Вставка

- For the future success of Africa and Africans, the educational approach from our rich history and cultural heritage should be exploited, in a bid to showcase Africa as a cradle of civilization, where talent and creativity thrive, as it will establish a symbiotic relationship between the continent and the rest of the global community. The need to improve the environment for commercialization of research output and properly harness the growing population by accommodating our rich heritage as Africans, in terms of services, ideologies and productions will trigger socioeconomic growth and global recognition and interrelation.

The truth is that Africa need to wake up now.The government should listen well and address the points raised by this fine and eloquent researcher.
We have a lot of talents in Africa,our problem is coordination.
We sure do. Thank you for watching and the nice comments.
We are not less than we’re considered to be 🎉
This was awesome!! And I definitely agree that the Jollof cuisine wars should be globalized!
well said my brother
Thank you for a very illuminating talk. Africa can do a lot better if we harness the potentials that already exist within the continent. I am very impressed at the work you are doing at the University of Nigeria. The industrial sector in Nigeria needs to come in to take advantage and to translate research findings into products for the country.
Thank you. The opportunities are enormous and are low hanging fruits.
Love from India
Africa nations and as a whole, need to control import laws as Russia does (like them or not)
-No hazardous materials without proper containment
- NO seeds created to make the farmer dependent
-packaging that cant be reused or recycled
-the right to alter as progression comes about
