The Brain Drain, by Cheri-Cherin, Congo 2004. |
Many argue that it is the bleeding of
young African aptitude that holds immense reason for Africa's predicament as a
potential 'deplorable dump'. I argue that the bleed is an inevitable necessity.
Its stains smear consequence, not to be confused with reason or cause.
The big brain drain game illustrates the
African man's naivety. His creditors drunkenly amused at their ease of theft.
'Divide-and-rule' mechanisms have robbed the African man's morality, such that
he readily frees his jewels to appease acceptance and comradeship of his
creditors.
If only his school fee covered for the
lessons of 'Dukes will not deign to dine with donkeys', then maybe such
manipulative comradeship could have been avoided.
I shall cease to tease you however; I
shall simply say I am a grand advocate of brain draining. If you can supply,
why not demand? If Mother's milk depletes find a new bosom, or do one better,
find Tesco's two for one deal on formula - but, if you can graze from your own
soil, all praise to the one that released your rain.
To root Africa's inexcusable state is one
task that begins by acknowledging she cannot be studied in her wholesome state
as late Polish journalist R.Kapuscinski reveals, she is a 'geographical
appellation'. Therefore, different organs require different surgeries and
sensibility reassures us that pains spurred from organ failures cannot for one
second constitute as the cause hence, the brain drain of African entrepreneurship
fails to qualify as a reason for the continent’s delayed prosperity.
Hence, I disapprove of many, if not all
debates favouring brain draining as a fragmental cause of Africa's overdue bust.
I say any that recruits and sustains the dependency of foreigners is a wise
man.
Alero.
