RE: What would you do if you could quit?
wow...great post. Thanks for pouring your heart out and sharing your aspirations with us.
I feel the exact same way. There needs to be more accountability in Africa and more transparency.
But it starts with the youth...they are the future. We need to set better examples for them to follow and inspire them to think out of the box and be creative in coming up with solutions to improve their nations. I applaud all those millionaires in Africa like Tonye Rex Idaminabo who encourage entrepreneurship in Africa.
It is unfortunate that the current generation of most African leaders are corrupt and blinded to the suffering of the people.
Africa has the youngest population in the world! can you believe that?
According to the United Nations Development Program,by 2055, the continent’s youth population (aged 15-24), is expected to be more than double the 2015 total of 226 million. Yet the continent remains stubbornly inhospitable – politically, economically, and socially – to young people.
The most important factor determining whether Africa prospers or suffers in the coming decades will be the ability of the governments to address the needs of their vibrant youth population.
Thanks for sharing your input, i did read similar statistics on @markkujantunen’s post some time ago.
I have to say I have lost faith in our government . I think we are approaching a new era. We need to take matters into our hands and create the lives we want. I am hopeful that platforms like steemit will help us create and reach goals that government couldn’t achieve. I think it’s important to not become too dependent on it either. I think it’s important to create self sustaining systems with the aid of steemit- such as small businesss.
We need to ask more what can I do for my country and my people instead of what can my country do for me.
