathers are more beautiful than yours". The other noted, "both our feathers won't make it into the christmas dish." Oh my soul despise not another. W-E-S-A

Lying is the process through which truth decays. W-E-S-A
