PAN-AFRICANISE THE INTERNET
Here's a reality check: We might just be puppets in this grand technological circus. Social media users sometimes obsess over 'engagement' and their follower count, but let's be brutally honest—do we own any of it? This digital realm, in which we dance and reveal the details of our lives, is commanded by Western technology companies. With a flick of their switch, we're plunged into darkness. So, where's our tech sovereignty?
That's the essence of Pan-Africanism we should embrace. We must seize the reins of technology, just as China harnessed Weibo and TikTok. It's not about 'Googling' or 'tweeting' anymore; it's about crafting our own digital destiny. We need to fire up the servers in Accra and beyond, not be left hanging on the whim of a tech baron in Seattle. That way, we're not just users—we'd be the owners.
