INVOKING THE LEAD-ER-SHEEP SPIRIT IN AFRICA

The major problem in the world today; especially African Continent is obviously that of leadership, as Africans we therefore owe ourselves a duty of find solution(s) to the problem. This being the reason why I decided to put down my thought on this important matter so as to help put things in the right perspective. Any you reading this piece will be helping in a great lot of ways by adding your comment and or forward this to others.

Embarking on this write up I asked myself; why should Africa’s problem be that of leadership? And three reasons readily came to mind apart from the general sociological reasons:

1)      Africa’s Past Colonial history.

2)      Military Rule across Africa.

3)      Literary Misinformation / Misconceptions

As Africans we are blessed by our creator who generously endowed us with many gifts. Our continent boasts a wide range of environmental variety: ranging from the icy peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro in East Africa to the thick jungles of Central Africa, and the dry plains to the south. Our homeland is flowing with natural and mineral wealth: as evident in the diamond mines of South Africa, the gold pits of West Africa, the oil fields of North Africa, and the majestic Nile which meanders its way down through East Africa.

Our peoples have grown strong and accustomed to the rugged lifestyle which our environment demands. Thousands of years of struggling have led us to perfect our societies and cultures, enabling us to survive on the land and use it best for our needs. In associating and interacting with ourselves we have formed powerful unions and relationships with one another, advanced cultures and societies, and powerful kingdoms and empires.
