Re: Issues of Africa Politics and governance
The African leadership is fraught with a lot of challenges because most of the leaders are lackeys and puppets meant to undertake the biding of the former colonial masters. The greatest challenge remains our blurred mindsets, inability to fashioned a contextually oriented educational paradigm, resigning our fate in dreamful ease with the false notion of an imported technological base and falling knee deep in the concept of democracy and globalization without mastering their intricacies that have proven so faulty and a complete curse to the African narrative. In simple terms, the theoretical base of our actions remains a time bomb and for there to be hope, the governing class must be swept under the rug for a rebirth of the continent. There are a handful of leaders who have stood the test of time but a vast majority must make way for our development and governance to take shape. For a start, Africa should close up its frontiers for ten years and trade within itself and re-make and decide their mode of governance and re-design its educational strand, open up all frontiers, promote a unique passport and a single currency including other reform dynamics. There are not two ways to this process if we must face the world as a determined and united bunch. In effect, the world order has completely collapse with the COVID-19 aftermath and the world would never be the same again. Now is the time to take the bulls by the horns and boot our dim-wit leaders out and identify courageous and determined youthful leaders to build this continent and take it out of the doldrums of abyss. Why do you think that Africa that is the richest continent on planet earth cannot carter for its people and keep begging cap in hands for unending loans from the global north? Have you ever reflected why a part of Africa is referred to as sub-Saharan Africa? Why that differentiation? We can do better!
