Live the Dream, Africa!
Live the Dream – Africa, is a sequel to A Trail to Prosperity-The Journey of One from Escaping Autocracy, Poverty, and Despair to the Land of Opportunity. A Trail to Prosperity explores brain drain out of sub-Saharan Africa and captures the experiences of youths and professionals who fled their home countries. Live the Dream – Africa takes a bird’s eye view of the progress in post-colonial Africa since independence and narrates a dream of an imaginary realm that the main character, Lans, once had. Lans paid his dues as the immigrant who fled his home-land, and strenuously worked his way up to his American dream. Now he feels accomplished but exhausted and a little home-sick. As he navigates through early retirement, searching for his next gig, he had a dream that launched him into a new realm, where he existed for an extended time. This realm reflects a renaissance in Africa and triggered high levels of euphoria in the sub-Saharan region and even the African diaspora. Economic activities surged, cooperation between nations in the region improved, education outcomes were at an all-time high, manufacturing industries erected in places never seen before, and African landmarks and attractions became targets for tourists to visit and explore. There were no wars to report during this time in the realm. The African Union (AU) became the effective diplomatic and advocacy machine that was originally intended. The AU even created a security alliance, the African Security Alliance (ASA), essentially a military alliance, to guarantee territorial integrity and security of nation-states who were up-to-date with their contributions of 3 percent of GDP. Exciting and insightful reading. The Africa that all Africans would like to have. It was only a dream in this instance. The hope is that it will come to pass someday.
