I candidly say we have a problem we black people. Is the PROBLEM being BLACK?
For one I have captured a retrogressive theory we hold to our screwed HEARTS that what is good is from those White People or those other who do not look like us.
The trend is no black person in Kenya can boast of having an item in the house engraved "Made in Uganda, Made in Kenya, Made in Nigeria, Made in Botswana etc". We pride our guts when we see "Made in EU, USA, Korea, Switzerland, India, Germany, Japan,China, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil, etc. The nearest we go is Made in S.Africa considering its a white factory product.
The recent buy out of Britam holdings by Munga and not the expected outside buyer or partner is here with us with some claiming the downfall of Britam. For them it was in better hands when Mauritian Govt or Rawat held the share than when a Kenyan has it. The same can be seen in America where Black Neighbors have no showrooms/ malls of their own but the rich Blacks walks in white owned malls to buy more expensive items.
Away from consumer goods , is politics where our politicians feel at home when they visit cities in the world for sponsorship and not their rural homes where the poor vote for them after educating them.
Equity Bank is very local and if our Black talents did not have guts, we could be banking in Barclays and Standard Chartered or even HSBC or Morgan Stanley. Equity was built from nothing and has boosted Kenyan blacks. Safaricom to add is African though headed by a white S.A at its growth level
Africans and Blacks need to change, Create, employ and rise by yourselves!!!!

Peoples within the same national borders often hate each other, and people are often more closely allied to their kinsmen in other countries instead of other peoples in their own nation. A Theory of Everything.

Silly generalisations. There are many black people owning and running successful businesses at various levels and there are many white and brown paper persons living from hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck. Life is short. Live passionately.

Africans and Blacks need to change, Create, employ and rise by yourselves!!!! Is this a problem of being black or a problem of being poor? If you are poor, regardless of white or black you won't have access to education, capital etc If you are poor you make short-term decisions, you don't invest in talent, chances are there is little respect for the rule of law as one is not educated enough to see the benefits etc. One cannot change, create, employ or rise if they are trapped in a cycle of poverty where the goal is the basic needs. A good example is leafy parts of Nairobi have less garbage compared to the poor neighborhoods. Both are inhabited by Africans, so it's an economic issue, not the color of the skin. Investment philosophy development in progress...

Africans and Blacks need to change, Create, employ and rise by yourselves!!!! This assertion belongs to the agrarian age.Colonialists wanted africans to feel inferior.But time has proved that we are at par with them.Kenya is far much better now than say like in 1920s or 50s.Your motivation for this long discourse is the reaction from people when Munga bought additional shares that belonged to the mauritian.Thats sibling rivalry and envy.Thats normal even in your own family.So its trivial.Issues to deal with race or mentality does not arise here.The bible talks about " brother turning against brother".I aggree with you on envy but nothing to do with race. Towards the goal of financial freedom
