PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA & AFRICAN CENTURY

By Hilary Ojukwu

In retrospect, when the former South African president, Mr. Thabo Mbeki made the declaration that this century is Africa's own did he ever imagine that so early into the 21st century an African would mount the rostrum of the American presidency? Perhaps, this is a question only Mbeki can answer.

But when the moment of reckoning came, the d-day, the h-hour, the m-minute, the s-second, a black man placed his hand on a Bible and took the oath as the 44 th President of the United States of America . The whole scenario felt as if one was in a dream, but it was real and now we have a black man, the son of an African man, from Kenya , of the Luo tribe serving as the most powerful man in the world.

Why the emphasis on Obama's blackness and Africanness?

Many commentators want us to believe that Obama's blackness does not matter. They are always quick to remind us that President Obama was brought up by his white mother and maternal grandparents. They put it in a way that makes one to think that his father literally abandoned his son without compunction. That is untrue. In his memoir, Dreams From My Father, President Obama made some interesting revelations when recounting his mother's views and assertions about her marriage to Obama Sr. and the unfortunate or should I say “fortunate” divorce that separated a father and his son:

“It wasn't your father's fault that he left, you know. I divorced him. When the two of us got married, your grandparents weren't happy with the idea. But they said okay—they probably couldn't have stopped us anyway, and they eventually came around to the idea that it was the right thing to do. Then Barack's father—your grandfather Hussein—wrote Gramps[President Obama's maternal grandfather] this long, nasty letter saying that he didn't approve of the marriage. He didn't want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman, he said. […] And then there was a problem with your father's first wife… he had told me they were separated, but it was a village wedding, so there was no legal document that could show a divorce….”

She had continued, “Your father wrote back, saying he was going ahead with it. Then you were born, and we agreed that the three of us would return to Kenya after he finished his studies. But your grandfather Hussein was still writing to your father, threatening to have his student visa revoked. By this time Toot[President Obama's maternal grandmother] had become hysterical—she had read about the Mau-Mau rebellion in Kenya a few years earlier, which the Western press really played up—and she was sure that I would have my head chopped off and you would be taken away.

“Even then, it might have worked out. When your father graduated from UH, he received two scholarship offers. One was to the New School , here in New York . The other was to Harvard. The New School agreed to pay for everything—room and board, a job on campus, enough to support all three of us. Harvard just agreed to pay tuition. But Barack was such a stubborn bastard, he had to go to Harvard. How can I refuse the best education? He told me. That's all he could think about, proving that he was the best…”

There is no doubt that President Obama's mother did a fantastic job in raising his son. It is also true that Obama's maternal grandparents performed marvelously well in doing their job as grandparents. However, people should read deep into the lines to see the hidden truths that inspired Obama into greatness. One of the truths is that they did not bring up Obama in the mould of a white man. They indeed exposed him to the bitter truth of his blackness and Africanness very early in life. Ann Dunham, President Obama's late mother never stopped telling President Obama stories about Africa . She never ceased extolling the virtues of black people. She taught Obama that to be BLACK is actually BEAUTIFUL and exposed him to his heritage as a black American: “She would come home with books on the civil rights movement, the recordings of Mahalia Jackson, the speeches of Dr. King […] If I told her about the goose-stepping demonstrations my Indonesian Boy Scout troop performed in front of the president, she might mention a different kind of march, a march of children no older than me, a march for freedom. Every black man was Thurgood Marshall or Sidney Poitier; every black woman Fannie Lou Hamer or Lena Horne. To be black was to be the beneficiary of a great inheritance, a special destiny, glorious burdens that only we were strong enough to bear.

“Burdens we were to carry with style. More than once, my mother would point out: ‘Harry Belafonte is the best-looking man on the planet,'” Obama wrote in the Dreams from my Father.

It is not common for a black man to be president in the United States of America . This is the reason we say that President Barack Obama is the first black president in America . Students of American history and followers of world events know that America in fact enslaved black people for many centuries and the election of a black president does not mean that the enslavement of black people and other minorities in America is over. How can people expect black people to ignore what happened recently in the United States ? Many people fought for and died for the freedom of Africans in America . Many others were locked away for many years in jail for challenging a system that promoted the superiority of one race. Therefore, it is not a mere coincidence that after President Obama's election the world started talking about the “Dream of Martin Luther King Jr., the militancy of Malcolm X and the struggles of many other heroes and heroines who rejected racism and injustice. Today, there are many policies and practices that deliberately discriminate against black people in America . Those policies and practices explain why many young black people take to crime, drugs and prostitution instead of going to school. Obama is not the kind of man who is drawn to the presidency for the glitz, glamour and fanfare of high offices. In his inaugural address, he made it clear that the time has come for America to live up to the promises of her founding fathers: Freedom. If there are black people in America who are denied opportunities, America would not be living up to that ideal, if America is invading countries where they promote violence and war, they would not be living up to the ideal of freedom. America would not be promoting the ideal of freedom if it supports the brutalization of Africa in the comity of nations. It is correct that to move in the direction of genuine freedom, a black man who truly knows what injustice means should lead the way.

The election of President Barack Obama will awaken Africans from their slumber of inaction and inactivity. If America can elect the son of an African immigrant to lead them because he offered them hope, clarity of vision, and principled leadership, why should Africa continue to tolerate inept leadership? The election of Obama has sent a strong message to Africa that we can no longer continue to compromise visionary leadership on the basis of tribal jingoism and religious chicanery. In these times, America has done what is good for America by electing President Barack Obama. Beyond the slaughtering of goats in celebrating the election of America 's first black president, the message in all these things is that the time has come for Africa to begin to do what is best for Africa . At this time of global economic crisis, Africa once again is presented with an opportunity to do what is right. We need to abandon xenophobia, tribal chauvinism, religious fanaticism and pull our small economies together for therein lies a glorious future and the certainty of an African century.

 

 

We have a Black President...What next?
by: Toyin Adewunmi
January 20, 2009 will go down in history as they day when heaven and earth stood still for the re-writing of history. The inauguration of Senator Barrack H. Obama as the 44th president of the United States of America puts a new spin on the phrase "only in America".

Gaddafi and the African Union
by: Charles Soeze
RECENTLY, Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi was elected as Chairman of the 53-nation African Union (AU) for one year. Gaddafi was elected by delegates at the AU Summit in Ethiopia and consequently replaced the Tanzanian President, Jakaya Kikwete. It would be recalled that the AU formerly known as Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was formed on May 25, 1963 at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I think and believe that Gaddafi's election was because of his new plans and previous assistance for the African countries.

Deceitful relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom
by: Ivan Simic
For decades relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom was described as perfect, special and unbreakable. This unique relationship is best known trough the remarkably close political, military, diplomatic and cultural relations. However, when it comes to this unique relationship, many things are left out and ignored.

Revisiting Obama's inaugural Address
by: Edwin Madunagu
THE present piece is not a review of President Obama's January 20, 2009 Address. Rather, it is a commentary on aspects of the Address that were messages directed at the Third World, including Nigeria, and nations and peoples and groups that have "problems" with the rulers of America. The speech is, of course, a beautiful prose-the type I would have appropriated and memorised in entirety when I was a small boy. But now, as Saint Paul, the Apostle, admonished, I have to look at these things with adult eyes.

The Niger Delta genocide
by: Sunny Awhefeada
AS I write, the Nigerian State has unleashed its Armed Forces, the largest on the African continent, on the hapless and long over-exploited people of the Niger Delta. A most horrendous and fratricidal onslaught, the ongoing military blitzkrieg has been conceived to brutally subjugate, and if need be annihilate, a target group that has championed the Niger Delta struggle for a decade now. The commando-like pounding of Niger Delta communities and creeks is nothing but war. Yet, the Federal Government has not convincingly shown the world any instance of a casus belli. So far thousands of innocent citizens have died, hundreds of thousands displaced, hunger and hardship now stalk the living.

Letter to President Yar'Adua
by: Niyi Osundare
DEAR President Yar'Adua, welcome back from South Africa. I am happy you were invited to President Jacob Zuma's inauguration, and doubly happy that you accepted the invitation and were, indeed, able to honour it. For you as President of Nigeria at this material time, it must have been a humbling situation and learning experience. In many ways, this looks very much like Nigeria's season of education from the South.
