Yes Together We Can Make Africa Better:
Welcome!
Friends and love ones to this simple site of mine. You can also share your ideas and comments with me. It is about Believing in us as African. One question that keeps popping up in our everyday life is can’t we make it as Africans? I believe in Africa and I know you do. Friends what makes us think that we cannot make Africa a better place for all. Friends in accomplishing great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only dream but also believe. Where ever we are in Africa, I challenge you all that if we make up our minds to be Trustworthy, Accountable, Capable, Reliable, Democratic and Generational Thinkers together we too can make it happen as Africans. Do you remember ……?
In the summer warmth of August 28, 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D. C., the impassioned voice of a young activist was heard – “…We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality… We can never be satisfied as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: ‘For Whites Only’…
I have a dream… I have a dream that one day, on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaves owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood… I have a dream today!”
It was Martin Luther King Jnr, speaking out against black segregation, suppression and oppression. Beyond the hearing reach of this cry for emancipation, in far away Hawaii, an innocent two-year old boy played with his mom, completely unaware of the cords of destiny that tied the words of Martin Luther to this boy’s own future.
The boy, whose father was a Kenyan immigrant to the United States, would 45 years later, deliver an eye-watering speech in Chicago, a speech which would mark a watershed in the presidency of the United States.
History tells us with unprecedented records of many leaders and experts who were convinced that the ideas, plans and projects of other could never be achieved because they lacked the potential and the talent.
Indeed everyone has potential and talent and this is the assumption or premise from which every leader must operate. We all have the potential and the talents, and even our countries or small communities which appear to in poverty and disease driven have the potential and talent. What is lacking is the ability to identify, ignite the potential and make use of the talents.
If we are determined to successes as Africans we should never look down on ourselves and under-estimate our capabilities. We should hold on fast to our dreams and we would one day be surprised at the marvelous strides we might make, because we refused to spite ourselves or yield to other words of discouragement. The same may drive our businesses too. I know with this together we can make Africa a better place for us all.
