Strange how all parasites and all political failures target Africa. And it all
starts with promising failures. Trust me Obama is about to promise Acholi to
put them back to power. Watch how they remove their kids out of schools for
they are going back to power. For you wonder how Obama has become the only
thing connecting Acholi and Langi. The only thing.
Been there seen that already

Former American President Barack Obama will this week return to Africa for the
time since he left the top office.
Below is his inspiring statement about his impending visit to Africa.
This week, I’m traveling to Africa for the first time since I left office – a
continent of wonderful diversity, thriving culture, and remarkable stories.
I was proud to visit sub-Saharan Africa more times than any other sitting
President, and I’ll return this week to visit Kenya and South Africa. In South
Africa, the Obama Foundation will convene 200 extraordinary young leaders from
across the continent and I’ll deliver a speech to mark the 100th anniversary of
Nelson Mandela’s birth. Kenya, of course, is the Obama ancestral home. I
visited for the first time when I was in my twenties and I was profoundly
influenced by my experiences – a journey I wrote about in my first book, Dreams
from My Father.
Over the years since, I’ve often drawn inspiration from Africa’s extraordinary
literary tradition. As I prepare for this trip, I wanted to share a list of
books that I’d recommend for summer reading, including some from a number of
Africa’s best writers and thinkers – each of whom illuminate our world in
powerful and unique ways.
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
A true classic of world literature, this novel paints a picture of traditional
society wrestling with the arrival of foreign influence, from Christian
missionaries to British colonialism. A masterpiece that has inspired
generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.
A Grain of Wheat by Ngugi wa Thiong’o
A chronicle of the events leading up to Kenya’s independence, and a compelling
story of how the transformative events of history weigh on individual lives and
relationships.
Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela
Mandela’s life was one of the epic stories of the 20th century. This definitive
memoir traces the arc of his life from a small village, to his years as a
revolutionary, to his long imprisonment, and ultimately his ascension to
unifying President, leader, and global icon. Essential reading for anyone who
wants to understand history – and then go out and change it.
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
>From one of the world’s great contemporary writers comes the story of two
>Nigerians making their way in the U.S. and the UK, raising universal questions
>of race and belonging, the overseas experience for the African diaspora, and
>the search for identity and a home.
The Return by Hisham Matar
A beautifully-written memoir that skillfully balances a graceful guide through
Libya’s recent history with the author’s dogged quest to find his father who
disappeared in Gaddafi’s prisons.
The World As It Is by Ben Rhodes
It’s true, Ben does not have African blood running through his veins. But few
others so closely see the world through my eyes like he can. Ben’s one of the
few who’ve been with me since that first presidential campaign. His memoir is
one of the smartest reflections I’ve seen as to how we approached foreign
policy, and one of the most compelling stories I’ve seen about what it’s
actually like to serve the American people for eight years in the White House.
