Many people have
made it to the top because they are second head fakes. When one is at the top
it is difficult to determine whether this one has got the credibility and
capacity until a fat lady (corruption) sings. Franz Fanon once warned the
Africans about the hidden and dangerous agenda carried by the national
bourgeoisies. This article is not intended to give a length prose on who are
the second head fakes, but a scant idea about who made it to the top without
sweat and blood and what they are doping now that they have reached the stars.
This reminds me
of an African folklore. There was a meeting where the different types of birds
sat and bragged about each other’s ability to fly high into the sky. There was
a competition of who is king. They sat a race, which would determine the king.
The rules were simple, “the one who soared the highest was to be crowned the
king. There was this small bird, which always hides itself on the ground and
does not have the power to fly long distance.
Much to the
surprise of others birds, he said “I will be the ‘King of Ravens’ today”. No bird could believe him. He was into this
race knowing that he had something mischievous rolled up in his sleeves. About
300 metres into the sky he land on the shoulders of the giant eagle. The eagle soared into the depth of the skies.
Somewhere at the top when everyone had reached their best the eagle was alone
high up there. The eagle shouted, “I am King of Ravens”. Everybody was
convinced really the eagle is big and powerful and deserves to be the king.
The sleazy and
slick bird shouted on top of the king, “Because I am tiny and had gone far
ahead no one has seen me. I am King of Ravens.” The eagle was both angry and
surprised. He tried but the small bird went further for 300 metres above the
eagle’s reach. The morale of the story is that do not look further than your
television screens to see who is the sly raven who corrupted the people to the
top. Look at what happens when these second head fakes do to their
constituencies who voted them into power.
