OBAMA SHATTERS MYTHS


It’s evident that the victory of Obama has given the world a new meaning. Among African states a belief that has been carried out from generation to generations, “the older the wine grows, the sweeter it becomes” has been hindering development. Assuming leadership roles were for older men, arguing that they have the wisdom in leadership contributed a lot to the hanging disaster.

Holding these myths at stake, Barrack has acted as a revolutionizing model to many, having a Luo origin and at a certain age having conquered the traditions. By electing Obama, the Americans have really served as perfect example to the world especially Africa.

“I have a dream, that one day my children will be judged not by the colour of their skin but by their content of their character.” These were the words of Martin Luther king junior. Fulfilling the dream, Hussein has made a history of being the forty-fourth and first African American president of the United States of America. Why can’t we Africans record a history by electing a young youthful individual to lead us?

Yes we can, bring the change we believe in. if this should be the motto in every African country then I don’t see the reason why a country like Kenya won’t succeed. Economy and justice who shall stand up and fight of it? This is the right time for youths to stand up in the gap and unite to take the world to the next level.

Here back in our own country and communities we’ve been hindered and shunned by these myths amongst our people that one can not vie for presidency and win if he is not of a ripe age. But thanks to the Obama record that has brought hope to young men
