IS GREEN AFRICA POSSIBLE, IMAGINE A CONTINENT RUNNING AN AGRO-BASED AND GREEN MACHINERY

Green Africa, as a young man is something I’ve dreamed of and in my own little corner I wanted to come to my continent, because asides our true cultural identity and natural resources, colonialism stripped us off of our own methods of production and awareness and we now rely heavily on imported foodstuff and amenities, it is a shame that our undergarments down to underwear are imported from abroad.

​This makes us totally dependant on our former colonial masters causing neo-colonialism a more modernised shege in a diplomatic methods. Imagine the former colonial slave masters going to Kumasi, Ghana to purchase sugar cane, fruits, cocoa and other plants for peanuts and import them to their countries, only to export them as finished products, what a scam!, and they arrest fraudsters in their countries, what an irony!

​Whereas African politicians sit and watch the great evil and quietly reap the benefits of political corruption, wickedness and suffering of the people while African resources sit there either being forcefully tapped away or remaining untapped. The whites get their resources and tools of wealth from us but yet they refer to us as a poor continent. If you check focus economics as of today, you will see how they rubbished and stripped Mother Africa stark naked for the rest of the world to see.

​Léopold Sédar Senghor said “She was clothed in her colour which is life” but our politicians have sold the colour for breadcrumbs for those who have troubled her.

​In my own opinion, Green Africa is really much possible but we must follow certain precepts and the first is to stop selling our weapons of industrial warfare, in this war our weapons are carnal and are mighty in flipping the switch, as it stands Africa and Asia export high volumes of food products while Europe and the Americas reap the profit! If we want to grow as a continent we need to work on heavy introspection and give other continents what we call healthy distance!

Secondly, not just as nations but as a continent we need to give our industries a total revival, there is no room for slacking, no opportunity for weakness we’ve done all that in the past! Governments instead of investing in “White Elephant Projects” and embezzling, laundering money let them just pump and invest in African industrialism so that they can end well like the likes of Awolowo, Macaulay, Nkrumah and the other greats, what would they love to be remembered for!

Further, political collaborations should be enforced, instead of actively practicing xenophobia,towards their own brothers and not the white men who put us in shackles, let us organize business conferences through our continental and regional unions and organizations to empower organizations, individuals—both youth and old folk alike so we can grow as a continent.

​Then, we must incorporate industrialist courses into our educational system and also introduce theoretical precepts into their education—students often learn and become better than their teachers if they like the discipline. Take the Greek big three for instance, Socrates >>>>Plato>>>Aristotle. We can create that and even more in our continent and change the narrative of our continent not just for now but for generations beyond!

​Then, we need conglomerates and mega business to create opportunities for youth to gain employment and internships for indigenous residents regardless of the tribe, race or country. When we kill nepotism, tribalism and corruption we will move forward!

​Moreover, in order to facilitate easier marketing governments of African countries to grant business, distribution boards and companies opportunities for business permits and also provide them land and other factors of production so they can dwell and bring forth fruit in their country.

​Lastly African creators and inventors must be encouraged, properly funded, taken care of and their works must be given publicity and well protected through IP rights.

​If all these are done within at least three decades Africa will rise from the ashes and take back her crown.
