Often times the challenges of Africa – poverty, disease, and environmental degradation among others – are put in sharp contrast to the inspiring potential of the next generation, our own generation. I have often time exonerated this generational bracket as my own; a generation of Cheetah. Ultimately, isn’t exactly what we need, not just in the developing world, but everywhere – a new generation of leaders of positive change, but how?
These are the vital and Challenging Questions we get every day.
President Barack Obama is an Ideal African, a workman deserving of his wages. The wages of Leadership is by an act of preparation, dedication, discipline, reflection, focus and articulate dream. President Barack Obama has broken the chain of fear, intimidation, deception, under-development, Fundamental and International Imperialism that once pervaded African Countries.
President Barack Obama gave the way towards African and African-American Youth renaissance movement - a Society housing African Youth leaders in the panacea of Africa’s true development. President Barack Obama was instrumental in underpinning ideology and creativity, filling the vacuum that was left by our alleged founding fathers. In our generation, Africa’s best become ready to take Africa’s destiny to the next level. A new dawn of great African young minds are here again.
The Youths of Africa are not ready to entertain or go into any debate or frivolities with Africa’s failed leaders, what we ask for is nothing other than the key to unlock the negativity caused by poverty, marginalization, domesticated imperialism, unrest, violence, crisis, disease, bad governance, Deaths, WAR and Post Imperialism; an instrument of the New World Order (NWO).
The Future is in our hands as youths. In order to unlock the potential of the next generation, an advocacy that provides the foundation to create positive change is needed not just for a selected few, but for the entire generation of African youths. We are guided by the belief that all African youth can, and should, benefit from experience of creating positive change, and contributing – in their own way, whether “big” or “small” – to stronger communities, all we need is to invest our greater skills and talents towards the numerous developmental goals in Africa.
Obama emergence gave way for youth’s interest in leadership; an opportunity which nature has provided for us, to choose and enact policies that affects us – the youth generation tremendously. The era of trivialities, unserious gestures, abandoned projects, and structural adjustment campaign is gone. The capacity and resources (Both human/Intellectual and capital resources) are with us.
Let us move to that edge of differences, let’s demarcate Africa’s past, present and future now. The time for grieving is past; Africa’s development is our responsibility, living it for the aged generation of leaders is a collective death-wish of our virile youth force. Let’s return to the drawing board, there are so many developmental typos we have consciously ignored; this New Africa cannot be left in the hands of puppets and stooges. We must identify and recognize youths who have made a considerable mark in the history of Africa’s development in recent time.
In order to change Africa and solve the problems of poverty, disease, and environmental degradation, we need collaborative efforts of willing youths to render their leadership and entrepreneurial skills in the immediate development of Africa.
We as African Youths have all its takes, we have the talents, we have the entrepreneurial skills, in fact we belong to the cheetah generation; as fast thinkers; reformers that has never before been seen anywhere in the world. A breed of specials; of the category of Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday, Rene Descartes, Kofi Annan, Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela.
The Youths are the instrument of change and need to decide and encourage or persuade the middle age and the elders to collaborate with us for acceptance, and for proactive peaceful change to occur.
Through Hope we can shape the destiny of Africa. The reign of Africa in world economy is now. GREAT African Youths, Stand up, Rise up, the Sun has risen.
