YOUTHS AND THE USE OF THE MIND? By Anago James Akeem Osho

What is wrong with young peoples minds? Nothing is wrong but scale of preference and values, either tangible or non tangible. Physical or spiritual. When you go back to history and see where we are coming from. You may realize that Africans and youths of the world are daily polluting their minds with activities that are devoid of development. Yet, not all youths are engaged in such animosity. Some think they are better and know more than others because of their religious affiliation? It is glaring that the sacred books taughr us better than that. Do not follow men, follow the divine and use your mind creatively for the development of the earth.

The hope of Africa for instance are its outstanding youths. In every land on the African continent that i have traveled to, the youths are not empowered and they just watch and try to survive by ''doing anything'', traveling abroad to make ends meet and care for their families and often time meet their water loo. 

See what is going on in Libya as young Africans are sold in public. Slavery continues in Mauritania and the slaves are Black. No one is talking about the Arabs, Chinese etc. taking over Africa. It is a conscious effort. The youth seems not to be aware or care less about events around them but seems to have forgotten that they are the miracle and hope that the continent seek.

I am going to Togo right now and my heart is heavy. Tears befall me like rainfall. Where is the dream of Fidel Castro for Africa. Is it wrong to say that we have failed each other and greediness and lust have become our clothes.

I am not a saint but the events around make me think about the future of my children and the hope of those who died for the freedom and the development of Africa.

It seems the youth in Africa do not know that they are betraying the Ancestors as they troop in to watch European football and Latin soap operas and the politicians are having a fulfilling era exploiting the continent with their foreign contemporaries.

All the changes and revolutions that took place in the world were organized by youths. Is there hope as Youths and politicians in Africa today are after materialism often bought from the neo-colonialist countries?

Family, stop watching and let's act.

Hey there! As you watch European football and gamble, remember that what goes around comes around. Nothing is wrong with loving sports but walk the ladder of economics and follow the scale of preference.

African youth.. Wake up!
