We are in a time that dogs, cats and other animals, women and girls, men of other races are being immortalized, praised, recognized, worshipped, sculptures being erected for them, nations award and reward them.

You see, the Black man rarely and scarcely gets half the recogniztion he deserves. Either his works stolen from him, or denied it even existed, either his works get looked down upon or belittled, either people intentionally don't see it or destroy it.

From his own family, his own community, country, among his own race and brothers to all other races and countries, nobody truly sees his worth. Nobody remembers his sacrifices and efforts. Nobody gives him credit.

But the real reason I write this is to ask, should the Black Man then stop the fulfilling pursuit for glory and recognition, should he just give up and relax and say "oh whatever!"? I ask?!

Well definitely not! Absolutely not!! No, no, no he shouldn't stop!! Cos that is the purpose in which he lives and that is what makes a man. Pursuits, passion, ambition, goal, hunger to succeed, aspirations to conquer and absolutely dominate.

"But then how can he do that? How can he be remembered, recognized and credited for all his efforts and sacrifices?" I hear you ask.

Well simple!

Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Paul the Apostle, Ghandi,conficius, Socrates, Aristotle, Abraham. Do you know what all these very ancient and successful men have in common? Do you know how they are still able to be remembered and talked about even today?

Discipleship, minionship, henchmen.

I don't know what you call it but all those men and more know and have mastered finding and training men like them to become like them. They go out in search of students, disciples, who are hungry and willing and they carry them under their wings, they teach and train them in their own ways and methods, they empower them. And when people see those disciples outside they even mistake them for the Masters and mentors.

Do you know that people couldn't even recognize Jesus Christ apart from his own disciples? They needed one of his own to identify him? Wonderful right?

Call the name of the most successful Black man you know today and ask yourself who are synonymous with him? Who identifies himself with him? Who are his actual disciples?

See, unlike others, the Black man would rather surround himself with much women. Women to massage his ego and satisfy his groin. But women don't make good disciples. Women easily forget good gestures, women will remember you today in her need but in her independence and in your lack you are a nobody, just an old benefactor. But really I don't know why. But I am sure the wise men of old definitely do.

What will Dangote, Adenuga, what will you be remembered for? But most especially who will even remember you? Who are the men to write your stories and legacies? How many men have you uplifted, taught and fashioned? Are they just your staff and employees or are they your disciples?

Well cos that is how to immoralize a man. That is how the Black man will get remembered through time. Through the mouths of other Black men. Through their songs to strangers and their stories to their children, about you.
