People have always asked me why I am always SO OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUR CONTINENT'S ECONOMIC FUTURE...and my answer has always been because I am a student of Dr.Nkrumah.
As far back as the the 50's,this Great and Noble African told his fellow Africans that WE POSSESS fifty-three of the world's most important basic industrial PRECIOUS MINERALS and METALS....and that if Africa's multiple RESOURCES were used in her own development,they could place her
among the modernized countries of the world.
To the FIRST WORLD WE SUPPLY the following propotions of basic materials used in their industries:
Uranium
Gold
Diamonds
Copper
tin ore and concentrates
iron ore
manganese
bauxite
chrome ore
asbestos
cobalt,cotton,sisal,zinc ore lead phosphates and phosphorites AND OIL
Africa also controls more than 40 percent of the world's potential water power,a greater share than any other continent.Yet less than 5% of this volume has been utilized.
Given all this vast potential Dr.Nkrumah concluded that "BLACK AFRICA's UNDERDEVELOPMENT IS NOT SOMETHING ORDAINED BY GOD".
In his farsightedness, Kwame saw the need for an ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION to find ways and means to start PROCESSING OUR OWN NATURAL PRECIOUS AND NATURAL GOD GIVEN RESOURCES.
It is nearly 47 sad years since his overthrow by the CIA,and NOT one PROCESSING PLANT has bee built to harness any of the MINERAL RESOURCES that continues to flow out of our shores.
SO YES,INDEED, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT OUR UNTAPPED NATURAL AND PRECIOUS RESOURCES CAN AND WILL BE ABLE TO FUEL AFRICA'S ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION
THE QUESTION IS WHY ARE WE STILL SO
IMPOVERISHED?
TO ANSWER THIS PERRENIAL QUESTION
WE MUST AGAIN RE-VISIT THE OSAGYEFO
"AFRICA NEEDS A NEW TYPE OF MAN
TO FIND HIM WE MUST FIRST CHANGE
OUR ATTITUDES AND OUR MINDS"
This my friends is not news but a reality.

AFRICAN CAN ONLY LIVE TO EXPECTATION ''ONLY'' THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF TECNOLOGY AND INNOVATION IN THE PROCESSING OF ITS NATURAL RESOURCES FOR VITAL SERRVICES ON THE CONTINENT.
EXPORT ALONE OF NATURAL RESOURCES ARE NOT THE ANSWERS OF AN ECONOMIC MIRACLE IN AFRICA.
ITS ONLY NEW THINKING THAT WILL FOSTER NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND POSSIBILITIES TO ALLEVIATE DESTITUTION AND EXTREME POVERTY ON THE CONTINENT:
