Why Africa is God's own continent by Nnamdi Amasiatu

Africa: In the light of GAGUT by Nnamdi Amasiatu 

Africa, my motherland and my rest

My abode of homely deeds

Carrying and harboring your children in your chest

I am still yet to know thee

Shaking off the shackles of colonial darkness

With bright stars shinning your paths

As the new world of perpetual abundance

You stunned the world with forbidden acts

The white man looked and laughed at our silly nakedness

Of bribery, corruption, war and poverty

Africa walked back to darkness

Leaving behind our dreams of human ingenuity

Come this season of world growth God again in his infinite love and care

Dropped the keys of earth

Into the armpit of Africa

Unveiling Oyibo in the discovery of GAGUT Conquering the world with divine order

Proffering solution to all world’s vicissitude

A landslide in the world and its border

Thus, GAGUT struck out from Africa

The third world of the third world

As fear grips Asia, Europe and America

For it escaped their world

And you my Africa seem lost in pretence

Submerged in the euphoria of stupidity

Living in the corners of incompetence

Denying God’s gift of human eternity

Africa, my motherland and abode

Rouse yourself and give credence to GAGUT

Believing in the efficacy of the power of God

Our last hope and trust.
