The time for poverty to be the face of Afrika has come to an end!
The era of prosperity, peace and  progress as the composite image of Afrika must now begin.

Poverty is not Afrikan and it has never been the identity of Afrika or of the great Afrikans. it has been an  effect of the multiple shocks that Afrika and Afrikans have experienced in the forms of invasions and divisions from the north and south, east and west and then within Afrika leaving Afrikans with the broken pieces of their once flourishing civilizations.

Afrika was the home of the richest civilizations of the world: the very home to all world civilizations, yet...

...today, poverty, wars and diseases have left Afrikans wondering if life is worth living, if it is a curse to be Afrikan a disadvantage to be black?

That while the rest of the world has mostly being built with shining cities glowing with beautiful skyscrapers, everyday innovations, more than enough to eat, we find Afrika mostly struggling to keep power on, to get good education, to get a mosquito free sleep and decent housing while Afrikan Youths cross hot deserts and deep seas to get to other parts of the world to live a better life, only to be enslaved by foreigners in their own land on their way out, and to be treated like servants all over the world.

Shall the glorious past of Afrika remain a forgotten past?

Time has come for we Afrikans to say that this degradation of Afrikans shall continue no more, and for that:

We must take the bull by the horn; Unite, cooperate together for the revival of Afrikan progress;

We must identify our problems, solve them one after the other till we have Uhuru: peace, Progress and prosperity laden Afrika;

Rebuilt cities, advanced technology, restoration of Afrikan legacies we must continue to count achieved objectives till we lose count of Progress made, till we lead Afrikans from Last to First; worst to best;

And the glory of Afrikans gets restored all over the world,
 and all people of Afrikan descent be proud to call Afrika home and want to return home

Let us all join the Afrikan Age-Grade to declare:
"This is the end of poverty in Afrika"
let the prosperous Afrika be born again
Let God bless Afrika
Afrika Unite!
