Maybe you should do a survey of the average number of people who upload absolutely unhelpful things and ideas to social media and let me know if your grandmother was wrong when she said she was worried about this Vulcan generation. There are some concerns about “today’s youth,” as they put it. Like there’s this fear that we’re finally going to ruin the world. What can we say, in Africa the elders probably know better. But as much as the older generation panics, the younger generation isn’t guilty of not carrying the right head size on their shoulders either. Some have indeed proven to be faithful descendants of African soil, setting the pace for others to follow.
Africa prides itself on presenting innovative and vibrantpioneers who see the need to take charge of their people’s development; tireless pursuit of the greatness of the continent through entrepreneurship, selfless charitable actions and sincere concern. You become a hero when your life story becomes a challenge and a transformational tool for the growth of others.
These “proudly” African entrepreneurs, pioneers and patriots are proof that there is definitely something good in and for our generation and that Africa can indeed bring practical and effective initiatives to improve our continent. By proving that we are not a helpless race and not a global problem, they deserve to be emulated and applauded for it. Africans are a people who have learned to be strong and relentless against all odds. A people who yearn for long-lasting and practical well-being in the system. These stubborn and daring innovators have made it much easier in the sense that any form of restraint, doing no good and showing your origin is just a figment of the imagination.
It seems the seriousness of the African’s socioeconomic condition has actually helped to do good. makes us twice as busy. As they say, every social problem is a business opportunity. Most of these people’s endeavors were motivated by the lack they felt or noticed in society at certain points in their lives.

Its goal was to revitalize a sense of cultural identification through the promotion of the Ugandan indigenous language and culture in general.

However, knowing that the likes of Musinguzi are out there gives assurance that greater things are about to emerge in African entertainment. He has also produced animated commercials for a chain of prestigious companies and banks.

3. Solomé Lemma
Solome is at the forefront of development aid from around the world for the benefit of the motherland.

Somehow there is now this refreshment in the patriotic mentality of Africans abroad. The 21st century African in the diaspora is (probably) more patriotic than you know, sometimes even more so than the Africans at home. I believe this is the trend that fueled the African In the Diaspora (AiD) initiative, Solome’s brain child. In an interview with Jacqueline Sibanda, Solome said she knew as a child that she was giving back to the African community through her education and career. The triggering point of this belief was when she lacked the means to help the women in Liberia. This led her to explore the relevance of philanthropy, a course she is passionate about and faithfully promotes.

Success does not depend on personal aggrandizement, but on the message you pass on to another person to become a better person. If you start living for the right reasons, people will learn from you too and will notice. Stop sitting around waiting to see what you want Africa to do for you, but get up and do something for Africa. You are either the problem or part of the solution.
