This work captures the lethargic inertness of post-colonial Africa by implicating the disillusionment of the post-colonial African dream for the African crisis. It argues that the quest for political liberation in Africa which translated into nationalist movements incited in the people the hope for a new era of basic rights and freedom that will come only with political liberation in a post-colonial Africa. On the contrary, the realisation of political freedom in Africa did not yield the expected results. The paper argues that the situation has immersed Africa and the Africans in a disillusionment which has occasioned Afro-pessimism with a worsened political dependence of Africa on her erstwhile colonial masters. In consideration of this situation, the paper adopts philosophical analysis to expose the fact that the concept of freedom sought by the nationalists was too narrow for while African dependence on the colonial powers was political, economic, social, religious, cultural, moral, and otherwise, the independence emphasised and pursued by the African nationalists was mere political liberation. The paper makes a proposal for the role of the ‘indigenous’ in the re-making of Africa by arguing that the inherited colonial arrangement cannot solve the African problem rather the African state and its system must be founded on an African platform, that is, on African culture and context in order to achieve the independence ideas.
