The 22 Year Old Kenyan Dropout Building Botswana’s Biggest Farm

That is really true. Africa has the potential to feed the world if the leaders stand up and do something about it. For now, African countries are not allowed to grow their own food courtesy of the ruling elites of this world. Sadly enough, 99.99% of our leaders go along with their wishes

what i love about your videos is that you take all of us on a journey with you. Your channel is all about positivity. I think many people are looking at africa with intrest, we want to know what's happening there. There are some other channels that started out like yours, showcasing africa, Highlighting good things happening in the continent. But the main channel i followed turned mostly into anti western propaganda, where instead of highlighting africa it seems like the focus of the channel shifted to portraying any non-african entity as evil. Many people here are not evil. We look at the future positively, I think most people , anywhere in the world become happy when they see entrepreneurs in africa make it. We all saw the speed at which certain Asian countries caught up to the west. We live in a time where humans can interact with each other so much more easily. When korea, japan, etc suddenly started sharing their culture people loved it. Modern manga/anime was inspired by western comics. Japan created it's own take on it. And now it's loved all around the world, sparking countries like china, korea, vietnam or even some western countries to create their own anime. Korean movies and series are blowing up in popularity. Not to mention good food you get exposed to nowadays thanks to cultural exchange. People build and improve on the ideas of others. I personally can't wait for the future. Africa has so many people. There's so much potential for people sharing their world, and their story. I think you're one of the early adapters, you're doing great work. Africa has many unique things to offer to the world, and you're showing some of those!
