What is SO bad in Africa that some Africans will rather live in semi-slavery, unwanted, despised and rejected in another man’s country Only tolerated because of the profit you’ll make your boss???

Perhaps you can shed more light on this.(Leave a comment)

The reason why I love the prodigal son story is that, when things got bad HE DID NOT STAY IN THE RUT, he believed that he’d get better treatment in his own home and country and at least some proper food and dignity. And what did he do? He humbled himself and went home.

If you’re reading this and perhaps suffering abroad (may be not to this extent), perhaps it’s time to start thinking about home….
