Official synopsis Publisher
This book highlights the current decisions we are presently making, especially the third world countries of Africa. This is an awareness piece to Africa, letting them rethink their decisions be you an individual, government, state, country, or nation. This book is an encouragement to all leaders and masses to be actively present in their decision-making. The African mind has been conditioned to think the West is better. We are all good in our own right. We follow the Western ways, and by doing so they are still ahead of us while we gradually erode. What the West sees on media and history is how they see our ways. They forget we as Africans emerge and grow from what history has taught society to believe. Our solution must come from within us Africans only if we are ready to embrace the fact that we can. Our ways are different, that’s why the Western solutions are not working for us; rather, it has put us in more debt. We can’t plug the Western solutions into the African challenges. Changing our structures and systems using Western solutions, be it nature, policies and our community, will change our ways. As we are making these decisions, we should be aware of the processes involved. We should be aware of the history we are making in the present for future African generations. The battles the past generations refuse to fight will be fought by future generations. How can they fight if they are not taught, informed, and equipped by the past generations?
