21 Reasons Why Africa Is the Future

Let me share with you 21 reasons why Africa is the future. We often hear this phrase, and it may sound like a cliché, but when you look closely, the evidence is undeniable. Africa is not just a continent; it is a living story of resilience, brilliance, and boundless possibility.

Throughout the world’s past, present, and even its unfolding future, Africa stands at the center—as the cradle of humanity, a vast reservoir of natural wealth, and the home of the youngest population on earth. 

Without further ado, let’s explore some of the compelling reasons why Africa is truly the future.

---

1. The youngest population in the world
Africa’s median age is under 20, making it the most youthful continent on earth. This is not just a statistic; it is a vision of tomorrow. While other regions of the world struggle with aging populations, Africa’s youthful energy promises a workforce that will drive innovation, creativity, and productivity for decades to come.

2. Talent and intelligence
Africans are among the most brilliant minds globally, excelling in science, medicine, technology, arts, and sports. From groundbreaking medical research and Nobel Prize laureates to award-winning literature and world-class inventions, Africa’s intellectual wealth is undeniable. The continent has given rise to pioneers whose influence is felt far beyond its borders.

3. A thriving consumer market
With over 1.5 billion people, Africa represents one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in the world. This means more opportunities for businesses, investors, and brands seeking expansion. Africa is not just a market to be reached—it is a force that shapes global demand and future trends.

4. A land of vast resources
Africa holds some of the world’s richest mineral and energy deposits: gold, diamonds, cobalt, oil, and rare earth minerals that power modern technology. It supplies much of the globe’s gold, platinum, and cobalt, making it the backbone of global industries. In many ways, the modern world would not function without Africa’s natural wealth.

5. A place of culture, history, and heritage
From the pyramids of Egypt to the ancient empires of Mali and Great Zimbabwe, Africa’s past is woven with civilizations that shaped global history. Its diverse traditions, art, and heritage continue to influence cultures across the world.

6. Cradle of humanity
The earliest human fossils—from Lucy in Ethiopia to Homo naledi in South Africa—tell us that humanity itself began in Africa. This makes Africa not only the birthplace of mankind but also the custodian of humanity’s history and future.

7. Largest genetic diversity
Scientific research shows that Africans carry the greatest genetic variation of any people group. This diversity underscores resilience, adaptability, and strength—qualities that ensure survival and progress in a changing world. Africa will be the hub of future medical research, providing solutions to many medical problems.

8. Linguistic richness
With over 10,000 languages and dialects, Africa is the most linguistically diverse continent. Each language carries wisdom, values, and worldviews that enrich our shared human story and create strong communication platforms for the future.

9. Fastest urban growth
African cities like Lagos, Kinshasa, Nairobi, and Johannesburg are rapidly becoming global megacities. They are hubs of creativity, commerce, technology, and opportunity, where ideas confluent and the future is being shaped daily.

10. Music and dance that move the world
From Afrobeat to Amapiano, Highlife to Soukous, Africa’s rhythms and dances have conquered global charts, fashion runways, and cultural spaces. African music is not just entertainment—it is a universal heartbeat that inspires the world.

11. Distinctive fashion and fabrics
Ankara, Kente, Dashiki, Mudcloth—these are more than fabrics. They are living symbols of identity, artistry, and pride, influencing global fashion trends from Paris to New York.

12. Cultural festivals
Africa’s cultural celebrations—from Nigeria’s Durbar Festival to Ethiopia’s Timkat—blend faith, tradition, art, and community in ways unmatched elsewhere. These festivals are not only expressions of joy but also proof of Africa’s enduring cultural wealth.

13. Culinary diversity
Africa’s cuisine tells a story of creativity and resourcefulness. Dishes like Jollof rice, injera, tagine, bunny chow, fufu, and suya are not only delicious but also expressions of identity and hospitality.

14. Resilience in adversity
Despite slavery, colonialism, poverty, and modern challenges, Africans continue to rise with unbreakable spirit. This resilience has become one of our greatest strengths—proving again and again the indestructibility of the human soul.

15. Warmth and hospitality
There is a saying: “A stranger is a friend you haven’t met.” That captures the heart of African hospitality. We are known for generosity and openness—qualities that make our continent not just a place to visit, but a place to belong —talking about the future! 

16. Community and Ubuntu
The African philosophy of Ubuntu—“I am because we are”—captures the spirit of togetherness, compassion, and shared humanity. This philosophy continues to shape communities and inspire global movements for unity.

17. Innovation and technology
Africa is home to fast-growing tech hubs such as Nigeria’s fintech revolution and Kenya’s “Silicon Savannah”. Nollywood, meanwhile, has become the world’s second-largest film industry, with its own distinctive global impact. Innovation is no longer imported into Africa—it is born here.

18. Excellence in sports
Our athletes dominate global sports. From West African footballers electrifying European leagues to East African marathoners rewriting history books, and to all other parts of the continent and outside, Africa’s talent shines on the world stage, inspiring millions.

19. Leadership in arts and literature
Writers such as Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie have given Africa a commanding voice in world literature. Through words and storytelling, we speak to universal truths while preserving our own unique narratives.

20. Beauty and hairstyles
Braids, dreadlocks, cornrows, and natural hairstyles are more than fashion—they are art, history, and cultural pride worn daily by millions. Today, African beauty and style continue to inspire global trends.

21. Spiritual heritage
Last but not least is our spiritual heritage. Africa is home to thriving Christianity, Islam, indigenous faith traditions, and ancient spiritual systems. We have the highest number of Christians and churches in the world. This spiritual wealth shapes communities, instills values, and provides direction for the future.

No More Silence: The Church as God’s Weapon for Africa’s Transformation

The Church will suddenly become irrelevant if it doesn’t address the political problem in Africa. For many years, we’ve been going through this political crisis—this problem of leadership. We’ve seen governments that are not working, bad infrastructure, insecurity, economic collapse, health systems in shambles, and educational systems in ruins. 

Practically no aspect of government is functioning effectively in most African countries. Only a few nations are doing relatively well, but the majority are struggling.

And yet, Africa has more than 100,000 churches spread across the continent. That number is more than enough to drive change—massive, visible, lasting change. So, it is wrong for the Church to keep quiet.

Some may say, “But we’ve been talking to the politicians. We’ve been lamenting, admonishing, giving them instructions, yet they don’t listen.” But talking alone is not enough. What we must do is take effective action against bad governance.

The Church, being the body of Christ, carries power and influence over the political system. We can set up organizations, we can create movements that challenge the status quo. In fact, it should begin with the Church creating godly organizations and non-governmental bodies committed to change across Africa. 

We cannot just keep talking; we must step out and act—whether through protests, demonstrations, institutions, publications, broadcasts, or massive social media campaigns that ignite, motivate, and energize the people. Many are weak and waiting for a cause to follow. The Church must lead that cause.

Things are decaying. The gap between the rich and the poor widens daily. Insecurity worsens. Inflation soars. Crimes multiply—kidnapping, drugs, prostitution, human trafficking. Evil is spreading, and we cannot fold our hands, saying, “We are advising the politicians.” That’s not enough. We need practical, tangible actions.

Pastors, bishops, reverends, papas, mamas, overseers—all of you leading churches across Africa—this is a call. We must do more than preach, prophesy, and declare. We must take solid steps. Yes, some are already trying, but we need more, and we need it urgently.

And we must address the root cause of our problem: the colonial demons still holding our continent hostage. Many African politicians are pawns to foreign powers—syndicates in the West and beyond—that continue to colonize and manipulate our nations. These are the strongholds we must confront.

We cannot sit idly, waiting for the next election, only to repeat the same cycle of disappointment. Elections alone will not save us. 

In fact, each regime seems worse than the last. We must stop feeding our people with false hope. There is no hope in this system as it stands. We must change the course of Africa’s future, because our current leaders are driving us toward destruction.

Look at the greed: billions embezzled, while millions live in abject poverty, unable to afford food. Meanwhile, politicians buy luxury houses abroad, drive the latest cars, fly private jets, and squander national wealth on vanity. All this, while the people suffer. And the Church is silent? No!!!

The Church must rise. It must be an instrument of national transformation, a voice of righteousness, and an agent of God’s kingdom in our continent. If not, very soon, the Church will lose its relevance. People will stop listening, stop attending, and start seeing the Church as a powerless dog that could not bring change.

But we don’t want that. We want the Church to be strong—a major pillar of society, a force for good, a driver of freedom, prosperity, and national dignity. This is what we must do.

And I believe the Lord will help us. He will strengthen us to accomplish this mission, to bring liberty and restoration to our nations. Africa will rise again. Africa will walk the path of progress and development. And nothing will stop us.

So please, share this, speak about it, rise with it, and take action. God bless you!

Africa’s Strength: Why We Need More Sport Schools in Africa

You may wonder why, of all schools, Africa should have more sport schools. Let me explain. 

If you’ve been following my articles and posts on social media, you’ll understand by now that one of our major strengths as Africans is physical strength. And that strength is displayed in everything we do. Africans—or black people—are the best in sports all over the world. 

From Pelé, the legendary Brazilian footballer of African descent, to Michael Jordan, to the giants of basketball, to Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, and Usain Bolt—these icons have one thing in common: they are the greatest in their field, and they are of African origin.

This is not a coincidence. It is an established truth: Africans and black people possess unique, unbeatable physical strength, which naturally expresses itself in sports. Physical strength and endurance are the core of athletic performance—and these are traits we have in abundance.

You may wonder why we have such a remarkable level of physical strength. One major reason is genetics, traceable to the era when our ancestors were hunters and gatherers. They had to survive in the wild, facing dangerous animals and harsh conditions. Over time, this necessity shaped their bodies, giving them superior strength—a trait that has been passed down through generations.

Another factor lies in our brain biology. Neuromelanin in our brainstem enhances physical coordination and skilled movements. The substantia nigra—a key area rich in dopamine—works alongside neuromelanin to allow a wide range of movements. This is a biological advantage that supports our natural physical abilities.

The bottom line is simple: we have every reason to be strong and physically active. Yet, our adversaries have often downplayed this strength, labeling it as mere physical aggression. It is time we claim our power and manifest it through sports.

In Africa, we need more sport schools. Instead of seeing our young people roaming the streets aimlessly, why not engage them in sporting activities? Why don’t we establish more sports schools? Today, sports is a multibillion-dollar industry, with people all over the world paying to watch. Africa has the talent and creativity to invent new sports and showcase them globally. I firmly believe our continent has the potential to introduce entirely new games to the world.

We have countless raw talents in different sporting activities—young people whose abilities are waiting to be discovered. Why don’t we take advantage of these opportunities? Why don’t we have organizations, institutions, and academies dedicated to nurturing these youths? Instead, foreigners are exploiting our talent abroad. We must stop this theft and invest in our young people.

Africa has a bright future if we start investing in our youth. We can become the next global sensation by tapping into the unlimited potential and talents on our continent. Enough of oppression and domination from colonial agents. Now is the time to manifest our gifts and display them proudly to the world.

Let’s take action now. Reach out to an African youth you can help. It doesn’t matter if it’s one person or two—start somewhere. Support our young people, and let’s build more sport schools and centers of physical activity across Africa. This is how we will develop, nurture, and deploy our talents to the world.

13 Major African Minerals and Resources

1) Cobalt

• Why important: battery metal for EVs and electronics.

• Key stat: The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is by far the dominant supplier — ~70–75%+ of world mined cobalt (recent USGS and industry reports note ~74% of mined cobalt production coming from the DRC in 2023). U.S. Geological Survey PublicationsCobalt Institute

2) Copper

• Why important: electrification, power grids, EVs.

• Key stat: The DRC has grown into one of the top global copper producers (reports around 2024–2025 show DRC production in the millions of tonnes; sources report ~3.3 million t copper output for the DRC in 2024 and Zambia ~0.7–0.82 million t in 2023–2024). Major projects (Kamoa-Kakula, etc.) have driven the jump. Investing News Network (INN)mmmd.gov.zm

3) Gold

• Why important: stores of value, exports.

• Key stat: Many African producers rank in the world top producers. Recent data (World Gold Council / market summaries) lists Ghana, Mali, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Guinea, Tanzania and Cote d’Ivoire as major African gold producers (annual production measured in tens to low hundreds of tonnes per country). World Gold CouncilBusiness Insider Africa

4) Diamonds (gem & industrial)

• Why important: high export value for some states, also local artisanal mining.

• Key stat: Kimberley Process public statistics report large volumes and values from Botswana, Angola, South Africa, DRC, Namibia and others (country-level volume & value tables are published annually). kimberleyprocessstatistics.org

5) Phosphate (fertiliser feedstock)

• Why important: critical for agriculture & fertiliser supply.

• Key stat: Morocco (including Western Sahara deposits under Moroccan control) holds by far the largest phosphate reserves — commonly cited ~50 billion tonnes of phosphate rock (often reported as ~60–70%+ of global reserves depending on source). Morocco’s state firm OCP is the dominant operator. World Population ReviewInvesting News Network (INN)OCP Group

6) Bauxite (aluminium ore)

• Why important: feedstock for aluminium.

• Key stat: Guinea has enormous bauxite reserves and is among the world’s largest producers/exporters; USGS/industry reporting estimates Guinea’s reserves at several billion tonnes and recent export volumes surged (Q1 2025 exports ~48.6 Mt). MetalReuters

7) Platinum-group metals (PGMs: platinum, palladium, rhodium...)

• Why important: autocatalysts, industrial uses, investment.

• Key stat: South Africa holds the largest known PGM reserves and supplies the lion’s share of global platinum/palladium production (South Africa accounts for a large majority — often quoted ~60–70% of global PGM output). U.S. Geological Survey PublicationsInvesting News Network (INN)

8) Uranium

• Why important: nuclear fuel.

• Key stat: Significant African uranium producers include Namibia, Niger, and South Africa; Namibia (and Niger) have been among the larger producers globally (Namibia accounted for a notable share of world mine output in recent years).

For example, published country lists show Libya with ~48–50 billion barrels proven crude reserves and Nigeria ~35–37 billion barrels (figures vary by source and year). Africa overall accounts for a meaningful share of global oil reserves and produces well under 10% of global crude output (but is regionally important). Business Insider AfricaInvestopedia

11) Lithium & Rare Earths (and other “battery/EV” metals)

• Why important: EV batteries, magnets, green transition tech.

• Key stat: Africa has growing lithium projects (Zimbabwe, Namibia, DRC, Mali and others) and rare-earth occurrences under exploration; continental lithium reserves are smaller than Australia/Chile but several African jurisdictions are emerging suppliers. Reports and NGOs flag a lithium “rush” across several African countries. africangreenminerals.comGlobal Witness

12) Nickel, Zinc, Manganese, Lead, Tin, Tantalum (coltan) etc.

• Why important: industrial metals and electronics.

• Key stat: These are produced across Africa — notable examples: manganese and chrome in South Africa, nickel in Madagascar/Zimbabwe, tantalum/coltan in DRC/Rwanda, tin in Central/African producers.

Some Very Unique Things About Black People in the World

There is a lot to unpack when it comes to our blackness as African/Black people. Our skin complexion is not just an outward display of color; it is glory and potential the world has yet to truly understand. Let me show you some of these treasures.

All our physical senses are graciously active and more sensitive than any other race in the world—an essential feature in the early days of human evolution and survival.

Let’s start with the skin. Our skin is more sensitive than any other skin in the world. This is not theory. It has been verified over the years. We feel cold, warmth, touch, pain, and every nuance of physical stimuli in a deeper way. We also feel sex in a way no other race does. 

Perhaps this is why Black people enjoy intimacy more than any other people—the touch and love receptors on our skin bring feelings that are powerful, unforgettable, almost like something that acts as a drug, drawing you into sweet addiction. Our women also have high folate in their body, a compound that increases their fertility and conception rate. 

The power and grace within African people is far beyond what the human mind can fully explain.

And here is something to note: as Africans, no one should discover our strengths for us—we must discover them ourselves. We don’t need external scientists to define us; we have our own, and we will employ them.

Our noses are supersensitive—we can smell even the lowest odors from a distance. This ability was essential for survival in the early stages of human development, and it still runs in our DNA, passed from generation to generation.

Our taste buds are equally extraordinary. They respond intensely to all kinds of flavors. We feel beyond the five basic tastes. We can sense the exact levels of saltiness or sweetness, measuring degrees in our mouths. We can even differentiate layers within the same taste. 

These abilities are not ordinary; they are unique to Africans. This is also one of the reasons why we are so diverse in our food culture. Africa has some of the most diverse cuisines in the world, and our sense of taste and smell contributes to that.

Our eyes are remarkably active, both in the day and at night. Black people carry some of the strongest photoreceptors in the world. Our retinas can identify even the slightest nuances of color. Black women especially have an incredible ability to distinguish shades and unique colors unseen or unnoticed by others.

Our ears are another wonder. They are graciously active, capable of regulating and modulating sounds. We can hear the lowest whispers and the highest pitches. We can detect where a sound comes from, and we hear energy and emotion in ways others may not. 

This is why Black people feel music more deeply than any other race in the world. We sing, rap, hum, beatbox, and create rhythms that no other people can replicate—highly melodious, cultural, and spiritual. Music runs through us as grace.

Even beyond the five senses, Black people are unique. Our vomeronasal organ—an organ which detects pheromones essential for attraction, is keen. Our proprioceptors, mechanoreceptors, nociceptors, tactile receptors—all these receptors within the body—are extraordinarily heightened in us.

These abilities are not random. They are gifts. They are strengths meant to be discovered and used for the good of humanity. No race should think itself higher or more important than another. Every people has value, every people has glory.

The glory of Africa is what the world has never seen. But the world will see it—and marvel.
