The Leaders Who Ruined Africa and the Generation Who Can Heal the Wounds ( a Play)

SYNOPSIS

Emmanuel, a traditional healer and the King of Africa, lives in the evil forest in northern Nigeria with his kinsmen since 1807. Two-hundred-ten years earlier, his mother, Folonko, the goddess of Africa, known as Mama Africa, and Alex, their herald, a Whiteman captured and charmed to live in Africa forever, formed a strong army to revenge the unforgettable pains of slavery. Having lost power during the ensuing battle for colonial domination in Africa through our colonial masters, Emmanuel the great, has sought to make sure that every person born in Africa, and will one day be a leader in any of the fifty-four countries, must pass through his mother and be formally initiated and given a traditional wife to marry.

 Mama Africa (Folonko), who must determined their rule and has the stick of insignia and the divine power to chose leaders who must themselves rule Africa, in all the fifty-four states on the Continent, she hated all the flags chosen for each country in Africa and every national anthem composed for us— she likes playing the Kora, as a symbol of historic reflection to the birth of our culture and civilization. She honors our true warriors and hunters , has a strong respect for our great writers and scholars, and above all praises our chiefs and local courts for being African and nothing but African.

  After the Anglo-French Rivalry, as slave labor was not a key component of Britain’s economy unlike USA, most English countries passed legislation to abolish slavery. However, Great Britain also banned the African slave trade in 1807, but the trade of African slaves to Brazil and Cuba continued until the 1860s. In this drama of post-colonial civilization and emancipation of Africans, the goddess of Africa was captured by an American goddess, named Shasha, who was sent by the great gods in Egypt to introduce a new science that will replace human slavery into mental slavery— to source the rivulets of world economic powers. By 1865, some 12 million Africans had been shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, and more than one million of these individuals had died from mistreatment during the voyage. While Mama Africa fought a painful battle to stop the ship that came transporting these slaves; she lost her powers, and was captured and enslaved in a cave in Egypt.  Emmanuel and his kinsmen had made sure that his mother is freed- and Africa returns to normalcy. Justice prevails in the end as the child of United States of Africa was born; who led an abolition of mental slavery under his governance- and united the Continent under one currency, with its capital in Madagascar.
