In his latest Letter from Gulu Mao was very impressed with Joyce Meyer’s Gulf Stream and the huge stage built in an equally huge tent. He effusively praised the woman on her message of hope cackled to the people of Gulu.
First, the impression portrayed by Mao is not unlike that of the Afrikan chiefs of yore years who marveled at beads, snuff and gun powder. Sooner or later their power was taken from them and aliens were in control and the people were traded like goats.
The message of hope is well and good but, if it has to reach home from a rich foreign preacher woman, then the people of Gulu are in serious trouble for lack of inspiring leadership. This is mental, and it is incumbent on the leadership to be able to navigate the collective mind.
In Europe there was the Berlin Airlift of food and other essentials. Europe had the advantage of the massive Marshall_Plan to rebuild from the ruins of war. Show me a similar overture, apart from the pittance being wagged in our faces. So, to Joyce Meyer: we are not sitting on our fanny waiting for manna to fall from heaven. Instead of the cruel comparison with Europe get off your high horses and lobby your governments to help us rebuild the dilapidated schools, hospitals and roads. The rest we can take care of. Thank you.
