Next Global Giant Awakens: New West African Regionalism and Africa

By Kofi Osei Takyi-Mensah

As the author of The Imminent Rise of West Africa, published in 2015, I had the epiphany to write this second book. Immediately, the opportunity arrived.

I foresaw the moral imperative and audaciously quantum stepped ahead and developed the duplex leadership and the authoritative capacity and courage to pinpoint the appreciable design of the postmodern twenty-first century massive and smarter commanding, empire-building institution, as they relate to the creation of the new postmodern twenty-first century innovative educational economic blueprint.

Besides, as the postmodern twenty-first-century African thinker, transformative entrepreneurial evangelist, and a smarter, industrious, commanding, empire-building institutionalist, my optimum and passionate intent is to revolutionary awaken the future West African superstate regionalism and the future African superb continental economic powerhouse to solidify the impeccable rise of the African bottom billion’s economic empire.

Globally, the African region is the fastest, overpowering population growth in the world and will still be the largest by the end of this century. The book boldly elaborates the emerging economic-wheel revolution, the new formidable economic structural blueprint for deliberately engineered-route to the on-demand economy and on-demand labor and immediate engagement and enlargement of the service economy in a massive scale and efficiently be able to accommodate the huge rise of the population growth in the West African region and Africa.

Conventionally, in the realm of humanity, it takes an unbelievable, tremendous energetic capacity to push the human race forward. It demands a powerfully stronger force. Apparently, the individual-current nations alone in the West African region and Africa are not standardized utility for this astronomical, ambitious, and adventurous humankind undertaking; each lacks the kind of postmodern twenty-first century’s marvelous strength or capability to fuel the new necessary economic revolutionary order. However, the individual-current structural nation-states in West Africa and Africa are the preliminary stage for preparing the incarnation of a massive and smarter industrious commanding, empire-building institution for every corner of African society. It is an architectural manipulation of the economic living standard of humanity.

INTRODUCTION

THE UNIVERSAL PHENOMENON AND OVERPOWERING OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN FASTEST POPULATION GROWTH IN THE WORLD: WHAT CAN WE DO WITH IT?

I envision a completely new transformed world. What is known as the American dream, it is now universal dream.

—Kofi Osei Takyi-Mensah

The ability to confront problem, complex problems, and to design solutions to those problems. The ability to create is the most empowering thing that can happen to an individual.

—Patrick Awuah, Ashesi University College

The idea of progress, so fundamental to the thinking of the modern world, is rendered moot if human beings were to accept self-imposed limits on what the mind could explore. Moreover, the entertainment of doubt about our ability to use reason to control and direct the forces of nature and our own future would put an end to the cherished utopian dream of the perfectibility of life on Earth.

—Jeremy Rifkin

Every Generation Inevitable Brilliantly Inaugurates a New Audacious Spirit of Vision and Aspiration

It is universally understood and widely jubilated that every generation inescapably gifted initiates an audacious clear new sense of vision and hope for the essence of humanity. Dutifully and unpreventably, every generation intelligently cries out for the deepest level of understanding for its premise of energy. And proficiently, each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it. (87) Thus, every generation boldly parades onward and yearns for an aspiring better transformed new world, in which the people themselves believe it exists and, as echoed by Simon Sinek, what is possible about the world for them.

As a new dawn, postmodern, twenty-first-century African thinker; a transformative entrepreneurial evangelist; and a smarter industrious commanding empire-building institutionalist, based on my readings, I have foreseen the arrival of African profound moment and possibilities as one of the greatest global new paradigms. What does this mean? Globally, the African region is the continent of the largest youth age group. Its current population is the fastest overpowering population growth in the world and will still be the largest by the end of this century. In this moment and foreseeable future, the increasingly transpiring population growth is an indispensable humanity’s precious economic gift or asset for Africa and also for the emerging distinct dimension of the globalized economic world order. However, its maximum utility for a revolutionary economic mission or economic strategic purpose is not a gift but an achievement, and I believe its achievement is an attainable.

In 2015, the sub-Saharan African Youth Population below Age 15 Was 406 Million: It Will Rise to 698 Million in 2050—the Largest in the World

A brief statistics on the sub-Saharan African region and global youth population growth trends below the age of 15 from 2015 to 2050. In 2015, the United States had 63 million youth population below the age of 15. In 2050, its youth population below 15 will slightly increase to 73 million. In Europe, in 2015, it was 117 million. In 2050, it will actually decline to 109 million. In 2015, in China, it was 255 million. In 2050, we will see it fall to 204 million at the current trend. However, at the writing of this book, China changed its one-child policy for nonurban areas. As a result, it has the potential to reverse the course by the year 2050. In 2015, in India, it was 364 million. In 2050, it will eventually drop to 317 million. In 2015, in South America, it was 104 million. In 2050, it too will dramatically decrease to 86 million. Accordingly, in 2015, in sub-Saharan Africa, it was 406 million. In 2050, sub-Saharan African youth population below 15 will overwhelmingly jump to 698 million. It is the only region the world will witness a huge rise of the youth population in 2050. The future looks African in 2050, one-third of the population under 15 will live in sub-Saharan Africa (The Economist).

By the estimation of the United Nations, Africa is going to totally double its population. In 2015, the population in Africa was 1.2 billion. In 2050, it will drastically rise to 2.5 billion. In 2100, it will eventually double again to 4.4 billion. The nation of Nigerian population will incredibly jump to 450 million. By the end of this century, Africa will be home to 39% of the world’s population, almost as much as Asia, and four times the share of North America and Europe put together (The Economist). The existential questions are the following: What is this astronomical phenomenon? And for over many centuries and ages, why now in Africa? Is it Africa’s greatest moment for a new paradigm shift? Nevertheless, what that figure really tells us is what’s really needed: a change measurable in order of magnitude. (87)

The foremost significant of all, it must be viewed as one of the greatest opportunities for any group of people or a particular region experiencing this massive humanistic phenomenon, especially in Africa. Why? Accordingly, for many centuries, Africa had always been the land of the least or one of the least populated continents in the world even at the moment of writing this book. Historically, and since the recordings of modern history, it is the first time the world is witnessing the land of Africa experiencing such an intense and overpowering population growth that slowly began from 1950s because of advanced medical technology against infant mortality and slow improvement of public health.

This overwhelming huge rising of population growth has the potential to become an uncontrollable social risk or human tragedy if not carefully attended and not properly utilized for its maximum economic capability and triumph. The scary thing is, this can be a huge waste of human resources in foreseeable future. Evidently, the situation has the potential to be tensed because there can be hundreds of millions to billions of youth marginalized without any security and future and magnitude individuals being disenfranchised for the costs of inaction. Knowingly, history is only tragic if people turn their backs on innovatory optimism. (193) For that reason, this generation has vowed not to let it happen, and I can courageously say not on our watch.

Universally, it must be declared at any given second that every fiber of my breath stands for this transpiring phenomenon, the rise of African population, and it is one of the greatest humanity’s opportunities. Indeed, my spirit envisions and marvels at this precious economic asset. My heart feels and cherishes this priceless economic asset. My mind seizes and understands this valuable economic asset. And my eyes see and magnify this immeasurable economic asset. Thus, for a colossal economic triumph, we must consciously, with every capacity, mobilize this humanity’s priceless economic asset to its economic monumental maximum potential and achievement. Admittedly, it was a noble obligation as a new age discovery African writer and postmodern, twenty-first-century transformative entrepreneur and a smarter, commanding empire-building institutionalist with passionate belief in nova economic and political activism while I audaciously quantum stepped ahead and developed the duplex leadership, the authoritative capacity, and the courage to initiate and engineer the new, postmodern, twenty-first-century educational economic innovative evangelism. Since as the saying goes, if one is neither witnessing nor experiencing the kind of robustly dynamic and massively economic structural model, one must be the one to innovate it.

Sometimes the System Is Predominantly at Fault, Not the People, the Age-Old Idea of Limitation Placed on the Dynamism and Expansionism of Humanity

The conventional wisdom that recurs throughout (humans’) history, . . . the superstitious belief that if the person before you (or a particular society) succeeded by doing A, B, and C, you can re-create their success by doing the same thing. (354) This has always creates hindrances for any new aspiring individual person for self-economic improvement and prosperity, and also to any new aspiring society’s collective economic empowerment and wealth creation. This unchanged mentality and principle of viewing things limits the power of creativity, the power of exploration of the endless frontier of humanity and its dynamism and ever-vast expansion, for it is easy, and appears to their timidity and their (354) lack of dynamic human innovation, for circumstances never repeat themselves exactly. (354)

The deepest confusion is that we are more assertively using the nineteenth and twentieth centuries’ ideas and methods for the twenty-first-century crises. Then they put the blame on the structural inadequacy of the people. Why the change, or why revolutionize some of the major systems, such as education and the economy? The world is dramatically going through some inescapable transformation. The robustly advanced computer technology and, emerging sooner, the quantum computing technology fueling the surge of globalization are unprecedentedly accelerating the process. For instance, the observational future economic understanding, the idea that Africa is the next region for manufacturing-based economic spectacular like China in our modern history, might not be the case. It will not happen at all in Africa. It is now economic conventional wisdom that China may be the only one of the last biggest nations that had the chance to experience the vast ride of the age-old industrialization model in our modern economic history. On top of that, as a global community, we are mistakenly if we think we can still maintain some of the major current systems we have in the foreseeable future. (257) We must face the fact that the rules and principles that have long underpinned our received logic of business, society, (education, politics), economics, and life are being turned upside down. (xix)

The common issue is almost every government and major institutions, notably the education systems, have slowly responded to the increasing speed and power of emerging powerful digital or computer age globalization. It speaks to the fact that many regions, nations, and notable institutions have not strategically positioned to cope with any of these eventualities (135) or found the series of concrete dynamic educational economic mechanisms to envelope their adaptability against the forthcoming powerful storm of digital age environment. In the past, the economist consensus was workers actually did adjust more easily to trade (the New York Times) but not so in the present and might be much harder in the foreseeable future economic labor market. Our best hope for the future is to develop a new paradigm of human capacity to meet a new era of human existence. We need to create environments—in our schools, in our workplaces, and in our public offices—where every person is inspired to grow creatively. We need to make sure that all people have the chance to do what they should be doing, to discover themselves and their own way. (xiii)

The Universality of African Dream in the Postmodern Twenty-First Century: The Audacity to Envision and Engineer Newly Transformed Economic World in Africa and for Better Extension of Humanity

It is universally common to label once a poor or disadvantaged economic society as lazy and unworthy until its citizens (314) become wealthy, a typical example in late nineteenth-century Japan. The same scenario has been referred to Africa for several centuries. However, here comes Africa in this new age environment. Profoundly, it can be now boldly declared that the new era has already arrived for Africa and humanity in this early postmodern twenty-first century. Emphatically, it is now a moral choice (22) on the part of Africans for a far new transformational economic world, and it is needed and possible. This is a new age deeper insight of pioneering ideas to engineer the land of unlimited economic opportunity frontier inside the future West African regionalism and Africa and for a better extension of humanity. I sincerely believe that we have already begun to understand the depth and breadth of the complexity of African postmodern, twenty-first-century universe.

Welcomingly, the world is already in accelerated motion landed on this early postmodern twenty-first century’s more effectively energetic, innovative educational economic vision. Audaciously, it is the idea called the African universal dream. Precisely, it is this book, as a new dawn discovery roadmap to the massive novel economic landscape, and its pragmatic experiment for the emerging innovative vision that is now the African universal dream. It is a completely new world educational economic opportunity order modified out from what is well known as the age-old American dream. In reality, it highlights a completely new dimension of universal dream pursuant and fulfillment in an emerging postmodern, twenty-first-century global consciousness. (17)

The further robust mechanics of restructuring the ideological belief tenet of the American Dream has now been wholeheartedly and massively demystified and desacralized (96) for universal revolutionary economic strategic purpose and achievement, as jested earlier on the above pages. In practicality, it can be pointed out that the new perceived visionary idea now called the African Universal Dream is secularized far more with its experimental basic premises. It is widely believed that the first thing to understand the American Dream is that from the very beginning it was meant to be exclusive to America. It was never meant to be a dream shared with or exported to the rest of the world. Its power rested in its particularism, not in its universalism. One can only pursue the American Dream on American soil. (17) In tactical sense for the postmodern twenty-first century, in short, the American Dream is a very old Dream, and becoming increasingly irrelevant in the new era of globalization. (85)

The Creation and Rise of African Bottom-Billion Economic Empire: Power of Self/Individual Economic Engagement in Consistent Action for Lifelong Education in Postmodern, Twenty-First Century On-Demand Economy and On-Demand Labor

In the August 2014 African Summit in Washington, DC, the then-sitting American president Barack Obama said that Africa is going to contribute tremendously to revolutionarily transform the world in the foreseeable future, as never been envisioned before. It is an affirmative vision. It is not a wishful thinking, but it is a new sunrise awareness and universal economic, cultural reality.

Evidently, the West’s long ascendancy was rooted in its ability to develop institutions that combined labour and capital in imaginative new ways (The Economist). It is this nascent philosophical economic conviction that the future West African regionalism and Africa must deliberately erect the next postmodern, twenty-first-century global, massive, smarter, and commanding empire-building institution, and it is part engineering the dynamic industrious democratized (decentralized) new educational economic development structural model. It is the mini artificial intelligence educational economic cities or urbanization—in short, the mini artificial intelligence cities or urbanization (MAIEECU or MAICU). That directly and immediately initiates the route to the on-demand economy and its on-demand labor. The new concept of artificial intelligence educational economic edu-tropolis district free zone, with its smarter super university (uni-tropolis infrastructure complex), will dramatically help allocate where the region can smartly initiate and develop the various economic sector.

The Great New Platform of Diversified, Individualized/Personalized Education System: As Distinctively Essential, Industrious Service in On-Demand Economy and On-Demand Labor

The mission of revolutionizing the current industrial revolution era education system is inevitably imminent. Its institutionalized transformation
