ARISE AFRICA!!!

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven", wise king Solomon said. I have a believe that time and space plays the very most significant role in the history of humanity. Likewise, time and space have deeper and hidden influence to every occurrence that happens under the surface of the earth. Everything happens according to how it has been programmed. In other words, if  Peter becomes rich tomorrow, it is because the time for Peter to become rich is tomorrow.

Quite unfortunately, despite the fact that time and space are designed to bring forth occurrences, it is never automatic. The person or group in question must need work it out. This is to say that, Peter though destined to be rich tomorrow may miss it out if he has his two hands in between his thighs when he should be working on becoming rich. The greatest tragedy of a society longing for success is to see a talent die unutilised or untapped (John Okorie).

May I just swerve in this.. A very good friend of mine by name David Sannor died on the 11th of August 2014, and I received the news the next day while I was at the GSA summit. When I received the message, I had a serious shock as goose bumps swiftly covered my skin. I could not believe my eyes, as tears flowed down my cheek. I felt a deeper pain towards evening, not purposely because he was dead but because he was a young growing star full of talents and gigantic vision. I taught he was the type of people Africa needed.

Ok that's by the way! What exactly am I trying to put across. I see so many talents and great men and women of positive revolutionary and generational change agents in Africa and you are the first on the list. Many has come and are gone without fulfilling one-tenth of their purpose of existence. Invariably, we tend to lose timbers and calibers who has not gone any long way to maximising their potentials

I keep asking myself what exactly is the reason behind Africa's setback. Whoops! I'm becoming emotionally attached to my write-up. Africa has gotten a very appalling stigma. A very dirty identity of poverty, wretchedness, wide outspread of diseases, hunger, famine, just to mention but a few.
The name Africa sends a signal of low standard of living, mentally derailed set of people, low thinking capability and a whole lot. Africa has become a second class of human being. I feel so much pain in my heart for Africa. How long shall we fold our hands and allow things go wrong. Never in my life have I been a failure. I get it in that I am among the so called second class set of human being. I must make a positive change in my generation. We have to unanimously work relentlessly to see a fulfilled generation for Africa

I don't only believe the time for Africa is now, I am very certain about. Would you also walk by the journey of life without living any tremendous mark behind as your predecessors did. Heh come on, rise up now and do something! The value of a man is not measured by how much he has, but how much he can give. Africa has everything it takes to be the greatest continent. Remember that though the time for Africa has come according to predestinated plans of God, the ball still lies in our court as to whether allow it happen or to let it slip off our hands.

It's high time we sat up and do the incredible. The world is looking up to us. As a matter of fact, other continents have it sensed in their marrows that the time for Africa has come.
May I say this, though I don't the number of people that will agree with me. According to the time and space of life, IN NO DISTANT TIME AFRICA IS WILL RISE ABOVE HER CONTEMPORARIES. But once more, this will keep delaying if we do not hold the bull by the horn and make the change we need now. IT'S TIME AFRICA!!
