Good morning patriots. Here is something I want you to reflect. It seems like our artists know what they are doing and making a mockery of us. @bienaimesol sang "Tujiangalie." A whole song asking Africans to look in the mirror. To think carefully about the leaders they choose and the symbols they carry. It was sharp. It was necessary. People loved it. And then he had dinner with Macron. And now he is on stage dressed like Mobutu Sese Seko. Let that sink in slowly. Mobutu Sese Seko, the man who looted the DRC for 32 years, renamed the country Zaire, stole billions while his people starved, and did all of it with the full backing of the West, including France, wore that exact leopard skin as his signature. It was not just fashion. It was his brand. His symbol. The uniform of a man who performed African identity while selling Africa out from under his own people. And Bien, fresh from breaking bread with the French, walked on stage in the same leopard print. The French must have been very entertained. See, symbols are not just clothes. A leopard skin cap does not mean nothing. It carries history. It carries blood. It carries the memory of a man whose corruption was so spectacular that the DRC has never recovered from it and whose relationship with France was exactly the kind of relationship that "Tujiangalie" was supposed to warn us about. Doing this straight from dinning with the French and wearing like Mobutu was so cringe and insensitive. You cannot sing about self reflection on a Friday and dress like a Western-backed African dictator on a Saturday. That is not an artistic statement. That is irony walking on two legs in a very expensive outfit. We are looking, @bienaimesol . Tujiangalie, indeed. I know some will be quick with "his attire, his choice" but don't forget the symbolism in it. Dismas wa Tabu. Dreaming in installments. Billed in full.
