Happy new year, Kojo. Your inspiring Pan-African posts on Facebook are such a delight to read - so full of optimism. Your faith in our younger generations is to be expected - after all, you established a leading university, the African University College of Communications ( AUCC), to train some of them, did you not? Thanks for sharing.
President Nkrumah's dream of a powerful and wealthy Africa, utilising its natural capital, for the benefit of its own people, will now become reality: a market of some 1.2 billion people, with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $2.5 trillion, across 54 out of the 55 member states of the African Union (alas Eritrea has excluded itself). The world's biggest free trade area. Wow.
However, in my humble view, it is vital that cross-border criminal-types (especially cyber-fraudsters) are kept out of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), from the word go. Permanently. Cool.
What will help make that possible, is to require exit-visas, from all travellers moving to other nations, from their native countries - and create a shared-central-continental-database, from the information provided by applicants, which will make them traceable, at any given point in time, wherever they are, in the AfCFTA, using AI-facial recognition software. Simple. Case closed. Problem solved. Full stop.
Kojo, no power on earth, can stop our continent from realising it's full potential now: the brightest and best of Africa's brilliant world-class younger generations, will prevent that from happening. As sure as day follows night. Thanks once again for sharing. You are the man. Cool.
