The Imminent Rise of West Africa: The 21St Century Federal Nation: African States Union (A.S.U)

By Kofi Osei Takyi-Mensah

When the time has come for a new society to make inroads in developing better and sustained living standards for its mass people, its unique creation and growth of its wealth, and its prominent impact upon humanity, it has to go beyond and push the boundariesand this leads to creating a distinct and an efficient society. It is properly understood that no earthly and heavenly power can deny a peoples aspiration whose time has come to formulate bona fide solutions for their chronic challenges, long-lasting crises, and for a better extension of humanity in this moment, and the time to come.

The future has arrived. For the purpose of West Africa to be realized and fulfilled, West Africa needs to unite into a sovereign state with a federal republic government to create a distinct and an efficient federal nation inside West Africa called the African States Union (ASU).

The ASU would have the capacity to undertake huge and complex tasksthe institution of this new democratization of economic development. This concept is to build diversified economic educational tropolis (edu-tropolis) in every designated school district with a university. Most of the universities will be super universities designed as the epicenter of the local economic free zone. The institution of the edu-tropolis will be a remarkable help to accelerate the modernization of infrastructure in the new ASU federal community, such as the initiative of wiring the entire new ASU federal society for high-speed Internet access and building the complex modern transportation infrastructure, the high-speed rails that crisscross between the edu-tropolis economic school district hubs in the entire new nation.

The introduction of the twenty-first-century democratic system, the centurys monoparty democratic system, would transform the African political landscape. Here are some of the basic principles: (1) no political party formation, (2) all political candidates register and campaign for public office solely under their respective individual names, (3) legally institute a fourth branch of government, the electoral branch of government.

The essential role of linguistic diversity in engineering the wealth of the new West African society is the introduction of the new twenty-first-century multilinguistic ideas and policies.

Set up a commission with the clear mission of creating a federal republic in West Africa through a peaceful, timely, and smooth process.

INTRODUCTION

Another Completely New Dawn for the People of West Africa, Africa, and Humanity

When the time has come for a new society to make inroads in developing better and sustained living standards for its mass people, its unique creation and growth of its wealth, and its prominent impact upon humanity, it has to go beyond and push the boundaries, and this leads to creating a distinct and efficient society. It is also properly understood that no earthly and heavenly power can deny a people’s aspiration whose time has come to formulate bona fide solutions for their chronic challenges, long-lasting crises, and for a better extension of humanity in this moment and the time to come.

In this generation, the people of West Africa will deliberately regroup again for another completely different mission: to champion and inevitably reframe the view of the world with their own strategic vision and creative power. The future has arrived. The desire to take the next necessary steps to create something uniquely different for a far transformational improvement for the majority of the people, for ourselves, the environment, and be a revolutionary efficient is being realized. This grand vision and endless possibilities are not beyond, or a distant dream for the emerging African States Union (ASU) federal nation inside the West African region. For it is also completely accepted that no society upon the face of the earth that had impacted humanity greatly went the halfhearted way. The future ASU federal community in West Africa will go all the way to fulfill the achievements of humanity.

This Generation Is Far More Prepared because It Has Formidable and Inspiring Twenty-First-Century Fresh Ideas

This great opportunity would not be here without the fortitude and vision of some of the modern African nation-states’ founding fathers. Some of them do inspire this generation greatly to envision something completely different to marvel the world by looking at the endless human abilities and endless possibilities to dismantle the barriers. It has been acknowledged that their approaches were different because their era was different. Uniquely, some of them impacted this generation greatly—notably Kwame Nkrumah, the first prime minister of the nation of Ghana. They were resilient, self-motivated, and self-taught on how to administrate a newly fragile and complex modern African nation-state that was beyond their knowledge of power. For this, they do encourage this generation to take another inescapable step for the next greater mission. I’m strongly convinced that they laid the foundation and opened the door for this generation to take and champion this distinct and profound adventurous mission: to engineer a society worthy of its own. This era is far more prepared because this generation has more formidable and inspiring new ideas to empower ahead to reach the next step of monumental human achievement. This is to create a distinct and an efficient nationality and an economic powerhouse society.

The People of West Africa Must Want More than the Americans, Europeans, Japanese, Chinese, and Indians

The region, for so long, has lagged far behind in almost any human development. Some of this generation wrestles with these questions: why this misfortune for so long? What prolongs this misfortune for the majority for so long? Is it lack of large-scale and inspiring ideas? Moreover, the fundamental crises of tomorrow for Africa remain: the climate change, anemic economic opportunity for the majority, the wide spread of economic insecurity, the inevitable rise of economic inequality in the region, the increasing growth of population and the huge rise of the youth population, insufficient education system for the majority, extreme and chronic poverty among the majority, and many more. The current nations’ institutional systems will not be able to fulfill their hypes in the West African region. Based on my readings, I believe the current nations’ institutional system is not in the region’s best interest for the foreseeable future. It has its moment and purpose. It has made some improvement on the environment, and in some ways, it does work for some few people—but in a massive scale and efficiency, it has not kept its transformational mission. It is not sufficient and sustainable. It does leave majority of the people out in life-doomed situations, and it is out of touch with the masses of people on the ground. Moreover, it has not led to sustained intellectual, social, and political maturity—which are the hallmarks of genuine technological advancement of economic powerhouses.

The West African region’s majority deep-rooted chronic poverty cannot just be solved by technical solutions. The West African community’s many common problems are so deeply rooted in the soil that any authentic solution must bottom up from the ground, and not from the top to the bottom. The strategic solutions will be found within individual local economy and politics. This new approach is the democratization of
