Crafting Genuine Youths for a Transformed Africa: An Action Above Mediocrity (ePub)

With the current astronomical surge in corruption sweeping the globe, single-party dominance has become a curse to human development.

Single-party dominance is preferred in most post-war colonial countries in Africa. But no human being is perfect, and if political parties are run by fallible people, then ruling parties should be girded by strong and vigilant surveillance networks. As the inheritors of the future, the youth must nurture democratic principles which curb greed and self-enrichment. Corruption and single-party hegemony are bed fellows-and it's time to change the bed.

Directed at the youth, leaders, and the poor and rich alike, in this book the author confronts:

• Constitutions set ablaze by ruling parties
• Dictators groomed by voters
• Frequent elections marred by intimidation tactics
• Millions in poverty, despite seas of plenty
• How the common people's voices are silenced
• How so few benefit from systems of greed

And in his clear and striking voice, the author asserts some vital truths about the youth and their untapped power in tackling these issues.

• The youth install or uninstall parties according to the content of their character
• The youth are pivotal to change and transformation
• The youth become watchdogs of the political process
• The youth will stand for any party that delivers
• Elections should be a means to an end
• Every party is destined to serve

This book cherishes Desiderius Erasmus's famous words: "In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
A work of substance and crucial exploration, this book is a must for anyone who has looked into the eyes of the young, and seen the power of the future.
