Emperor Haile Selassie I , King of Kings of Ethiopia and Empress Menen
It's really sad that the stories that take center stage when it comes to Africa are just kind of pathetic. The continued exploitation, dehumanization of black peoples across the world. What's the answer to Nigeria's Boko Haram and the continued demeaning of black girls?
What struck us was the fact that the leader who doesn't deserve to be mentioned said that he would sell these beautiful school girls for $12.00!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!! That's what a black girl is worth in this world? This is pathetic, and it's sad that organizations such as Boko Haram are used by anti-black racist political powers to perpetuate these kind of ideas about black girls. Well..black girls and black women are worth more than $12 freakin dollars!!!
And if you're a Christian and a black girl or black woman....it's time to get real and stop believing in fairy tales. It's time to take a deep look at what you really believe in and get to the crux of the matter. There's more to being a Christian than being a loser, a vain materialistic idiot, a wimp and a person that has to run away from bullies and evil people.
Nigeria's leadership isn't much for making anyone feel any confidence that anyone in Africa has the vision or the courage to do the right thing. And you can't even blame the politicians as much as the Christian Church in Nigeria. My goodness! What a bunch of losers!
Honestly, we have to thank the Boko Haram group for bringing to light the COMPLETE LACK OF MORAL LEADERSHIP on the part of so-called Christian African leaders. It's time to go back to what works in Africa and that is back to our Judeo-Christian kings such as Emperor Haile Selassie I, Emperor Menelik II and so forth. Kings who had a heart, compassion, showed us what courage was in the face of evil and were moving us toward a better future and a better world.
Our generation from 1974 on has turned its back on our kings, our monarchy and what really matters. What we're left with is a society drifting, Christians that don't know the basics or how to even walk the faith they profess to believe in, complete lack of self-respect and utter destruction of the best of what Africa's people have contributed and continue to contribute to the world.
Check out this speech given in 1937 by Emperor Haile Selassie on December 25. It's an address he made to America's Christian people. This is the speech of a true leader, a true king and that's what Africa needs.
If you don't think that's the truth check out these historical facts:
1896 Battle of Adua - when Italy and also get this Egypt invaded Ethiopia. Ethiopia won. Not with military strength with their God on their side. It's King David and Goliath all over again.
1930 Fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia again. Ethiopia WON AGAIN!
You win these wars against bullies and evil people with FAITH, COURAGE AND A JUST CAUSE!!! not running around begging foreigners to help you clean up your own house and selling out your family every single time.
Our generation, we need to wake up to the truth, get up and stand up!!
The new Twitter hashtag needs to be: BRING BACK AFRICA'S KINGS!!!!

EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE'S DEC 25 SPEECH, 1937
I am happy to have this opportunity of personally conveying to you on this day, blessed for mankind, and from this hospitable City of London, my good wishes for your happiness, prosperity and peace. Peace in the heart of every one of you, peace in your families, peace in your States and peace in your relations with the other peoples of the world.
For Christians peoples no day is as glorious and as joyous as the day on which they commemorate the Nativity of our Saviour Jesus Christ. On this happy day each one of us tries to forget his worries and his anxieties, and endeavours to allievate those of their loved ones and friends, and to forgive those who have wronged him, so as only to meditate on the life of Him who is our supreme Lord of all.
From our early childhood we are struck by the sentiment of unfathomable mystery, simple and yet sublime, which stirs up in us the evocation of the Birth of the Divine Child.
The Mistery of Bethlehem reveals itself in our spirit, more fascinating the more we advance on the path of life, and the more we realise the magnitude of the mission each one of us has to accomplish in this world, be it humble or noble, arduous or thankless.
An unheard-of event, expected for more than forty centuries, has at last been accomplished: the Son of God is born, He has only a stable for a palace and a manger for a cradle. The hearts of the wise are thrilled by this majestic humility, and the kings of the earth bend their knees before Him and worship Him.
“Peace on earth, goodwill to men”, this was His first message. In the same manner, when he went to the summit of Calvary, there to expiate for our sins with the supreme sacrifice, He gave up His last breath invoking forgiveness for His very tormentors: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
In pondering on the life, on the goodness, humility and sacrifice of the Saviour of the world, and looking at the laws which He gave us, how much should we be ashamed to call ourselves Christian people, and yet not follow His footsteps. Had we been Christian people, had we been worthy of that name, peace would have reigned on all the face of the earth, and would have risen to the level of those immortal angels who always glorify the eternal God, and the peoples of the world would no longer have remained divided into hostile camps.
In very truth there are no interest or reasons, however legitimate they may be, that can justify war. Was it not, inspired by these noble principles that, among their brethren of other continents, great sons of America have succeeded in laying the foundations of the new international order which best responds to the law of our Redeemer? To banish the scourge of war, to reassemble all States great and small, in a family of nations, so that any differences that may rise between them might be settled according to right and justice.
But, alas, it is also true that the shadow of the Evil One is floating over the earth, even if only to render more deserving the efforts of the wise. It happens that ambitious men succumb to temptation and lead peoples towards crime and desolation. And owing to the violations of the laws of the international society, owing to those repeated aggressions, of which your illustrious President spoke to you recently, the treaties which guarantee to every people security and peace lose their character. The councils of peace vacillate and the noble institutions are baffled.
It is the result of twenty centuries of Christian civilisation which threaten to fall to pieces.
Then it will be the return to the law of the jungle, the return to barbarism. In order that the work of evil may not triumph again over this redeemed humanity, all peace-loving peoples must rally together for the re-establishment of right and peace.
It is not only war that can stop war. Men of goodwill, conscious of their mission, and strengthened by the support of free peoples, can yet save this precious treasure, peace, and stop war.
They can reconstruct where war destroys and desolates.
Happy Christmas, Oh American people; and please remember in your prayers those weak and oppressed peoples who have turned their confident gaze towards the star-spangled banner of the land of liberty, as if to discern the star announcing redemption and peace.
