State of African child

When the African child lacked formal education, they said, "if you had an education, this job would be yours".
When he obtained an education, they said, "if you had a driver's license, you'd get it"
When he got the driver's license, they said, "if you had a car, you'd get the job. You need a car for this work"
The poor African child then reached out to family and relatives who donated their last pennies so he could get the car because they knew what a blessing the job will be.
When he got the car, they said, "if only you had 5 years experience [for an entry-level position]".
The poor child then applied for unpaid internships at different companies to get some work experience, 5 years later, he's told "you're overqualified for this position"
The moral of the story... "dear African child, you're on your own". As hard as it may be, there is hope that the African child will be liberated from generational debt, break the shackles of poverty, and unleash generational wealth.
Over the past few weeks, many of you flooded social media with graduation posts. It was a rejoicing moment, even more to those who are the first generation university graduates in their families. You all made me proud.
As young Africans today, it is our solemn duty to eradicate the notion that by the circumstance of history, we have to depend on someone. We can be independent and create jobs. Theo Baloyi, DJ Sbu, The Fergusons are great examples, just to name a few. There is hope.
As Steve Biko said, "you can only be an oppressed person if you give your intellectual capability to the oppressor". We must maintain this mantra at all costs.
