CAN AFRICA LEAD THE WORLD?
Jesus answered this question when He said
‘So the last shall be first, and the first last…Matt. 20:16’
Some nations and continents may be leading in terms of economy and general well being, but God has said that everyone would have his chance. The one who is first today would soon be overtaken by the one which was last. Therefore every trailing nations has the spiritual provisions (no matter the presence or absence of mineral resources) to take the lead in the economic affairs of the world even Africa
Everyone would have the opportunity to take the front role in the economic affairs of the world.
Before the leading nations were overtaken, the trailing nations first had a revolution on how they were thinking. They upgraded their mentality and changed how they did things. They didn’t continued in the traditions that kept them trailing, they identified what they were either not doing or doing with the wrong attitudes and improved on them.
If we must overtake the leading nations of our days as Africans, we must first have our minds renewed and change the average mentality that had set us backward in Africa. Improve on our attitude and educational system that had continued to produce graduates who can’t solve any of our societal challenges.
we shouldn’t seat down and swallow information or practice cultures that didn't helped our fathers come out of poverty and obscurity rather we should seek for higher information and shun practices that had not helped us as Africans.
Those cultures and practices that are responsible in setting us backward should be identified and put to end. Some cultures like accepting bribes before choosing who to cast our votes for, or choosing a candidate for any position or opportunity and the deliberate attempt to bring down (deny support) any one of us who is on the verge of breakthrough etc.
Our education system should be advanced and we can start by seeking for more information using the internet beyond what we are being taught within the four walls of our schools.
The current products of our education system in Africa cannot conquer the world and the present culture which we as Africans are holding tightly to is setting us backward.
It’s only in Africa that the lecturer of a mechanical student cannot trust his student to make or repair his car for him.
The education system in Africa continues to produce academicians we don’t trust and professionals we don’t contract and yet we kept repeating the cycle that has yielded us nothing tangible. People who excelled in Africa went beyond the curriculum of the African child is exposed to.
Our government prefers foreign doctors, invites foreign engineers and professionals to handle all of her contracts and services where precise professionalism is needed.
Yet the government of Africa refuses to fine tune her educational system till it can produce knowledgeable men and women we can trust with the economy of our nation.
As concerned Africans, to wait for the government is another waste of time, let’s begin in our homes, with our siblings and let us teach our children beyond all they are being taught in school which hasn’t been helpful. Let us maximize the use of internet and research and upgrade the mental proficiency of our children. Let’s resist cultures and practices that hinder our mental development and economic growth.
Let’s love one another and resist the devilish urge to become envious and jealous; there is no harm in helping your brother make it by encouraging and patronizing his services. Let’s put one another first and soon as Christ has said, we'll take the lead in the affairs of the nations.
God bless you
