We need to understand that politically, as already independent African states, the only road to total emancipation and genuine liberation is by breaking colonial yokes, apparatus and structures; understand that this structure may come in diverse ways.
As Frantz Fanon said ‘capitalism in its expansionist phase regarded Africa as a source of raw materials such that when these materials are processed they are unloaded on the European market’.
The basic reason for European invasion of Africa was solely for economic reasons and nothing else, now since independence has already been attained and the process of genuine decolonization has come into illustration, its incumbent on the leaders of independent African states to begin to break colonial yokes into smithereens such that the wealth emanating from the labour of the African masses will genuinely be for the African people alone.
