My Aspiration for Africa!

I believe in an Africa of realized potentials. An Africa where people are not forced to cut their dreams to the size of their environment. An Africa where hope is renewed and purposeful strength unleashed. An Africa where opportunities are unlocked for vast majority of Africans!

I believe in One United Africa, where our differences unify us and not divide us. An Africa where, as Africans, we realise that our common enemies have never been our diversity. For we all fight similar battles. We all have oftentimes fought or are fighting against entrenched poverty, a sometimes overwhelming hopelessness, or a paralysing uncertain feeling about the future. 

However, like all of us should, I have chosen to believe in an Africa that provides Hope for its Young, Fulfillment for its Old. An Africa that Develops its Leaders through Education, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. An Education that encourages independence of thought; an Innovative mind that imbues the creative ability to improve what one has into what one desires; an Entrepreneurial heart that instills a relentless desire to pursue a dream and see it to fruition, against all odds! 

I believe in a One United Africa. Not one where xenophobia is order of day. Not one besieged by civil wars and power struggles. Not one where hate is lingua franca and corruption is medium of exchange. I believe in a tolerant Africa that accepts its diversity as a reason for mutual respect. I believe in an Africa that respects the wishes of its old and the yearnings of its young. I believe in an Africa accountable leaders, who are not constantly referred to as rulers. I believe in an Africa where cross-border trade is the engine that delivers its growth, and the fuel that powers its development.

"I have chosen to believe in that One United Africa whose Economic Growth is both Inclusive and Local."

Africans must believe in Africa. Africans need to believe in other Africans. Africans need to realise that Africa is at the threshold of history, that Africa is indeed the next development frontier, and that it is Africa's time to catch up with the rest of the world. Today, this moment is grand for Africa's future. The rest of the world has finally taken notice, and not only that, they have oftentimes shown more courage in their willingness to bet on Africa’s future than most Africans have. This moment behoves us not to allow our past, our history - of colonialism, of apartheid, of civil wars, of tribalism, of corruption, of poverty and of inequality - to once again stop us in our tracks, from attaining the glory days that stands before us, and that we are close to beholding. I believe in an Africa for all Africans. I believe that a one united and prosperous Africa will need to be built by All Africans!

Africa yet rises…!
