Elon Musk — By: Edmond Koech

Elon Musk is an American, one of his parents is in fact South African while the other is Canadian. This is how he has always identified himself. He has stated that while he was born in South Africa, he is in fact American. And necessarily so, he has invested his resources in his country - America. He does not concern himself with the affairs of South Africa. He does not inject funds for its development or more crucially. Africans insist on claiming him. We are forcing our Africa on him. Effectively, we are more invested in claiming a White man born to a Canadian mother and a South African father, who wants nothing to do with us, who doesn't identify as one of us - than we are in claiming a Black man born in Kenya, Congo, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Botswana or anywhere else in Africa, who has dedicated his entire life to our country.

My work will not be finished. When this form you've laid to rest. I'll be living in my writings. I'll be doing then my best. I'll be in the books I've written. In their words I'll live again, I'll be breathing out my passion. To help the sons of men. You will feel me though I'm hidden. I'll be speaking to your heart. Will be driving you to study. In life to do your part. To be living is my craving. To help you find life's best. When my name they have forgotten. You'll be working while I rest.

History About German Philosoper Karl Marz

Image
Forget Plato, Socrates, Democritus and a host of other ancient Greek Philosophers,the only Philosopher who has had the most enduring legacy in human history is German born Philosopher Karl Marx. His first title " The Communist Manifesto " published in 1848, shook the whole of Europe and led to Marx being exiled from German. He remained stateless till his death in 1883. His other earth shaking publication which came in three volumes is "Das Kapital". This penultimate treatise has had the greatest impact in reshaping our society. In fact, the Communist revolutions that swept through half of the world at the turn of the 20th century owes its roots to Marx ideas. Apart from Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed, Karl Marx is the only other soul who has had the greatest impact in human history. Authored by Edmond Koech
