We are the solution to our problems. We should not expect help from elsewhere but from ourselves.

Do you know that the land that we so much want to take back in Africa is not the silver bullet that we expect it to be? In this episode, we discuss if we are ready to take the land and if the traditional means of "taking" is the best way forward. We also discuss other kinds of cultivation that we can take advantage of.
In Africa we tend to depend on resource extraction and other primary industries. In this episode we discuss how we can change the predominant ideas concerning how we can amass wealth in Africa.
The African Dream has always been with us since time immemorial. We are responsible for the course that this continent has been talking and we are also responsible for the new direction that it will take. Let's wake up Africa!
