Don't let them steal what is yours

So I was thinking about Africa this morning, then I remembered something quite profound, something that used to happen while I was in primary school. We had this notorious set of boys that during break time, when the rest are eating and they are interested in your food, what they do is that they ask you simply, and if you refuse to give them your food, then they spit inside your food. And oftentimes when they do that, You end up dropping the food and guess what they do? They will sit with it and pounce on it. I remember that in respect to my country and particularly Africa. I think one of the reasons why we are losing our sense of identity and sense of patriotism is because for some reasons we have allowed the desecration of bad leaders. To affect the way we embrace what is ours. There is a very big tendency to not be interested in your identity as a citizen of a country because bad politicians spat in what is yours. There used to be other guys who, what they did simply was that They just remove the stuff and continue their food. We consider them dirty, but now I'm thinking again, maybe they refuse to be engineered. Just thinking.
