If anyone cares for the future of anyone country or community, he or she must pay keen attention to the development, education and health of the youths and train and prepare them for position of responsibility and leadership at the earliest opportunity. Is this the ease in Africa and how does it compare with other countries? In the past, anything gone badly, society attributed it to God. 'Today, outside natural events like the floods in Australia anything going wrong is attributed to leadership. Leadership in Africa is generally defined as the ability to influence a group towards the achievement of set goals-tasks. The leader's thought is guided by mission (goals achievements), safety and well-being of the team or group members and last, personal interest like being famous or ambition for material gain.

2. If we cannot lead ourselves, we cannot lead anyone else - we influence people because people see us as standing on higher ground - we have been to the mountain before them. Increased chances of youth becoming leaders at earliest opportunity. First, youths gaining leadership positions are a functions of family environment, personal drive, social and national environment. These factors can be supportive, encouraging and motivating or inhibitive and down right oppressive to the emergence, of youths development. Examples are in Africa where the education of the youths; particularly the girl's are being fought viciously on baseless grounds. Second is the political and social environment. In the African context, age and social networks are major qualifications for public or private sector senior offices.

3. Majority of African leaders die in office and expect state funeral! The same is true even in the private sector and universities. It is uncommon in African universities to find below 30 year olds holding professorial positions. These have created "standing water" effects. Social and economic environment: suffocating, bad smell, full of mosquitoes and reptiles. There must be flow of leadership, moderate turn-over in order to tap energy, creativity and passion of our young people. We need the older generation for their wisdom, networks, influence, experience and wealth, but they must help young people grow so that Africa does not vanish from the face of this earth or become swarm of flourishing corruption and decay. In order to increase the chances of youths accessing the positions for leadership in Africa in the earliest opportunity anywhere for the purpose of active citizens, effective states and better changed developed world and overcome limiting barriers on our path, we must observe and practice the following:-

4. Personal discipline, care, efficiency and energy as success comes after hard work. The discipline to have personal goals and achieving them. The discipline to have the best friends, adhere good, healthy lifestyle. The discipline to be ambitious, take care of one's parents, God-fearing and work hard.  The only place where success comes before work is in the English dictionary. Take responsibility for one`s actions. If you want to create the life of your dreams, then you are going to have to take 100% responsibility for your life as you live. Parents and communities have done their bit by taking the youths to school, bringing them up and loving them.

5. Therefore we must have positive attitude, work hard, have great dreams and take responsibility for our lives.  Therefore, youths must thrive to access leadership in Africaand entrepreneurship in order to contribute to their own development and those of their countries. Youths must have self-discipline, take 100% own responsibilities and have strong self believe and overcome contextual barriers. For more details visit us at Panafricanvisions.com.
