İt's my first time hearing about the University. İ hope that their vision is fulfilled. We really have to tackle Africa's biggest problem; bad leadership

Coming from Asia, I have to say that education is definitely the key to escape poverty in my experience. Very ambitious project for a whole continent.

There is reason to be optimistic because development is not a linear process. In the modern world good ideas spread quickly, and Africa has the critical mass of talented, visionary people with enough will power and resources to make things happen. Cheering for this from Italy.

I’m AFRICAN- american. Seeing this video makes me SOOOO damn happy! I know and believe AFRICA will soon be the richest continent on the planet. Not just in natural resources.

Good video, we are big fans of your work, please email us for a chat on partnership and collaboration.

Now that's what I am talking about, positive action, not mere words. Heart to the brother. It's high time AFRICA be unites within itself.

A very good course. He should invite African inventors, designers, idealists visionaries and innovators who are based outside Africa for sometime to share their knowledge and experiences that they've gained.

So encouraging to hear what's happening in Africa. It's only a matter of time before we take our rightful position in this world. Such brilliance and vision its absolutely amazing.

I’m very excited about Africa’s future. I work with young people here in Canada who’s goal is to eventually move back to change the lives of their communities. It will be a slow process but it will happen.

I really love what you are doing! How can we get involved and or partner with you?

I'm a white Australian and I genuinely want to study there soon! 🖖🖖🏿

I heard about ALU and it is really moving things forward for Africans and hope it will succeed and produce next african leaders who have Africa first in their hearts and not to be selfish with money or fame.

I am very optimistic, Africa is rising!! Our Education Fabric has to be tailored towards relevance to African problems... This is soo good. This is indeed the Harvard of Africa, if I may put it that way...

I think that is the right way to get Africa to the top. We need a lot more people like this brother with bold mental scope and to see what is needed to put Africa where it needs to be. He is a breath of fresh air to Africa. We in the diaspora need to know about these good investments so we can make our contributions. I'm proud of this brother.

I'm a 66 year old white male living in Iowa, USA. I've been a Baha'i for 34 years. This project is in the Baha'i spirit and genuinely exciting. My heart is with you. Whatever you do, don't stop!

I'm a Canadian Chinese and when I was a young man I spent quite a few summers in Mainland China. Seeing the poverty and seeing how China had become so backwards was truly heartbreaking. But given what has happened in the last 30 years fills me with hope and joy and I never imagined that with in my own lifetime I would see China become strong enough to re-take its rightful place in the world. Seeing a re-born and revived China is something that is truly astonishing and fills me with joy. I hope that one day Africans will have its Renaissance too, grow and develop economically and retake its rightful place in the world. Without economic development Africa will never truly be free and Africans can never be truly Masters of their own Homeland. I hope the joy that I feel will be something you feel too!

Please pray for Kenya my people, the level of corruption here is destroying the country and people's livelihood

I think Afrika needs more Swanikers now

This is fantastic news! These Africans have pinpointed the problem with a precise solution. Not only that, they are presently working on it. This should give all Africans hope.

leadership without doubt is the biggest problem that Africa has

Thanks brother. Love you Mama Africa.

So this is possible in Africa. Waoh my respect mr fred swaniker.

Great content!!! I really learned a lot, thank you!!!

Education will change the course of African future

I love your channel ❤ from South Africa

Very exciting! My friend is studying his MBA at ALU! Didnt realise the background of the university! Thanks for explaining! So excited about this 😀🙌🏼 will be praying for much more success for ALU, Fred and also this amazing KZfaq channel with excellent content. God bless you all. Much love from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦

i'm a former student from ALA, it is nice to see an outside analysis on the projects Fred Swaniker has developed!

This is a fantastic initiative. Africa needs more Fred Swanikers in all areas of life to be a developed continent in the near future. We can all contribute our own bits. #thinkbigforafrica

This is fantastic. Keep up the great work and let us know how we can help with this good work. The time for Africa has come!!

Man...this channel...It’s just beautiful in every sense of the word! Really makes you have some kind of renewed confidence in Africa and want to be 100% part of all the future positive changes no matter the obstacles you will have to overcome! Looking forward to more motivational videos such as this one and all the other ones you posted so far! Keep up the good work brother/sister!

Keep up the great work on reporting about the strides Africans are taking to take us all forward

Nice storytelling, important topic where touched in order to resolve our problems and God bless Fred Swaniker for everything.

Very encouraging. I will always support african entrepreneurial mindset.

I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you so much for all your work! Keep it up.

I believe that the idea from Swanikar is incredible and I believe with such vision Africa will better than it current position. Even though his vision is on its infancy, I’m worried about how far this will last and how much support Swanikar will get from the current African leaders.

It will be good for you to get a website with a forum so after watching this insighful video to meet like minded persons and share ideas

This is BRILLIANT!!!!!!! I WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS!!!!!!!!

I'm glad there's African young visionaries out there willing to build initiatives like this. We definitely should support them with everything we've got. Corrupt leadership is really the bane of Africa's development. We've tried all sorts of militant ways to force change from the top to no avail. This young man's approach of changing the mindset of the youth is certainly a new approach. My question is how do these smart people get into strategic positions where they can actually foster change? In many African countries, politics is a minefield full of psychopaths willing to do anything to get into and maintain power. And the majority of the electorate is poor and ill educated. Thus they are more prone to elect these machievallian characters who shower them with chunk change during election campaigns. Change will be more possible if it starts from the grassroots. Maybe this university could also train their scholars on how to do grass roots level civil education that aims to change the culture from the ground up. If people at the grass roots level refuse bribes and only pay attention to leaders who deliver, then it would make it difficult for upcoming leaders to simply buy their way into power. A change in the hearts and minds of the people is the necessary. A cultural revolution is a necessary ingredient for initiatives like this to have Continental effect. If only initiatives like this could be extended into every sector of the continent's society.

Im 100% behind a strong Africa!!

This is exactly what we need to develop Mother Africa. I attentively viewed this presentation. In my humble opinion however one important factor was overlooked, and that is agriculture. I am interested in eventually contributing to have an ALU in Botswana and Morocco.

Yes; optimistic. It will take generations but Africa will eventually secure its’ stolen seat on the world stage.

This is beautiful! I pray one day this can come to Cameroon. Its about time we had a philosophical revolution. Leave these old, backward , corrupt leaders in history.

I really pray that they get it together please because all of our lives depends on it. May The Most High be with us all!

You're consistently putting out good content on this channel. Well done for that!

Love this channel. Detailed and insightful content that we wouldn’t see else where concerning Africa. Would love to support this channel and help promote videos.

this is my favorite youtube channel,

Other countries are bound to follow his model. Good things ahead for Africa.

My brother we need you to do more of these videos and please if you can we have a lot that needs publicizing in Africa from the Zimbabwean situation and xenophobia in neighboring SA to the crisis in the Sudan area. we need an African perspective on all these issues and you seem to know what you are doing...much love ✊

Great news and I love every bit of it. I will attend this great institution soon. I am so pride to hear about it.

Very Optimistic!!!.....LETS GET IT , ITS REHAB TIME💪💪💪👏💓💓

Fred Swaniker is an angel!

You have a great channel my friend. Great content that I look forward to hearing and watching. No challenge is stronger than Africa.

This is Awesome, very optimistic!

Another African hero💪🏿

That is a very good topic. If Africa is rise to the challenge, then the sort of APC leaders, Islamic lunatics in Nigeria, must not be allowed to permanente or meddle with this idealogy. I say this as a University teacher, a critical thinker and a public intellectual.

Brilliant! Keep it up. Much love 💕 from Nigeria .

I know those leaders that our continent desperately needs are watching this.

Wow, imagine someone not wanting to be a leader himself but instead training future leaders. Totally noble and selfless act. He may not even live to see the full fruits of the seeds he’s planting (it will take few generations) but for sure it will happen!!!

I love what you are doing brother. I nod my head to you in deep respect!

Really Nice video! Can't wait for a video in 5 years with a "where are they now" Theme! Can you make a new video on the east african federacy?

Wow ! See this video one year after it was made gives me reasons to hope and be optimistic about Africa. Not seeing things happening doesn't mean things are not happening really. Thank u bro your the good info🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ashesi University in Ghana is another example. Love the video!

greatful for him!

Thank you for insight into new education system' we need more vocational education programs to allow people to work for themselves and create jobs and not this graduates programs to look for jobs' which in fact create high unemployment and retrenchment at sometimes. Viva my African brothers mostly in forefront and few sisters who unselflessly willing to invest their wisdom' capital' resources' efforts to transform Africa. May God bless you all.

ALU sounds really great. I think its growth will result in African growth as well.

Fred Swanika 's initiative is a good one. He is thinking about preparing for the future opportunities and challenges. I am optimistic about Africa's future if we many of we the youth think in like manner

You should do a collaboration kugali it's a African based indie company that tells sci-fi and fantasy story's based off african culture.

Yes Mr Swaniker, great idea to establish an elite educational system in Africa. If I had a child in these times I would be encouraging that child to aim to attend. Fantastic 👏🏾👏🏾. I live in London and it’s a big deal that a black student attends Oxford or Cambridge, which is all well and good but this system is more attractive to my mind. I am sure there are black millionaires who could sponsor this.

This is a great channel. I hope this leadership iniciative works out. As someone from South America I see the many similarities between our history, I hope we can all rise above our current predictaments.

Great channel. I expect that Africa will develop a lot in the next year. I wish my country policymakers, I'm from Brazil, were more aware of the opportunities Africa has and will have. Here, in Latin America, we had the same problems of terrible leadership and institutions in the early years after our independences.

Love this from Biafra

MY Optimism Is Very High. Simply because the catalyst to change starts with one step the journey of a 1000 miles also begins with one 'Simple step. I believe.

This is awesome

Have been watching this video over and over again. It's so inspiring. Despite everything I'm so excited for Africa's future because of this move by Fred.

I’m really excited to see how everything turns out. Can you make development videos about sierra Leone please.

3yrs later, I benefitted from the ALX-T Udacity Cloud Developer program. 🤝🏽👏🏽

PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK; PEOPLE NEED TO SEE ALL THIS!

Outstanding idea. Just outstandingly brilliant project.

This!!! This Just gives me How Africa can shine Just like the beatiful Sun that does it, HOPE

So inspiring .

Africa needs to be connected to the internet... This helps solve learning problem

The military represents everything a nation is. No matter what you create you must be able to protect it too.

This is awesome!

Exceptionally informative and inspiring. Thank you.

I love the content you share and am always excited to see & learn more. To answer to your question: I am optimistic about the new generation of African leaders.

I love your publication videos. Keep it rolling

I love your channel. I can't tell how many videos I've watched. I'm so sleepy right now... Maybe one more will do. Thanks

Amazing production! Beautiful video with fantastic info, synthesis, and analysis. Excellent work! ♥️🌍🙌🏿💯

This is a wonderful inovative.

Hi i feel its a great idea to create leadership of pure african leaders and not outsiders, this will help create development all over africa.

Great work

Please do a video about Mmusi Maimane!

the embers of hope catching fire. thanks for the content. definitely spreading the news on ALU.

Love this brother! Let's keep promoting Africa to the world. Africa is definitely waking up. We are slowly getting rid of the bad leaders who are responsible for all the problems our continent is face with. Africa will definitely unite very soon because it is very clear to see with all the different developments that we have been experiencing in these past few years! I love Africa and my people so much. I'm from Liberia by the way! 🙏🏿🇱🇷♥️💪🏿

A visionary Ghanaian young man ... And his own people hardly hear of Him. When will my people celebrate their own ??? Dab3n ???

I'm from Egypt, I hope ALU will have a campus at our country instead of all those international universities. The problem is that Egyptians tend to study abroad and never return, either that or they prefer foreign education instead of local ones.

This is great.

All Africa needs is a few countries to follow up on Swaniker's ideals to start up a chain reaction across the whole continent. People want what works and try to follow and copy it even if it is never perfect it will be a good start.

This is an absolutely video, seeing growth like this is wonderful. I really dislike the image the world has of Africa and Africans ,this just goes to show them how successful Africa is and can be.

I think Africa is going to be alright, not only is the bright African mind awakening on the continent but us second generation African immigrants living abroad also think about helping our home countries and continent in general. People really don't know that Africa is the future.
