YES I AM JUST A MESSENGER, YET THE MOST HIT BY MODERN DAY SLAVERY...!!!

EVERY TIME YOU USE THEM YOU DEMOTIVATE THEM, EVERY TIME YOU ABUSE THEM, YOU ABUSE THE WORLD, YOU DO NOT MAKE GOOD USE OF THEIR EFFORTS/ENERGY/ENTHUSIASM/ CONFIDENCE/COURAGE, YOU ARE THE FACTOR BEHIND THEIR STRUGGLE BECAUSE YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR STRUGGLES... YOU MAKE THEM BE BORN... AGAIN AND AGAIN... EVEN IN THE DARKEST CORNERS WHERE ONLY A SHARP LIGHT BLINKS... YOU LEAVE THEM IN LIME LIGHT....OH MY YOUTHS OF AFRICA, MY POOR BROTHERS AND SISTERS... ARISE AND STAY AWAKE, WATCH OUT FOR THE SWINDLERS THE ENEMIES OF YOUR PROGRESS... THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR POTENTIAL AND EAGERNESS, CHOPPING YOU TO YOUR KNEES, YOU BELIEVE IN THEM, THEY SHOW YOU SPARKLING COLOURS YET NO FULFILLMENT TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND NO REWARD TO PAY YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK... FOR HOW LONG CHILDREN OF AFRICA?

FOR HOW MANY TIMES WILL YOU SUFFER THIS LOSS OF DIGNITY? LIKE IN THE TIMES OF COLONIALISM, WHIPPED AND ENSLAVED, YET WITH LITTLE ROOM FOR YOU TO SPEAK OUT, NO CHANCE AT ALL TO VOICE OUT YOUR WOES...!

SOFTLY, THEY FACE YOU, SOFTLY AND GENTLY THEY ENTICE YOU, YET STEADILY THEY DECEIVE YOU! SLOWLY, DIFFUSING YOU IN THE SMOKE OF LIES... YES LIES IN INDEED...! HOW MANY STORIES OF THAT KIND HAVE YOU HEARD YOUTH OF AFRICA? HOW MANY SONGS OF THAT TUNE? AND JUST HOW MANY ANIMALS OF THAT COLOUR HAVE YOU SEEN AND EATEN BEFORE? SO NUMEROUS, A BUNCH OF THEM... YES INDEED A BUNCH OF THEM...!

WHAT MAKES YOU TO BUY INTO THAT? OH YES! BECAUSE YOU ARE EAGER TO DO YOUR BEST IN IMPROVING YOUR WELL BEING AND THAT OF THE MANY SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF AFRICA... TO CUT THE CYCLES OF POVERTY... YOU ARE EAGER TO JUMP INTO THE WAGON NO MATTER HOW DEEP THE TUNNEL MIGHT SEEM... SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU LIVE TO CONQUER THE POVERTY SURROUNDING YOU...

AS THEY SAY NOT ALL THAT GLITTER IS GOLD... YES INDEED NOT ALL SMILING PEOPLE ARE KIND ENOUGH... KIND ENOUGH TO RESCUE YOU... FOR MANY, THEY ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR ENERGY, YOUR POTENTIAL AND READY TO CAPITALISE ON YOUR WEAKNESS... POVERTY...

WHERE IS YOUR DIGNITY YOUTH OF AFRICA... WHERE IS YOUR SO MUCH SUNG DIGNITY AND RESPECT? MAN HAS ENTHRONED HIMSELF TO ENSLAVE YOU... TO ABUSE YOU TO THE LAST BONE...

WHERE YOU INITIATE, THEY SEE A LOOP HOLE TO SIDELINE YOU AND CALL IT THEIRS... DEFILING YOUR OWN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT... SLOWLY THEY PUSH YOU OVER THE WIRE FENCE AND AT A DISTANCE YOU WATCH YOUR OWN... CAGED AND UNREACHABLE ...

WHERE YOU INNOVATE AND IMPROVE, THEY MAKE YOU MEAN AND USELESS... NOT USEFUL AT ALL YOU ARE REGARDED...

TOTALLY A CONDUIT YOU ARE IN THEIR EYES... SURELY A TOOL YOU ARE IN THEIR HANDS... ROLLED UP AND DOWN! FLIPPED LEFT AND RIGHT...! BRUISED HEAD AND FEET...!

HEADS UP! YOU KNOW NOT HOW IT FEELS TO ENJOY WHAT IS DUE TO YOU... YOU TOIL UNDER THE SHINING SUN OF THIS LOVELY CONTINENT... HURT YOUR BACK ON THAT WOODEN CHAIR OF YOUR DEEMED WORKSPACE... CRACKING DOWN ASSIGNMENTS OF THOSE TASKS... IN THE HOPE OF A BETTER DEAL... YET TO NO AVAIL...

ARISE! SAY NO TO THAT SLAVERY! PUT THAT TO HOLD, LET IT SHRINK AND DIE...

ARISE YOUTH OF AFRICA... DEMAND FOR YOUR VOICE TO BE HEARD...

REFUSE TO BE ABUSED... SAY NO TO THAT MODERN DAY SLAVERY... THAT DISCRIMINATION... ABASH

VIVA VIVA VIVA YOUTH OF AFRICA! IT MAY TAKE SOMETIME BUT YOUR LIBERATION IS COMING... CANT YOU SEE THE WAVE? GRAB IT... EXTEND YOUR HAND AND PASS IT ON... VIVA AFRICAN YOUTH...!!!

YES I AM JUST A MESSENGER, YET THE MOST HIT BY MODERN DAY SLAVERY...!!!

ENSIBUUKO: BRIDGING TECH AND AG-FINANCE

  Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an important role in enhancing the impact and performance of agricultural production and poverty alleviation by increasing productivity through new credit and financial services. Ensibuuko , a mobile and web application that helps farmers in accessing financial services is making a huge impact in Uganda as it has enabled saving and credit associations (and other financing organisations) to handle savings and make loans to smallholder farmers. Ensibuuko  was conceived over a cup of coffee between two friends in 2010. Mr. Gerald Otim and Mr. Opio Obwangamoi David shared a similar background as they were both raised in peasant farming communities. Mr. Otim had attempted to establish a microfinance organisation for farmers, but with a lot of frustration. It is from these frustrations that he and Mr David were moved to establish Ensibuuko. The solution is targeting farmer’s welfare through Savings and Credit Cooperative Organis...

CTA BROADENS SUPPORT FOR YOUNG AGRI-PRENEURS THROUGH AGRIHACK INITIATIVE

  The Challenge of weak integration of ICT in agriculture Technology  plays a great role  in enhancing advisory services, knowledge exchange, data acquisition and access to market and trade in the agricultural sector. As mobile communications technology widens and  subscriptions increase at a high rate , the opportunity to leverage the role of ICTs in agriculture for improved and sustainable agricultural development becomes more possible/obvious. However, despite the tremendous possibilities that exist, technological innovations and applications are still weakly harnessed for agricultural development. Stakeholders at the national and international levels are calling for increased actions in these areas, as articulated during the  2013 ICT4Ag Conference  organised by CTA and its partners.
