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...

You Think Youths are Useful Idiots? Hold your tongue- We are Innovators.

"Youths are jobless and them developing Apps is just something to fulfill their hobbies.” Can you imagine? That's the comment that came from one of the Delegates at the ICT4Ag 2013 International Conference, Kigali, Rwanda. Put yourself in the shoes of the the youth, sit your self on that chair, and imagine listening to a respected person, a leader and credible consultant utter those words in the full presence of the youth. Like a sharp double edged sword, they would pierce in your heart, like a sharp stick accidentally plucking your ear they would resonate. This is just an example of many other humiliations youths undergo as they struggle to achieve their career goals. Youths are usually perceived as not so serious folks, who have no direction or clearly set goals. In many cases they are used as rubber stamps, just as some useful idiots not so important. Seemingly, not so important that the world can do without them. Yet, the youth are in the fore front of the gre...

The struggle is real: Schools need help to deliver ICT education in Zambian schools

My heart bleeds, so this Teacher called me, he narrated how challenging it is for him to teach ICT to hundreds of grade nine students - it is an examination class and he has other subjects to handle, his colleagues are not yet up to the desired level in practical.

I took a deep breath and gave him the good news. "Mr.X, do not worry, things will work as planned earlier. This year, we will assign 2 Teaching Support Volunteers to your school..." I could ...

Social reporting is not just about writing, but a learning and practice opportunity

Youth involvement in agriculture and rural development through ICTs , has recently been on a rise in ACP countries. Among the factors that have attributed to this development is the penetration and adoption of ICT in these regions. Across the agricultural sector, ICT tools and processes have facilitated various Agricultural Value Chain stages to yield sustainable growth. More so, the integration of ICT innovations has brought about a paradigm shift in Finance for Agriculture. While this development remains of  great importance to the ACP regions and the world over , the dissemination and exchange of information on best practices, emerging innovations, challenges and opportunities remains an important aspect of sustained development in the sector. The sharing of this stipulated information and knowledge through the use of  Social Media has proven to be successful . With ambitious youth and ICT, in particular digital media enthusiastic generation, social media i...
