STAND UP AFRICA

Someone has said, and I totally agree with him, that, “you are not a failure, until you look for who to blame for it”

I believe that developing nations have no one to blame for their state of affairs. In my opinion, we are not backward because will are black; I believe we are backward because we are blind! For instance there are banks of scientific facts that point to the fact that Africa is a land of unlimited opportunities, endowed with vast natural resources.i consider it, therefore , a paradox that multitudes in this same blessed continent still live far below the poverty line.

We are backward, not because we are black,but because we have been blind. We live in a land of unlimited opportunities, yet we are too blind too see them. A blind man has no sence of valune for the treasures around him. An expatriate was once quoted as saying (referring to one of the African nations) “this nation is so rich that you can literally pick money on the streets; but the nationals are so blind they cannot see it. “

I believe it is high time we came out of our deplorable state, and positively changed our identity, by first improving our lot as individuals. It isa developed people that result in a developed nation. That is , getting to know what to do,going ahead to do it and thereby moving ahead . it is time to take our destinies in our hands, and make make the most them.

In my opinion, when you give a man purpose, he will be committed; get him committed, and he will be creative. If creative, he becomes productive; when productive, he becomes successful, he becomes impactfull!

Anyone can make most of his. You can make your life count; anyone can enhance his worth. All you need is to acquire the relevant information, coupled with the intelligible application and a sence of mission. This will result in outstanding success and impact. Zig Ziglar said,”just any dummy can succeed, if he cares to know what it takes ”

You will agree with me that cannot be a move without a mover, let us re-engineer our value systems as Africans, so as to bring about the socio-economic transformation we have long desire
