Dear all

As we come to the new year just like we have done throughout generations, I have been burdened by many questions. Africa does not seem to get better. What is going on? We all know that the foundations of the convenience we enjoy today in the developed world were laid down by men who had vision and dreams of what we have now. If they had been selfish or visionless, we would not be crossing the oceans or flying the skies or even using the modern technologies.

We must keep in mind that the revolutions never happened in a day, successive generations built upon the previous with improvements each time and getting better.

It is a tragedy that in Africa, nothing is built to last. Corruption, greed and selfishness are eating away the continent inside out. There is a need for a new generation of leaders with higher value system, dreams and visions for the future of the continent and its posterity.

Africa is a continent of consumers of other’s sweat and dreams? Someone has to change the value system of the continent.

We need a clear goal, well defined and to be achieved in a time period. A deadly revolution will be inevitable in the next ten years if no progress shapes up. We can no longer watch helplessly as the worst builds up. Thousands of the new generation are, every year planning migrations into the developed west to enjoy its convenience. I am left wondering about those who could not migrate. Think about it! Kenya currently is planing to lease out to Qutar government while its citizens have no food. Is selling out our land for 50 years the best leadership they could provide? Think again about it!!

As a student of the word, I am aware that the world will not get better, however, we do not know how long we will be on this earth. We still have the responsibility of being good stewards of God’s earth, ourselves and all that it entails. God never created us to be a disgrace to the rest of the world as is currently the case. Africa must re-establish its value systems and stop being mere parasites and scum of the universe. God made us better than that.

Happy and hopeful prosperous New 2009 and wish you all success in initiating a revolution in the society.
God bless all
