________________________________

Mams, I presume this is a
joke. In the event it is not a joke, it reveals one or two reasons
why you are proud to be black. I ang proud to be black but not for
these reasons. I will explain further. You shared that Black Africans are
always being framed to be either corrupt or dictator-like. Right off the bat, I
have never been framed as either of these. That is because no one can frame
Haruna as anything. Haruna controls his own frame. Secondly, did you mean that
blacks other than African blacks are not generally framed as either of these
two images? I am reminded there are other blacks who are not African. Or did
you mean this in generic parlance....That all black folk are African? Forget my
pursuit of your vote at this juncture until we clarify what seems to be
troubling you. Can anyone frame you as something or other Mams? Have you or
someone you know, been framed as corrupt and or dictator-like before?
 
Haruna cannot control his own frame because Haruna is
a human-being not an island. What Haruna can do is to ignore or fence his
surroundings and in doing that, Haruna will do away communicating with others.
Black is Africa’s household name aren’t you aware of that??? well I guess you
are well aware of that fact hence you have said it above. I have just framed
you as dictators aren’t you aware of that too or ignoring it??
 
[Thus corruption is a
phenomena in human nature all over the world Even SUOMI/Finland (thus we are
out of this world “can you believe that”?) Then again too much of everything
can make one stagnant to that affection henceforth became subjected to it.]
Mams.
 
I did not understand the
whole statement Mams. What I do understand, I agree with you on. That
corruption, like all other human failings is indeed a human phenomenon,
Suomi's geography notwithstanding. I encourage you to train non-corruptly.
Financial or moral.
 
Read the whole statement once more and you will
understand my logic here. I wrote the whole world in the statement then again
said (even Suomi) like Suomi is not part of the whole. You get where I am
coming from now. Guess this is what they said about illiterates like myself I
know I needed to go back to school to improve my communication skills. 
 
 
 
[You will have to crack your
head communicating with me hence I am a primary school dropout and your hate
such people that are less educated in English than yourself as fools.] Mams.
 
You are grossly mistaken
here Mams. I do not hate primary school dropouts nor do I hate people who
are less educated in English than myself. And I do not call either Fools.
ENglish is a language used to express oneself. There are millions of ways in
which one can express him/herself. The ultimate goal of expression is to be understood
and heard by an audience.
 
Sorry I came so strong on that one it was just my
opinion. Then again, the word HATE is so strong to use in the situation because
you will hardly communicate with those you hate. We respond to each other
because we want to enlighten the other but not hatred as myself and others
might put it. Damn I don’t care if Haruna forgive me or not besides I did not
hurt or did I??  
 
 [So please be
reasonable with me.] Mams.
 
You got it Mams. I am
reasonable with you. Always have been.
 
Thanks for being reasonable and gentle to my broken
English Haruna
 
[Talking of worrying Haruna,
you are the one lambasting in that circle of worrisome as I told you months
ago, the fact that an individual should not expect a society to bend down for
him but reciprocal.] Mams.
 
I do not expect, nor do I
desire for any society to bend down for me. AND, I do not bend down for anyone
or society. No society has requested I bend down for it. WHen the time comes
that a particular society wishes I bend down for it, I would
suppose the society will have a good reason to see my rear-end. Hell, I
have never even mooned anyone in my college fraternity. I wanted to so badly,
but sobriety dictated otherwise. So you worry yourself about me for nought
Mams.
You have said it all; how can a society asked you to
bend down after noticing your inflexibility to that regards??? What worry’s me
is the fact that you are disrespecting yourself by engaging on endless and unnecessary
arguments and insults. It doesn’t matter how light or ineffective words might
be to you it can be insult to others especially using them in a forum like this
to describing others you disagreed with. Words like your favorite Idiot,
Selfish, silly etc. These are some of the words that human-being cannot be
without due to our imperfectness then again using them to describe others
attitudes you misunderstood or does not comprehend could be counterproductive.    
 
[Of course I cannot read
your dichotomies but I can get to your demeanors in writing which have less
infect to my understanding and eventually acceptance of you henceforth, loving
you as you are.] Mams.
 
Eh, come again. I thought
you loved me unconditionally, dichotomies and trichotomies notwithstanding.
Maybe I don't understand what you're trying to say. And I have a piece of
advice for you going forward; When you declare that you love someone
unconditionally, do not worry about whether their demeanor, writing, or
chotomies, affect you one way or the other. That will have been their
conditions which find no place in your unconditional love. So if you keep
mentioning the conditions, it makes your declaration of unconditional love
sound empty.
 
Eh Haruna, So loving you unconditionally means I
should not complain on your demeanors?? However, Saying I cannot classify you
as a positive or negative person but human like myself thus I can understand
your behavior should not be taken as an insult or badly intended as it seems in
your response. That is why they said, if you want to know yourself better,
never asked your close relatives because they will never tell you the truth due
to preventing conflicts to materialize in within. 
 
If one love the other unconditionally, should
therefore, desist from telling them your point of views??? That is not
unconditional love per se because if I desist from telling you my view point,
you are then conditioning me to love you even when you an endangering myself. Unconditional
love means loyalty honesty and dedication to each other and these will never materialized
without exchanging points of views or opinions. It not love anymore if one
cannot honest to a friend. The only friend is the one who will sometime fight
with you in honesty not the one who will always tell you what you like to hear.
Love you Haruna but don’t get funny here I am still a hetero chaw brother. Edi
