A special thanks to the UN for that special dedication. Acknowledgement and recognition, as members of this global village, especially as a group of people that are making strides in the form of development, goes a long way. But more than a continent of people with pride in our traditions and cultures, we will need to improve our morals in order to uphold our global citizenry.
For starters, our traditions and cultures will need embracing, as is. But it is only when they are rightfully fused with morals, that the true spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood around the world can be manifested, no matter what religion, education or politics that one adheres and subscribes to. Then when traditional, cultural and moral values work beside each other and for everyone, that will be the moment that our beautiful continent with all its resources and resourceful people can see the fruition of what potential we possess as a people.
