I don’t care what others say but please tolerate my freedom of expression to lobby for the criminalisation of most foreign-funded Non Governmental Organisations(NGOs).
I say this after noting that most of them are up to no good and survive on the ignorance of the minions who don’t understand the motive of the puppet masters who control them.
In the absence of research to understand what our country needs to develop, foreigners have cunningly filled this void to tell us how to treat women and children, how to govern ourselves and even how to defecate.
Where are our educated folks to define who we are in the so called global village where some villagers are more important than others?
The funders of NGOs are reincarnated colonial masters, the same condescending whites who condemned our way of life including our names since they christened us with unpronounceable names gotten from their ancestors and so called saints.
Here they are again pouring scorn on almost everything we believe in under the pretext of ‘caring’ for our accursed lot.
Needless to say they are all serving as tools for foreign policy interests of western governments” by sponsoring agitations against our way of life.
They are planting their seeds on fertile ground since the effects of their crusade will be felt in future when a culturally-lost generation will emerge with a caricature society pretending to be European.
The NGOs we have now are working through a network of local organisations with a myriad of names and causes you cannot keep count.
Even the term NGO is difficult to define since it is not always used consistently with some countries applying the term to an organisationwhile other countries calling them non-profit organisations and vice-versa.
Nevertheless, most NGO’s orientation refers to the type of activities which might include human rights, environmental, improving health, or development work.
Their proponent NGOs are usually an intrepid and arrogant lot who have encroached on areas where angels previously feared to tread.
Many have now introduced‘good governance’ to their catalogue coming up with an ambiguous, stupid and emotionally loaded term used to outline a theoretical and uniform platonic model which all countries should aspire to.
In countless workshops organised by the funders of NGOs, the minions grapple with endless resolutions going in circles like a headless chicken that fails to realise that it is dying.
One critic defined NGOs as “political pressure groups with a foreign relations attitude,” irrespective of their institutional structure.
Scholars have rightly observed that NGO’s can be uncoordinated, creating parallel projects among different organisations that pull health service workers away from their routine duties in order to serve the interests of the NGOs.
However, it is scholars who argue that NGOs are often imperialistic in nature that I strongly agree with since many such organisations operate in a racialised manner that has markings of colonial masters in the colonial era.
Like anthropology, many funders of NGOs use the western template for all lesser mortals to aspire to.
It goes without sayingthat many NGOs hardly ever come face to face with the people whose interests and problems they represent, or that they are not accountable to the people they represent.
One should not be fooled by the innocent term ‘non profit’ since evidence abounds on how large corporations hand out cash to NGOs since they benefit from them.
Their gain usually comes from Public Relations(PR) and marketing, tax evasion and championing political interests.
Note another destructive element of NGOs especially those dealing with cultural issues like gender equality (devoid of cultural considerations of the host countries)
For example, when these organisations promote feminism in Africa, they are not doing it to make countries like Zambia  better places but do it to promote their version of European feminism, and to realign our ideals concerning gender closer to those of Europe.
Most funders of NGOs are control freaks who enslave us for using their money, since they continue controlling our resources instead of leaving us to our independence.
Isn’t this faustian relationship scary since it entails the piper calling the tune forever?
It is no wonder China has passed new laws on foreign NGOsignoring criticism from several quarters especially western countries.
Now NGOs operating in China have to submit to police supervision and declare sources of funding.
There are currently more than 7,000 foreign NGOs operating in China.
The authorities – particularly the police, will have virtually unchecked powers to target NGOs, restrict their activities, and ultimately stifle civil society something countries like Zambia should copy from.
As independent people boasting of five decades of sovereignty, we need to do everything to change this world for the better.
The change should be hinged on cultural norms to avoid making superficial improvements that only empower the puppet masters who remote-control us from western countries.
More importantly, I think it’s unsustainable for our societies to continue being remote controlled since this will only make those who control us much stronger and powerful than ourselves.
