Panel Discussion: Major Issues Holding Africa Back

<p>Welcome to another episode of the Think BIG for Africa Podcast. This episode is the beginning of a new format of panel discussions about important issues surrounding Africa and its development.<br/><br/>Today, I’ve brought back three (3) former guests to discuss “The Most Important Issues Holding  Africa Back”. <br/><br/>The panel members are; </p><p>1. Ekene Banye (Host) - Nigerian based in the UK</p><p>2. Rev. Walter Mwambazi - Zambian</p><p>3. Namy Bak Sudjic – Ivorian based in the UK</p><p>4. Willem Gous – South African<br/><br/>Two of my guests started their familiarization by discussing one of the most important issues in Africa; Energy (electricity shortage).  Then, we got into the main issues of our discussions;</p><p>-       Leadership</p><p>-       Lack of unity (this got a little heated)</p><p>-       Belief Systems: Religion &amp; Culture </p><p>-       Education</p><p>-       Personal responsibility and hints of Entrepreneurship</p><p>Of course, there are many other important issues, but these are the ones we decided to tackle first. None of them were discussed exhaustively, but enough as a start and maybe with uncommon perspectives for further in-depth analysis in the future by others.<br/><br/>Listen, share, and kindly subscribe to the Think BIG for Africa Podcast on your favorite podcast platform (Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, Amazon Music, etc).<br/><br/>Enjoy!</p>
