Let's give African children sense of pride. The leaders are doing it so wrong that the youth both home and away find it so hard to associate with their origin. They often ask questions that we parents hardly can give answers to.
Child: Why is Africa so poor?
Parent: Oh no, Africa is rich.
Child: In what?
Parent: In all.
Child: Why are people suffering and many "running away" from there?
Parent: Uhmmm.., sad. But she's rich and nice: only that the leaders are unruly and selfish.
Child: How? Don't they have children?
Parent: They do, but cater only for their immediate family and few friends.
Child: Sad.
Parent: Very sad! but things will change soon.
Child: How soon?
Parent: Hopefully the soon is now; the time to question the leaders and hold them accountable for what they have done and what they are still doing. Time for us to rescue our land from the hands of the careless ones and finally have a sense of pride and belonging.
