This sounds too pathetic for inteligent people in these times. The need for aid and welfare is not growing or forward thinking or is it being independent, what this ammounts to is defeatism and loss of pride.The same lake should be a source of water to continue to allow for harvest.We are living in new times hwere you can not depend on rains as the earth has een transformed from the eternal provider with rains always the soil rich with nutrients; what you need to know is that we have a poluuted driven ecology that contiues to be undermined because of the greed of those who are so called world powers. Africa has everything at its disposal to make wealthy and to never have to ask for anything. We the black people of this world was indeed given a continent that is the envy of this world. They have designed thier world to make us feel incomplete as though we need them. They thave atken our histories rewritten in and given to us foolishnesss that they want to corrupt our minds with.We are the monotheist wh created israel we spoke hebrew wrote Hebrew we are they wjho came out of Egypt as we were all the same people. The stories they try to fill opour mind with is rotten with corruptionand lies; in our early and very signfican hisroies we never new what a desrt was the contiennt was rich with running water this was the garden of Eden; look around find alternative measures, you do not have to bow to look after self. The idea that you must sibmit to thier immoral and defeatism resorting to begging does not look good for Africa and the black liberation of truth.Africa was rich with genuine infrastructure since the black man was born on the planet. Let us not feed into the propoganda about Bantu ism and sub saharan Africans. These circumstances came about in recenmt modernity the past 3- 5 thousand years this pales in refernce to the fact that we have been on the planet for millions of years and civilized. We must also know that every single nation in Africa has roots in the Israelite tradition that we know today as judaism. What I contiue to see is that the real Isdraelites have been dsmised by Europeans who have alterior motives for still kepping black people down.Tutsi people are no longer black people in white recorded history.They too have Israelite roots We contiue to see a misleading of nations in Africa especially those below the equator. These historians who are writing from racist points of view who do not know truth from fantasy, those who see history as white and everything golden is white and was taught by whites. These untruths are destroying some of our black peoples pride and knowledge of self. All afgrica was developed over hundreds of thousands of years ; many cities were swallowed up by dense junghles deserts and even swalloweed by water. One thing for sure is that we are the earliest inhabittants on the planet and we emerged from Africa. As the oldest continent on the planet we have the oldest of flowing waters we have lakes rivers that have been on this planet from time immortal. We must use these lakes benificially use them to breed life into your nations. Seek help[ in buiilding a power base where water can be used to deliver services to the nation , irrigation drinking water etc. As long as there is water you can not starve!!!!! This why the former laeder of the country was adamant that he was not going to relent nad become a slave a true victim of begging bowing and destroying the independent mind of the African. Look people we must truly look at ourselves we must truly learn to do for self. Engineers in Malawi come together and find away to develop water resource that will enable the nation to have irrigated crops when the rains fail to appear. We are lving in a new time this is a new world . The wicked has seen to it that all the things we know to be true are no longer true.They with their abuse thier misuse have left the earth in turmoil , we conitue to see contaminated sea foods as the oceans are contaminated with nuclear waste. We contiue to see drying up of fertile lands as the air is polluted with acid and all sorts of chemicals.In thier greed for resources they damage the earth and rivers with pollutants that disable farmers from earning a lving creating havoc with weather patterns, these are your realities..Today i bring to you Glad Tidings!!!! lake MALAWI is your savior it is a blessing that you must treasure" it is full of food source it is rich with antiquity ; should you use this lake to irrgate your feilds the produce will be rich with nutrients .The idea is for you to produce as much fresh foods vegetables maize wheat fuits ; seek to build mills where you can refine wheat to make flour and so on . Africa needs food always and you have fertile lands that is needed to feed the continent, this is where yoour riches lie. The infrastructure to grow enourmous ammounts of produce is there !!! have no fear this is your destiny.Feed Africa those who are without wil be glad to buy your harvest so they can eat with the nourishing supplients from the ancient lake of Malawi. THINK!!!!! YOU CAN NOT LOSE!!!!!!!!
