Time to take the bull by the horns

So often, people have very wonderful ideas. And for so many years, these wonderful ideas remain just that, ideas. This, most of the time, is caused by a fear of taking the first step into the unknown and most times, the fear of failure and what ‘people might say’. For many years, there were various theories on the shape of the world. Some said that it was flat, like a table and that if you ventured too far out, you’d slip over the edge. It, however, took some courageous people (among them Christopher Columbus) to, question, explore, navigate and map the world. And because of them, these theories were proved wrong and now the world is a global village. There have been so many conferences, summits and seminars held in Africa, all geared at mapping the way forward.
