Former Joy FM Super Morning Show host, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, made an enchanting presentation at this year's TEDx event hosted by Labone, in Accra.

Despite the seeming hopelessness in Africa, Kojo believes young Africans are not only entitled but duty-bound to dream and dream big.

What is the size of your dream? Big enough to purchase a gulfstream Jetliner? he asked.

The iconic broadcaster said his belief in the young African is strenghtened by the fact the African continent is rising with lots of young people thinking through solutions to problems bedeviling the continent.

There is the need for a change in the mindset of the African towards solving the society's problems. It is possible to get Africa up. How to do it? Build capacity, gather resources, start with the little you have and strive for excellence.
