Yes! Immigration is Human
I lost my voice but here it is! I think after all these discussions I will speak about other things. My hope that Africa will change the mentality someday will take time. My channel was not about it but it became something like that. I will talk about fun stuffs for now. So this is what I have to say:
Immigration is human!
Now illegal immigration is more complicated but nobody should have their human rights denied. Because in a person you do not know what is his destiny and his future. You do not know if God will use him or her in the country he enters illegally. This always takes me to a saying in my native language when we say "" A man was born carrying many bags and in one of them there is his destiny. His greatness." That's why you have to be careful on how you treat people because you don't know who is standing in front of you. It is the reason why I say BE HUMBLE. The story of Joseph in the Bible is a perfect example of immigration too. Joseph entered as a slave in Egypt (A powerful country at the time) became Prime minister of pharaoh later. My parents always taught me to treat people with respect because YOU NEVER KNOW WHO THEY ARE or WHO THeY WILL BE. It is just a matter of time.
I am a strong believer and supporter of Human Rights. All the divisions we have between Africans forbid me to talk about racism often because it will be so hypocrite. Especially knowing that there are wonderful and amazing people in other countries and races.A child of God preach unity not division and the Bible teaches us: "Or how can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye' while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye." (Matthew 7:3-5).
History teaches and will always teaches us. The World is not our little world. It is bigger than that. We don't know what the future holds so let's be wise.
I am African first before being from Gabon. I believe in an united Africa and panafricanism. I think we should elevate the way we view immigration in the continent. We must change that low mentality. I say it is LOW!! In my native culture we were taught that HUMAN is Wealth! Human is a powerful resource. If one day I meet the president of my country, I will ask to change the immigration law for other Africans coming to my country. It is a shame that colonizers can have better openings than other Africans. It has to change.
Africa is the Motherland.
I know someday I will be working with some countries in Africa that are opened to other Africans. My hope is to visit many parts of my continent and do things there. This is my dream and my hope. 🙏
I truly believe that my continent is the future and I hope to give that Love ❤️ to my son and my future grand children.
BTW I invite you to read a post I wrote years ago here in this blog that I titled "Because We are Human"
My goal is to make people see immigration and immigrants in a different way even when they are illegal. It is important to see that we are all HUMANs. It breaks my heart when I see humans leaving their homes in very sad condition. It breaks my heart when I see humans walking not knowing where to go...It breaks my heart. But I also understand that government on the other side should protect their borders. You can only allow a certain number of immigrants. As for the illegals it is complicated but please do not let them die. Save them and send them back to their home country if possible (if there no wars there). Every human should be treated with Dignity.
This is for all the migrants in the world. This is for you if you are a migrant. BTW the girl in the video clip that Wyclef is saving in the refugee camp is from my country and she played a refugee in the song who is going to be deported. She is a top model in real life and an immigration activist.
