i dont know why,but everytime i listen to you prof,i just feel the urge to do something productive to my motherland.The younger generation in africa Must wake up, we need to shift from just talk to action.we must start with one language that will ease the way of trading with each other.if it is zulu or kiswahili so that if an eastafrican goes to do business in west africa there will be no language barrier.WE can make our leaders to wake up.in the meantime,r.i.p general Muammar Gadafi,you meant well for africa.
South Africa Loves you...Prof...you have inspired me a lot...after Memorial lecture of Onkgopotse Tiro...May our God lord be with you and ur country as well..
prof is an African light,he is always spot on when addressing issues of corruption,,,,its a wake up call for fellow africans ,lets fight this thieves out.
Prof. Lumumba is my mostly listened public speaker and the most inspired leader of this continent called Africa. Since his anti corruption speech, I have grown likeness for him and always listen to his speeches as very educative. Prof. you always inspired me anytime I listen your public speeches. You're one of my African heroes. Dwight from Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Thank God for this man. Listen and obey! Stop the greed and the crimes. Love and RESPECT are the only things, that can lift us. I give to non beggars and not fake pastors.
Come together African people. Stop following blindly . Come together. The Whites were ALWAYS fighting each other un till they recovered Black People. For centuries they have misused you. Follow their example and come together.
Professor P.L.O. Lumumba ..... You are my eye opener and I wish to be like you. You are there to unite Africa and you are the light of the world. Never give up. Thank you very much.
Prof. Lumumba is one of his kind on the African soil. His inspiring and eloquent presentation of Africa is great and very inspiring. I do agree with professor that Africa is the cause of the African problems. I still believe that Africa is not yet close to solving her problems, not in the 21st Century. A German philosopher by the name Hegel once said that history repeats itself and despite all the struggle for independence from colonists were are now back to another difficult episode for the continent. Prof. should guide us to how we can develop new crop of leaders. Where is the problem?
Paul, Listening to your interview saddens my heart more about the future of Ghana and perhaps Africa. We have such a brain in front of you and all you do is ask about past and history? We need questions that point to concrete ideas about building the new Africa. The hour is wasted talking of history and past that we already know. What critical ideas did you elicit from this great mind?
The only way to understand the present, is to look into the past. I think it is a very insightful interview. History, accurate history is the only best kickstarter to a better tomorrow. It allows one to understand why the present is the way it is.
Professor PLO, you have delivered the message on corruption in Afrika. How can the thieves arrested? It should start with the President of the country, then the ministers, and others to follow. Like South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, DR Congo, Burundi etc. Otherwise corruption will continue to reign in Afrika.
We believe in Africa. Africa is a great place that is yet to be fully and truly uncovered for greatness. Africa must benefit well enough from her land before anyone else. #YouMustListenToThis #UncoverAfricaForGreatness #TheRiseOfTheBlackman #TheRiseOfAfrica #TheRiseOfMankind
...Don't forget South Sudan. When Riek Machar was fired from vice-president position, he collected his army, formed a rebellion and killed the Dinka Bor people. The Dinka then retaliated and things became ugly across South Sudan. In fact, that was the second time Riek Machar has done that. John Garang was alive during the first rebellion in 1991. My father was among Riek's victims in 1991. So, African democracy isn't really a democracy for some African nations. I'm proud of those African nations that are trying to educate their young generations so that we may weed out corruption in Africa. This is an insightful interview. Well done!
Actually through you am inspired in a way that no one has ever done. Even though prophets have no respect from their motherland,l still recognize you as a hero of Kenya. May you live long for Africa to prosper
Appreciating the vision of Prof. Lumumba I would really question the African renaissance and how long Africa still needs to wait to get the right leadership. Prof. Lumumba once attempted to get into the Kenyan politics but he was disappointed by the system that does not tolerate such brains. Africa is not yet fully liberated from the world powers and we must still consider Africa as culturally colonized. Leaders are also products of a none developing culture. Our problem first is that we hate our own cultural identity and the Professor is one of those who perpetuate what was once a Western interpretation of the African failure. He is not speaking to the Africans but to the Westerns.
Ndugu Lumumba, kidogo kidogo hujaza kibaba(Kiswahili proverb). Ndugu, every little positive word or sentence you say or write will always have an impact. You have inspired me to speak up about what I feel is wright or wrong. However, I tend to speak about what is right rather than speaking about what is wrong. Why? Because I think we, humans are stupid by nature but what balances Humanity is the degree of stupidity...in other words...Good always cancell out the evil. There are always agents of evil working each and every day trying to destroy the Agents of Good, Possitivity, Peace, Love, Unity, and Human Development. All that is visible online...on tweeter, facebook, youtube and more. Ndugu Lumumba, please, prepare our young generation for the "unkowned worlds" out there. I will do my part here in Canada. I'm a South Sudanese-Canadian from the Lost Boys of Sudan. I know, humans are kind by nature but some are more kinder. Education is knowledge, "that used to be the motto of Moi University, Eldoret" when I was in grade 3 in 1993. Walimu wetu walitufunza lugha ya Kiswahili kabisa, lakini mimi nilikua mkimbizi kutoka Sudan. Kiswahili was a foreign language to us Refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp by then. We just came in April of 1992 and knew nothing the language and culture. The only culture we.knew was ours, the Dinka Bor Culture. Other Sudanese had their cultures. At first, there was lots of peace but as we interacted with other cultures, conflicts began to arise. My Thesis that got me the scholarship to study in Canada was entitled "Conflicts in Kakuma Refugee Camp: Causes and Recommendations". I did an extensive interviews with community leaders. I even did an interview with one of the local tribeman, the Turkana. He used to call me Garang even though he knew my name but I started to like the name Garang because John Garang was my tribesman. In a nutshell, our humanity supersedes our tribal egos. We Africans MUST learn from the past in order to build a better future for our children.
buenas noches to my african brother and sister prof. plo lumumba speech is a music to the ears of his people the sound of the drums calling home his brothers and sisters come home with your skills and knowledge you acquired in the western world to help conquer the impossible eradicating hunger and help africa to feed house and cloth it self and stop buying second hand use cloth as prof plo lumumba ask what development plan is best for africa and its people let the new road map roll out 2063 gracias gracias adios.
Shida ya Kenya si raia wake ni viongozi wake. There are some intricate cartels in the Kenyan government that would not let him do anything substantive within the borders (other than giving lectures). He was once appointed to head the Kenya anti-corruption commission, but that glorious tenure was shortlived. He started probing deep into the state and realized his employer was calpable. The commission was degazetted and rebranded into Ethics and anti-corruption commission, the effect of which all it's independent commissioners lost their jobs. Very convenient if you ask me. Tuiombee Kenya watu wake waamke wajipiganie.
Feel-good effect, I am free from this syndrome. I vote based on ideology and my own analysis of whether or not a particular political party carries the nation's soul and willing to deliver a national agenda which impacts significantly the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian in all facets of life.
Since Kwame Nkrumah departure,now Africa has new Nkrumah descendants...Hon.Dr.Magufuli is my Best leader in Africa,Anti corrupt laeder,now hundreds of big-fisheries are Suffocating,i love my President.
Just here for the comments. On my behalf and that of other members of the Comments Reading Association of Kenya (CRAK), we appreciate your typing effort. Please keep your comments short and straight to the point, and kindly mind your spellings and grammar. Thank you and have a great day!
✌Professor Lumumba listening to you is so beautiful and yet painful at the same time! Beautiful because you are a true Son of the Soil who is not afraid to speak the truth. Painful in the sense that most of our African leaders have betrayed their people by not being responsive to their needs. The average citizen in Africa is not enjoying his life post independence because of greediness by the leaders. Oh God help!
Around the 34 - 35 minute mark, the host makes an error with the Liberian presidential term. It is two 6-year terms; not the first 6 and the second 4 as he said..
PLEASE MR INTERVIEWER, ALLOW THE GODS TO SPEAK TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE AND STOP THAT UNWARRANTED INTERJECTIONS. ASK QUESTIONS OF THE FUTURE AND DON'T RUSH TO CUT THE FLOW OF THOUGHT OF A GUEST LIKE PPL
