It is the future that many look at, its the future that matters much. When we talk about African youths' future we should know we also talk about the African continent future. I mean in order to see a bright future of Africa continent we must make sure we have a bright future for the young people of Africa.
The African governments must realize the importance of the youth in their countries, they should make sure they create an atmosphere where by the youth can learn about their country and Africa in general, they should do their best to help the youth build patriotism towards their countries and continent in general.
If you try to ask just some of the African youth about what they feel to be in Africa and maybe if they get some thousands dollars what will they do you will find most of them talking about leaving Africa for abroad mainly the west, we should be shameful of this, the main reason is that the governments have leave back the idea of looking for a way to create a patriotic ideas in the minds of its youth who assures the future of their countries and the African continent.

What I want to say to my African leaders who mostly are old people is that the future of Africa lies in your hands, the way you treat or behave towards the youths, it has a great effects in our minds, we, youths. When I hear about corruption scandals against our African leaders it hurts me, and furthermore its discouraging. Is it true? I pray for it to be lies.
We should know that the youths are people who like to take an older person mistake as an authorization to misbehave. And it also discourage patriotism, humans love good praises it hurts to be a patriotic of a corrupted and poor country.
The governments must show that they real mean when they talk about bringing development to their countries, cause if nothing changes the youth will be the first to judge and out of it they may hate to be born in their countries, and you can guess what will next happen.

WILL WE WIN THE BATTLE AGAINST H.I.V AIDS?
Every 17 seconds a girl is raped in South Africa. That is what I heard from Aljazeera News English, something like early December. It's an astonishing thing. If this wont be taken seriously i'm not sure if we will accomplish what we are calling an H.I.V free Africa. We should understand this means more than 5000 galz are raped each day and if we look properly at the ratio of H.I.V infection in SA it means more than 180ppl are affected each day now multiply that number by 365, the numbers are astonishing.! Something must be done, according to Aljazeera there are no tight laws against raping. Laws, very tight laws. The government must show its real serious when it comes to such matters. And in social point of view the society must understand the importance of good treaty to raped victims, its time to think even for a second what would you feel if you were in her shoe. Education to the people must be given priority, this will help to remove the evil beliefs such as raping a young girl/child can help to cure H.I.V. Leaders at different levels should participate in campaigns against H.I.V, from tribal leaders, community leaders, religious leaders to government leaders. I believe if youth will be given the first priority in matters concerning H.I.V AIDS them the battle will be ours. We will win. I believe an H.I.V free population can be created!
