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!
