Testosterone is not a one-dimensional hormone. It is not simply a chemical drive to chase women or multiply with them. More than that, testosterone is a potent source of creative, generative energy. It is a force capable of building bridges, roads, hospitals, schools, libraries—of organizing and maintaining a dignified and powerful society.
But when that energy is misdirected—when it is channeled almost exclusively toward the pursuit of women, mistresses, and sexual conquest—it becomes corrosive. Men who live in this state become weak. Destitute. Undisciplined. Colonized—not necessarily by foreign powers anymore, but by other groups of men who have learned to channel their collective energy into the long game of civilization.
Many African men are losing this game. Seduced by the propaganda of social media and the shallow ideologies of the manosphere, they are being trained to view masculinity primarily through the lens of sexual access. They have become hyper-competitive for women, rather than for legacy. Instead of building up their societies, they are burning through their vitality in search of validation between thighs.
A new direction is needed.
The METHA—the Mis-Educated Than His Ancestors—must awaken. African men must begin forming fraternities—not of leisure, not of indulgence, but of purpose. Brotherhoods built to harness the brilliance, discipline, and raw energy necessary to build and protect their environments. To construct futures for their children, and to redeem the sacrifices of their ancestors.
Testosterone, when disciplined, is not just a weapon—it is a blueprint. It is the force behind civilization. But African men are failing to use it that way. We are falling behind. And worse, we are being led by men whose primary compass is their libido—men guided not by vision, but by lust. Fat buttocks and protruding breasts have become more commanding than strategy, more influential than vision. And we follow.
So, ask yourself:
How much vagina do you need before your grandmother has clean water?
How many mistresses before your village has electricity?
How much sexual conquest before your sisters and daughters walk on safe, paved roads?
We have lost the civilizational game because we’ve let our strongest energies be hijacked by spectacle. By ego. By appetite. And we are being led not by the best among us, but by the loudest and most indulgent. These are not men who care about restoring our lost greatness. They care only about self-gratification.
But remember this:
Our ancestors were not revered because of the size of their phalluses. They were great because they were disciplined. Because they could channel their natural energy toward building, organizing, protecting, and expanding. Because they fraternized with other men not to gossip or compete for mistresses—but to conspire for greatness.
Its only in our oneness as African men that we can reclaim ourselves
In fact, the promotion of philandering, and the popularity it has garnered in the past decade or two even in traditional society, underscores the failure of men in our part of the world to engage their energies in other fruitful activities like building up their lived environments to match or exceed other men elsewhere.
You are promoting trumutrumu.
I beg your pardon? The men in the engineering schools, the armed forces, and the men on the boards of directors of the world’s multinationals are all humping one another?
Kwame Akoto wei , so in the absence of using the natural energy to chase women left right center and tackling real problems men automatically become gay?
Not mutually exclusive. I get your drift though. Do not dispense that energy.
Someone had to say it
Have you considered looking for more wives could be one’s motivation to work harder and achieve more and the unintended consequences could be he may end up creating more jobs for people and impacting more lives and family? McDan is a polygamist and has probably created more jobs and impacted more lives those of us “shouting” testosterone this, testosterone that and taking the moral high ground oh… … Same with Kwame Despite and a number of successful (at least per our context) people we see and hear around ooo… anyway
