    "Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter." I love this proverb meaning. It's time to learn to write, teach others to do so and pass on to generations to rewrite history. Thank you Komla Dumor for the inspiration.

    First, I appreciated hearing the Nigerian song (singing of peace, unity, and love); so beautiful. I am a citizen of the USA and it is such a contrast to the United States song ("and the rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air"). Secondly, yes, there must be a balanced presentation of the lives of people of color; globally. If you're going to show the village, then also show the city and vice versa. Finally, it is important for each of us to tell our own story; whether it be countries or individuals. No one can tell my story better than me because I've lived it! Peace.

Maybe except for South Africa. In order to have an identity to Africa, one has to know them self, it only comes when you know yourself through your own concept's
      your own African concepts.

    Komla you did so much in your given time. Journey on to greater things in service. You said so much in 19 minutes. Afrikans must learn about themselves and the beautiful continent,the pan Afrikan way! It doesn't matter about language, traditions, the divisions etc. What matters is our love for the continent and all that it has been given by The Creator. If we had followed Nkrumah's dream and not allowed outside influences to divide us, we would be standing in gratitude in honour of The Most High. It lies with the next generation to develop the necessary insights and strength.

    I had no idea that he had passed as I just became aware of this clip last week. I was so impressed that I sent it out to my friends. This was one heavy Brother who connected with my core. So sad.

      Please, do you know how he passed? I heard it was right after he did this speech, it sounds as if he was murdered!

      No from what I understand it was from an medical condition he was dealing with for quite some time.

      He had a heart attack. He did approximately 48-72 hours later.

    RIP Boss Player....If i were a family Member, I will be glad and not Sad, because with the few years you lived, you made the mark, you put your family in the limelight. And above all your young soul will forever be remebered. RIP Boss Player. As William Shakespeare rightly puts it, “all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”
    RIP
