she's kind of right since i am kenyan yet i don't know swahili that good my parents have always been urging me to follow the western culture rather than the African culture Thanks alot Laiqa Walli
Africa does not need to incorporate the western education system. That would be a monumental mistake. Math is universal, the rest can be cherry picked according to each countries needs. 👊🏾
How you educate is different from what you educate, you know? We don't need to adopt the western education system. It's might work for them but not necessarily for us! We can take their calculations and results and teach them differently.
I hear in Africa, they have the classrooms in the shape of a circle and not like the perfect square, which was used to create conformity, like an assembly line.
had to click on pause to drop a comment halfway through cuz I'm already in love with everything Ms. Laiqi Walli is discussing in this talk. This is just FANTABULOUS!!!! Now let me go back and press play!
This is the unfortunate reality we live in. It is inspiring to see such a young and smart member of the African youth stand up for the truth. We need more active members of our future doing what Laiqa Walli is doing. Truly amazing!
This future is ours and it's our job our duty to build it. If we must die like Thomas Sankara, Khadafi, Martin Luther King....... to rise up our country we should do this.
I had this argument with my Uncle about a month ago why we are trying to westernize Nigeria instead of making it more Nigerian and it was solely on development, this lady just spoke my heart. Thank you so much.
Bruuuuuuh! Exactly!!! all these Lebanese guys building all these rubbish in Nigeria that have no use in our lives is mind blowing Most Nigerians don't know history and are now in an Abusive relationship with the rest of the world Loving who no love you
It is 100% correct that know one will help 🌍 Africa but the Africans for them selves and by themselves.We don't need the west for nothing. Please develop Africa for African-Diaspora and Africa only.
I agree 100%, I’m going to work with this lady in the future we have to be proud of our identity and weave that into our development. Also we should all unite and stop tribalism, it will only be a hindrance - a Ugandan 🇺🇬🇺🇬
this is a great comment. African needs to find a way of changing the mindset of Africans, to stop thinking all good things come from foreign countries.
❤💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 a pep-talk not just for Africa but for the entire Global South 🙌🏻 our countries clearly need more youth leaders. The median age of an African is around 19 while their politicians are usually in their 70s and beyond. The proportion of youth in politics needs to go up 🙈
Because all of the resources are being extracted from those countries without compensation and not the other way around! Your diamonds,gold,platinum,uranium, oil,natural gases etc... But they give them 5 cents a day!!! Sorry to say but I’m an American and every Kingdom has fallen so count your blessings while you can.
A very amazing speech. We as african we must understand one thing: being différent doesn't mean being poor. We are in fact rich yes very rich but what she said is reaaly important : we cannot adopt, we must adapt. So we must develop our country in our own style, in our own way right. Before opening your door you must what's in your bouse. Thanks
still watching today. Malawi is just now thinking of changing its agriculture and the burkinade are now revolutionizing their country too.... road to one Africa one nation
Yes Africa don’t need to copy western world development, we have our own way of development that is what many youth forget, thank you for this great message
Hello Laiqa Walli - thank you for this enlightening and courageous speech. Carry on and we know that right now Africa is changing and wakening up. One day I will look you up, to exchange ways of doing something for the future of our homeland MOTHER AFRICA.
@RoLodge Hotels & Resorts you can and don’t let anyone discourage you. Start participating in local community services now and educate yourself with the problems your local community has and find a solution for it. Good luck and never stop reading especially about Africa and it’s leaders.
This was so amazing. So well said. Only we as Africans can solve our own problems and develop our own countries from our own perspective and innovation. We should not lose our culture in a futile attempt to be like the West which is adding immensely to the issues we already and continue to face. Development is not equal to Westernization.
I love adapt and not adopt. We need to accept ourselves as Africa (we are blessed) and what we have and work with that. Let's embrace what we have work for us and the entire world. Let's develop Africa with what we have. Proud of you, Laiqi.
CONSTRUCTIVELY TIMELY AND APPROPRIATE. HOWEVER, all nation's and in particular must REDIRECT THEIR EDUCATION SYSTEM TO MAKE ALL SCHOOLS FULLY COMPREHENSIVE WHEREIN STUDENTS WILL BE DEVELOPED IN THEIR NATURAL ABILITY FROM PRE SCHOOL TO UNIVERSITY LEVEL. SUCH A SYSTEM REQUIRES THE BEST TRAINED TUTORS FOR THE BEST EQUIPPED AND ARCHITECTURALLY PLANNED SCHOOLS IN THE BEST LOCATIONS
Such a brave woman, I support her point of view. Keep your Western culture in the West mates. Stop promoting it as THE one and only true way of living. Peace.
Laiqa...JESUS be your anchor. You got it well...so well. I hope more will get it too. Authenticity is what we are all made unic about. Africa is part of the world...so are all Africans regardless of social, gender etc and regardlessa of the type of education level we all get...every one plays a role.. Being politically correct is a trap. We need to be humble about who is next to us. That's loving your neighbourh as yourself.
Nice speech. It would have been appropriate to allow her to have it in Swahili, since it is addressed to Africans... TedX speeches in Italy are held in Italian and streamed with English subtitles...
2021 and Africa is going toward have Kiswahili as the official language so African are going away from the westernized ideals. Africa is getting better and I'm proud of that.
It amazes me that Indians identify as African. I respect it because some of them are direct descendants Hopefully one day Africans in India will be loved
The problem is that, our grandparents didn’t do NOTHING I mean absolutely NOTHING so that we the younger generation will take over but they failed to and that’s what is harming us till now, if they were doing something related to the development of the continent then we wouldn’t have any problems of continuing from where they stopped this is what is disturbing us my African brothers and sisters.
It's literally an African problem. Tourists and foreigners come to our countries to see what we have, not the KFC and McDonald's they already have. They are in awe of the very little unwesternized culture we show. But the new generations are losing that.
4:29 "Westernization is hindering our African innovation" "We must take authorities of our own progress" very true
@@bogdanov2395 It's because we as Africa allow it.
No one will ever genuinely help Africa rise except AFRICANS THEMSELVES... Thank you
Yet you have these demonic countries that pillaged and enriched themselves from the riches of this continent. Sad bastards!!!!👊🏼
Do you really mean since Africans haven't helped any other hurting groups rise they're destined for the same treatment?
You are right
I want to try
And china😂
Do not adopt, adapt ☝🏿
Yesss ma’am.
This video should be played at every school in specially higher education classes. You go girl.....
she's kind of right since i am kenyan
yet i don't know swahili that good
my parents have always been urging me to follow the western culture rather than the African culture
Thanks alot Laiqa Walli
Africa does not need to incorporate the western education system. That would be a monumental mistake. Math is universal, the rest can be cherry picked according to each countries needs. 👊🏾
i agree to what you said
I agree but Science is also universal
How you educate is different from what you educate, you know?

@@ampersand6375 no, it's perfect square. At least in all the schools I've been to.
Whoo! Girl, thank you! Guilty for thinking that development was equal to westernization. Thank you for that perspective.
The end is the truth. We seek validation from a concept that is outdated. Time for Africa to rise above this and take control of its future..
had to click on pause to drop a comment halfway through cuz I'm already in love with everything Ms. Laiqi Walli is discussing in this talk. This is just FANTABULOUS!!!! Now let me go back and press play!
We are proud to have been part of this great initiative . Keep aiming higher
This is the unfortunate reality we live in. It is inspiring to see such a young and smart member of the African youth stand up for the truth. We need more active members of our future doing what Laiqa Walli is doing. Truly amazing!
Everything she says is so true. I am Native “American”, and the same concepts applies to “Latin America”.
I am an African in America and I agree with all that she said. We Africans are brainwashed from the top.
This is what I’ve been saying 😩🥰 You go girl! ❤️🇿🇦
Let Africa be Africa......I love this.
Well Said. These are the mindsets to change our nations in Africa.
This future is ours and it's our job our duty to build it. If we must die like Thomas Sankara, Khadafi, Martin Luther King....... to rise up our country we should do this.

Great presentation BUT, the scramble for Africa Is & has NEVER BEEN OVER.

True very true problem is African leaders will be fossil’s before they leave their positions
More people need to see this👏👏👏👏💯
I'm African American and I 100% agree with everything that was said.
I’m Italian American and I agree 100%!!!
Everyone in Africa would trade places with you to live in America.
@Laiqa Walli How come so many Africans are scramming to get into America and not the other way around?
Because all of the resources are being extracted from those countries without compensation and not the other way around! Your diamonds,gold,platinum,uranium, oil,natural gases etc... But they give them 5 cents a day!!! Sorry to say but I’m an American and every Kingdom has fallen so count your blessings while you can.
@@charlesnelson6029count what blessings while poverty has been skilfully created for Africans who are supposed to be rich?
Small steps... We are getting there... SLOWLY but SURELY
African leaders should see this.
I’ll make that happen.
Great. Love it. The wisdom of youth...the time is here.
wow, I almost shed a tear with this speech... Africa rise🙌
A very amazing speech. We as african we must understand one thing: being différent doesn't mean being poor.

PREACH!
Soooo true! I am so encouraged in seeing such young people who are deep thinkers.
10:30 yeah baby. Wakanda. I hear you!
still watching today. Malawi is just now thinking of changing its agriculture and the burkinade are now revolutionizing their country too.... road to one Africa one nation
Wht a wonderful speech.....bst wishes from India 🇮🇳
21st century is not the Asian century its African, if they can get things right it will be an exciting century for Africa
Nice joke
The fact that our book made us watch and learn from this video is amazing. Wonderful speech too🫶
do you live in the philippines? and what school are you in
Enlightened
Yes Africa don’t need to copy western world development, we have our own way of development that is what many youth forget, thank you for this great message
Pronto ,spot on!
This is Africa and Africa is our business😊.. We pray to make Africa greatest..
So touching
Watching from Philippines, Nice speech by the way
Very very proud of you. Indeed Africa is raising and that Africa is represented by you. Thank you.
Well said my dear sister. If we have more of your type gives hope for present and future Africa. The deepest message coming from an African youth.
Africa is a sleeping giant, we must wake up and share enlightenment to the African people, unity and consciousness is the way forward ✊🏽🌍
Such an intelligent young woman. Our Africa needs more of these youths 🙏🙏🙏
Respect to sister
Thank you very much.
I am glad I met this ted talk I will make a difference
Great.
"Perhaps Moammar Gaddafi was right." HOLY BASED! This girl is a fountain of unfiltered, no BS wisdom!
90% agree
She is speaking the truth. I hope the young people are listening. The future is for those who identify what they are already having and using it.
Laiqa is so brilliant and extremely articulate. This was beautiful to watch ❤
I love this
This video Educated me
Hello Laiqa Walli - thank you for this enlightening and courageous speech. Carry on and we know that right now Africa is changing and wakening up. One day I will look you up, to exchange ways of doing something for the future of our homeland MOTHER AFRICA.
Africa by Africans explanation Thank you
Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾. Corruption is what is finishing us
We Africans need a younger government bodies. All these 70+ leaders we have are corrupt
That's probably true all over the world
@RoLodge Hotels & Resorts you can and don’t let anyone discourage you. Start participating in local community services now and educate yourself with the problems your local community has and find a solution for it. Good luck and never stop reading especially about Africa and it’s leaders.
I like the video, congratulations, my dear!
I like this girl
This was so amazing. So well said. Only we as Africans can solve our own problems and develop our own countries from our own perspective and innovation. We should not lose our culture in a futile attempt to be like the West which is adding immensely to the issues we already and continue to face. Development is not equal to Westernization.
My teacher forced me to watch this.
Africans wake up.
Let's go back to our culture and be proud of who we are and what we have
Start with Internet please.
I love adapt and not adopt. We need to accept ourselves as Africa (we are blessed) and what we have and work with that. Let's embrace what we have work for us and the entire world. Let's develop Africa with what we have. Proud of you, Laiqi.
This is indeed great message...... Africans weke up. Westernization is different from development
That is my girl!
Very powerful talk

My parents, in particular my mother, had this way of thinking and as a result I've been feeling like a tourist in my own country.
Wow... intelligents sister 💪🏿thank you very much for such incredible knowledge Passover...our Ancestors are proud of you 👍🏿
The younger generation will solve these problems. They have fresh ideas, and have not been brainwashed. They have clear eyes with clear visions.
rising
She's spot on
That was inspirational, good work!
Well...what she says in the end, I don't know where she got that idea from:'the scramble for Africa is in the past', but that's simply not true...
Such a brave woman, I support her point of view.
Keep your Western culture in the West mates. Stop promoting it as THE one and only true way of living. Peace.
Finally
How can I get hold of this lady. We need her to visit Zambia
Woow I'm speechless 😶
Watching in 2024.
A beautiful lady has just spoken some beautiful sense.
Makes the world feel right
Laiqa...JESUS be your anchor. You got it well...so well. I hope more will get it too. Authenticity is what we are all made unic about.

2021 and Africa is going toward have Kiswahili as the official language so African are going away from the westernized ideals. Africa is getting better and I'm proud of that.
I swear our transport system is very spontaneous and still safe.. there is always a fast means of transport each time!
*Laiqa Walli can get it
That' was wonderful,I fully agree with you.
Louder!!!!
Very interesting and inspirational perspective
showing an accurate and deep understanding; great perceptive. Thank you for all the insightful information. 💡

It amazes me that Indians identify as African. I respect it because some of them are direct descendants
Hopefully one day Africans in India will be loved
The problem is that, our grandparents didn’t do NOTHING I mean absolutely NOTHING so that we the younger generation will take over but they failed to and that’s what is harming us till now, if they were doing something related to the development of the continent then we wouldn’t have any problems of continuing from where they stopped this is what is disturbing us my African brothers and sisters.
Stop westernizing Africa. Your focuses should be totally different and pan_ Africanist. Be vigilant, the struggle continues!
It's literally an African problem. Tourists and foreigners come to our countries to see what we have, not the KFC and McDonald's they already have. They are in awe of the very little unwesternized culture we show. But the new generations are losing that.
Tshirt is sick though
