This is what he had to say about "the kind of Africa he would like to see"
 

"The kind of Africa I would like to see"

I believe that Africa's future lies in the hands of its youth! Where the youth take greater responsibility for their future - where the words young and indifferent must no longer be synonymous with the African Continent.

The youth must become the trustees of prosperity, where they take charge, inspire and motivate each other with possibilities and not with threats. Where true and deliberative democracy thrives, where there is greater opportunities for openness, reflection, deep conversations, personal mastery and a shared vision for the Continent. Where we develop greater confidence in principles than in personalities and encourage independence of thought and greater accountability for action.

I want a generation of youth who develop formidable persistence and determination to achieve what they want for a prosperous Africa - and this I believe is achievable. Remember we have to set in motion inspirational leadership from 2010 and beyond if we are to encourage this change.
