Over 500 years ago some not so smart Africans were sold stories that they would be sent to Europe and America for a better life. Some went on by their own free will others were taken by force. The story has been told too many times of what became of those that left. 500 years later what is The African Dream?.

The Common African Man has one dream and one dream only. The dream to make it across the Sahara or the Atlantic, whether it be to go abroad to study, to go in search of work, or to claim refugee, 500 years later Africans have decide they’d rather be out of their homeland. Many have heard the stories of Africans traveling in all terrain and from the likes of Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast etc. To achieve this dream no all means are explored, some steal money and run away, some travel across the desert, some swallow viles of heroin and cocaine.

I invite you to watch Kingsley’s journey, this is the state of affairs in Sub-Saharan Africa today.

Kingsley’s Journey

Not quite August yet but its about time I found time to blog on whats in mind. In the month of August we’ll be covering a bunch of topics relating to The African Dream.

For some its a dream thats glamorous, like starting a fashion label, or launching a magazine, for others a dream thats treacherous with deserts, immigration officers, oceans and lifes at stake.

For all its a dream to overcome the circumstances that plight our continent, to better ourselves and those around us.
A dream that has taken most of us from our homeland in search of greener pastures.

In August we look at the african dream, through images, footage and discuss. Is it a dream worth dying for?

For Now I invite you to take a look at this - http://altnigeria.com/?p=129 . We will also look at whats in store for the next generation.
