Political stability, sustainable physical health, economic prosperity, and social cohesion are not words that describe the Africa of today, but that does not have to be the case for tomorrow. In our lifetime, thousands of Africans have died in the Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea as they flee Africa to seek freedom and prosperity in other countries. Consider instead, a steady stream of skilled Africans returning to help their homelands to reach their full potential, helping Africa to take her rightful place of dignity in the world community. This book is an open letter to the 1.28 billion people of Africa and all friends of Africa around the world from Martin M. Niboh, Ph.D. His vision for his fellow Africans is for them to no longer be accepting of a continent drowning in debt, disease, division and despair, but to change Africa to make it a continent of opportunity. In the 21st century, Dr. Niboh envisions Africa as a continent of liberty, unity, security and, peace.
Dr. Niboh is the founder and President of Igniting Africa, a grassroots movement based in Cameroon, West Africa. Igniting Africa is deeply committed to developing the next generation of African entrepreneurs who are motivated to live and work in their home villages. Igniting Africa does not just teach entrepreneurship - it addresses the cultural shift required for men and women to identify their passions, build confidence, gain skills, and convert their dreams into businesses. In his book, Dear Sons, Daughters and Friends of Africa, Dr. Niboh describes the foundational changes in perspective and the steps that are needed to make these changes a fruitful reality.
