Hello Robert,
Mr. Robert no one could ever do as good in someone else’s country than they could do in their own country. When you could do better in someone else’s country then you could do in your own country, something is extremely wrong with you and your country.
This African country of Eritrea needs this family as much as the family needs their own country. Since the country back their independence back from Ethiopia that is just half the journey. The next half of the journey is for them to collectively as a people get themselves together and make the country prosperous. The best prosperity and happiness a person could find is in his own country among his own people.
I find no praises to give this family as you do, why is that?
Tell me what you think.

Even You; Got to say something good about that, Harry.
Their Clan is a distant relative of My wife and Our President Baraka Hussein Obama.

Hello Robert,
I grant you all that you have said. On the other hand, you are completely missing what I am saying.
For instance, you said that Ethiopia attacked the nation of Eritrea. However, when the German nation attacked the nation of Great Britain in World War II the British did not high tail it to some other nation. Instead, they organized themselves, fought the Germans back, and saved their nation.
But now, since the nation of Eritrea was so backwards, undeveloped that running was the people’s only sensible option, then of course run.
However, a great lesson needs to be learned from running. The people of Eritrea cannot run all their lives. They need to develop themselves into a modern day nation especially when they are a sovereign nation to begin with, do you understand my point?
No one can truly advance on someone else’s shoulder. You must support yourselves from your own shoulders.
Likewise, no people could become more knowledgeable about God through someone else’s religion. You must beseech God for your own prophet and religion. Therefore, if you have adapted the Arabian religion of Al Islam but you are not an Arab you are a spiritually lost man since you are learning of God on the shoulders of the Arabian people. What God Allah gave to the Arabian people is for the Arabian people. What God has for you will be for you. I know what I say to be true since I am your genuine prophet from God. Am I making any sense to you?
Tell me what you think.

Hello Earl,
Let me briefly say to you that there are no opportunities in the bosoms of other people when you are not one of these people. A people could momentarily give you help. However, you must get out better sooner than later and help yourself. Every people’s opportunities lay within their own bosoms.
God is just too all people despite the differences in race. We all was given a magnificent brain, which is man’s only natural resource, you use yours Earl.
Tell me what you think.

Our Leader President Baraka Hussein Obama loves to quote Abraham Lincoln.
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
