AFRICAN INDEPENDENT NATIONS CELEBRATION REQUIRES MORE THAN CELEBRATION AND POSITIVE CRITICISM.

Despite criticism of Africa nations half a century independence celebration by many African writers, politicians and intellectuals,due to the worsening security and economies of the independent African nations attributed to the many liberation movements in the African continent that have done more harm than good to the independent African nations than the allocated partial independence of the African nations, less freedom, less prosperity and happiness enhancing conditions required of every independent nation for growth and progress, the African nations celebration of independence should entail forums with themes for discussion open for the interested and made possible for participation by either accession on the internet, or by written articles on Newspapers and magazines that have been published for both the domestic and international readers. The themes should include questions such as : How could the citizens in the African independent nations be made independent, free and educated citizens and when will the African independent nations require change of the systems of governance handed over to them by the former colonial power as amended, or the thesame types of the systems during the colonial era since alternative types of governance seemed not to have existed before the colonial power rule in any of the independent African nations societies, or communities.
The repeated request for a centralized power in the African continent by the establishment of the United State of African Independent States would only worsen things in the African independent nations since many of the liberation movements had been founded as means for power struggle and sharing, rather than the required struggle for rebuilding, progress, earned prosperity and freedom of the citizens of the independent African nations.
