Good morning Africa

Its a great day today, the fact that I resume my full responsibility and allegiance to Africa.
My name you already know and can equally guess from it were i'm from, but bet me, its more complicated than you can imagine. I am an African and I have passion for the success of Africa.
There is time and season for everything under the surface of the earth said the wise king Solomon.
I'm a christian and the Bible taught me that everything happens for a reason, "all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to His purpose" Romans 8:28.
 I grew up to realise from my primary school teacher that there are six continents of the world, Antarctica I came to discover at the latter part of my academic ladder. I was eager to know why the demarcation, and the kind of people in the other part of the world. TVs and other communication channels made me understand that the other people were fair in complexion while we were dark. "Who gave out the different names to the continents", I asked curiously. 
As ages elapsed, I discovered that Africa is the poorest and the weakest of all the six continents. " heh, why Africa?" I asked bitterly. Curiosity grasped my heart, and I had to make researches, and read books to know the origin of Africa. My secondary school teachers, coupled with the books I read, gave me a hint that Africa happened to be the richest of all the continents, endowed with so many natural resources." Excuse me sir, with all due respect, are you trying to tell me we have all these and yet lacking behind?"
My teachers gave several reasons why this blessed continent was no where to be found in with regards to economic development and their like; colonial era, mismanagement, greediness, among others. They so much emphasized on the colonial era being the cause of Africa's setback. " If colonial era was the reason for our setback, how then is it that we still haven't made much progress after then. Africa is the cause of their own problem" I concluded.
Just to say good morning, will give you more details. just follow up with me on google+. I believe it's time for Africa, and that time is now.
Good morning Africa
