...Entrepreneurs make up the majority of Africans and a lot of them thrive and live in its heart; a place called Nigeria. For years we have failed Africa and haven't delivered on our promises and worst we have been losing our human resources as some of our neighbors lose their natural resources. Some where on twitter land today-a well know Venture capitalist asked a very intriguing question- How does #africa move from "From Prototyping to Production?"
...Here is what I think. Africa needs to understand that without industries- all the prototypes we make will end up looking like rag dolls in an antique shop. We should either invite VC companies that will invest in Entrepreneurs that are ready to set up industries or we should be willing to invest in our own Human Resources ourselves and provide them with creative financial schemes to help them launch successful start up manufacturing stations that will become the backbone to a future Africa with working industries....
There is virtually no reason for every promising Nigerian to travel out and live in places like Dubai or New York or even Paris. But now- this is the case- and many end up been in trouble for no reason other than the will to survive. Where are we going to now and what are we going to do about the youths that have dreams of owning production houses or even better owning industries. We need to use creativity as a means to succeed in business and the only way to do this is by believing in the vast human resources known as African youths.....
