African Vision Song Contest: A Possibilty Perhaps?

Income generating funds are mined and manipulated and executived by the developed countries. Have African also considered hosting something similar to unite us closer?

As one follows the programme it become obvious about the benefits these contest bring into a country.

 Setting a competition of this kind, first of all motivate the a country to be more creative and be individualistic among nations challenges

 It brings the best out of people and unites a community to co-ordinate activities.

 It provides a medium for the youth across Africa to network and work together for a shared goal.

 If Africa were to be engaged in such a contest it would be like the beauty contest within nations were the youth and the middle aged would unite and share the trials and tribulations of losing or winning.  African youths lack the zeal for a real challenge; though football is offering some sort of such competitiveness they still need that challenge. .  African vision song contest would market our culture heritage to the international world and headhunters would also be ready to spot talents.

 This would be a true opening of exposure to many to fame and glory.

 African should start like the developed world and only pick up initiatives, which would benefit our youth?s future potential on the global world.

 The Ghana Broad Casting Corporation Directors may need to send in their staff to work as a guest workers with the BBC so that some of their programme on wild life, Euro Visions song Contest presentation could be emulated. Why invent the wheel when we could learn from the big players tghus saving our ever limited resources.

 Our brothers and sisters all over Africa look to Ghana for inspiration so let us pull them in to join to form a Euro Vision Song Contest like in Africa with as slogan ?African Vision Song Contest.?

 This would sharpen the youth imaginations, creativity, innovation and also uplift the self esteem and self worth of whole of Africa.

 Challenges a country to think of which agencies would be interetsed in sponsorship deals to promote the challenge an area Africa is perhaps novice at.

 Eventually Africa could compete on the global market with its wealth in the music industry..

 It is Africans who need to shout and say we are also interested in such contest otherwise Africa would always be an after thought.

 The music and entertainment industry may need to seriously consider this approach.

 Writers and publishers could write up books about the vents in the different countires in the way of the selection process and preaprations for the contest.

 Well, this is only an idea but what are peoples? thoughts?
