#Africa, theres never been a more exciting time for collaboration between those at home & in #Diaspora. Those in the diaspora have the experience and skills gained from different parts of the world. Those at home have unique insights into the socio-economic and political structures. They are on the ground. They know whats going on it. They live it and experience. Those at home and in the diaspora make a formidable combination. They have a symbiotic relationship. They need each other. Those in the diaspora cant make a difference at home without people on the ground at home. Those at home cant advance their cause without their brothers and sisters in the diaspora. Both groups are very important. The result of their collaboration is far greater than the sum of their individual efforts in isolation. Sons and Daughters of Africa at home and in the Dispora, lets explore synergies every single day! The advances in technology and social media mean that we can collaborate from different parts of the word. Lets take full advantage of this. Twitter just needs 140 characters. Could it be too much to ask to write 140 characters. If you need something more formal and businesslike then how about LinkedIn, the largest professional network. Then there is Facebook which I am using write now. These are just a few of the tools, so many to consider BBM, WhatsApp, Viber - we are truly spoilt for choice and of course good old email! There are really no excuses ladies and gentlemen when it comes to communication. To overcome the challenges in Africa, we need all hands on deck. The great Kwame Nkrumah once said, I am not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me. If you connect with Africa, if you love Africa, if you feel Africa is in your blood reach out to others. Lets build this great continent. Lets create a legacy that our children and their children can be proud of. We can do this. We have the power. Wherever we are Lets Connect, Collaborate, Conquer! Africa its time! #AfricaIsRising
