    The Future Is African

    Projections show that by 2050, Africa’s population will double. By 2100, one in three people on Earth will be African. This means that, by the end of the century, sub-Saharan Africa—which already has an extraordinarily young population—will be home to almost half of the young people in the world.

    Will this Africa’s youth boom be a blessing or a curse?

    The African youth boom could either be a blessing or a curse depending on our preparedness to make good use of that human resources. If as a continent, we deliberately pay attention to human capacity building of the youths as well as youths empowerment in preparation of the future boom, I believe with God, innovations etc the boom would be a huge blessing rather than a curse

    Exactly!! But how do we prepare ourselves in your own opinion? in a situation where the leaders are paying less attention.
