There is a burning desire for the younger generation to take the lead different fields of activity in Africa. With an average age of 78.5 years, Africa remains the continent with the oldest set of national leaders. This is a big factor behind the underdevelopment of the second largest continent on earth.

Against the Establishment

The Campaign for the Breed Industry and Political Leaders Becomes More and More Strong on the Continent, Nigeria, Prepares for Its general election. The election is scheduled in less than 15 months from the date of writing.

Pushing the old brigade into politics seems insurmountable is a lack of young people in leadership positions in Africa. These young people lack the necessary capacity to be competitive. Migration in search of greener pastures has also had adverse consequences on Africa's youth and reduced the supply of the next generation of continent's leaders.

Taking Responsibility

The emergence of Blockchain technology, coupled with its decentralized and unregulated approach presents an opportunity for escape for a generation that aspires to be heard. Across the African continent, almost all Blockchain start-ups and related technologies are developed by young people between the ages of 20 and 45. The waiting revolution seems to be based on Blockchain technology. Young Africans in large numbers are designing new courses without relying on the controlled systems of previous generations.

Awareness, awareness raising and education are tools that have been adopted by groups on the continent to initiate the process of empowerment. Just recently, a group of young Nigerians known as Dash Squard organized a musical and cultural festival. The two-day event that registered about 800 participants involved performances by local artists, but heightened awareness about the digital currency Dash was the crux of the matter. Participants had Dash portfolios set up on their mobile devices and learned to trade, with tickets and prices denominated in Dash.

Oluwajuwon Micheal, organizer of the event said:

total of 300 new Dash wallets and also sent [each] of them Dash d & # 39; 39, worth about $ 5, which everyone used to buy food, beverages and merchandise at the event. We also trained more than 50 vendors who came for our event on the benefits of Dash and how they can send and buy Dash. We introduced Dash to local artists who came for the events, and all were paid to Dash. Only two decided to sell some of their Dash.

Gradual but Regular Revolution

The Cryptography Development Initiative of Nigeria (CDIN), headed by Adeolu Fadele, is another group mainly composed of young people Africans focused on Blockchain as a development tool across Africa.Being held its first conference in November 2017, the group participates in various education and outreach programs.It is also configured for collaborate with government agencies and professional institutions to achieve the implementation of Blockchain.

Other African youth groups to find their voice include eBitcoinics, led by Nawaf Abdullah, and Blockchain Nigeria User Group , founded by Chimeie Chuta

The fact that the younger generation takes so long to find its relevance may not require as much celebration. The hope that it brings means a future of possibilities fueled by technological progress. The good thing about this development is that it remains an exclusive reserve of the next generation that can no longer be harassed off the system by its current set of leaders.

Apparently, there is definitely a future for Africans. continent that can no longer be taken away from those to whom it belongs.
