What is the hindering Africans from innovation and invention – why can’t we make things for ourselves right here in Africa?
The question that has been in my mind from the time I was 10. I am writing a series of philosophical ramblings I used or using or will use to try to answer this question.
This blog is about my self-paced learning process as I re-think as an African and re-learn everything from scratch and in a practical perspective. Think of it as documentation of my journey as I try to change the story of Africa, I’ll talk about the different approaches I use in learning (not the traditional African way), talk about every learning material I use and every mini-project I do once a week and the main project every month.
Keep in mind that I am not a blogger, I just wanted to keep reference to the things that I aspire to achieve to tell my fellow Africans what it is possible to create despite your continent and I thought it’d be nice if a Successful African engineer had his whole career documented, every approaches, decision he/she took and resource he/she ever used from zero to hero, this is what I’ll write about here.
