The statement by Jean-Jacques Rousseau that “Man is born free but everywhere is in chains”. If superimposed on the Africans, it will be rephrased that, “The African is born free but everywhere in chains.”
The question is where do you seek the source of these chains? The answer is simply, ourselves through our beliefs, traditions and taboos. Believe it or not, the notion or the idea of sinning and punishment by God and gods, the belief in the works of evil forces has led to the creation of fearful and mentally incarcerated Africans.
The resulting effect is the African inability to think independently and to take volition action in response to his own life challenges.
