Africa's Talent Factory is worth Infinity
Apart from the explored lands for discovery of Crude oil, Gold, Natural Gas and Water inherent in the fertile lands of Africa and hidden in the treasure of the continent's huge mineral resources deposits, one area is still left unearthed; Africa's talent factory. Sadly, numerical value can be ascribed to the worth of the aforementioned resources, but the worth of the talents is simply infinity. Amidst the constant battle against poverty, bad governance, war and various sectarian crises, the continent have a stronghold in diverse areas of sports, movie and the corporate industry. The mould of talents in Africa is rare, strong and expressive. It's like a double edged sword that cuts the deepest. Although, lots of these talents are languishing because there is no force to push it on! In the world today, there are various Oil exploring companies across the globe which includes Shell, Chevron, Mobil, MRS, Addax and much more. These companies scout fertile lands to explore crude oil and natural gas, and churn out billions each business year. But there are no talent scouts scouting for special talents. The worth of buying an oil well or exploring an oil rich area is the annual budget of the entirety of the 54 countries that make up Africa; and the cost of getting a talent therein is not worth a cent, they just need assurances that they will be well taken care of. Africa has rich history, tradition and myth; and a conversion of these trio to a movie series can bring hundreds of millions of dollars in return, with Africans participating as casts. In sports, there are lots of talents especially in athletics (marathon, mountain climbing), football, cricket and more. There are even willing players who wish to participate in Tennis, Golf, Basketball if only given the desired mentoring. So much said. Some of its talents are evident in the international community. Hakeem Kae Kazeem, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyongo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Genevieve Nnaji, Whoopi Goldberg and the likes are doing well in the movie sphere. Philip Emegwali in ICT. Oostuizen, Gabresellasie, Okagbare in sports. Tuface, Sarkodie,Davido, Micasa, Mafikizolo, Falli Ipupa in music and so much more. Africa's talent factory is still left unexplored despite the discovery of the aforementioned acts. There are better talents still unearthed in the scheme of things!
