THERE ARE MILLIONS OF JOBS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOUNGSTERS WITH THE AFRICAN THINK TANK THE3Y SHOULD IDSENGAGE FROM WESTERN MENTALITY ESTABLISH WHAT WOULD BE A SHOW CASING OF THE AFRICAN MIND. WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE VERSED IN EUROPEAN HISTORY AND NOT KNOW OUR OWN OR EVEN THE ORIGINS OF MAN. THE IDEA THAT THE AFRICAN CHILD DOES NOT KNOW THAT HE COMES FORM SUCH AN I8LLUSTRIOUS PASS. WE MUST NOT SEE SOME OF OUR AFRICAN TRADITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED TO OTHER PEOPES IN AFRICA WHO WERE ASSIMILATED INTO OUR WAY OF LIFE!!!!.. WE MUST NOT ALLO POVERTY TO BE THE DRIVING FPORCE OF IGNORANCE!!! "EVERY YOUTH HAS A MIND!1 WE CAN BOPRROW FROM THE WEST AS THEY HAVE BOPRROWED , WE WILL USE AS "WE PICK SENSE FROM NONSENSE" . WE NEED TO ANHANCE THE PROCCESS OF MENTAL BUILDING THE SELF ASSUREDNESS THAT GOES WITH FREE SPIRITED PEOPLE!!!!. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LOOK O OTHERS IF WE DECIDED THAT AS AFRICANS WE WILL SHARE WHAT WE HAVE WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS LACKING WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION WE WILL AMKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS STABLE ROADS SO THATW ECAN SHARE IN ALL OPUR MARKETS!!!. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT EVERY BROTHER AND SISTER STATE HAS ENOUGH DOCTORS TO TREAT THE MANY PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON THE CONTINENT; WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT EB NOUGH ENGINEERS ARE AVAILABLE TO TREAT WASTE AND BUILD PLANTS THAT CAN RERTURN OUR WASTE TO RENEWABLE ENRGIES!!!. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY RURAL PERSOPN HAS ACCESS TO WATER IN THIER HOMES SO THAT THEY CAN ALSO WASH THEMSELVES AND HAVE THE LUXURY OF COOKING IN DOORS OR EVEN HAVE THIER KITCHEN OUT DOORS!!. WE NEED TO MAKLE RESOLUTIOSN THAT WILL BE ENTERED INTO OUR MEMBER STATES DIRECTIVES THAT WE CAN AVAIL OURSELVES OF OUR BROTHESR THROUGH OUT THE CONTINENT 'TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN REACHING EACH OTHERS NATIONAL GOALS!!!!. "WE NEED TO INTERGRATE,' WE NEED ORGANIZATION OF THE HIGHEST LEVEL, TO IMPLIMENT ALL OUR IDEALS VISIONS FOR THE CONTINENTS BENIFIT!!!." THERE IS NO SINGLE I' "WE ARE LIVING IN A PLURALISTIC EMBODIMENT " EVERYONE ELSE IS EVERYONES SOMEONE" "ONE IS THE PLURALSITIC ACCESSION TO ONE; THERE IS NO SPIRITUAL MENTAL PHYSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENSTS WIHOUT THE 1", THE ALL, OF 'I AND I "
