The African Union will need to
educate, recruit and train millions of youth for its numbered divisions and
groups; ... but not for military conquest but for waging war against poverty,
ignorance and disease. It will need generalship in the battles that
determine how youth of the future will live or die.
Generation #67
(C.E.1980-2009) in
respective states of the African Union will have challenges
(when their gifted and talented come into power)
to build and devise an effective federalism that affords development of the
continent. The biggest challenge is not about the acts of acquiring it, as
previous generations sought to do; but, rather using it, much better than past
generals and politicians, once acquired!
Getting along with others in order to get on and up in building economies that
work well for the majority most of the time is a process that begins and ends
with what is in the hearts and minds of men and women who matter most in the
eyes of those who can see futures lights.
We use the term
"federalism" in the
context of standards of accounting across the boundaries of multiple political
states with their own self interests and functional allegiance to administration of a common cause ... African Union.
We believe that in the very first instance of development, expertise must be
resident at one or more universities or institutes for a specific standard item
coded below. They are not general codes, and thus not to be generalized by
elders or professors lacking functional expertise in the matter at issue.
Secondly, there must a constituency
of productive citizens who need or want what the expert is the assumed proponent for? In
other words, expertise ought to be market-based, not simply something in the
curriculums because such is in the curriculums of Harvard or Oxford.
Experts on Shakespeare should only exist in African scholar circles, if that
person or persons is actively engaged in the training of actors and theatre
groups needed or wanted in the society. Indeed, professing but not doing
... is little more than preaching.

Third, but not last, is that
entrepreneurs must be the persons who execute the needs and wants in the context
of laws and regulations, ... authority. On the same vein of thought, such a
hypothetical scholar should then be engaged in getting various local groups of
aspiring actors and artists to build and sponsor theatre companies to serve the
public needs and interests. How? By what is otherwise described as a
self-interest group lobbying to people with the means that help make good
matters occur. Otherwise, the brightest light placed under a basket will
enlighten no one! People need freedom of access to shine their lights upon
men and women who would be helpful.
An important lesson is to understand
that no single state in the Americas, Europe or Asia has all the human expertise
and material resources listed below. Federalism in the United States came
into existence because no single state, including the powerful states of
Virginia and Massachusetts, had everything their people needed or wanted.
The same now holds true for Europe and even Asia where people and goods hourly
and daily move across political boundaries.

Whether a government or cooperative
authority of any or collective African Union States have come into existence
because of people or property, .... it cannot account for what it seeks to
encourage and effectively govern without modern quantitative and qualitative
tools to help group and measure an understanding of the many millions of
contractual transactions that occur in its caring and responsibilities.
Listed below are 89 groupings used
by the United States government contracting officers in its various defense
department contract agencies. And, believe it or not, each standard item code
listed is regulated in accordance with a specific law and implementation
regulation defined by the policy-makers and years of policy-making.
The standards are applicable to both
the issues facing policy-maker superiors and private sector entrepreneurs; but,
also very importantly for the recruitment and training of young men and women
with expertise in specific functional categories and classifications. It
is all about what Reverend Jesse Jackson has preached from the mountain-tops of
our faith for over forty years, ... keep hope alive.
A little further Africa, the path is bright!
Let the dead bury the dead, the future belongs to the living!
For generation #67, the challenge is
to comprehend that no man or woman, regardless of their intellectual credentials
can possess expert knowledge or generalize most of the items listed below. Much
of what has been charged as corruption in Africa past was simply due to lack of
competence in the bureaucracy to do what is done daily in more advanced
government bureaucracies, beginning with the basic principle of
"the division of labor."
It discards onto the ash-heaps of
history, the false and arrogant notion that a good teacher can teach anything;
and, a good manager can manage anything. In fact, short of self-glorification,
the pundits of such nonsense never taught or managed to do matters that matter
in the short-term, mid-term or long-term.
In the short-term, millions of
children must be made literate and functional to learn and do more for
themselves and others. And, the mid-term years are all about preparing
chosen youth to gain hard skills to be good at what they are needed to do.
Giving these youth long-term freedoms and encouragement to build Africa will
generate the desired outcomes ... GOD
willing.
For the African Union to succeed, it
must have not only supportive political systems but also a well-trained and
motivated bureaucracy that has been educated and experienced in modern
techniques and technologies more or less divided and grouped as set forth below
