From all PBACs across Africa and beyond, we wish all of you a new year of greatness. One where the course of Africa's history will be changed for good. A year that transcends mere wishes for betterment to putting hardwork in outlandish achievements.
So much is said about the untapped resources in Africa that lies in waste and ruins, no doubt! But the number one waste and untapped "natural resource" is leadership! For this, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REQUIRE FOREIGN INVESTORS, No!
Who will invest in a people who is not theirs for the fun of it?
Who will love a people who is not theirs for love sake?
Who will develop a land wherein he is but a passing stranger?
As I have often stated, if leadership is the prevailing problem of the land (Africa), then it will be great wisdom to begin to raise a new breed of leaders. A wise man said, it is a lot better and easier to nurture good children than to prune grown and broken men.
We have a great task which requires even greater tact. And we must begin to rethink and reshape our Africa. And this will be done by the men who are haunted by the narrowness of our past and confronted with the vastness of our future, men who question how their actions will echo down across the corridors the coming centuries and our children hear our names wondering who they were. All hands must be on deck to undertake this gigantic task of rebranding our own home. For this again, we cannot and do not require foreign investment.
We cannot therefore, continue to wriggle with and feed the worms that consumes us daily, we must purge ourselves giving way to the good that dwells in us for flourishing.
A great Africa is possible!
