MORTGAGING AFRICA, DESTROYING THE CHANCES OF THE

                                             NEXT GENERATION

Nelson  Mandela was not buying or selling anything neither did he build great companies that are bringing in so much money today, but with a life well lived, he single handed made Africa into a global monumental wonder. When sound values is constantly been squandered on the alter of what to eat, then there is practically no hope for a nation. Africans have reduced Africa to a continent that has no regard for human institutions. From health to security, to power and to everything, Africa is a capital by-word. We have all sold Africa away. But nemesis is usually a very fair judge. Today, the world has no regards for Africans, because when you consciously damage the institutions in Africa, you puncture the balloon of your status. You can not escape the very demeaning tag of been an African. If you like, run to America and nationalise, the blood you carry remains African. Since we have all collectively messed up the African continent, if ever the next generation will stand a good chance among the committee of thriving nations, we must do the following:

1. We must live in honour: Let every African decide today that no more will they find our hands in events that will consolidate the negative picture the world already have about us. Let us be good specimen and representatives of the African continent. We must practically resist anyone that would want to bring the continent into disrepute in any way.

2. We must demonstrate high level patriotism: Let  every African demonstrate a very high level patriotism at every level. Show your very high level love for Africa, talk about it, demonstrate it, sing about it, anything you can do to let the world know your love for Africa is true

3. We must take responsibility: When we keep looking for who to blame, we will continuously limit how far we can go. The Europeans have left us long time ago. We  need to move on. We know that the military raped us but they have since moved back to the barracks. Let us keep closed every chapter that has since been closed. There is great work to be done.

4. We must patiently unleash our creative and innovative geniuses: Great thinkers will always be at the vanguard of national and even global development. You must believe in our creativity and innovativeness. We have what it takes to advance the course of our continent. Let us not live things to chance.
                 
        With every one doing his own part, I guarantee you that Africa will become a very great continent again.
