let my brother get it too

 ```An African man was given the opportunity to ask for

anything he wants

 

The condition was that, whatever he gets, his brother would receive double.

He thought about asking for a house; but he did not like thought of his brother having two houses.

so he thought about asking for a million dollars to go to his

bank account; but again, he was unhappy with the thought of his

brother having two million dollars in his account.

The man sat down

and thought hard, “What can I have and still be better than my brother when he has double?”

so, he thought of having one of his eyes removed so that his

brother might have his two eyes gouged.

This sounds like a very unlikely story; however, this is the typical mentality that has set Africans backward for ages and caused witchcraft to thrive in Africa.

an African wants to be better than his brother at all costs

The African man is only careful:

-to share his beer, not his books;

-to spread his diseases, and not the cure;

-to transfer his problems, and

not the solution

when an African man fails, he wishes his brother same fate so that he won't be the only one who had tasted the bitterness of failure.

An African man is happy when evil besets his brother.

When most African men succeed, they want to enslave their

brothers; they try to make the class gap between them and their brothers widen daily.

An African man wants to outperform his

brother in every area and most African men do not want to let their brothers have any chances of success because they want to be the only ones succeeding.

when an African man gets to sit on a seat of authority, he wants to

keep it to himself and refuse to give anyone else a chance to sit.

in African schools, students who can afford textbooks do not let other students borrow their textbooks because they want to stay top of the class or they don't want to give another student the opportunity to perform better than them.

when one independently discovers the way to success, an African man who refused to give directions would still do all he can to stand in the way of that success.

An African man is ready to spend money to intimidate his brother and make him look like nothing.

africa will become better; When we begin to share books to pass knowledge, not just our drinks.

When we begin to let others also lead without our influence.

When we begin to give the same quality

of food and clothing to both our children and our maids.

when we let our servants eat on the same table with us.

When the boss lets

his lower staff get paid before him.

Africa can become progressive when we begin to look out for each other rather than stand in the way of one another.

when we can sincerely say, “let my brother get it too, and if I can't get it, let me help him get it
