The African Youth: Usual thinking

The thought and urge for change in Africa is eminent now. The avidity to see societal development and sustenance, governmental rule which is truly centred on the people, and most importantly character modification and transparency from leaders to servants is sincerely imbedded in the hearts of the Africans. There is a hunger within the African to be noticed and acknowledged for his talents, culture, language, wisdom and understanding without being tampered with by any other. However, he or she is willing to know more and embrace truth, interpret failures, address wrong, be brave to instill right to consequently conserve victory.
 

God has placed in each a unique dwelling, ability and intellect within which he or she in accord with His Spirit can humbly express, and we all marvel because it’s ‘God-given’. From the self-taught 15-year-old inventor from Sierra Leone, Kelvin Doe and William Kamkwamba, a 26-year-old Malawian inventor and author to great up and coming, and young footballers, athletes, doctors, teachers and leaders, Africa is expressing the a generational shift.

This is the previous youthful thinking we had some decades back but along the way we chose not to retain in our knowledge. The thought and act to see that which we perceived and dreamt, fully based upon our faith and depending solely upon the precepts, wisdom and guidance of God. To create that well sustained environment for each African to first see his or her neighbour as human and living and is willing to bring about mutual coherence. And not to be unwillingly or falsely influenced by any other and to be rid of from what so inheritance we gained but to learn from others and to work well with our hands.

This was and is still the African youth. The fresh mind, stable and firm with all judgments; the willing heart, desiring good and is truthful at all times and the diligent hands, holding on to see things materialize.

KEEP CALM,

Change is come.
