We are not of our fathers' generation and we all have wrongdoing in us. Our current leaders, (our fathers) despite their weaknesses and despite ours, have something of value to teach us. After all, theirs was a unique experience that we did not see. In post-colonial Africa were the birth pangs of a great continent. Painful as it was, it's birth will produce joy of a somewhat ecstatic nature.<br /><br />I am positive that in our generation a union will be realised and many who suffer on our continent shall have relief. Yes we have many differences but Africans everywhere are more similar than they are different in terms of spirit. We are citizens of the world first, Africans second and nations third. Forbid that we should all be the same since a celebration of differences and variety means flavour and rhythm. Africans know how to live with rhythms created by variety.<br /><br /> When given the opportunity we will be a blessing to all the earth. Much good will come from Africa in spite of its current state. If it does not come, those of us living to take over leadership from our fathers shall at least die trying, remaining true to the vision they saw.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9175169919851206171-567551210637181283?l=africanlions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Federalisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00331554424812786289noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175169919851206171.post-68285000639548697822007-07-29T06:14:00.000-07:002007-07-29T06:31:48.687-07:00<p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Africa is a beautiful place, a continent with a deep and rich history. A place of passion! Much suffering has been experienced here but here the greatest laughter can be heard.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br />This vast land is a place of great potential and a time is coming soon where the vibrancy of the entire continent shall inspire new and innovative ideas to spring up from a population that has become zealous to make its mark.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">When that time comes, it will be a marvel in all the earth. They shall say in all the lands of the earth, "From where did this spring?" "From where did such peace arise out of war, from where did this prosperity appear out of the dust, to where will this vibrant continent go?"<br /></p></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Those of us who hold close to this dream shall surely be filled with tears in our eyes when the place that was once a semi-developed continent arises as a nation, a union of grace, a rising from ashes, a great progress for Africa which shall grow into a progress of mankind.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">At that time, (a dream that will be reality), all of us will join together on a great experiment where nationalism shall die. A time where differences will be celebrated while uniting in a common purpose. A time when not only Africa, but also our entire human race shall live up to the calling to which we are destined.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">We look, we wait, we anticipate but most of all we work towards it! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Contact me to comment on the Union of All Africa and the betterment of our people.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">rulership2002@yahoo.com</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9175169919851206171-6828500063954869782?l=africanlions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Federalisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00331554424812786289noreply@blogger.com0
