FOR THE LOVE OF THE CONTINENT

Today i celebrate AU day.A day which is conceptualised as the birthmark of African Unity. As a continent we need to reflect on our past. Where we came from, where we have gotten to and where we are going.

Some school think , The prosperity of Africa is impossible. We can never have sustainable development as a continent.But i have always argued against this notion. I believe in a day where this continent will full of honey.

That day will come but it will be unfortunate that i might not see that day. I will be dead and gone. Therefore whiles i am alive today, i need to contribute my quota to make the Africa i dream of a reality.

As a Ghanaian and an African i need to uphold the integrity of my nation and the continent. I have to be a great thinker,  thinker of great thought to change the face of Ghana and Africa.

In a speech at the opening Ghana National College  ( Osagyefo's own school) , Nkrumah urged all students to consider  laziness a crime. It is in the same vein i ask all citizens to consider Laziness a crime and help build this nation and continent.

If you are a student, "Of what use is your education if you cannot help your country in her hour of need?" Osagyefo  said on that same where Ghana college was opened. I put before you fellow Ghanaians and Africans , OF WHAT USE IS YOUR EXISTENCE IF YOU CANNOT HELP YOUR COUNTRY AND CONTINENT IN HER OUR OF NEED?.
Do you need Bribe to do your duties?
Do you need to be begged take on your own responsibilities?.

Ghana needs you, Africa needs you,The world need you. Yes we can and i believe we Can .
