Once upon a time, there
was a country, nameless and void of development, built on the heritage of its
people but left in the hands of explorers to do as they pleased. Over time, it
became "eye candy", inviting to the 'colonial masters', who gifted her slavery in the form of 'development'. Amazed by this gift, she took it, and believed in it, until
it dawned on her that she‘s worth far more than the value they had offered.
Now, in this day and time, there is a
country, broken free from colonial shackles - but bound by the slavery she bought herself, many years ago.
