Lead You: Notes to Young Africans on Creating a More Representative Continent

Book excerpt: Despite several decades of so-called independence from colonial rule, representative government has largely remained elusive in many African countries, compromised by systemic corruption and political tyranny. Widespread apathy from years of living under harsh realities has led to younger Africans speaking out against deplorable leadership and governance that ignore their basic needs and actively rob them of a brighter future. Indeed, the future ought to be brighter for a continent that consistently ranks as having the youngest demographic in the world. Be a part of the new dawn and add this book to your reading list!
