Who is an African Black Child: The Secrets Behind Successful Black Children That Change The World

Being an African-Black kid can be daunting at times. It means different things to many children. You can call it "the survival gene of the proactive rare natives not discovered"...Yes!

Ok, let's go...ooo!

To someone in America and Europe, it means racism, being self-aware, being coloured, being different, having a history of slavery, and the mindset to fight and be seen as a normal human who has an equal right to survive and live. Who has the right to seek independence (freedom) and is seen as that too and more...

To an African child in his home, right in his mother's land, it means to change the narrative, a hope for the future, the son of the soil, the blessings of the gods. Who has been blessed above, and also more, a fertile womb and sperm meeting together proving something more than the ordinary and more....

A native African-Black Child sees the world differently. Sometimes, based on his environment, his family, his family class, his place of birth, the people's beliefs and ideology, how successful people are, how they see life, the success rate, and the government and everyday news help shape who they can be tomorrow. Not only that many a time the way people see the blackness of the skin when compared to others, makes him feel and become aware of the true real world he had come to see making him forget his identity, dignity, and the special life he has. The life he wishes to bring out from him/ her and has to offer without him knowing.

It takes great learning, self-awareness, and self-study for an African-Black Child to believe his dream would one day, someday come to reality without even him realizing how close the opportunity knocks at his door before he asked. Why? What he had come to believe from everyone: Bad government, fake leaders, hardships, poverty, self-doubting parents who had once failed and been hindered by life and challenged by notorious self-care laws from very-good-bad leaders, who see life as 'you only live once'.

Breaking free from so many things and seeing an African-Black Child become successful takes a lot of risks and courage especially from "them" who had no supporters but only believed things can be better for the best someday. It is a fact!

African native black children struggle from an earlier age even before they were born or before they become aware of it and could remember, plus accepting it as fate. They work hard many times than their counterparts on other continents and many a time works extraordinarily with self-doubt. Many of them kept trying and still are trying until now, lost hope until a crack of success shine through, in an unbelievable time they shuddered shoulders thinking "Who cares now?".

Some began to see struggles as part of living, to have shelter, food, guardian,...and even a hope of life. Right from the day they were given birth to the day they died. Still thinking how the world never cared, this world that thought of self-love but practice it only for themselves.

Some who once believed, died and killed other people's hope but were still like no other, some came out like an oasis in the desert. Living and impacting everyone including you reading this.

The African-Black Child's life is an interesting one. This can be seen when the child goes through school, through hardships, walking miles to school to learn, studying at night with candles, if theirs one, or studying with firewood smoke that blackened their nose before daybreak, suffering to learn with hundreds of the same class students filled with heats and sweating at the same time learning how to read and write: learn maths, English, French, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Kalabari, Isoko, etc and also study very hard to get into a competitive local universe, with throat cutting marks and end up being frustrated at times and eventually gaining admissions into college/University. Not forgetting that sometimes the university chooses and gives you a different course of study different from what you choose. Life is hard...yes...the African-Black Child needs applause for this! All to achieve a beautiful dream and become great too.

After graduation the African native black child ends up looking for jobs or try had to establish himself, in a good business, or looking for an alternative to study more adding more degrees or going out from his hometown to the city, or traveling abroad to seek greener pastures. This can lead to a loss of hope but yet the African-Black Child still comes out great like never before and become better after so many trials.

Many times when abroad he sees life differently and becomes surprised by what others see as pain as opportunity, what others see as loss as hope, what others see as bad government/leaders as the one that may be fit for it...and many more. This makes others see him as different and wonders how he thrives in a world they see as hostile. He sees it as a walking step to greatness and becoming what he should be.

How? The gene of never giving up on his mother's and father's land makes him stake his life on the edge of the knife even if it means death, "I'm not giving up this time", he says Silently.

The African Black Child is like Mondays and Sundays and sometimes seen as Saturdays that stick like Orion constellations.

Their stories may not interest you but believe this they are worth studying to really know the little secrets of how they become successful. They may not be deified like the notable gods of the Greeks or the gods of my Kalabari tribes but see them as special because they have gone through a lot to be there. The commitment, patience, time, and loneliness of waiting for their time make them a case study to believe in and study. How they have come to know and learn what it means "to know the right time".

No matter who you are, believe this, African Black Children have untold stories you have never heard...like the forming stars in the universe....not discovered that needs to be carefully studied with a carefully sophisticated telescope orbiting in the solar system.

Thank you!
