Children of Africa, Knowledge is our lost resource! Let Us dig and find it!
Just like we have campaigns to fight all the biological diseases
attacking us, we need to wake up and smell the coffee as Africans, we
are a mine field of brains that have been untapped for generation
because we were attacked by a rampant disease of the mind called
ignorance. How do we expect to move our societies forward if it's is
still a viable tale when our friends say "if you want to hide a secret
from an African then hide it in a book!" for as long as this saying has a
ring of truth to it, I say we will still have a long way to go. Oral
tradition worked well for us but it's time to let it go. How many
brilliant minds die with their knowledge locked up! I say the ground has
stolen from us for a while now but enough is enough! As Africans we
need to stop running from reading and writing. We need to cultivate a
generation of readers and writers so that instead of storing our
knowledge in the graves with the dead, atleast we have them archived in
the books. We need to appreciate that the best legacy is when you left
something to help the next generation not when you died with all those
great brains! Do something my dear woman or man of valor! It starts with
you. Knowledge is wealth and sharing it is a big investment. So read
and write much more than before! I need to read your book soon! Send me
your copy I promise you I will buy it!
