Small essay for African youth

In this short essay, the author attempts to place youth at the heart of the development process in Africa. The reader will understand, by following in his footsteps, that inequalities are immutable, no matter from what angle they are approached or the scale from which they are apprehended. Subsequently, through formulas that he poses and applies consecutively through clear and precise examples, he clearly shows that the educational system that makes the student a reciter is obsolete and deserves new foundations. For this reason, he clearly establishes the difference between the accumulation of knowledge and the assimilation of knowledge, while at the same time highlighting the complementarity that exists between theoretical knowledge (knowledge) and practical knowledge (know-how), without which any competence would be incomplete. Finally, he discusses the social, health and economic risks associated with uncontrolled sexuality, alcoholism, drug use, gambling and membership in esoteric organizations of a pernicious nature.
