Africa is a very vast continent blessed with an abundance of untapped human Work potential. She is gifted with a variety of raw materials, a strong and young, but idle workforce and abundant sunshine.
As a developing continent, it is also facing many big challenges, such as: extreme poverty, hunger, disease, ignorance, chronic unemployment, needless bloody and costly ethnic and religious conflicts. This is causing human rights violations, sexual abuse, and displacement of people and creating a serious refugee problem. Sadly most of the abuse is inflicted by Africans (including their fellow African rulers) upon their own people. Addressing these problems is indeed a very tall order for Africans, which African People themselves must address as a matter of urgency. Failing that, they will not go away on their own. If anything, they can only get worse, creating more problems. Political instability and a constantly moving population makes economic and social development almost impossible. Not many investors would risk putting their money there.
The Good News
Problems are Opportunities in disguise. To find and develop solutions for these seemingly daunting problems can Create Work and generate wealth for those who get involved. They should get involved because whether they are in Africa or in the Diaspora they are affected directly or indirectly.
Most, if not all of the millions of Africans in the Diaspora have their loved ones there who are living under those trying conditions, which those in the Diaspora escaped.
Developed countries, where Africans in the Diaspora have escaped to, have also been where Africa is now. But they uplifted themselves. If they did it, so can you. Rome was not built over night. Africans have to start from somewhere.
Opportunities to Create Work and generate Wealth and uplift African People by African People
- Making the things that people need for own domestic use, which are presently being imported, going without or using imported used ones; for example clothing and footwear;
- building the infrastructure: roads, running water, constant energy, telecommunications, transport systems;
- improving rural and urban housing stock, especially (not exclusively) in rural areas
- exploiting and adding value to home raw materials
- food security: production, preservation and processing, etc.
- Health care
- Education and technical and trade skills
The list is not exhaustive.
Business Opportunities
We are looking for honest Partners, Associates, investors who genuinely care for people, that we can work with to deliver these essential services for the advancement of our countries and fellow Africans.
Instead of dwelling on the dark past (slavery, colonial occupation, neo-colonialism), we should learn from those unpleasant experiences and move on. Look to the future and not look backwards.
All human societies have had their dark past. For Europe, the most recent were the first and second world wars, that cause much destruction of lives and property. But they had to rebuild their shattered economies all over again. China too had her very recent experience with poverty, hunger and deaths. But they learnt from that and moved on.
If they did, so can Africans, rather than sit back and mourn and let things deteriorate. Life has to continue. Salvage what can be and use it to build ourselves. No turning back.
