I am 33 years old & i love seeing so much of Africa really grow into it’s rightful spot in the world. The progress countries like Nigeria, Kenya, or Ghana have made just within my lifetime has been truly amazing to witness (even from afar, I live in Canada). You see so much of the world going in the opposite direction but this is the reality for a lot of countries in Africa, obviously not perfect, you have places (like much the rest of the current world) such as Sudan & South Africa (where my grandpa is from) going backwards. But the spirit, ingenuity, & smiles of the African peoples are unparalleled though - I witness it constantly with my own eyes. While so much of the world feels despair I still see (most of) Africa as a place of hope.

When people compare Lagos to New York, they are usually referring to the cities' vibrant energy, fast pace, and cultural diversity. Both cities are known for their bustling streets, dynamic nightlife, and a mix of people from all over the world. For example, one person might say "Lagos is like New York in its energy. It's a city that never sleeps. There's always something going on, and you can feel the electricity in the air." Another person might say "Lagos is like New York in its diversity. You can find people from all walks of life in both cities, and it's this mix of cultures that makes them so special and exciting." While Lagos and New York are both major global cities, they also have their own unique identities and cultures. However, the overall impression of these two cities is one of energy, excitement, and diversity.

I set up a non profit several years ago - it provides training in software and IT virtually and we have a large group of young Nigeriana working through the training. The focus, aligns to what one of the young men said - people prefer to stay in their own country if possible. That is exactly the intent of our non profit. A few of the team have jobs now in their local cities in Nigeria. They developed and are developing software systems for hospitals. One current project is automating the blood transfusion system in a hospital in Northern Nigeria. So proud of them. What i like is that the hospitals have given local young people the opportunity to provide such systems - rather than outsourcing the work to an international firm.

Finally a "Brave-Heart" (Adebayo Akande) willing to tackle this debilitating culture of bribery and corruption. It is high time that the days of "Dash" come to an end. I applaud this young politician and hope that his policies will soon be the norm in other states all over Nigeria. Transparency Accountability always!🤔 BTW, one can never forget the lyrics to Fela Kuti's "Authority Stealing" & "**Look & Laugh", specifically: "Contractor and minister or commissioner make agreement to make road All of us know how long government dey take make road for here Then the road start as dem don put machine, sands and stones As de road start Shagari make announcement, contractor sef make he own Contractor say as the economy don' go, things don cost so road must stop Government say "no more money", contractor say "no more road" Contractor GO government STAY!"🤨 28:47 i could not believe my ears. After all these years of knowing Nigeria as a prolific oil-producing country, in 2024 I discover that Nigeria had never refined her own produce!? Still, I am equally relieved and happy to hear that Mr. Aliko Dangote is doing what EVERY gov't regime since Nigeria gained independence from the British has failed to do. Blessings for him! 32:16 I am totally in love with this granny and would thoroughly enjoy spending the day listening to her stories of her youth. Long May She Live & Prosper in the Best of Health and Love.🙂
