This guy has matured so much I wish he had grassroots support to have a chance to redirect our country

Nothing is impossible. It's possible! ✊🏿🌍

African countries don't even print their own currency. But ghana is a mess I don't think there is nothing much to be learned from there. The elites there are so much entrenched and benefiting from the status quo. Leadership in Ghana behave as if they gained independent five years ago. The two ruling parties constantly sabotage each thus hindering the progress of the country at large. Tnx
What about socially engineering the people, cooperate cohesively and behave, in such a way to develop the continent, as well as personal development. Cultural development. Instead of this semi-feudal petty feifdoms, with neo-colonial vassals. First to begin with, please remove those disgusting, horse ( manure ) wigs from off your heads. Let the people integrate on the level that they are comfortable with, the benefits will be self evident, that will create more self confidence. But internal trade has to start somewhere. Food, clothes, shelter, education, and a job has no politics. Arise African Lion. Engineers, scientists, mineralogist, doctors, geologists, physicists, be architects, farmers, teachers, metallurgist, just to name a few to understand, find and build new uses and value added materials for natural resources. Africa, if you intend to build, assemble the builders ! Training, organization and funding! This can only happens in an era of peace.
Be a politician if you want to be a politician not this nonsense options
No my brother, we need less career politicians. For that to be possible you must have options
Equal but not the same.
1. Africa is a continent not a country.
2. In an surrounding where everything is stabled and the conditions remain the same, a centralistic gouvermentsystem may be the right answer because it works like a brain. But the function of the brain is not to decide what to do, its function is to make way for the descission based on your experience, held in your sub conscience and brought out by your conscience. Therefore you have to accept that your brain serves you to manage your decisions but is not the decider. Your brain is part of you but you are not your brain.
3. In an unstable surrounding with changing conditions, a centralistic government like France/ Paris or Brussel for the EU shows, that the deciscions or rules that works for one region of the country often not works for others in the same country. The same for Europe. What may functions in Germany may not work in Denmark or Sweden. And that's good.
Why? Because we as human may have equal needs but not always the wishes to satisfy them the exactly same way. That because everything is relativ. Different countries means different challenges. And that brings a bundle of different solutions if we remain different. This is the right answer for an surrounding with changing an unstable conditions. And life is not stable it's challenging. That why we all dream from a place so called paradise.
But the dream of a paradise were we are all the same and life peaceful in harmony ends in an disaster. Why? because we are part of an evolutionary system. And to evolve it needs tension that challenges life in every kind of form. Without we would not survive.
History shows in facts that everytime a systems gets to comfortable it will stuck sooner or later. So therefore we as human being can only survive if we are excepting that were the same kind but different. And because we are different we can learn from each and make new experience and find new solutions. Solution to survive on a challenging planet.
Learn to respect each other.
Learn to be honest to trust each other.
Learn to trust in the whole human family and not in gods.
Learn to learn from each other.
learn to accept the difference and we will love each other.
