What if the biggest difference between people who build wealth in Africa and those who spend their lives searching for opportunities abroad isn't how much money they can raise or how many degrees they have, but understanding that your mental programming determines everything you see and everything you miss, that a people who cannot accept their own names their own skin their own language will always struggle to see value in their own land, and that the young man who raised over $10,000 to become a second class citizen changing diapers for four months straight in a foreign country could have used that same money to build something generational right here where 30 million people wake up every morning exchanging money from the trotro driver to the pharmacist while opportunities announce themselves through every closed provision shop and every roadside yam seller? In this powerful and unfiltered conversation on Konnected Minds, we sit down with someone who reveals why we are only reflecting our thinking anyway and even the chair you chose and the decor you see is based on your mental processes and the training you have had, why our most critical duty as a people is to change the software because you can give people millions but if they don't know what to do they will destroy it, why pouring money into people with wrong mental processes is like pouring water in a leaky basket, and why the duty as an African as a young man is to make sure you don't grow or continue this wrong thinking because we were born into an environment where the thinking makes you so likely to have wrong thinking. He breaks down why even through our universities when you watch our TV even from the pulpit sometimes when our leaders are talking on TV you know that this information will make people poor, why if you don't give yourself different information then you become just like them, why Africa's problem is that one where a people cannot have right self image so everything else you present will be wrong, and why which people talk so negatively about themselves and are trying to look or become like any other people besides themselves and hardly accept who they are. But he also confronts the brutal reality of our conditioning. Why look at our names look at our skin color even our language we fight it, why other people are so ready to sell to us because they know that we are ready to buy from them more than from ourselves, why the African who succeeds here will be an African who has worked on self image at a certain level and is proud, why if you take that success from that person they will still be able to build it because those Africans are very different the software is different the primary process data is different, and why they are consistent in their language consistent in their action because they have given themselves different kind of education. He reveals why if you don't have that kind of education the default setting will work where you wait for the government you wait for God you're looking for visa you're waiting for somebody to give you funding you're looking for political connection, why visa is something that fascinates you and if you marry a white girl it means you're blessed and you worship white Jesus and wearing a suit means you are civilized, why there are so many of our people here who are doing well who you can still trick, and why these things persist because we were born into it. But he also shares the sophisticated understanding of how identity is destroyed from childhood. Why once you get to primary one they start to teach you English but you were speaking your mother's language so why would you not continue with that and what was wrong with your language, why you go to school and they have to add another English name when there was nothing wrong with your original name, why if you put somebody through these processes and they grow up it's easy for them to lose their identity, and why when they bring the contract that says sign the gold for them it will not be difficult because already you are broken. He explains why anytime you watch our TV and see any investor do they look like you, why the young man is just reflecting the programming, why if you want to deal with that you must give yourself different kind of education not the one they are giving you in school, why if that education were enough you would not be less self confident but education is supposed to make you see yourself like I can do it no matter what wherever I am, and why that's what it means to become who you are wherever you are. But he also confronts the tragedy of Africans who cannot see what they have. Why in your village if you're properly trained you will see opportunities and will never see that there's nothing in this village, why you look around and there's big land and you still can't see opportunity until some Chinese man comes and builds a business that employs you and gives you a thousand and you're very happy even though...
