The African HERO That Never Was !!! [Social Justice POEM]

They hailed him HERO,
not for courage, not for sacrifice,
but in that twisted African sense
where thieves are crowned with praise
for plundering the public purse
and fattening his own estates, plattered with his name all over the Publicly funded buildings.

Yet truth unmasks the myth:
he was NO savior, NO hero, NO legend,
only a EXPLOITATIVE-MAINPULATIVE-SCAMMER,
a cunning cartographer of greed, who successfully
mapped the hunger and desire of widows,
the desperate prayers of orphans,
the trembling hopes of the aged,
and turning them into currency and self accumulation.

He studied the African Poor Peasants love for SUPERMAN 🦸‍♂️ like HEROES, and built his own empire on that African obsession for HEROES, he seized the opportunity. He crowned himself the HERO (put himself at the centre of all gatherings though he pretended someone higher than him was the centre), while his generals (he build the empire with) were silenced like villains. He loved glory more than truth, and though he cloaked himself in humility, it was false humility, a mask stitched with fear.A shrewd and merciless authoritarian, he planted terror unimaginable into those who dared to question him.

He plucked the life-savings 💰 of grandmothers 👵 who sold their last goats 🐐 and chickens 🐔 in the village, he exploited orphans who dreamt of tomorrow, of the vulnerable who believed a golden door had opened for them.

But the gold was a mirage, their futures pawned
to build his empire of lies and self enrichment at his victims expense, his offerings of excess and self accumulation fattened his pockets.

He was more CURSE than blessing
to widows, to orphans, to grannies and grandfathers in the villages, who watched him glide between mansions, lavish in stolen wealth,
while their children slept on empty stomachs, dropped out of school for lacking school fees which he had stolen from their pockets, robbed of even their few savings, threatened with words of doom: "GOD WILL CURSE YOU …"if they dared to resist and not hand over their Live savings "voluntarily"???

Now, his victims live in denial of the extend of damage he caused to them, singing his name with trembling lips, prisoners of Stockholm’s syndrome curse of sympathy with you abuser, traumatized, hypnotized, their pain recast as loyalty.

But history will not stay silent. Books shall be written, songs of warning shall rise. One day clans, families and Individuals will awaken, families 👪 will remember how they laid bare their lives and wealth at the altar of a fraud, a manipulator, an exploiter, a vicious con artist draped in borrowed glory. The "book of Amos 4" kind of Cow Of Bashan.

Vulnerable Widows, ophans and the needy sustained his lavish lifestyle while the victims languishing in deep poverty in the Villages of Africa. Cry my beloved Motherland 😢, for that which they have done to your citizenry is a deep scar that Generations will suffer the consequences. From Slavery, Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism to our very own MAN & WOMAN in suits whom we trusted with our lives, but ending taking advantage of our trust in them.

POEM: The Africa HERO that never was.

[Song of Solomon 1:6] Do not stare at me because I am dark, for the sun has gazed on me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me take care of their vineyards. I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always take stock, pause, reflect & ask yourself:

(1). Whose Vineyard am I taking care of? With all this busy body i have become, with NO family time, NO rest time, NO meditation time?

⚠️ 📢 🚨 Dear African Union Citizens from cape to cairo + those in Diaspora, Be careful of human beings who use you & milk you dry in the name of God, Allah or any other God to their Advantage.

(2). Ask yourself, Will my Children inherit any tangible life changing wealth 💰 🏘 🏠 🏡 from it when Children of other man will be inheriting empires build by your own sweat 😓, blood & life savings?

(3). Again ask yourself, Will my Children not spit 🤮 on my Grave to know that I invested a lifetime & all my productive age/years building another Man's Vineyard (family Trust) while mine is neglected?

(4). Further reflect and ask thyself, Have i not become a victim of *fear-mongering*, *Manipulation* and *Exploitation* by others to the disadvantage of my CHILDREN'S & Great-Grandchildren's?

(5). Watchout those endless shopping 🛍 🛍🏬 🛒 episodes,are you not pulling wealth & your life savings into other people's business?

- Do you really need those new clothes 👕 👔 🎽 👗 👚 now or its peer pressure of catching up at the expense of building sustainable wealth?
- Can you not cut back by growing your own Vegetables 🍃, tomatoes 🍅 , Carrots 🥕🥕 in the back garden?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Test the Spirits: Breaking the Curse of ABUSE, spiritual Manipulation and financial💰, Exploitation among AFRICA's POOR Peasants and religious followers ”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brothers and sisters of the Motherland ,
I speak to the farmers who till the soil with their bare hands, to the market 🍅 🥕 women who rise before the sun 🌞 , to the laborers whose sweat builds the palaces they will never sleep in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pain of being an today is not our skin colour, it is the chains on our minds 🧠 . We have been told that to be blessed 💰, we must give to those who already sit on mountains of gold and live in Mansion build on the blood of poor widows, Ophans and the Vulnerable of our Communities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have been told that if we do not empty our pockets weeekly/monthly/quaterly or annually to enrich them, God will "CURSE" us.

But I tell you today, that is not the Gospel of Christ; that is the gospel of wolves in Sheep's Clothing. How can your Creator curse you when He created you blessed with your hands holding gifts in your folded fists 👊 👊 when you came out of your mothers womb 🤰.

The Word of God says:

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a man tells you to give so that he can buy another mansion/car, test the spirit!

If a man/woman claims God told him/her you must pay her first before your child, widows, ophans and vulnerable can eat 🍚 🍛, again test the spirit!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If they build their kingdom (family trusts & Pvt Ltd Companies using Public funds solicited in various ways such as Tithes/Offeings/Gifts) while your family sinks in poverty and test the spirit!

Jesus Himself warned us:

> “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15)

And James declared:

> “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God… is to visit orphans and widows in their affliction.” (James 1:27)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Mathew 25 verse 31 - 46]

So I ask you again and again, where is the care for the WIDOWS who are sleeping with children on empty stomach while these COWS 🐄 OF BASHAN rebuked by Prophet Amos (AMOS 4:1) are swimming in Luxury & plenty, switching homes from one Mansion 🏡 🏘 to the Other, who have erected high Security Perimeter Fences to be inaccessible by the POVO !!!

Where is the food 🍚 🍛 for the hungry?

Where is the schoo fees 💰 l for the orphans?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My people, we cannot end this "CURSE of EXPLOITATION" until we break the chains in our minds. We must awaken. We must question. We must unite against our EXPLOITERS by not funding their LUXURY at our family's expense !!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They have abandoned collections for the Majority (1 Corinthians 16) (Acts 4:32-35) and perfected Collections for self ENRICHMENT💰.

Gone are the days when COLLECTIONS were done using Formal Church Secretariat Books for Audit purposes, now they have perfected the Art of BROWN Envelopes ✉️ to move Millions of Money tax Free, they are more dangerous than the drug lords of South America.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drug lord & Kingpin, "El-Chapo Guzman" himself will run 🏃‍♂️ and flee 🏃‍♂️ when his Drugs money 💰 is asked to be mixed with these African WOLVES in Sheep's clothes.

Because "El-Chapo" used complex methods to move dirty money evading the Well equiped FBI, CIA and Interpol, but these WOLVES in Sheep's clothes on African Pullpits move their DIRTY LOOT 💰 in broad day light with their Victims ullulating for them.

They worship no more God their Creator, but the God of Mamon/Money 💰. They Embezzle Public raised funds for self enrichment with no shame at all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At time is coming when the puppies 🐶 🐶 will open their eyes and declare:

No more shall the wealth of the poor feed the greed of the "ALREADY" rich.

No more shall fear be used to rob us in the name of faith.

No more shall the vulnerable be abandoned while wolves in holy robes fatten themselves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rise, African Union Motherland citizens at home and Abroad/DIASPORA.

Let your faith be rooted in truth of the Gospel not the Visions of their hallucinations they have ENSLAVED you with, claiming to have seen God so that you may FEAR them more than your FEAR God your Creator.

(Ezekiel 13:6): Their visions are false and their divinations a lie. Even though the Lord has not sent them, they say, “The Lord declares,” and expect him to fulfill their words.

(Jeremiah 27:15) ‘I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord. ‘They are prophesying lies in my name. Therefore, I will banish you and you will perish, both you and the prophets who prophesy to you.’”

NB: Some were send at the beginning, but Power and Wealth accumulation corrupted them, and deviated from the original mandate to be Sheperds of this flock, now they are not just milking the sheep until it brings bloodz they are slaughtering the sheep while on duty in the fields before the owner fo the sheep comes to pick them up. Very scary things going on in the motherland at home and in DIASPORA communities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let your giving be to uplift the poor, not enrich the powerful millionaires who live lavishly in Mansions platted with Gold refinings.

Let your worship be in spirit and in truth, not in the financing of greed.

The day we learn to test the spirits, the chains will begin to fall.

And when the chains fall from the mind 🧠, they will soon fall from the land.

Amen & Amen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Mathew 7:15] MSG “Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity (constantly saying the Lord bless you as a manipulative way to acess your pocket). Chances are they are out to rip 💰 you off some way or other. Don’t be impressed with charisma; look for character. Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adapted from my Upcoming book tittled: -----.

⚠️ 📢 🚨: MENTAL SLAVERY & STOCKHOLM-SYNDROME in CITIZENS of the Motherland African Union at home and Abroad.

The Unseen 👀 Chains of My Motherland @ Home and ABROAD/DIASPORA: A Case of "mentaly & critically BLIND" followers suffering from STOCKHOLM-SYNDROME which is a form of psychological connection with their captors/abusers/exploiters and begin sympathizing with them. Including other types of TRAUMA in which there's a bond between the abuser (abusive system) and the person/people being abused/exploited.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pain of being an African is not in the skin we wear, but in the spirit we surrender. It is a tragedy too deep for words, when the children of the soil believe their salvation lies in financing 💰 the luxuries of those who stand on mountains of stolen gold and swimming 🏊‍♂️ in the rivers of hard cash stolen in various ways (Tithes/Offerings/Seeds/Gifts/subscriptions/tap into my anointing) from their blind followers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only the poor peasants, the farmers, the market women, the laborers are told that the path to BLESSINGS 💰 is to empty their pockets into the hands of the rich, even as their children starve at home in the village.

Only the POOR are told that if they do not give, God will curse them, while the millionaires and billionaires, who milk them dry, sit in palaces, feast at golden tables, and ride 🚗 the roads in beasts of steel (no car is beyond their capacity to buy, all fianced by CONTRIBUTIONS of POOR Peasants).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But to the CONTRARY the Word of God commands:

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

This is a scam and EXPLOITATION so cruel that it has erased generations of family wealth, leaving widows destitute, orphans abandoned, and whole communities robbed of education, health, and dignity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A scam so smooth that it wears holy robes and speaks in sacred tongues, claiming the authority of heaven while its fruits are nothing but despair on earth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our beautiful Motherland groans under this curse of exploitation.
The question is not just when it will end — but whether we will dare to rise, to break the chains in our minds before we can break them in our lands.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ways Poor Peasants Can Break Free from Mental Slavery and Exploitation by Wolves in Sheep's Clothing who are building Billion Dollar family TRUSTS using Life savings of PEASANTS in African Villages.

(Each one of these points is a seed of liberation — but seeds must be planted, watered, and guarded.)

(1). Awaken Critical Thinking in Communities like the church as BEREA:

Teach communities to ask questions, to compare words with actions, and to demand evidence before believing promises — even from those in robes, suits, or crowns.

Acts 17:11-15 New Living Translation (NLT): And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul's message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Community Education Circles:

Form free local study groups where knowledge of history, rights, finance, and scams is shared openly because ignorance is the most fertile soil for exploitation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Break the Fear Narrative:

Expose the manipulation tactic of “God will curse you” by teaching that true faith is not bought with money and that no blessing comes from robbing the poor to feed the rich.

(Matthew 7:15 — “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Financial Literacy for All:

Teach budgeting, saving, and cooperative investment so that money circulates within the community, not flowing endlessly to the top few.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Expose the Wolves:

Publicly document and share stories of those who lost everything, so the scams can no longer hide behind secrecy and shame.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Build Local Self-Reliance Movements:

Cooperatives, community farms, and shared markets can keep wealth local and reduce dependence on manipulative leaders who milk their followers telling them to give so that "God" can bless them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Teach the Power of Collective Action:

An exploited peasant alone feels powerless, but a united community can boycott, protest, and replace corrupt leadership.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Reclaim the Sacred from the Corrupt:

Bring spiritual gatherings back to their roots, service, community care, and truth without lavish displays that exploit the vulnerable.

(James 1:27 — “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God… is to visit orphans and widows in their affliction.”)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Protect the Vulnerable First:

Create community safety nets for widows, orphans, and the sick so that no one feels forced to choose between faith and survival.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Raise Generations That Cannot Be Enslaved
Start with the children — teach them to honor their culture, guard their minds, and never see poverty as a divine destiny.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Mathew 25: 31 - 46: The Sheep and the Goats]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💰 8. Wealth is not just money, it’s purpose, peace, and divine provision. God’s definition of wealth is wholeness in Him.

Extract from my upcoming Book: [The Age of Great Deception and Distraction: Things we Must be Aware of That Can Derail us from our God-Predestined Destiny]

- Romans 8:30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

We are living in unprecedented times, an era that can be rightly called The Age of Great Deception and Distraction. The enemy’s tactics have shifted from outright confrontation to subtle manipulation. He enermy of progress and thr destiny crusher doesn’t always need to destroy you directly; he only needs to distract or deceive you just enough to steer you off course.

“For false messiahs and false prophets (Deceptors) will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Matthew 24:24

To fulfill your God-given purpose and reach your destiny, you must be spiritually alert. The distractions are many, and the deceptions are convincing. Below are key areas every believer must guard against:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Be alert ⚠️ of Deception Through Worldly Success: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Mark 8:36.

Be very careful of a culture that over glorifies wealth accumulation, status, and fame, often disguising bo***ge (to Mamon) as success. Pursuing the world’s version of greatness can lead you away from God’s will. Be aware of:

• Measuring worth by possessions
• Chasing titles over purpose
• Trading integrity for recognition
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Distraction by Busyness (Busybodies - 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12)

“Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed, or indeed only one.” Luke 10:41–42. We fill our schedules but empty our souls. In all the doing, we forget to be still before God. Be aware of:

• Overcommitting
• Ministry without intimacy
• Prioritizing hustle over holiness
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Obsession with Technology 📱 📲 💻 🎮.

“Everything is permissible for me—but I will not be mastered by anything.” 1 Corinthians 6:12b
Technology has its benefits, but when it dominates our lives, it damages relationships. Be aware of:

• Endless scrolling and digital addiction
• Ignoring loved ones at the table
• Substituting virtual connection for real fellowship
• Tuning out God's voice amid digital noise
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Deception of Comfort and Compromise.

“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion…” Amos 6:1
Comfort is not always a blessing, sometimes it's a trap. Be aware of:

• Settling for less than God’s best
• Avoiding truth to stay popular
• Justifying small sins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Distraction by Sin and Hidden Weakness.

“Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.” Hebrews 12:1
Sin doesn’t always roar; sometimes it whispers. Be aware of:

• Secret addictions
• Emotional wounds left to fester
• Private compromises that kill public calling
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Deception of False Identity.

“You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood… ”1 Peter 2:9 In an era obsessed with labels and visibility, many forget their identity in Christ. Be aware of:

• Seeking validation from the world
• Identity based on performance
• Confusing followers with favor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Distraction by the Wrong People.

“Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” 1 Corinthians 15:33. Not everyone in your life is meant to stay. Be aware of:

• Toxic relationships
• Being unequally yoked
• People who drain rather than build
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Deception Through Fear and Anxiety.

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
Fear paralyzes your potential. Anxiety clouds your discernment. Be aware of:

• Fear of rejection
• Fear of failure
• Fear of stepping out in faith
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Distraction from the Voice of God.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27. The challenge is not just to listen—but to recognize God’s voice above the noise. Be aware of:

• Overconsumption of opinions
• Dullness in prayer
• Neglecting God’s Word
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Deceptions Aimed at Destroying the Traditional Family Institution at all cost. “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”. Psalm 11:3 Satan has targeted the very structure God ordained: the family Institution. Be aware of:

• Redefining Marriage against the God ordained oder: Matthew 19:4–6.

• Normalizing pervasive Relationships that defile the body (temple of Christ). Romans 1:26–27 & Gender Confusion, Genesis 1:27 especially one that is targeted at young people to confuse them before they are mature enough to make their own informed decisions about Sexualilty & preferences.

• Undermining Fatherhood and the role of father as head of the family, just like Christ is head of the church: Malachi 4:6

• Devaluing Motherhood and undemining the importance of mentoring young girls to be future mothers whom are called to carry next generatios in their wombs: Proverbs 31:27

• Sexual Freedom with multiple partners Over Commitment: Hebrews 13:4

• Educational Indoctrination to destroy children by those with a sinister agenda: Proverbs 22:6

• Alternative Parenting Models wihout acknowleding God’s ways of rasing children in values of respect and humility: Psalm 127:3

• Mocking Traditional Values in Media while promoting "unholy-Values": Isaiah 5:20

• Laws That Undermine Truth: Isaiah 10:1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Deception of Gluttony. “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.” Proverbs 23:20–21

- Gluttony is more than overeating, it’s a lifestyle of indulgence that replaces discipline with excess.Be aware of:

• Using food 🍚 🍖 🥓 🥩 or pleasure to numb spiritual hunger.
• Consuming more than you need.
• Ignoring physical stewardship or taking care of your physical body by exercising.
• Letting comfort replace conviction

- Gluttony dulls discernment. A bloated life leaves no room for God's leading.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Hint: How to Stay Focused in This Age of distractions & Deception.]

“Therefore, be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.” Matthew 24:42

• Stay Rooted in God’s Word: Psalm 119:105; Let His Word light your path.

• Renew Your Mind Daily: Romans 12:2; You must unlearn the world to live the Word.

• Pursue Stillness and Prayer: Make time to hear God. Silence the noise.

• Guard Your Family: Joshua 24:15, Declare your house for the Lord and lead with courage.

• Discern the Times: 1 Peter 5:8, Be sober-minded. The enemy is cunning but not unstoppable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Final Word]: Remain Focused, Remain Faithful
Your destiny is too valuable to be lost to deception or delay. In this Age of Great Deception and Distraction, clarity is your compass and obedience is your strength.

Stay rooted in Christ. Refuse to compromise. Guard your calling. Protect your family. And walk forward in truth, no matter how loud the lies become. “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Revelation 2:10
