<p>As y&#8217;all will probably know, I am not necessarily a member of the Obamania club BUT that doesn&#8217;t stop his election from being a huge moment in history.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I hope it&#8217;ll mean to African people:</p>
<p>1) That people will finally recognize that we are all equal and we are all human.</p>
<p>2) Other races and nationalities will stop looking down on us.</p>
<p>3) People will expand what they think is possible.</p>
<p>4) People will go after the impossible.</p>
<p>5) If someone ever tells you something can&#8217;t be done just look em in the eye and tell em</p>
<blockquote><p>If Barrack Hussein Obama, son of a man from Kogelo, Siaya (thanks for the correction), Kenya can become the emperor of the world, then, dang, anything is possible!</p></blockquote>
<p>I understand that in many parts of the world tomorrow is a public holiday so to y&#8217;all Happy Obama Day and y&#8217;all have a magnificent evening or night.</p>
