Yes we missed our way in the wilderness and engaged ourselves in full accelerated gear down the garden path of self-destruction. 20th century Africa was eventually reduced to a daily struggle for survival that outweighed the urge to aspire to the heights of other freedoms and majority of us adjust accurate interpretation of our situation to later wisdom and experience. Africas closure of the 20th century is long overdue. How can we still be putting old wine in new wine skins? How can we be operating with 20th century tools in a 21st century world? Why do we invest the bulk of our energy litigating the past, rather than forge forcefully towards a progressive future? How can we still be functioning as a 20th century continent in a fast-changing 21st century inter-twined global-spirited world? How can we be engaged in 20th century parenting, political, traditional and business leadership, business practices, irrelevant education, pastoral leadership and style, industry, agrarian agriculture, planning and infrastructure development, all premised on a dead centurys thinking, and expect to be competitive? A question posed to all : Is there real hope of a new constituency of youthful Africans out there, truly fighting forcefully and relentlessly for identity change, a new direction, and a new globally-competitive path? Can you stand counted amongst the dry bones that shall live again??. Charles Sam
