A2D Talkshow

Gethsemane is a metaphorical location of pain and suffering, it indicates and aggrandises the true meaning of suffering. Gethsemane is a place of weeping but also preparation for what will come ( pain). Gethsemane is where christ weep and prayed that the cup, his cup of suffering will elude him, he hoped that the hammer of pain will be stopped before it lands. He realized that he couldn't avoid what was coming  "the death on the cross". A death he didn't deserve but was more than willing to pay for.

in the world ruled by a vicious mob the freedom to speak or think is precluded by certain standard that ostensibly reflect morality and good will. many have been bullied because of their ideologies, religious principle and many other. you dare not question the rule of the mob, you must obey all their rules norms and dictates. it must be treated as canonical and absolute. 

History facilitates a proper understanding of current realities and serves as a means of the

forecast.

With Africa in focus, our history ought to be descriptive, prescriptive, and predictive. However,

the existence of pseudohistory poses a threat and limitation to the power of our history.

The whitewashing, inaccuracy, and denial of events in African history ought to be seen as a

hindrance to the continent's emancipation.

The present-day occurrences in Africa will undeniably play a crucial role in our future. These

events will potentially catalyze change- either positive or negative.

What is the impact of African history on her recent experience across the board?

How can we safeguard our present and ensure it is appropriately told as history in the future?

With a futuristic view, let us analyze our today, looking at the potentials and resources that can

be galvanized to yield future results.

Let us examine pointers from our history, which can be applied to our present and take us into

the future we desire.

Every tomorrow was today. How will Africa's today influence her tomorrow?

What will the future of Africa look like?

Africa is a continent blessed with a teeming youthful population. In recent times, we have

witnessed a wave of political consciousness sweep across Africa - from Nigeria to Uganda to

Congo- with the youth being at the forefront of this demand for political change. The last time

the continent uniformly witnessed this wave of consciousness and activism was during the

nationalist fight for independence from the colonialists. This time, the two factions that exist are

internal – the younger generation vs. the older generation's government.

Two primary faiths divide our home Africa; Christianity and Islam. These two faiths have the same ancestral father ( Abraham), yet we see much bigotry amongst those who practice this faith. There is an apparent dichotomy between them. This dichotomy is in their approach and worship of God and their world views of life after death. However, they share similar societal and moral values. With these similarities, we still see bigotry, religious wars. 

We can also see the similarities between the tribe and ethnicity, which seek to uphold peace, justice, love, and serenity. Yet, we still have seen bigotry, microaggression, and tribalism.

This topic explains how cultural values and faith are pivotal to sustaining and developing our countries and our home in Africa that we hope to build. 

Family is the building block of a nation and without a healthy family and cultural values. Society slip into the cancer of social vices and abnormalities. The church and mosque are the main factors to urge moral living and peaceful coexistence with others: Treating each other with love and kindness.

In conclusion, we will speak about why our culture and faith are critical in sustaining growth

While we all know how cultural and religious our home Africa is and promote the artistic value and faith-based principles, we have slipped into the darkroom of tribalism and religious bigotry. This culture and faith have become a political tool causing a divide amongst the people.

Leaders and the political elite have exploited this divide to rise and remain in power. We have seen the rise of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in Ghana and South Africa, to name a few. We can see this pattern and attitude of bigotry all around Africa. We are segregating people because of their culture and faith and even Nationalist. This topic explores how deleterious this act of tribalism and religious intolerance is to the development of nations. It seeks to give an example of these acts and how to solve the problems. we hope to come to a resolute that resonate with the phrase "all people are created equal under God

This topic seeks to question the current government system in Africa and explain why Democracy seems to work in other parts of the world and not in Africa.

Knowing that many Tribes and cultures in Africa practiced monarchy on a local and cultural level before colonization draws a question, do our culture and political environment help the progress and practice of Democracy, or was this political ideology imposed on us by the Europeans.

In many parts of Africa, we have seen leaders who were "duly elected "act in ways that gainsays the term "power of people," which Democracy stands for. Is Democracy an experiment on the African petri dish? Do we need a reform in our Democracy? these are questions we must answer.

This topic will look deep at our countries' current problems and root causes analysis of our

difficulties.

This topic will strive to answer questions

1. Will Africa be a better place without the coming of the colonial masters

2. what steps did other countries take after getting independence, and what steps did we take

This topic will look at the country's current policies and how it affects Africa today. We will also

look at international policies, Africa's relationship with other countries and international bodies,

and how has this relationship help foster the growth and development of our countries.

We will also look at our current leaders' actions, reaction, and inactions, and how it has shaped

our countries images internally and internationally. We hope to show the greed, lack of

leadership, and incompetence in our political space.

In conclusion, we hope to seek the source of our problems, our current leaders or colonial

masters.

This topic drive to talk about the pivotal historical moments in Africa that are not common knowledge, for example, King Leopold the Second of Belgium and his atrocities in Congo. This topic gears to talk about the pre-colonial and colonial eras. What were the intentions of the Europeans? What action did they take when they arrived, and how did it affect the coming future of the continent. This topic also intends to talk about the continent's internal affairs, the problems we faced and how we handled them, and how our reactions shaped Africa's countries' future. This conversation will pickup scenarios of specific countries to explore and drive the point home intricately.

in conclusion, we will look at pivotal periods in our history and how it changes the course of our home, Africa

2021 a trophy for surviving or thriving in 2020.
