Crafting Genuine Youths For a Transformed Africa
An Action Above Mediocrity
The incidence of greed and self-gratification has shifted the mantra of ‘people first’ to self. In this case, with the current surge in corruption sweeping the globe, single-party dominance has become a curse to human development. In this way, the words of Desiderius Erasmus: “In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king”, can become self-evident when the wishes of rulers are left unscathed.
About the Book
In as much as youth are pivotal to the promotion of a conducive socio-political climate, they are also consequential refiners of cultures and traditions, pacifiers of peace and stability, and custodians of the essential norms and values of civilised societies. All these postulates can only happen if youth fearlessly wield and brandish a collaborative sword of global initiative.
This book is aimed at the young people of Africa and the world beyond. It is hoped they will take cognizance of the fact that it is through having divergent views on the political, educational, social and economic fronts that a truly transformed world order abounding in peace and happiness can be released. Above all, the notions that youth are mere followers or receptacles of outdated principles and sentiments in order to meet the global evaluation index, is a narrow-minded perception. This book places the youth as co-players and co-owners of the contemporary era and beyond.
Enjoy your ride as you unpack the realities and worthiness of crafting and shaping genuine youth who can steer true and natural democracies on our continent and throughout the world, where rivulets of chaos and injustice flow beyond imaginable mythical foundations.
