Well, take a cup of coffee, feel relaxed and follow me keenly as I walk you through the pains of the African child.
Most often than not, one cannot but wonder the type of society we live in.
Looking at the picture below, the first thing that comes to mind is who exactly has failed this young man and his likes in the society? Their parents, the government, or other people in the society. Well, it's really not certain who has failed this category of people, but the glaring truth is that the government has the largest portion of the blame.
While in some other part of the world where education is free and compulsory till adult age for children, the reverse is the case for an African child as no government care whether he/she is educated. While there are free and accessible hospital with world class facilities for children in parts of the world where the leaders don't think anticlockwise, the reverse is the case for the African child. Shelter of any kind is not for the African child. The list goes on and on.
But should we fold our hands and watch this continues to the next generations? Certainly not. Then, what is the way forward? Simple!
First, believe, believe that the African story can be changed. Tremendous things happen to the believer. But is that all? NO! Let us speak unanimously against every form of societal ill Speak up against maladministration, lets become rebels against mediocrity. Lastly, contribute to the society in your own way, you mustn't be in government to effect a change; A word of encouragement, One hundred naira, teaching someone a skill and all lots of that could be a revolution in someone's life.
Together we can grow AFRICA!
