   African creativity must be Africa's invaluable diamond or gold of the future. What is taking place in Ghana about that project of lighting Africa shouls give Africans with the seed of super-giftedness an opportunity to awaken the sleeping creative giant within them. However, African super-gifted cannot do this by and on their own without the direct participation or suppport by African leaders and government. Even before the African Union government comes into play, incumbent African leaders and national governments van do something about Africa's gifted and super-gifted minds and souls. If Africa will take the lead in world affairs once again, African must focus upon her gifted and super-gifted children or citizens.
