Jude S. Ngu'Ewodo's Climate Crisis Unmasked Blog

Over 30 African nations are net importers of oil—many with weak currencies, fragile economies, and vast untapped renewable resources. This dependency drains national budgets, inflates trade deficits, and exposes entire populations to global price shocks. The path forward? Not just “clean energy” for climate’s sake, but a resilient, economically sound transition to energy independence. Current Problem: Oil-importing African countries are spending hundreds of millions annually just to keep diesel generators humming and fuel flowing. Chart 1: Annual Oil Import Spending (Selected African Countries) Strategic Shift: Invest in Clean Energy Sovereignty By leveraging solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal, countries can: Slash oil import costs by 40–70% within a decade Stabilize energy prices Increase energy access Create 2–3x more jobs than fossil fuel systems Chart 2: Estimated Annual Savings from Clean Energy Transition Strategic Recommendations: Redirect Fuel Subsidies toward clean infrastruct...

I penned this in response to all who applaud the wars unfolding before us. - Then run your war. But understand this—truly understand it, or you will be taught it the hard way: In the world we inhabit now, you cannot bomb your way to obedience. You cannot drone diplomacy.  You cannot sanction your way into respect. Power has changed shape—it no longer bends only to force; it negotiates, it calibrates, it trades in trust. You want influence? Then you must build consensus. You want allies? Then treat them like more than satellites. President Obama, for all his flaws, understood this new geometry of power.

" The book is available at Amazon and Apple and others   - I wish the leaders of Europe had the chance to meet my grandmother. And if they did, they wouldn’t have listened anyway. She passed away more than five decades ago, at the blessed age of 102. She never went to school. Never read a book. Didn’t know what the Internet was. But she was wise in a way that outlasts software updates and outsmarts ten thousand policy memos. One of her golden rules was simple: “Never eat other people’s food.” By that, she didn’t mean skip the potluck. She meant something deeper. If someone else grows it, cooks it, plates it, and lets you eat it for free—you don’t own it. You’re not just a guest. You’re dependent. That’s the story of Europe and its digital infrastructure. It’s a curious thing—how a continent that once ruled the world with ships and stee...
