    I was born in Kenya, one of the best-known countries in Africa. Born in family of nine siblings andraised in an extended family.My school life was characterized by singing songs of unity about Kenya, and that was experiencedby my classmates and schoolmates as well.When I was reading my history text books, I learned of the likes of Nelson Madiba Mandela, theanti-apartheid hero of South Africa, Dedan Kimathi of Kenya, Idi Amin Dada of Uganda and PatriceLumumba of Congo.All these leaders had different leadership styles that made their countries what they are today.Most of these leaders only concentrated on uniting their countrymen and left the rest of Africascountries to be either united or disunited by other Africa leaders and the colonialists.The formation of Organization of Africa Union was a good step towards uniting Africa for a commoncourse. Since 1963 when the Union was formed, we should have done a lot as a continent. Why isit necessary for African countries to unite? It is vital since we have most of the worlds natural

    resources. The irony of it is that we are the top financial lenders.The thorny question that comes into my mind has never been answered. Can Africa feed andsustain itself? It is possible if we unite for a common course and remain true to our commitment.In reality when African countries unite, that does not mean that we will not collaborate with othergovernments from other countries. It means that we will be able to be more productive and efficientin our work. We will be pushing for a common agenda, not only in Africa but also in the world ingeneral.What will this unity entail? We will have a common currency and one center of power with

    representatives from all the Africa countries. The representatives will elect a common leader onbehalf of the citizens of Africa.We are aware that the African Union exists, but it is a toothless entity that cannot make decisionsfor its member states when in political or economic crises. When Kenya was burning in 2007/2008the entity did almost nothing.We need to create a united Africa by establishing a legitimate and powerful entity that will helpAfrica solve its problems.Why doesnt Africa have a representative in the Big Five Nations that governs the United Nations?Instead we have agreed to live as enemies of ourselves. We have also agreed to accept that ourdiversity cannot be used as a tool to strengthen ourselves. When you look at Africa and hear aboutAfrica you are ashamed of your motherland. We have left other people to present our stories theway they wish to. In Africa there are more good things to be documented. The challenge is in ourhands. We can represent our continent as a good place to invest in. We can show the unendingefforts of the local people in agriculture and other sectors.What do we think people feel in relation to a United Africa? People have different opinions that areimportant. There are disadvantages of Africa uniting. What are some of the shortcomings?It is time we stand together and address our challenges together. We have the brains, manpower

    and skills to do so. Africa can be made better, and once we have transformed Africa it would bepossible to transform the other continents.
