Introducing Marketplace Africa

Africa!Africa!'Africa my Africa: a continent of proud warriors in ancestral savanna.'..That is the bit of a beautiful poetry I read in secondary school that I can still remember.Africa has long been cast as the dark continent .But we all know that a lot of good or even great things do go on in darkness.For instance the womb of  an animal is always dark,This is a very important part of an animal's anatomy without which procreation and continuity of every specie would be possible .And then after darkness comes daylight.So Africa's darkness so to say is a cloak and a prelude for better and greater  things Africa's darkness is symbolic of the hope of  the chronological progess of the entire planet.


We at Marketplace Africa believe that this darkness that has been talked so much about  has been an opportunity to create :it is a oasis of latent talent and virgin zeal. Wherever you turn in Africa the freshness of untapped human and material resources abound .More importantly the African spirit is that of hope ,resilience and resourcefulness. We believe in these .We believe in the promise of Africa.This is the promise of Africa.Though bound  ,broken and battered,  Africa still trudges on .I can never forget the eruption of the promise and brutal determination of Africa in the voice of an African American woman during the glorious gory days of the civil rights struggle in the United States in the sixties:'My feets is tired,but  my soul is at rest.', she retorted to an inquirer about her weariness .Obviously uneducated ,the genuine profundity of this unnamed seventy- two year old woman in Dr Martin Luther King's  'Letter From Birmingham Jail in legendary  is typical of Africa;  '... pressed to the wall but still fighting on'. Without further ado the world must realize that the next millennium is the African millennium. This not something that has to be agitated or fought for like  the gain of freedom from colonialism or the struggle for civil rights in America.This is something that the world will willingly acknowledge and accept.In Africa lies the potential to salvage a broken immoral global economic system.Often times it is the man at the lowest rung of the ladder that is given the rare privilege of seeing first hand  the mistakes of those higher up in the ladder.This is a statement of fact that all must accept.

Again the darkness in Africa is only a prelude to daylight.Only Africa has the spiritual capacity to sustain the world through the imminent economic holocaust.This blog therefore is focused on the singular goal of the Promise of Africa inspire of its present economic challenges.We are determined to catalyze the imminent African economic renaissance. This is the principal goal of this platform.There is no need whatsoever to give in to despair.because 'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams'-Eleanor Roosevelt.We are on a journey and we will surely get to the promise land if we do not faint.Marketplace Africa:The Promise Of Africa
