Project Pan-Africa (PPA), a Pan-African initiative that seeks to create a "mental revolution" throughout the continent and strive for a better Africa, is currently underway. Fortunately, a few African institutions have shown their desire to support this initiative. This is desirable because we seriously need a change of mentality to free ourselves from colonial bondage.
One major challenge that currently faces the African people is not that of poverty. Neither is it the lack of resources. In the 21st century, the major problem we face as a people is what Bob Marley has referred to as "Mental Slavery." Bob Marley acknowledged that “none but ourselves can free our minds.”
