What do you want happening in the continent of Africa? List your Africa's dream.

I want all the leaders of most Africans countries removed and people who know what it takes to lead Africa and make it become greatest in the world to take over of the Africa's countries affairs.

I want huge investment coming in the continent of Africa from all parts of the world. Investing in different sectors of the Africans economy by creating thousands of companies and employing millions of African people.

I want all Africans: Professionals, gurus, experts, great leaders scattered all over the world to return to Africa. As Israel returned to their promise land. To dress up Africa as there are potential here in Africa than any other part of the world.

I want blessings of God Almighty pouring upon the land of Africa than never existed in earth that the whole world will be looking up to Africa for solution in various existence of mankind.  

What's stopping all those wishes from coming true (@ Ogbso, Webmaster, Mature and Martina who have responded to the thread so far)?

I want Africa to be shown its due respect as the birth of Mankind (the origin of all great and small men and women whose value can't be measured). I want that, because Africa deserves it.

Dqueen I beg to differ, I think the best respect is respect earned not demanded. When what  Martina, Mature and Ogboso wrote are in place the respect will be earned. That is certain.
I want Africans day and night be thinking of what to do for Africa as a continent. Just like you're researching and working in Branding Africa in your blog.
You can't beat growth that will be recorded in State or continent when people think beyond their daily bread and family alone.

You make some interesting points Perfect. However, what's stopping those 'wishes' from coming true for Africa?

Wouldn't we learn a lot if the many guests viewing this thread would also contribute... :-)

Dqueen, it might not easily be answered but what I think that is certain that makes the things listed above eluding the continent or not taken place the way they ought to be is that many Africans both leaders and people think and plan about themselves and families only. The same mind-set is continued even while they're in power.

This is a very helpful analysis Perfect. In my view you are claiming that we tend not to look beyond our families and today's needs. In other words, as Africans we often do not consider others and the future generations' needs. This potentially affects the sustainability of our development. I hope my interpretation of your views is correct, if not please feel free to correct it. Do you think our tendency to worry about just 'us' and 'today' has something to do with our culture, or the idea that we have to 'struggle' to survive as Africans?

Your view about my post is correct. Answering your last line, I won't suggest is an Africans culture rather is an ideal most Africans have to struggle to survive as Africa.
For example one time or the other Government officials have been caught transferring billions of dollars outside Africa. I wonder what one individual is doing with such amount of money if not thinking about his/her self alone.
This is to serve as a reality not totality of my reason of the wishes above may continue eluding Africa.

Thank you for the elaboration Perfect.

You are welcome Dqueen, we always work and expect the best for our continent.
