Greetings Jabou Joh,

Yes I agree with your point. However what is simple is often difficult and
what is difficult is often simple. My pointing being its not until Africans
Globally release their potential are things going to happen. Therefore
raising awareness of our collective history, and capability, Can influence
the youth and provide the necessary motivation for them to achieve their
potential. I think this is paramount to nation building. It is important to
our children to have Africa promote positively. Despite the challenges
Africa faces it is a land of opportunity. Let's face it for centuries the
west has relied on our human resources. It was human resources which they
needed to build up their countries, and financial institutions.

Africans in the Diaspora have plenty of skills that could be of use to
Africa. However those who aren't consciously aware of their origins or wish
to disassociate themselves from the continent have brainwashed by the
system. and the responsibility of raising awareness about Africa and its
peoples contribution to the international community  is essential both
inside, and outside of Africa.

So that future generations will know what there ancestors had achieved, and
what they themselves can achieve to fulfill their true potential.

Peace & Unity

Sophia Ba
