What if...........?


Lemme start by saying that there's no harm in dreaming and imagining what we desire in our heart of hearts. It's in record that most of the great inventors and achievers of all times were big dreamers and those who have a capacity to imagine things which were later termed ideas/technologies.
What if we were imagining more than we usually do? What if we had the ability to bring our dreams to fulfilment? What if Africa, the most natural place in th whole world, was a thousand times richer and more peaceful than the greatest parts of the world? What if you had the capacity to achieve that which you really strongly felt you could achieve? What if Bill Gates were an African? Would that change the way Africa is? What if we had very smart leaders like Bill Clinton instead of araldite-butted people like Omar Bongo, Yoweri Museveni, Robert Mugabe and the likes? What if the GDP of every African country was higher than that of the richest nations in the world? Would Africans be scattered all over the world as they are today?
What if our past and present leaders were visionary and not myopic in thinking? What if the successes/achievements/feats of the developed world were those of Africa? Would you be thinking the way you are thinking today about where you are from and what you can do? What if there are no more wars in DRC, Ivory Coast and no more stupidity in Zimbabwe? What if Africa was in the forefront of technological improvement in the world, would we close our eyes to see other poor nations/continents of the world and allow them continue to wallow in abject poverty? What if bloggers can just do their thing without being at one another's throat?
Then it comes to the more serious What ifs...?
What if you and I could work a little harder to bring just a lil bit more success to our coming generation?
What if you and I could ensure corruption is reduced to the barest minimum around us and in Africa in whatever capacity we have?
What if you could spare a pound, dollar, euro, franc, lira, rubbles, rands, naira,...whatever.... to the things that can help secure a greener future for our kids and ourselves in particular?
What if you knew that you could be more successful than Bill Gates if you just spent some time to give it a thought?
What if you found out that your grandmother before she died willed untold and stupendous riches to your old-fashioned mother?

It's confirmed that the only person needed to change a world and bring order is YOU, because you control your world and the whole wide world is an international network of worlds.

What if you would just do what is expected of you to do, would there be any problem anymore?
What if you had something to say about everything? It's free!!

If Africa were the richest and most powerful continent in the world the white man would bow down to us and you know they definetly dont want to do that.

Find a worthy cause, market it and sell your idea in order to get people to contribute especially we africans.
Anyway we live in a "every man for himself" society. We are just to selfish
