And since then, we have been seeing that our African leaders have been slow and they are all looking for their own interests or that of their people above the main goal of the bloc. And as you can notice the other day "the African Union has held an Extraordinary Summit on the African Continental Free Trade( CFTA), Kigali, Rwanda which aimed at creating a single continental market for goods and services ,with free movement of business persons and investments
However, the heavy weight Nigeria decided to walk away from this summit and did not sign for this treaty which is a total setback .
Lovely readers ,what is your take on Nigeria position? And how efficient have you seen AU actions up to date? Are they really meeting the AU goals as K. Nkrumah wanted it or by far Muammar Gaddafi?
Eagerly waiting for your views.
Good Piece
ReplyDeleteI like this education
The first president of Ghana, Nkrumah led the movement that gained Ghana's independence from the United Kingdom in 1957.An influential Pan- Africanist he believed in uniting Africa under a single government
If you ask me, little is being done about the development of the continent. I believe it's time the AU stops stating it's problems and start to device new strategies in trying to solve it's problems. Blaming problems for pitfall does not guarantee solution
ReplyDeleteYeah Bene u are right. It's high time they became conscious of themselves and start looking beyond by taking decisions that can uplift us on the continent
ReplyDeleteTrue Rep but because of their selfishness they never did anything towards this great vision that K. Nkrumah was championing
ReplyDeleteIt’s not that they didn’t help him look most African countries at the time recently gained independence so I can argue that they needed to focus on their short term goals which is their state before moving onto the bigger picture
ReplyDelete'Walking the talk' is the only way forward if we are to gain anything from these Summits.
ReplyDeleteThe question is Africa ready For change? We need to change our mindset h
ReplyDeleteFriendship u are right but those that gained independence recently are only few out of many and the heavy weights that got theirs earlier could have done something long ago to achieve this precious vision. But gradually,instead of trying to activate it little by little they rather decided to kill it out of greediness.
ReplyDeleteFoka it's true but how to make it happen is their only problem.
DeleteDre u are right. Our mindset should be the first thing that we have to change.
ReplyDeleteIf we continue to put this self centered leaders into power, there is no way Africa will progress..they all wana be at the top n comand power without 4syte rather for their personal gains..
ReplyDeleteUntil now, I still can't find any leader worthy to fit in Nkrumah's shoes.

ReplyDeleteMr Gabi i totally agree with ur view. Instead of putting people's interests first they rather put their first and we end up in Chaos. So Sad
ReplyDeleteSteron we will be praying until God provides us one that will be even more ambitious than Nkrumah that will certainly deliver us from these so called African leaders
ReplyDeleteIt's Sad..... Well done
ReplyDeleteThx Annie
ReplyDeleteWord
ReplyDeleteSo powerful
ReplyDeleteWell, that's another issue facing Africa. Dr. Nkrumah said the black man was capable of managing his own affairs but as you have raised, Mensah, it's as if our learned leaders don't know what to do as a great unit. O mother Africa!
ReplyDelete😳😳ok so I feel that was weird 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
