“How can a million-dollar ideas that helps Africa confront terrible crises be forgotten?”

By Elizaphan Ogechi, Executive Director, Nguzo Africa Community Foundation

Crises and other pressing human challenges are great teachers.

Get into humanitarian and development sector and try to solve some of Africa’s pressing challenges in governance, human rights, insecurity, education, health, food insecurity, youth unemployment, pandemics, climate change crises, among others. You get enrolled in the world’s greatest seminar of all times. You can’t avoid to think deep.

In Africa, we have seen it all: poverty, unemployment, famine, wars, floods, drought, coups, dictators, massacres, HIV&AIDS, Covid-19, Ebola …  Lost? Now, you don’t need to cry. Let’s laugh.
