Samuel Obeng Badu frequently gets referred to as "Bro. Samuel" in public. I was born in a little town in the Western Region's Prestea Huni Valley Constituency. I obtained a Social Work and Education degree from the University of Ghana. I've been a dedicated and vivacious leader who hopes to one day be the Hope of Africa, the Future of Ghanaian Youth, and the Story of the World.
Bro. Samuel is a self-driven individual with a solid attitude to handle pressure and completes his tasks without delay when necessary.
I believe that young people have many ideas and that, given the chance, they can make a significant contribution to society in a variety of ways. For this reason, I support the youth. I've written a lot of articles, and this one is AFRICA AS ONE
The long-awaited moment for the African continent to unite as one has finally arrived. The continent of Africa, which is frequently referred to as the "cradle of civilization," is abundant in natural riches, cultural diversity, and unrealized potential. However, it has long been racked by internal strife, political unrest, and economic inequalities, some of which were brought on by the west or the Europeans acting out of self-interest. This is one thing I am really thrilled about: in recent years, there has been a growing push towards African unification, with several African nations making serious attempts to promote regional integration and cooperate towards a common objective.
The need to support the mission is higher because African unification offers greater advantages. The mission has made significant headway and is succeeding, and in my opinion, the advantages of a unified Africa will be incalculable.
The history of Africa is characterised by colonisation and the following arbitrary division of the continent along racial, linguistic, and cultural lines. Conflicts have continued due to this split, which has also hampered economic growth. This gave the west the chance to cause the destruction they are currently causing to us. African unity is a strategy for overcoming past wrongs and creating a shared identity
Numerous battles, civil wars, and inter-state disputes have plagued Africa throughout the years, resulting in terrible human misery and obstructing progress. We as the United States of Africa can collectively address the core causes of conflicts, foster discussion, and build methods for conflict resolution if we unite today—to which I call all—to help achieve that. This would promote security and peace across the continent and provide a favourable atmosphere for the advancement of our development.
We in Africa have enormous natural resource reserves, including minerals, oil, gas, and other commodities. For this reason, France has been meddling in the governance of several African nations day in and day out. The region has had trouble maximising its economic potential because of a lack of infrastructure, technical breakthroughs, and fragmented markets. Through regional integration and collaboration, we may come together as one, work towards a shared objective, pool resources, establish infrastructure, and open up bigger markets for trade and investment. This would result in greater economic expansion, the production of jobs, and higher living conditions for us Africans.
The time has come to work together for greater political power. In order to address challenges like climate change, peacekeeping, and international trade, a unified Africa would have a stronger voice on the international stage. Additionally, it would enable closer diplomatic coordination and teamwork to safeguard African interests.
African nations may successfully combat cross-border security concerns including terrorism, piracy, and organised crime by cooperating with one another. Sharing intelligence, participating in coordinated military drills, and coordinating border controls would improve regional security and protect African inhabitants' well-being.
Africans would be able to learn from one another's customs, languages, and histories if they lived in a united Africa, which would encourage cultural interchange. Through the dismantling of racial and cultural boundaries and the promotion of a common African identity, this would promote a sense of unity and belonging.
The drive for African unification reflects the continent's resolve to get over its past conflicts, advance peace and stability, and realise its enormous potential.
Africa awakening is now. I know that Kwame Nkrumah, Gaddafi and others will be smiling in their graves now. Greetings to Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso, Colonel Assimi Goita of Mali, Julius Malema, leader of EFF, President Museveni, President Mamadi and all others fighting a good course for the betterment of mother Africa. President Nana Addo Dankwa of my homeland Ghana, More Grace. God bless Africa
