It is easy to accuse others when you are sitting in the comfort of your house. Our situation is more complicated than rhetoric.

why avoid the Arab slavery that was in business way before British colonialism?

I noticed the posters on your wall and laughed so hard( shaking my head) Pan African hall of fame poster without HRH Haile Selassie is a joke please do refere to history books and correct it.

Of Eric Prince and conservancy militias😂😂 Great discussion with a touch of humour.

It all makes sense now.... i remember years ago when Prince Harry stayed at Lewa conservancy until he was bursted by "paparazzi" - the connections are there. I would love to believe that some of these "conservation pioneers" really love animals and intend to protect them but we all know there is always more to the story. History has taught us that foreignors' intentions are not always pure but neither are our politicians'. As for the charlatan😄😁It was funny but sad at the same time. I mean why do we need to bring in a charlatan and waste all that money providing for him special treatment when we already have enough charlatans of our own. Reparation is a nice idea but it would never help us because we are too corrupt to handle money matters - be it financial aid, public funds, reparation. Overall, great discussion; very informational.

I was definitely waiting for this part 😂 Now it all makes sense why Eric Prince had very strong opinions about a country/countries which should be none of his business.

"They never left.....". They never really left whether they are physically in Kenya or not. It reminds me of a Swahili setbook in High school many years ago by the name "Mashetani" by Ebrahim Hussein.

Very informative. I never knew about the Gilgil 10 acre communities.🙂

This is a good one Pius, unfortunately our young people are hooked to tiktok and instagram algorithms, that will always suppress informative content

Arguments for Africa reparations are the same pointless, feckless arguments for African-American reparations. Arguments for reparations are indirect confessions of failures. Are the arguments for reparations just covert requests for re-colonization? The word "reparations" is just a buzzword for "Charity", "Aid", "Welfare", "Handout". After decades of Charity, Aid, Welfare, Handout and still being stuck in the muck, the beggars are too ashamed to ask for more and more Welfare so they are now begging for REPARATIONS. All groups (racial or not) have enslaved other groups (racial or not). The word "slave" comes from the Slavic people who were enslaved by Roman and Muslim empires. And empires in between. Should the people of Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia sue Italy, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia (birthplace of Islam) for reparations? Or is this just a Black-White issue? Reparations are paid by the Loser to the Winner. Yes, Germany paid reparations after WW1 and WW2. Germany made its final payment for World War I reparations on October 3, 2010. Unlike World War I reparations, there was no specific endpoint for World War II reparations. Instead, Germany made payments over several decades, primarily to individual victims of Nazi persecution and to the State of Israel for Holocaust reparations. Reparations are paid by the Loser to the Winner. It is common for the Loser of a law suit to pay the legal expenses (reparations!!!) of the Winning party. This is so because the Winning party is still (after the first legal battle) a legal threat (to win again) to the Losing party. On the Africa-Europe issue, the former African colonies are on the Loser side for it is pleading from weakness, not from strength. The Winner can demand reparations from the Loser because Strength is on the side of the Winner. It is not Personal. It is just Business. Can the ex-African colonies make an offer that the Western Powers cannot refuse? Africa depends much more on the Western Powers than the other way around. Deny raw materials? Raw materials can be found outside Africa. Africa cannot produce the machinery needed in a Modern Economy. But, but, but the ex-colonies are WINNERS in International Court!!! So what. The Court of country X is backed by the force of the Police; said Police can enforce the judgements of the Court. The International Court has no Police. Judgements of the International Court has no punch thus no practical value. Morality for morality's sake is stupid. The purpose of morality is the survival of Society to the next generation. In the animal world there are parasitic species. In the world of Nations, are the ex-colonies begging for reparations implicitly asking to become the parasites? Which Nation want to become hosts to parasites? Which Nation want to subsidize parasites? But, but, but what about the reparations Haiti paid to France? Haiti was the WINNER in 1804!!! Really? Usually after a war, the Winner is still a threat to the Loser. In 1804, Haiti was not a threat to France (Haiti had no Navy) but France was still a threat to Haiti. Haiti was at best a Pyrrhic Winner. For more than 200 years, Haiti has been losing the Peace. France, being still a threat to Haiti, was in the position to demand, from Strength, reparations. By the way, France got its reparations on the third attempt. Nations go through life cycles like humans. A cohort of Leaders remain such for about 60 years. The USA went through a mid-life crisis at the 84th year (1860 -1776) with the Civil War; the USA survived that crisis. The USSR went through a mid-life crisis at the 72th year (1989 -1917); the USSR did not survive the crisis. The PRC went through a crisis at the 34th year (1982 -1948) with the switch to the Capitalist Economic model; however Deng Tsiao Ping was a contemporary of Mao Tse Dong. Many African colonies gained their Independence in the early 1960's. 60 years have passed (2020 -1960). The original African Leaders have passed on. The current set of African Leaders have to reflect hard on the correctness of their predecessors' initiatives. This current demand for "reparations" is as incorrect as their predecessors' love for Socialism.

Looking forward to part 2.

Great discussion. I wonder what the British intention was/is with CBC. Growing up, i endured a learning environment flooded with fallacy because of teachers who lacked critical thinking skills. This was for both Primary and High school. Apart from teachers, I often wonder why the education system in Kenya or some african countries often produce many graduates with poor critical thinking skills. I'm not saying that the system doesnot produce intellectuals because that would not be true but the majority are not great thinkers despite being highly educated. I have never really understood why that happens and honestly, i dont know if CBC will produce a better outcome or even if that's the objective at all.

Brics good 👍 buzzness first I am from India 🇮🇳

Which craft is that 😄😄 We probably need to ask the likes of IMF, "Which craft is this" before embracing their "help". Unfortunately we have been brainwashed to view our traditional practices as witchcraft when we really should be questioning the western craft😄 Great discussion.

Interesting discussion. I would love to hear Mwalimu's view on the way forward without funding from IMF, World bank etc and generally the survival of African states economically after "decolonization". Looking forward to part 2.

Great discussion. I agree with the guest’s views for most part. I wonder who the British living in Kenya and calling the shots are. Very informative.

Great discussion! This is the first time i heard someone admitting that they are stating a conspiracy theory😁😂😂 Usually conspiracy theorist express their views like its the truth and would even get offended if you flashed the “conspiracy theory” card in front of them - perhaps those are the less intelligent ones.

Another good one! I remember that IMF petition years ago when i gladly added my signature. As for huduma number, I never signed up because it looked very suspicious.The guest is well informed and hilarious as well in the way he describes things. For example, of the rhodes scholars and LSE graduates, " take the bright ones, capture them with training abroad" - it's avery interesting perspective that the "students" might not see if they take those "offers" as innocent educational opportunities.

Hapo sawa bro

Kenya should have done more to the Agricultural sector, especially in Tea and Coffee production. Kenyan tea and coffee is recognized worldwide and i remember about 18 years ago i could buy Kenyan tea and coffee in most cities in Canada. For example, 7-11 had Kenyan coffee, Superstore had Kenyan tea, among others. Nowadays, Kenyan tea is mostly mixed with other teas from other parts of the world and sold as a different brand as in the case of Lipton. We allowed ourselves to be diluted in the market. The problem is that everytime the government gets involved in Agriculture there is always a huge scandal tied to corrupt individuals.

This is a good discussion. It’s interesting that Russia is doing just fine without SWIFT, isn’t it? Thanks to their trading partners. Considering the dictatorship claims of leaders whose countries are still buying Russian oil in large quantities, it’s probably more than just the price of oil.

A very informative discussion! Dedollarization has a long way to go because the use of the dollar in international markets is based on trust. United States has been relatively stable economically and politically over the years and that fuels the trust of the US dollar in the international markets. There are other currencies that are as valuable as the dollar or even more valuable in terms of exchange rates but the economic and/or political stability in the corresponding countries might be questionable thus these currencies might not command the level of trust that the dollar has.

Great discussion!

Insightful

Great discussion!

Erik Prince has a point. Historically, this point of view is very offensive because of the oppression and all the negative things that accompanied colonialism but economically, maybe…..

“If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. But once you stop digging, you are still in a hole”👏🏾👏🏾 Another great conversation.

I don’t think the credit agencies are unfair, i think the countries with poor rating are really doing poorly. It’s similar to individual/consumer credit rating in countries where credit system is more developed in which case if you are rated poorly then that’s really what it is.

I totally agree with the point about capitalists and immigration. The capitalists in countries like Canada are fuelling mass immigration because immigrants are a source of cheap labour, which in turn increases their profits.

DT is an idiot but he is hilarious😀😀 That’s spot on. Another great discussion.

🤣🤣This “woke” thing sure slipped through my fingers. I mostly heard it among black Americans for a year or 2 and before i even understood what it meant, it was gone.

😃😃Karl Marx was an extremist. I don’t think Marxism in it’s purest form can succeed anywhere in the world but different variations might work in some situations, especially in some sectors and not for entire country/economy.

Great conversation covering a wide range of topics with lots of nuggets. On a lighter note, I can relate to the studying abroad part in the sense that the experience was different from what i had envisioned but overall the system there works. There were so many good points that commenting on all of them will turn into a RUclips spam. I especially found the perspective on how colonialism made kikuyus obsessed with land very interesting and that before then, land was communally owned and was considered holy. This then took my mind to other Kenyan communities, the effects of colonialism and whether we were left better off or worse off. This was a very thought provoking discussion and i’m looking forward for more.👏🏾

Great discussion!

Nice work!

The Trouble with this defence for Democracy is that. ?? The White People Still Use different forms of Tactics to influence and Control the Democratic Systems. ?? Making Most of the Leader Puppets. ?? Who Don't Care much about the Warefare of the People. But in the UK 🇬🇧 and the West. ?? The People are Taken Care of Properly. In Housing ?? Social Benifits to Vanurable Groups. ?? This same Senario is happening In Ghana and Accross Africa. What us the Use of Democracy when. The People who Voted the Government into Power are Desperately Hungry ?? And those In Government are Rich but Don't Care about the People. Wake Up Mate.

This is a very interesting conversation. I am from the Netherlands, just like Itchy Boots. From my perspective, colonization is a dark chapter in our history. As a country, we are heavily engaged in apologizing and rectifying past wrongs. It is a significant issue in our society. However, I do believe that at some point, it must be closed. There are many people from Indonesia, Suriname, and the Antilles living in the Netherlands. Everyone is given the same opportunity. I have friends from these countries, and we see each other as equals. We do not perceive any class differences or the like. The new threat comes from Russia and China. They are now doing exactly what we did in the past. Western countries have moved past these dark practices. However, it has resulted in malevolent countries becoming increasingly powerful, which may lead to history repeating itself.

Eric ignorance helps him forget that it's always been a setup... The west is and has always set in their foreign policies to interfere and manipulate all those Nations he is talking about... Very Good critical Topic... Too much digration .... Theirs a lot African people can get educational by them understanding the full context to this

Had a great time having this discussion with you! Cant wait tk watch your show grow

Very informative, and a great discussion. Looking forward to more shows. Teddy

Very informative, and a great discussion. Looking forward to more shows. Teddy from Addis Ababa

Very Informative 🎉,Great Discussion . Looking forward to more Shows

Great discussion! The time is right for Africa to redefine and build confidence its own philosophy. African scholars - like yourselves - playing their part would be helpful in this regard

This really nice. Very informative 👏
