President Obama's Speech to British Parliament: what Africa

Postby nigerian_admin » Tue Feb 16, 2021 8:10 am

#President Obama delivered yet another eloquent speech to the British parliament which the African continent can learn from.
Please enjoy this prose and find my interpretation to the African continent's context.

(1) Countries that share the same values and believes must not stand alone but share alliances and relationships against evil'.
African continent must not stand alone in confronting ISIL. Insecurity of live and property diminish the economic and social growth of a nation, confidence in the future, and diminish patriotism. We need that alliance and relatonships today to confront evil.

Each country in Africa will need that alliance and relatioships within and between States. The persistent kidnappings, killings, and destructions of properties require alliances between States and between States and other nations with the same values and believes, to confront any eminent, immediate and present danger to their people. African nations must engage the infrastructures necessary to respond to her peoples whenever there is a'yell for help'. I find it difficult to accept that the people inflicting mayhem on our nation are fellow Nigerians. It is necessary to develop individual portfolios that assures citizenship and increase border control.
Cattle rearing is a very profitable business. The solution to the herdsmen economic insecurity could be found in mechanized farming of 'hay' that will be sold to cattle rearers. Every production have an input cost. Herding animals is dated. Mechanized farming will not find a home in an insecure environment. The leaders of a country must find solutions that will dissuade chaos.

(2) Investment in human capital: President Obama spoke about tolerance in self determination. The bill of rights, habeas corpus, rule of law, and trial by jury. It gives everyone in a country the confidence of equality in the law of the land.
He gave prominence to education. Countries should invest in education required to exchange goods and services produced, that will also enable new ideas and production. African countries will require digitized lands titles office that will facilitate the exchange of properties, have access to available housing and reduce the cost in exchanging property to access resourses from property taxes that will support education.
Security of hard times. Here, President Obama emphasize the need to develop the infrastructures necessary for continuity. Unemployment insurance, medical insurance, pension, auto insurance, house insurance, business insurance. Although we all pay into these assurances, they create a safety net for all of us. When we need them and we get them, it gives us confidence and love for our society. A country that ensure the safety net for her people, will be provided a safety net the people.
The development of the infrastructure needed by those with ideas to easily consumate with those with capital cannot be overemphasized. Individual portfolios and a regulated and reliable credit bureau is required.

(3) Freedom must be won by those who live within a society. In Africa the freedom to access our basic needs rests primarily with how we structure our relationships between and within the government, institutions, organizations, and each individual. We have already been blessed.

(4) Inclusiveness. He stated that societies should desist and resist tribalism. In Africa we have not used communication instruments very well in conditioning our people to love each other. We also have discriminating rules that permeates our differences. We must have confidence in our nation that we can attain anything we set out to be or want without fear or favour. This accertain the love for a nation.

(5) Welcome the development of emerging nations. In our case in Africa our foriegn adversaries who continually disrupt our economic, social, and political growth
should stop because increase in individual income in any part of the world is an increase in world GDP. An increase in wealth in one area eventually increase the wealth of all. The children of our children will do better if the children of the children of others do better.

(6) On climate change, it is no brainer. We all want our children to live a better live than ours. We must all sow the seed.

This is how I concieved the speech. Please contribute your perspective.
