My wish for Africa, on Africa Day, is that we start learning in earnest from our collective past, take full ownership of our future and refrain from being our own worst enemies.
My hope is that we develop, support and encourage the type of leaders that have only the interest of Africa and her people at heart.
My dream is to wake up tomorrow and see our people united as one, vigorously fighting against the evil and the ideologies that seek to advance wars, hunger, disease and pain.
My hope is that Africa grows in leaps and bounds – in her own gracious way – nurtured by the belief that we have what it takes, as Africans, to show others the way.
It is not that we do not have the leadership and the resources that we need. Sometimes we just lack the courage to deal with the challenges or we are too drained to stand next to those that do.
