Abstract: Africa, the continent with the most sovereign countries of 54, the second largest and the second most populous continent should be boasting of success if numbers and size matter. A continent with the youngest population boasting of a vibrant youth should have a working force to turn the fortunes of the continent around but things seem to be the other way round. Can Africa make it? Can Africa rise to the level it is supposed to be? Can Africa turn the tides to its favour? How true is Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s assertion that “the Black man is capable of managing his own affairs”? An African adage goes, “The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now”. This sheds light on how the African continent missed its first time to plant its tree of manufacturing, technological development and industrialization and that now is the opportune time for its deliverance from the shackles it finds itself bound.
