Building a prosperous Africa through strategic management and mindset
Natives of Africa do not take pride in Africa just because of how it is. On the contrary, every patriotic African cherishes Africa because of how industrious Africa can potentially become The more reason why it is mission critical in building a prosperous Africa through strategic management and mindset.
We do not have a bond amongst ourselves based on our bloodlines. No! We see ourselves as one because we are from one African race yet have a long way to achieve our aims and visions of becoming a First Class Continent. We have a long way to go, but we have to hold firm on ourselves as one and put in practical steps in achieving our Visions.
The various agendas, policies, and projects that African governments have committed to developing their economies cannot be attained just like that. There are different practical steps that both the citizenry and the governments must take to reach these targets on time successfully. Therefore, we must not only say, but we must also be pragmatic with our speeches, to be able to get our marks on time. AFRICAN VOICES INTERNATIONAL has expounded on three measures needed by the Africans to reach these targets. We believe that Africa can go a long way forward in achieving these targets.
Government Equity in Developmental Projects is a quintessential approach towards achieving Global Targets by African Governments for the responding survival of our countries. All projects that our governments undertake must not be under particular suburbs in our countries. There must be genuine inclusiveness of all the structures in our countries. Both Rural and Urban areas must all have equitable shares in the distribution of the National Cake. We have Ministers and Parliamentarians in every country.
These functionaries must be able to play honest roles that will lead to equitable results for the equitable growth in the development of our countries. The administrative settings must all be strictly geared towards an equitable plan, which must be the center of our government’s projects for the change, we need to see in Africa. We must all be concerned about each other and not take half measures in whatever we do. If something must be done, it must be done excellently.
Our service to the nation must be done with extra care. We must not only think of the receipts we will receive at the end of the day, but we must think of the populace, those in need that we do not even see or will not never meet, and act promptly. We must learn to show compassion towards all areas in which we are assigned roles, and that’s how our countries will experience freedom. Whether an individual is made a headmistress of a primary school, one is made the Director of a bank, the head of a district hospital, or the mayor of a city, we all must learn to play our roles excellently that will exhibit fairness in the administrative functions, we are assigned to, and that’s how the entirety of our nations will experience freedom. When we are fair, every nook and cranny of our countries will experience freedom.
AFRICAN VOICES INTERNATIONAL entreats all leaders and governments to act fairly and proactively for Africa, and we need to come to this being. The Governments must also learn to sponsor the needy and those in abject poverty to help the balanced progression of our societies. Some governments in Africa are doing this, but much attention needs to be given to this. We are missing out on many needy but intelligent ones who cannot express themselves simply because of the state they are in.
Our governments need to focus very much on making life much better for all. That should be their topmost priority; helping those with insufficient incomes. There must be policies where people with poor remunerations are given certain exemptions to satisfy conditions in areas of their lives they need most. It is not about transporting people in need abroad. It is about creating the environment for them to soar here. We must open the doors for everyone to breakthrough in life if we call ourselves democratic leaders, with the ambitions of making life fair and more accessible as well, for all.
All citizens must also learn to play their roles in making Africa a perfect one. We must not be persuaded to perform specific functions. No! We must learn to play certain roles willingly with passion. We must see certain things as an onus on us in making our nations thrive. It is a service, and if it must be done, it must be done well. The rich must learn to help the poor. They must know to do this silently. They must not be talking about this or force those they help to talk about this. But those they help should give testimony to such benevolent ones. The Globe has now become a strange one. People help others because of the name they will get and the celebrations they will be greeted with.
You find older ones tearing other good Legends down all to have the perfect name only to themselves. We are spoiling our generation. We need to reason up and be wise. Africa is not for a group of people. Africa is for a wider audience, created by God to glorify him. So let us be people of Care and Love. Let us put all parochial desires to the grave and reason up for the benefit of the entire globe. AFRICAN VOICES INTERNATIONAL implores us all to stand tall and be each other’s keeper. Let us be a blessing to each person who comes around us and make the globe a much better place.
We can create an advanced system in Africa where prosperity thrives in every region we have in our nations. We can develop Self-reliant economies and build a better future for all. It all lies to us. How are we living our lives? How are we governing our territories? We can do it. We need to be extra tenacious, supportive, loving, and caring to reach our targets. Let us revolutionize Africa.
Let us transform the African Anatomy. Let us make it happen.
